Its the only way we could limit the class to Squad Leader only, so you must be the leader of a squad to select the kit. smile

I think its pickable without being leader, only if no one else in the squad has the kit.
You will notice the lack of a spawn beacon if this is the case...as being the leader is required to have that item... and if someone already has the kit , you get the 1000 second timer .
could be wrong, but I think thats the case.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

There are ways to use the officer kit, with being either a lone ranger or as part of a squad.  The easiet is to become commander.  The other ways I think could be "bugs" so I won't say in a public forum.

It's not limited to one Officer per squad, either. I've been an Officer class squad leader with two other Officers in my squad. I've also been the second Officer in a squad when I selected Officer kit because I intended starting a squad, but then I joined a squad and forgot to switch to another kit before I spawned in. It was a normal spawn countdown...

The only difference I saw was that if leader you get the spawn beacon, no leader - no beacon.
