[Feedback] There needs to be a reason to use transit

General Discussion - PVE & PVP

I know tasks will come eventually, but I'm just gonna try to lay out what I think are the main issues with the current system, somewhat in the context of hardcore wipe, but most points apply even in normal gameplay.

First, let's summarize the downsides of using transit:

  • Additional loading screen - this may be very long depending on in- and out-of-game time and region
  • Cannot switch loadouts: You can't switch your docs cases for another set of keys, you can't restock ammo or food
  • Static spawn point in target map, possibly close to other transit users
  • Longer exfil time
  • Transit zones can be highly camped if their use is enforced
  • Your dead teammates can't join you, meaning you probably have to just run to exfil instead if you don't want to make them wait

With all this you only get the benefit of the "item transfer service" but few people in hardcore are carrying enough money on them.

But the other half of the issue is that normally there's just no reason to ever use transits, unless you're desperate to take the closest possible exfil. There's loot in every map. Yes a few items only spawn in select maps, but there's plenty of money to be made anywhere. Even when there are tasks, very few demand you use a transit. So overwhelmingly, even right now in hardcore, there's really next to nothing that would make me want to use a transit.
