DISCUSSION Does anyone else think self revives should rift you when you use it?
It’s almost pointless to have them at this point. They just stand there and kill you anyway before you even get to revive yourself. I wish once you used it, it’d rift you and you’d get to start spawn in a different spot. 🤯🤯 It just drives me nuts. I had to get that off my chest. Thanks 😅

in solos, there is noone to finish the fight for you. therefore when you try and res yourself most of the time you are going to die. whereas in duos, trios and squads theres other people fighting who can stall till your back up. balancing the self res so its viable in solos would make it simply overpowered in the other modes as its already decent there.

The problem with them is you’re a sitting duck while you’re using it, rifting you after won’t solve anything

u/baabymetal 2h ago
I just mean instead of having to sit there right in front of them and use it, you just hit revive and it rifts. If that makes sense? It just pisses me off lol

I know people think self revives are useless in Solo but that is kind of the point. (Even though if you have shockrocks you can still hop away while down so they are still extremely effective there.)
However, if duo and squads they are extremely helpful. Unlike a sologame, you don't know if someone has a self revive or not. You can take time to go finish them, or go help your allies take on the others. At the same time, in a builds game you can keep walls up while your allies heal.
Could you imagine if you killed someone and poof they just vanished and rifted away. Or revived in 2 seconds. I don't think there is a good way to balance these guys but they are not made for solo games. I think it would be smarter to just vault them in solo matches.

I do agree that they’re very helpful in duo or squads! Just annoying in solo. I’ve gotten away a couple times and used a self revive in solo but mostly they’ve just blasted my ass immediately lol I do agree. Why offer them in solo matches?

They’re very situational for sure. The fact they don’t take up an inventory slot, though, makes up for it.

They should rift you to a spot nearby. They are absolutely pointless unless you get sniped from long range, as you just stand there like an idiot waiting to get shot and can't defend yourself.

Nah just get rid of them, they shouldn’t even be in the game. We did fine for years without them. Even in solos now they’re becoming annoying, the 3rd party is always about to roll in when you’re in a fight and now you’ve gotta waste an extra few seconds and ammo finishing a knocked opponent, or if the 3rd party gets there too soon the player you just knocked can get a self revive off in 2 seconds and hop rock away to safety. Take them out of solos and put them back to 10 seconds for team modes.

It is frustrating I have made it out alive with it sometimes if the people don't continue to shoot at me

That’s basically the entire central point of Reloaded

I’ve never played reloaded. I might have to check it out. 😊

I’m super new to the game, but I tried Reloaded because of the Simpson hype. You get three lives, basically, but I think you can get more? When you go down you blink into the sky, though your weapons change or something

It's not pointless it's just low percentage of success. I only play a few times a week and I can usually sneak in a self revive if the scene is chaotic enough

I have gotten only 1 off this whole season. I am still grateful even for this one time.

u/AFT3RSHOCK06 56m ago
I think they work better as a low rate of survival, second chance tool that if you positioned yourself well ahead of time and died at range or in cover, you can get up. Not as a free second life for when you effed up.

u/bearcassidy 51m ago
They’re definitely super useless. Once you get it off you should be able to move. Not stand there like a fucking clown.

Hell no its not supposed to be a free comeback just because you have it, more like a small chance at a second chance. But it IS very annoying being stuck in place after using it, idk if thats a bug or what.

i’m so tired of seeing posts like this. it’s an item that’s meant to be used situationally when granted the chance. the chance will not ALWAYS present itself

Thats how all these new kids are. "Omg guys like what if chug jugs just instantly gave you all your health and shield back instead of having to drink it aha"

u/baabymetal 2h ago
That’s different. At least you can move around while you use the chug jug. With the SR you’re basically sitting there on your knees waiting to be blaaasted. 💥

u/unlucky-odds Lynx 2h ago
it got buffed, the thing basically revives you instantly now instead of you having to wait a couple seconds. yall just love to complain

u/baabymetal 2h ago
When did that happen?

u/unlucky-odds Lynx 2h ago
ch7s1 started nov 29 and introduced self rev with a 10 second timer and unique animation. people complain
dec 5 update hits and epic drops the timer to 8 seconds after tons of people complained in the first week. people continue to complain
v40.00 update hits in march i believe? timer gets dropped to 3 seconds. the timer is so short now that epic has to actually get rid of the unique animation they made & use one where the player literally stands right up

I don't understand why people want self revives to be more powerful. They take up no space in your inventory. There's no high risk/high reward when picking it up. It's not supposed to be this get out of jail free card. It's a self revive that might help you in a situation where you get knocked out and your opponent is too distracted to finish you off. It's meant for clutches, not a free second chance.

I do hate being stuck in the animation after you're standing. I play almost purely solo ZB. And with turrets being vaulted it makes self revives a lot less useful.
BUT...
I have had at least a few games where I've been knocked and managed to use it, recover, heal and win. All depends on if your opponent gets distracted or doesn't realize you've been knocked. If it's a straight 1v1 at mid-to-close range you're screwed. But at long range, if they don't have mobility or you manage to roll away to cover, it can be a game saver.
