Supply Pouch Magnetization?

MrJacobvich​ 

Thanks for putting those examples together and for showing the comparison between the previous tracking behaviour and what you’re seeing now.

I’ll pass this feedback and the examples along.

Please look at the attached YouTube video that demonstrates how the tracking used to work (pouch goes directly to friendlies every single time) then compare to the clips I attached that I just recorded that show there is no magnetization at all anymore.

Hey MrJacobvich​ 

Thanks for clarifying.

I checked the patch notes and couldn’t find anything indicating that the Supply Pouch targeting/magnetisation was intentionally removed.

There was actually an update which mentioned that thrown Supply Pouches should prioritise players who are low on, or have requested, health or ammunition. That doesn’t necessarily mean the stronger homing behaviour from previous Battlefield titles should be identical here, but it does make the current behaviour you’re describing worth looking at more closely.

If you’re able to capture a short clip showing a pouch landing next to, bouncing off, or otherwise failing to connect with an injured teammate, please share it here. A couple of clear examples would be really helpful for showing how consistently this is happening.

Thanks again for the additional details.

When the game released pouches would heavily magnetize and fly directly to friendlies for resupplying with ease.  Such as what is featured in BFV, BF1, and BF2042.  This feature was removed from BF6 many many updates ago and has been absent from the game since.  This is a constant problem and not simply a bug that happens only sometimes.  I frequently see the pouches land next to friendlies and they don't pick them up or even bounce off of friendlies who clearly are hurt and could take the pouch.

Hey MrJacobvich​ 

Thanks for the feedback.

If you’re seeing this consistently, could you share a few examples of when it happens? A short clip would be ideal, but even details like the map, mode, approximate distance to the teammate, whether they were moving or stationary, and whether the pouch landed beside them or passed straight by would help illustrate the current behavior.

Appreciate you bringing this up.
