You reuse a game respawn beacon?

Question

I really should have saved the video but I was with randoms at countdown on the drop. Surprisingly only 1 other team dropped. My team was Wraith, LL and me as caustic. While beating that team the LL got thirsted. My wraith teammate then used the beacon at countdown to respawn the LL. The LL came back and looted her box and the other deathboxes. Wraith pinged shooting by skyhook so I went with her. The LL never came and got jumped by a solo octane and died again. Wraith and I won the fight and managed to get back to her and get her banner. It was then I noticed the Countdown beacon was showing it could be used again. So I used it. She came back. We went to trainyard and in the middle of a fight there she wouldnt come up to my train car and died again. During the fight wraith got the banner and respawned her right then and there. The LL then proceeded to die pretty quickly again. Wraith and I kept fighting but eventually lost a 4 way fight.

I always thought beacons were one use. Has anyone else been able to respawn twice on one beacon?

@hayhor They are supposed to be 1-time use. I also have seen this and thought I was just crazy and assumed someone res and they didn't. Glad to see it wasn't just me why I didn't post about it I figured I was wrong

@E9ine_AC Yeah I grabbed the banner and thought ok we gotta move locations but then noticed the green beam. I was very confused. I wish I had thought to save it.

@hayhor it is one-time use but I also saw this happen once,I was surprised and thought that I was losing it or something but now after your post I know that am not crazy 🙂

@hayhor Yup they are supposed to be 1 time use. Are you sure it was not a mobile respawn beacon that was used? I have gone back to the general area of a used respawn beacon because I knew there was a mobile in a crate in the general area.. Then respawned them.
