It acts like a regular SLB but it makes your squad spawn faster. Instead of 15 seconds to spawn it takes 10 seconds.

But don't you have to have the beacon pre-selected before you die to receive the time bonus? I have not really used it too much so I am not sure.

Ya what has been up with that lately? Either the Drone slams into me at spawn or just explodes in my face. I am assuming patch 1.20 did this?

I think that new SLSB makes a difference only when you get killed right away and not criticaly wounded (and that very rare). Not 100% sure...

If the squad leader has the new unlock you will respawn in 10 seconds when you spawn on him even if he doesn't have a becon deployed.

That's the best news I've heard all week in the BF2142 community! 

I suspected this but wasn't sure, and to get confirmation from those guys in my squad that actually had a mic was just as rare.

Select the beacon from the Customize Screen (It will be the only beacon still - Passive Upgrade) and throw it down.

You will only be able to spawn within 10 seconds if you're actually dead (shot by AT, ground defense, on a ladder and so on), if you're critically wounded it still takes 15 seconds since the medics need a shot in hell to reach you.
