Remove Mobile Respawn Beacon From Replicators

Rank boosting for real money is an absolute epidemic on console servers.The number one way it is perpitrated is by means of a team of six all in the same party landing together on a point of interest that contains a replicator and crafting mobile respawn beacons and proceeding to kill 2/3 members on each team then just use the mobile respawn beacons bought from the replicator to revive teammates over and over again. Teaming does happen during the days the mobile respawn beacon is not in the replicator, however it is not nearly as horridly abundant as when this device is in it. I see it in game going on for hours on some servers and even people posting in Xbox Looking For Group in attempts to find groups to boost with. Respawn if you decide to put this device in the replicator for competitive play I support that, however you absolutely need to remove this device from the replicator in ranked play especially on console because of how bad the boosting is. Unlike the ddoss'ing this form of boosting (which is arguably as bad and game ruining) is much more difficult for you to track and ban. The easiest solution is to just remove the boosting item from the replicator. Also the current KP system also easily enables boosting aswell though I heard you guys were fixing that.

Fellow players, if you have seen this in your games please let respawn know. I have seen this in both diamond and pred lobbies and it is grossly abundant. I'm sick of cheaters ruining this game. It's so bad that some of the top preds on console are also known cheaters. Please make this in game change.

  • @AndrewSLGK I made a topic months ago back when it was happening in either Season 7 or Season 8 and it got even less attraction than this post from 2 weeks ago it seems nobody seems to care that players are basically cheating their way to predator
  • I've seen this in EVERY ranked game I've played today. Kill feed is just filled with Wattsons in streamer mode killing other Wattsons with fences.

    EA/Respawn could easily get rid of this thing with removing mobile respawns, at least temporarily.

    EA/Respawn i'm sure you have a way of knowing who is behind a streamer name? Just wondering if sending videos of this helps..

    @AndrewSLGK @chuckmynorris 

    See the below from @Cheese9Man that he posted in the General discussion threads. 

    It seems that business is booming for these scums since they’re more of them now. Unfortunately for these people, Hideouts did a little bit cleaning today.

    Back to my thoughts on this:

    Looks like Hideouts is working on the teaming/farming issue.

    the Mobile respawn Beacons are not the problem it is the players abusing the system that are the problem.

    Played a game where my team was in the final ring and my teammate was able to use a replicator and get a mobile respawn beacon and respawn me, do to my teammates actions we were able to get the win. Without the ability to do that we would have lost the game. 

  • I can see that in ranked that they are cancer because of this but I don’t see any harm of them being in pub play, idk if it’s just me but have they been removed from pubs too?
