Please give us an easier way to heal people

Hear me out, in BF1 if you had the bandages equipped(on console) you could simply spam the heal button to issue med packs to friendlies and if they needed meds it would go out to them, you didn't need to view their health bar to see if they needed meds or asked for meds, one button one click done they get heals

in 2042 you need to first take out your sirret(sp) pistol then aim at your teammates and shoot them with it with relative accuracy and the only way to know if they needed health would be to aim directly at them, this is honestly time consuming and cumbersome...the process needs to be much simpler IMHO, 1 button 1 click like in previous games to throw out meds to others and to yourself, honestly it just feels like a hassle to even WANT to provide teamwork.  The revive process is actually much simpler and maybe THAT needs to be switched instead of the pistol.  In previous games IIRC you needed to hit a d-pad button and then one of the other buttons to start the revive now its just square to do a revive...so basically you've made it easy to revive but hard to keep your people ALIVE instead of the other way around which is completely backwards to the last 4 or 5 battlefield games.

Maybe you have a med pack gadget planned or maybe its already in the game and I completely overlooked it but if not please give it some consideration.

    @Lt_Schofield Medic CRATE or medic pack? very different items. I assume you've never played any of the previous battlefield games.

    The "medic gun" is pretty awful, it has worse hit-reg issues than any gun in this game has ever had....

    Hopefully they will improve it's accuracy/hitreg and make it easier to use, because it is pretty annoying at the moment. They could even make it easier to hit without aiming too precisely.

  • @foff667 And you would assume wrong, Thats the name they call it, you drop it like a pack. Trying to help you and your being a *.
    I know you cannot throw it like past BF's but its all we have.

    @Lt_Schofield again give us a better way. Don't make excuses for their failures. I guess you just forget all the features in the past games you played.

    @foff667 The Syrette gun can be used similar to the med pack. Just shoot at the ground near the team mates you intend to heal. Just like the med pack, the just need to step close to it, to be applied.
  • @foff667 look the mediic gun was a good idea you dont have to break cover to heal someone, it was just implemted a bit wrong. The armour packs that angel throws are like the old med packs, but they don't alway work either.

    I like the heal gun. You can heal your mates from quite a distance, without putting yourself in to much danger. As mentioned if you have trouble with hitting someone, just aim at the ground. You can spam heal even petter than in previous Titles.

    @theBus2142 My problem isn't aim it's ease of use, makes me not want to play the medic roll at all.
  • I enjoy using the medic gun especially since now that I can heal using it without having to chase people around like I did with the med packs in previous games.  I just wish that there was a repair tool equivalent.
