That is a hilarious coincidence, not a game breaking problem.

You just happened to punch someone who was cloaked. We don't know whether he was lining his gun up with your head getting ready to pull the trigger or was still loading in. A second or two later and he would have uncloaked before you punched. A second or two earlier and he would have seen your red dot near the uplink (because they have a small sensor radius now) and may have chosen not to spawn there.

If you had been shooting at the Uplink you would not have killed him. If you had been fluxing the uplink you would not have killed him. But melee or a Locus Grenade would kill.

I often chose to spawn at Uplinks or CRU's that have enemy close by so that I can ambush the camper. It is a risk for me to spawn, but not as much as before the spawn cloak and small sensor radius were added, and the cloak gives me a bit of an advantage over the camper.

When I run Logi I always leave a Remote Explosive on any Drop Uplink I place, so I encourage you to continue to punch Uplinks. When I play Logi I need all the free kills I can get. Twisted

Right as your screen fades from the deployment screen to the black transition screen, the grey death screen pops up because someone punched the uplink as you spawned. Seems fair? Yes, it sucks to be killed randomly at spawn by someone who was just trying to melee the uplink. That's accidental, but a very rare occurrence. If you actually felt bad about accidentally killing someone who was potentially totally unprepared, that's great. It means you're not an asshat and likely don't camp. I like you. The problem isn't being melee'd, though, because, as I said, very rare occurrence. The problem is people who purposely camp with one shot capability weapons, like REs, a forge gun, or Nova Knives. Especially since the only ones who can survive heavy damage weapons are Sentinels specifically built up to take heavy amounts of damage. And even they are now at incredibly depleted health and are much more vulnerable than they would normally be. I'm sure everyone has been spawn camped in at least one point in their Dust career. Hell, I just got out of a battle where someone was camping a spawn with REs, but they were placing them high up on the wall so the explosion would catch the player but not the uplink. Regardless, though, a second or two of invulnerability would do wonders. You could even write it lore-wise as 'still travelling through the worm-hole' and 'seeing what's on the other side before you materialize'.

Spawning into a killfest is going to get you killed even if you had 5 seconds of immunity. However, not being able to spawn into it would fix the issue and prevent most spawn camping. Just make it a radius of 10 meters and be done. While you are at it, prevent droplinks from being placed too near each other. Force us to space them out.

Even though anyone paying attention will notice that we JUST took the point with around 5 people. Spawn protection on Objective points is acceptable. CRU's and Uplinks shouldn't have them. CRU's even have scanners on them now FFS. Uplinks are inherent risks. People need to be more careful. THINK before you spawn. Currently listening to: Tsukihime OST Un-Retired PC Scout.
