Ammo boxes do not regenerate. You get more when you respawn. Also this guide should point out that the HEAT RPG is more effective against infantry than the frag one. The frag one is trash so don't waste your time with it.

[Vinchucca]

Do ammo boxes regenerate? Or how can I get more? I always seem to run out of boxes as a support class...

[Gekquerel]

it doesnt take from squad points. each box has its own set of supply points, and those points are pooled among the weapon slots. eg it can only rearm so many grenades, but that wont stop it from refilling primary weapon magazines

[SheerluckHomeless]

I still can't wrap my head around how ammo boxes from support class work - do they have a certain point limit allowing to shed out limited number of mags to people or do people use their own squad resources to take ammo from the box? Is there any benefit to small ammo boxes? Thanks for the guide!

I'd been wondering what the difference was between the different binoculars in this game. I find it kind of silly that the Recon doesn't have access to the SOFLAM considering it's the only one with a rangefinder, and similarly silly that there's a difference between regular and advanced binos. Maybe someday the devs will consider collapsing the types of binoculars, or maybe they have plans to add an actual lasing feature to the SOFLAM binos along with laser-guided missiles in the future, similar to BF4. Either way, I appreciate the guide and at least now I know there's no special feature for the advanced binos that I'm missing out on lol.

[Gekquerel]

huh, coulda sworn i wrote a description for it
its a essentially a decoy, having a scope glint effect.

updated the guide, thanks for pointing it out

[Binoculars]

what does that other sniper gadget do? the thing on the ground?

[DerRotkopf]

Very useful, thank you!
