Suggestion for being dragged for revive

Since we can hold a button to hold up an arm and call for a medic, why cant we when we are being dragged , pull out our side arm, if we are carrying a pistol, (not a sling two main weapon gadget) and cover the soldier thats dragging us to safety? I would like to at least try to use my pistol while being dragged. If i can raise my arm and scream for a medic for a few seconds, why go all rag doll the moment someone starts dragging me? Let me draw a small sidearm and start trying to cover fire. Just a thought.

  • Because technically you are not able to be targeted or damaged while being revived/dragged. This will mean you can shoot at people while invincible. The alternative is to allow the downed player to have HP and be damaged, which then means you will likely die from a stray round while being dragged away. This is great for realism, but defeats the purpose of the drag to cover and revive mechanic. 

    Presently, I feel as though the drag is in a great place in the gameplay loop, that allows you to be taken from a dangerous position and brought back to a safe location for you to stand and get your bearings instead of being revived in a doorway to immediately be gunned/grenaded/rpged back to death. Part of that loop relies on you being invincible while downed.

    I think the drag mechanic is fantastic as it is, and probably one of the best innovations we have seen from EA/Dice in a long time

  • Maybe they can add it as a branch ability except assault as its already hard enough to kill them. It would suck to drop them and be killed by their pistol 

  • Actually it just occurred to me since assault its too tanky, instead they can make them like the others classes but give them the ability to use the pistol when they are down. And if you shot "kill" them again, they can't pull their side arm, instead they have to hold the revive request or bleed faster

    just a taught but I would like players to be a little more cautious when they play. not just run and gun but if you still do it these would be a nice incentive to go for it
