    I leave that one for the lower level players to take so they can feel like they’re contributing to that part.

    Also, I die a lot.

      I do the same thing. And then cringe when they take something else like decreased extract time.

        What?! Extraction isn’t even required for the mission to count as successful!

        Such undemocratic inefficiency.

          And you can block patrol spawns right now by standing in the right spots anyway, so why bother speeding it up?

          Same. I thought I was being a cool guy sharing my personal resupply with the team.

        Yeah if no one runs the booster, I immediately call in the resupply when we land. 2 grenades and stims is some bullshit.

          Wait. That’s not how you’re supposed to play? Bullseye a bug hole/bot fab with your pod, clean up stragglers, drop a supply (on a hole or other stragglers) and then call for your support weapon/jetpack… Then, begin the mission.

          Right? 🫠

            I try to avoid dropping hot if I can, just because it sucks so much ass to get rocked by heavies before you can call down your support weapon. Still, it does feel gangster as hell to land in and murder a whole patrol before they can call in backup.

              Yeah, I hear that. It’s not every time, but there’s just something about riding that bullet through the entire atmosphere to orbital strike the fuck outta a POI and jump out swingin’. I’ve had my share of Chargers and/or Titans waiting outside the door, but still: the looks on their faces before I’m wet paste? Worth it.

      I mean, 20 respawns, 4 players…

      In a 30 minute match you’re getting a single free supply pack every five minutes. Max benefit averages over the team if you use all respawns.

      There’s better options.

      It’s almost always better to take something consistent than something that only helps after a certain thing happens.

      I use the same logic when I throw my friend’s reinforcement on top of the bile titans.

        So long as you get it close enough they can hit it, all good… Not much worse than dropping in beside a bile titan.

              Nice! It is surprisingly fun. I saved it to the very last thinking it would be a small difference, but that is not the case.

                It’s like going from steering by leaning to actually having a stick. 😱

    I find it’s worth taking. There aren’t a lot of good boosters out there. So if the stamina and health ones are covered I’ll take this one. Missing out on 2 stims and 2 nades kind of hurts. And if you drop in hot or get reinforced in the middle of a firefight having those extra 2 stims can be enough to get out without dying again. Especially with random because most of the time that resupply will be on CD because some chuckfuck decided to go solo and call in resupplies who knows where.

    The game is all about movement so the must haves are always:

    Stamina : Go faster longer

    Muscle Enhancement: Go faster in more places

    Vitality : Don’t take as much limb damage, live longer
