Primary

[BLUE PANDA]

So I know primary's are KOS, but what if someone gets gun planted and gets instantly KOS by a Ct for having a primary who may or may not have seen that t getting gun planted, does that count as a free kill?

From what I understand it is technically okay to instantly KOS any T holding a primary however many look down upon it when time is not given in appropriate situations.

 

Although I won't be providing a screenshot as I'm currently away and on phone, the ruling in the clarifications thread says that you are KOS on the pickup of the weapon, just to clarify my above statement with the official ruling. As I said though most would prefer if CTs gave Ts who accidentally picked up a primary a chance to drop it.

This is correct.

 

And most good CT's can spot when a T drops a primary on another T, and will give you a second or two to drop it before KOSing you. But if warning shots were forced on T gunplanting primaries, it would just make it easy for T's to pass it around on purpose, with no risk, etc.

The situation that irks me most when they see you clearly accidentally picked it up and instantly dropped it, yet they kill you anyway for picking up a primary. Like they aren't wrong doing so, it's just a dick move.

If we forced Guards to play more hesitantly about Prisoners picking up primaries things would more difficult than they currently are for Guards so we tend to lean towards just punishing the people baiting & gunplanting rather than CTs for not being lenient about it.

This. If you have a primary, it is up to the CT if they want to KOS or give you a chance to drop it.
