Respawn with a weapon and armor

Respawning in the late game with nothing is silly.  You should respawn with at least a p2020 and white shield and your ability charges to give you a fighting chance.

weapons

    @Dalepeople 

    P2020 is one of the best weapons in the game when you have Hammerpoint rounds. Do you think that could be an issue if players dropped those on the ground at Respawn points?

    Don't sleep on the P2020. 😉

    @Dalepeople, it's not silly at all. Great teammates will drop their secondary weapons for you when it's a late round or enemies are pushing. Others will open the lootbins around the respawn beacon and ping stuff for you while you're dropping, so you can grab a gun quickly or just run without looking back if there's nothing worth picking up. They can also provide an escape route for you, by opening portals, puttting up a zipline, jump pad or by slowing the enemy by throwing gas / smoke cans, artillery or bombing ultimates, etc..

    It's a good moment to see the true value of your team.

    Yup - another example where an organized team has ultimate advantage over a squad of randoms.  Try being on the other side of that equation one of these days and see how you feel about it! :-)

    Personally, I wouldn't mind this, but it must be based on your kill count and revives.

    When you spawn in the drop ship, you will have 15 seconds to leave the drop ship until you're forced out.

    Depending on your current kill count and revives when you was spawned in, you might get some decent loot but nothing crazy.

    Say, for example, you got 7 kills and 2 revives when you was respawned by a teammate. There will be a electronic loot case that gives you the option to pick a few things before the electronic loot case locks up, which prevents you from taking anything else.

    In this case with 7 kills and 2 revives, you will be able to take slightly more loot before the electronic loot case locks and the loot rarity/variety is slightly increased.

    It's just a thought, and this idea can be changed to fit the balance of the game. 🤗

    It would be cool if we could respawn with only 2 Arc Stars or let us choose between arc star, grenade or thermite so I don't feel completely useless end game haha xD

    I just want access to my abilities in case we're immediately attacked. Late in the game there are tons of barely touched death boxes to loot simply because the team that killed them had better gear or switched they're blue armor for a purple.

    If you can respawn safely then you'll eventually run into some free loot or ambush another team and take theirs. If your two geared up team mates aren't fools then this shouldn't be too hard.

    It's more challenging to play without you being able to help but honestly not a big deal.
