Supply Crates

Supply Crates can only be accessed by the Faction that called it in. Inside, player will find a limited supply of Ammo and Med Kits. Once the supply has run out, the crate will become useless and eventually disappear. Supply Crates must be called in using the "Call in Supply Drop" command by an Engineer. The Supply Crate will remain where it is dropped for 3 hours or until it's supply is depleted.

Using a Supply Crate
Once the Supply Crate has landed on the ground, players can access it's contents by walking up to it and pressing the A button when prompted. This will open up a small menu on the players screen that will show how much Resources are in the crate compared to what the player has on hand.

Should the player need to replenish anything, the player must highlight what resource they will need (Ammo or Med Kit) using the D-Pad, then pressing the A button. This will take the corresponding resource from the crate and add it into the players pack in increments of 20 for Ammo and 1 for Med Kits.

Once the player has taken what they need, or just need to exit the menu, they can press the B button, and the menu will close and return them to the game screen.

Hacking A Supply Crate
Some Engineers may have the ability to Hack an enemy Supply Crate. Doing so will grant them access to it's contents, however, it will not close the Supply Crate for the enemy team.

By selecting the "Hack Enemy Tech" command from the Abilities Menu, the player will see their character pull out a small Datapad and hold it in front of them. Approach the enemy Supply Crate and press the A button when prompted. The player will see a progress bar slowly build up on their screen. Once the progress bar is full, the enemy Supply Crate has been successfully hacked and now be accessed by both Factions.

When hacking an enemy Supply Crate, players are vulnerable for several seconds, so it is good to have a squad member nearbye to watch your back.
