Clever Apex Legends trick keeps you alive longer when you\u2019re downed Respawn EntertainmentGetting downed in Apex Legends has a stacking effect against a player\u2019s \u2018bleed out\u2019 timer that makes it harder to survive in the later stages of the game \u2013 luckily, there\u2019s a way to reset it. After being knocked a few times, people might notice that the game isn\u2019t as forgiving with the bleed out meter. The first couple of times a player needs a revive, teammates can casually stroll to pick their ally up, maybe even take their time if need be. That doesn\u2019t necessarily happen after the third and fourth time where the countdown starts diminishing at a rapid pace, forcing teams to choose between finishing the current fight or picking up their squadmate before it\u2019s too late. But user \u2018iFragFamilys\u2019 found a simple way of resetting that timer. Like most tricks in Apex, this one is severely situational, but it\u2019s an easy way to forgive early-game mistakes if they resulted in being downed. \u201cIf you have the opportunity, reset your timer by suiciding and having a squadmate revive you,\u201d iFragFamilys said. \u201cIt takes 30 seconds to fully revive someone.\u201d They noted how the downed timer starts at 60 seconds. In a battle royale where action can happen at break-neck speeds, this is a good cushion of time to prioritize the enemy and not have to worry about reviving your friend. But every down after cuts that time in half. This will gradually make the cooldown reduce to 30 seconds, 15 seconds, and eventually down to only five. Navigating between two opponents and having a teammate with only five seconds to be revived critically limits your options in a fight. This method is obviously more applicable towards those who aren\u2019t exactly top-tier, since higher level players don\u2019t usually get knocked enough for the cooldown timer to have that significant of a reduction. That said, if you find yourself in a situation where you\u2019ve been downed a couple of times early on, it\u2019s just better to finish yourself off in-game and get brought back because, as the Redditor explains, it can get to the point where the latter takes less time than just constantly getting picked back up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
