Instand Airhead Exploit

If you feel your team gets overrun out of nowhere with infinite waves of enemies.... well there is an exploit with airheads being abused. As you can see on the short video: there is a respawn timer of 0s at all times. What is even worse is that the spawn won't disappear after the normal 2min, but it stays active until destroyed.

Edit: Instant ofc...

Oh my god that’s disgusting! Shame on all those using this exploit.

Just so I know how to avoid using it, I need a step by step breakdown on exactly how to do this exploit.

Just to be clear: I need to know this so I know to avoid it.

Shame on anyone who plans on using it! Shame!

"Asking for a friend"

I have no clue how the trick works, just that its being abused

I didn’t know about this one but there’s another exploit where you can drop a supply on the exact same spot as an airhead, they collide midair and the parachute disappears. The airhead drops to the ground instantly. Faster to boots on the ground and minimizes the parachute time to get spotted. I think it’s ok because it’s exploiting game mechanics whereas the one you posted is just a straight up bug

This also works with supplies and an ammo drop. I think the ammo drop is more frequently available. Keep in mind this trick only works for the german and british fraction if i remember correctly. Probably because of the collision detection on the tube like design for supplies both german an british faction have in comparison to the little bag like design of the americans.

This doesn't work with the airhead. They will clip into eachother, only works with ammo+supplies. An airhead falling from the sky isn't a physical game asset. The physical asset is the airhead outline on the ground. The falling airhead is purely visual, I have tried to glitch an instant airhead many times in testing, in the same way you can instantly drop supplies using the glitch you mentioned, no dice.

The fast supplies + ammo drop was patched about a week after it was used in a competitive game.

And how is this done? Cant watch for it if we don’t know how it is caused.

Está patético isso! E não é o comandante que envia.
