Leviathan controller issue.
Following the controller remap a few months ago I reworked my controls on console to resemble the old system as closely as possible. It took a while to re-train my brain to use L1 to change weapon ...

Yeah this oversight is quite disappointing. The mode is fun but not being able to plant really messes with your effectiveness as an attacker.
When attacking you're incentivized to pick up a dropped lance because it's on a reset timer, but if you pick it up and can't plant it there's no way to drop it besides getting yourself killed.
Time is a key factor in this mode so you end up wasting time for your team either way — don't pick it up (since you can't plant) and wait for a teammate to hopefully pick up the lance before it resets, or pick it up to avoid a reset and then wait for an enemy or something to kill you while trying to keep it in a good position for your team.
I guess I need to take some explosive with me so I can "drop the lance" for my team if necessary. I prefer to play Falck though so the only option is a grenade, and smokes are pretty useful in this mode so I'd rather not give them up.
*sigh*
The only thing I would suggest is to pick it up anyway and take it to the objective and then "redeploy" to drop it for a teammate who can plant it. At least this helps with getting it to the designated area to plant
@NickQthePrinceThis is what I have been doing.
Not ideal but it works when playing either a team mate with whom you can communicate not to rez you.
