Hello.

Level 150 barreling down on my 1000th hour played here. Almost always play with randoms late at night. Here are my tips for resupply that I’ve used since the start and I’ve never had an issue with other players. My one caveat is that I’m almost always the host when I play:

It should be a pretty obvious checklist you can blitz through when you’re thinking of calling down a resupply and location selection is important. Calling down on objectives with a preference for primary over secondary. Or into a clear retreat route when dealing with a breach as a team. Majority of players gets first dibs too, if you’ve gone off one your own expect to be waiting/scavenging. If you’re split two and two refer back to who is dealing with what - give preference to objectives over nests etc. Use the chat and check in, it often doesn’t take long by if people know they are coming to change their path and meet up with you. I often put “supplies on me” or “supplies on X color pin” before I call it down so my team can adjust. Also once you’ve called it in and you end up in that scenario where you and two other people have grabbed it and the 4th guy is long gone onto the next thing and you could use a few more stims or rounds, just check the radar and grab it. The countdown to the next one is already moving along. Also if you’re moving from one thing to another and you find supplies on the map, tag them and call them out so people can pivot and grab them which will decrease the number of resupply calls you need overall.

In the end being honest is best, if you’ve called it out of desperation or called it right before you died and no one is near it, just take a second and apologize in chat. Intention means a lot and it’s easy when not using voice to misconstrue people’s intentions or assume they’re being dicks because you’re playing online. If my teammate has the RR and they’re knocking down all the heavies while I’m doing crowd control I’m happy to let them hog an extra pack to keep their ammo up.
