That answer would have made me angry if that wasn’t for that terrific use of this meme

Rock and stone !

Same. I’m usually out of flares before anything else.

On another note there’s a lot of people in haz 4 and 5 that shouldn’t be there. It’s not just scout. Gunners not zip lining or shielding, drillers not drilling or throwing c4 everywhere blowing up teammates, or engine not platforming or placing turrets.

I posted this because it’s still an issue I run into nowadays. And I know what you’re most likely thinking. ‘Well, you must be playing with greenbeards.’ Surprisingly, it’s mostly players that are ranked 30 - 50, that don’t seem to remember or care to use the flare gun, when it seems fitting. If I had to chuck it all up, I would say that greenbeards (ranked 0 -20) make up about 7% of the players that I play with, within a given week. They get a pass as they are still learning the game. Miners (ranked 21 - 40) seem to make up about 20% of players I play with, within a given week. They are experienced but still make a few/several greenbeard errors from time to time. They for whatever reason(s), seem to forget to use their specialty guns. Dwarf (ranked 41 - 60) They tend to make up about 15% of players I play with, within a given week. They know their shit pretty well. They are just working on mastery for the most part. And surprising to me, they seem to have the most people not using their flair gun to light up big areas until several minutes after we have walked around. Or they don’t keep a few light sources going while we are in the area.

It’s just weird to me to experience it this often, that I’ve gotten into a habit of asking nicely for light from a scout, after a few minutes of being in a big area.
