I�m thinking about getting the Adv. Engineering cert. Do any of you old Vets know:
1. How long does a mine/spitfire stay around after you have placed it? Until you log off?
2. If I just drop something, like a med kit or an ammo box on the ground, how long will it stay there before it deconstructs?
3. If you put a motion detector next to a Spitfire turret will it fire at enemy inviso�s who move within range?
Thanks, Rada

1. Your deployables stay until they are destroyed. I've gone back the next day after logging off and found my deployables still there.

2.Dropped items stay around about 5 minutes.

3. Motion sensors will only detect infiltrators if they are moving faster than crouched. When it detects them they will show up on your minimap and if you look at them you'll see their name above their head. If they are detected, then yes the spitefires will shoot at them.

Something I should add.

You are allowed so many deployables per continent. The amount of deployables you have on Hossin will not affect the amount you place on Amerish.

The limits are:
10 spitefires
20 mines
20 motion sensors
I don't think there's a limit to boomers
