Rather than change the UI, let's explain how this works.

If you find a flare gun, there are two things you can get:

  • An APC, called the BRDM. You can't shoot out of it and can't be shot in it.
    The only exception is the Lynx AMR, which is a crate gun and can penetrate the BRDM. The BRDM is also amphibious.
  • A crate with level 3 gear and a crate weapon.

How do you get what:

  • Look at the map. There are two icons. One of the BRDM. One of the crate. There is a number next to each one. That number shows how many are available.
  • If you are in the circle and a crate is available, the flare will call in a crate.
  • If you are out of the circle and a BRDM is available, the flare will call in a BRDM.

That's how it works.

No need to update the UI.

Edit: As others pointed out, the Lynx can penetrate the BRDM. Updated to reflect this.

No, you shoot it directly at enemies because it's a power move and you don't need any of that crate shit because you've already got a dp28 and a crossbow...

This comment filled me with some strange raw energy. I might equip the barbarian muscle torso skin and hotdrop to flex on people with a crossbow now..
