Not a fan of the mobile respawn beacons
They take so long and are so loud I'll likely never use one in regular play. I definatley wouldnt waste a backpack slot on one.

They're barely useful. Barely. Definitely not something you keep in your inventory.
They just missed the point of the complaints against standard respawn beacons entirely lol.
It was never a issue of people camping them....it was the fact they were so loud and visible, which leaves you highly vulnerable.
So they create a system which vastly enhances both these issues.
I've only been respawned once by one as not a fan of A&D. As I dropped I could see hordes of enemies streaming towards the respawn point! My poor little BH took so many bullets his gas mask fell off.
I actually found them useful and I kinda like them! Here are ways I'm using MRBs:
1. Use it as a bait: when you want to make enemies come out of their hideout, or when you want to distract them and rotate safer around a cliff.
2. Faster respawn: when you have the high ground or when you know enemy teams are not close or they are busy fighting each other.
3. Respawn in bad circles: when enemy holds or used the only available respawn point and you really want to bring your teammates back.
Of course everything comes with a price and using it is not risk free and I believe
1) if it could respawn automatically, and didn't need you to wait long for its landing and then standing still for activating it
Or
2) if it lands and activates faster than normal respawn beacon, then it would be much more useful
p.s. maybe it gives leavers on casual games a motivation to remain in games a bit longer.
