Northern army Sl promotion

Is there a way to get the pick axe without dying when you get promoted to sl on the Viet side? If not either having it spawn in the inventory would be handy or at least being able to pick it up at ammo dump.
I regularly get promoted within the 1st 30 sec of the game and having to commit suicide and run back to dig a tunnel is sometime what it takes for us army to capture the first objective.

other minor suggestion: is it possible to remove the traps from the grenade tier?

Both these things have been annoying the crap out of me, since beta!

-having to suicide & respawn, causes a big delay in getting squad tunnels down & put's your squad behind the 8-ball from the outset.

-Maybe SL specific tools can be assigned to 7,8,9? Its a real pita, having to toggle through multiple items on the same key.

TLDR; Ridiculously awful idea that would create unrestricted camping/spawn camping hell.


It is designed this way to prevent severe camping. This prohibits a squad from creating tunnels at a moments notice in any location without carrying the consequences of having the tunnel destroyed. For the American side it is the same idea, to prevent anyone in the squad from acting as an active spawn point at any given moment. It essentially makes everyone a squad leader on demand, just that the role must be passed around and that at least one person in the squad is alive.

Think of how disastrous that would be if anyone could make a tunnel in a scenario where the SL died and the role was continuously passed on. You would have a squad that could quickly relocate tunnels at a constant rate and never get evicted from select areas. Or having one of your squad members sneak behind enemy lines, get instantly promoted, and become an instant spawn point.
