Apex Legends Self-Revive Changes Coming Soon

Apex Legends self-revive changes could be coming soon according to Respawn producer Josh Medina. While the item can seem like a powerful one, there are multiple problems with the knock down shield. For one, it takes a while to use, and seems like it can delay a squad wipe more than actually give a player a chance to revive.

During a busy firefight, the item prolongs fights too long, and during late-game scenarios, there no worst feeling than losing a placement to a downed player with a self-revive.

The problem was brought up by Albralelie from Team SoloMid. Third-partying is a major focus in battle royale games, and can be frustrating for most, but the self-revive shouldn't be used for a delaying tactic or to gain a higher placement.

The item is so rare, it should rewards players with a second chance, and should revive players much quicker, giving them the incentive to use it, and get back into the fight. This would eliminate players using it to hide and gain a higher placement.

Everyone wins.
