Hey there folks, I'm currently trying to spec toward Drop Uplinks (I feel like strategic placement of those bad boys can be the ultimate game changer). But even with optimum placement I find it rare that ANYONE uses them! I don't have a mic, and I don't think anyone checks the chat during the game. Does anyone know a good way to spread the word of a prime uplink to jump to?
Or are my fears valid that people just rapidspawn without even checking for better locations? (or waiting for a revive, don't get me started lol) |

I am aware lol, but I need alternative suggestions! If there even are any, mostly just checking to see if people have found a way around the limitation |

I always try to use the uplinks, even if they're a little bit out of the way, just to give our Logis more WPs. They work hard, so a quick little reward is easy to throw their way. I think a lot of it is people just trying to get into the battle as quick as possible. I know I'm guilty of dying 1-on-1 at a letter, and just spamming respawn at that letter to try to get my revenge without looking. I think that's a lot of it in pubs. You can always use the trick my wife tries. Put your uplink right next to a CRU. It's rather pointless yes, but you do get points at least. |

Thats not pointless, the first thing they take is usualy the CRU and you dont get much warning. Unless you actualy mean right next to the thing heh, but hidin nearby has served me well.
To the OP... the problem is often because its squad spawn only. If your going solo they dont always put you in a squad, and if they do who knows what your squadmates could be doing. Only way to fix it is premade squads, no one uses the mic or listens. |

Someone filed a petition and the answer came back that uplinks are squad only except for the hacked uplink from the merc pack which is for the whole team.
It'd be nice it that was listed on the item somewhere. |

whoa, good to know. I currently through the hacked uplink all the time in ambush as it gives an instant rally point. Training up to the others and will be seriously bummed if it isn't for whole team. Seems kind of pointless then. Link should work for everyone on your squad or at least make the lvl I's squad, II team or something. I mean, nano's work on everyone. |
