Weapon pickups

[Mikey]

I'm not sure what the deal with this is, whether there is a time limit on when you can pick the weapons up or something I'm not sure.

 

But I've noticed a lot recently that sometimes they do not pick up until a short while later or do not pick up at all. I've seen a few others trying it do to no avail, so thought I'd let you guys know so the developers or whoever can fix it if there is a bug in there somewhere.

I think you can only pick them up if you killed the person, which is why you can't pick up backpacks that drop from people killed by tiberium, etc

I know this problem, there is a always a certain time till you can pickup the backpacks.

It has nothing to do with tib or something like that.

If you kill someone you can pick it up in like 2 seconds. If i kill someone and someone else tries to pick it up it takes longer

I don't think that's the case I've picked one up right away after someone has killed another person, so that's out of the question

For the first 5 seconds you can only pick up an enemy's backpack if you helped kill them. If they were never damaged by a player then you can pick it up immediately. None of this applies if the backpack is from an ally, in which case you can always pick it up.

Alright thanks for clearing that up
