Forever.........

He went to go loot the bodies... That was his choice. Did he notify you that he is doing it, or did he ask you to wait? If not, then it's his fault. If he did ask you to wait and you still went on, then it's your fault

I asked him the move, no reply. Oh well. Almazrah is a dangerous place 😳

Leave it next to it and it will stay as long as nobody else steals it from you

I don't think they can steal it, just kill the hostage and the chopper will leave.

Operators cant kill hostages. If the team that starts the contract dies then they will stay there till the gas gets them

But bots can. I wonder when you find a hostage (from enemy team; that they saved and left somewhere to get back to it later) and then you attract bots to go to that place... will bots also target hostage in such scenario, when there is no team that it belongs there?

Oh gotcha. Have never really used em like that so good to know. Would be awesome if you could steal it. Could you jump in and then kill the hostage?

I've never tried this, because it just occurred to me, but does picking the hostage back up cancel the countdown?
