I just finished a Bridge and multiple times the objective returned like seconds after dropping…not even time for a player to run up to it…
Now I understand why they made it tick down…but seriously…not even enough time for someone else to attempt to pick it up? That is a little overboard…
yea too fast for my liking
but it does make people run to the objective instead of camping with the objective

We weren’t even camping…a Proxy grabbed it and went outside to the right…she was half way to the tunnel and shot down…and bam…almost instant return.
It should be a build up over time…not even having the objective half way to the turn in when just grabbing it and instant return is insane.
It’s almost impossible to make a push when you’re against a team with Naders spamming…a few Aura and a Proxy mining entrances…they were hunkered down and we just didn’t have any Nader or Fragger to fight explosives with explosives.
But we grabbed it a bunch of times and just got taken down by explosives spammed at the objective when we did grab it.

in my experience that fast only happen if the container is manually returned.
but sometimes it does seems faster than usual even nobody touches it.
the devs gotta look for bugs tho.
I don’t remember it returning fast at all till after I came back to DB after a few months break.
It is a bug.
The return timer ticks down even while the objective is held, and isn’t reset on being picked back up. This means it can return instantly if the time has run out and the carrier dies.

I’m pretty sure the timer used to reset if the objective was picked up. Is this a documented change?

Not all the time. I’ve seen it reset while people are holding it. It’s really weird, but it’s been around a few months now. Pretty sure I made a thread a while back.

Never seen it reset while someone was holding it, thankfully…but yeah…seen people shot down and it returns itself in mere seconds.
