I can’t spawn on the own beacon more than once

battlefield-3

After setting a beacon, dying, and spawning on my own beacon as a non-recon, I can't spawn on my beacon any more after that. Why not?

Best Answer

The moment you respawn, your beacon gets destroyed. If you want to respawn in a place multiple times, you have to put down a new beacon every time you respawn.

Squadmates can use the beacon as long as it is intact. In some Rush maps (e.g. Operation Métro), once the current objectives are destroyed, all beacons self-destruct. Players can, however, place new beacons immediately after a base has been taken, allowing for attacks on rear positions. If the original placer dies, the beacon will disappear on respawn regardless if they spawn on the beacon.
