Respawn & Vehicles

How to respawn properly, use objective respawn points and buy vehicles from the respawn terminals.

Respawn guide

Player Respawn Menu

What to do when you die.

  1. When you die, wait for the respawn screen to appear.
  2. Do not instantly click a random spawn. Look at the map first.
  3. Pick a spawn close to your squad, objective or safe area.
  4. Captured DEFEND towns and outposts can create BLUFOR respawn positions.
  5. If a captured objective is lost or changes away from DEFEND, its respawn point can be removed.
  6. After spawning, regroup with your squad before pushing back into the fight.
New player rule: spawn where the team needs you, not where you personally feel like going.

Vehicle Respawn Terminal

How to use the normal vehicle terminal.

  1. Go to the vehicle terminal/sign at base.
  2. Look at the terminal and use the mouse wheel action to open it.
  3. The top of the menu shows your current points and the costs.
  4. Select the vehicle you want from the list.
  5. Check whether the vehicle is ready or still on cooldown.
  6. Click the respawn/buy button and pay the cost.
  7. Make sure the spawn pad is clear before spawning vehicles.

Spec Ops Vehicle Terminal

Separate high-value vehicle pool.

Spec Ops vehicles are separate from the normal vehicle pool. They are meant for serious operations and have a much longer respawn timer.

Use Spec Ops vehicles for Spec Ops missions. Do not waste them on base messing around because the timer is 30 minutes.

Service Points

Repair, refuel and rearm instead of wasting vehicles.

Vehicle and UAV service costs 10 points. Bring the vehicle to the correct service area, stop fully, use the action if shown, and wait for the service to complete.
