addedSafe ContainersSteam post imageYou can now choose not to activate any equipped Safe Container the moment you go down - trust your squad instead. If they repel the attack and revive you, you’ll get all your gear back, Safe Containers included. The risk? If your team gets wiped, the enemy walks away with both your loadout and whatever you tucked into the container. How much faith do you have in your crew?
changedBeaconsYou will be able pick up Beacons after placing them to shift your desired respawn point! Just wrapped up a brutal firefight? Scoop up the Beacon and redeploy it where you need it next. In addition, if you didn’t place your Beacon at any point before death, you’ll respawn at your original spawn point when you first entered that raid – not where you were slain.
addedEnhanced Respawn BeaconsSteam post imageThe Agency will also be rolling out new Enhanced Respawn Beacons. With them, a fallen Operative will respawn with Agency-issued rental gear – helping them to quickly re-engage and try to reclaim their equipment from the enemy at the site of your last stand.
