Apart from the obvious one where when you put the beacon down it just doesn’t activate, I have found another bug with the beacon and wonder if any other player were encountering the same problem. This is where you put the beacon down but instead of you squad spawning on the becon or yourself, they actually spawn on another squad member position, the drawback of this is you cant actually pick the member you are going to spawn on but it is just random, once the member had died it revert back to the beacon but you are sort of screwed if he is in a walker or something.
Nope, never heard of it.
do you see it on the map, outlined in red? Sometime if you place a beacon in a place that is no in line of site with the sky it will not allow a spawn.
No it actually shows up as a spawn point but its moving sort of like the way it would with the squad leader but it is a member of the squad.
Yea happened tome once or twice I like that glich
No, ive never had it happen to me personally, but it might have happened to toher members..they never told me...
Hey wait aren't you like #5 in the world?

If you don't like where your beacon is going to land you spin your pod around and around as fast as you can and it will drift somewhere else (you can use straff to sorta guide it but not realy
My favorite glitch is the one where the beacon is in the middle of the map where you can spawn and on the map its all the way out in the out of bounds area moving about. I have had that one twice.
happened to me a few times too, kinda annoying if the person is an idiot and is sitting in the middle of a firestorm
If you place the beacon under something (e.g. roof, medkit, ammocrate, other players etc.) it will not work.. this is to avoid padding and to stop players from hiding it under a medkit or ammocrate (making it impossible for the other team to find)jsnipy wrote:

Some idiots even drop them inside the titan,, how can they think a pod can penetrate the roof and drop them in the reactor room??? thats retarded....
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
The bug has happend to me too, but I have also been getting another bug with it.
Look carfuly on the start where you see the map look for the Green spawnpoint.

But you can also place it inside and still be able to spawn on it on the outside. Making it safer to secure the beacon.ShawN_ wrote:

No you can't... when the beacon is under a roof (e.g. inside titan) it does not work... if it does it is a bug...PhaxeNor wrote:
