This is something that I still to this day do not understand about DUST. Why do the spawn times on objectives vary? Sometimes it is 10 seconds, 7 seconds, 5, seconds, or 3 seconds. There never seems to be a pattern to it, it just appears random and "luck of the draw"-ish.
Does anyone know why this happens, or is everyone else in the dark like I am?

It depends on how you die I believe. Explosives and head shots = faster spawn in.
Not sure on this though. |

Right? Sometimes a mlt UL can have a 3 sec spawn time! so much for proto. Like you said, if varies a lot.
What if the mlt injector revives at fifty or eighty percent sometimes. |

Several factors:
1. The longer you wait after getting killed shortens spawn up to as litle as 3 seconds; for example if you wait 6 seconds to click the respawn, you are at 4 seconds to come back in
2. If you are outright killed without a chance of revive, it is always 10
3. If you are spawning on an uplink the time may be shorter depending on the type of uplink

Not true. I've had 3 second spawn times on objectives after taking a locus to the face. |

Does it depend on the number of team players alive? I feel like I get the 3 second one more frequently when I'm being stomped. Some sort of attempt at balancing? Pure speculation though... |

So far it looks like no one really truly knows then....this has become quite the perplexing mystery.

You're right - if you had been previously killed, and sat there for say x seconds, and were revived, and you then get killed outright you will revert to the previously decreased spawn time. Thanks for reminding me.

Not that I'm aware of.

One of these days, sir, I need to squad with you. Would be nice to do so since I've seen you around since Summer 2012 but we've never met.
