Warzone 2 players frustrated over \u201cconfusing\u201d Revive Pistol self-rez mechanic ActivisionWarzone 2\u2019s Revive Pistol has a secondary self-rez mechanic and some players are questioning if the \u201cconfusing\u201d mechanic is working as intended. The Revive Pistol is one of Warzone 2\u2019s biggest innovations from its predecessor. The new Field Upgrade allows players to revive their friends from a distance, which can completely alter the course of a fight against an unaware team. It also allows the holder to forsake any long-distance charges to use the gun like a Self Revive kit and bring themselves back into the fray after getting knocked down. This feature has a major drawback though and players are calling for Raven Software to make it clear whether it\u2019s an intended flaw or if it\u2019s just a part of the game that\u2019s been overlooked. Warzone 2 players frustrated over Revive Pistol teamwipe \u2018bug\u2019 The big difference between the pistol and a normal Self Revive kit is that the Field Upgrade requires at least one member of the team to stay on their feet in order for it to work. While all of a player\u2019s teammates can be eliminated without interrupting the kit\u2019s effectiveness, a team wipe will interrupt any attempt at a rez from the RP. That leads to situations like the one embedded below where a player that\u2019s attempting to revive themself is left to scratch their head when their last teammate hits the ground and they\u2019re sent to the Gulag or back to the lobby. One commenter detailed the situation perfectly, explaining that the two items operate very differently from each other, but there are still some fans who are convinced that the interruption is the result of a bug and not an intended mechanic. As the player from the video later said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem to count the pistol as an actual self-revive which would keep you alive in situations like this.\u201d This will no doubt be the source of a lot of frustration for anyone who\u2019s not in the loop, but the Revive Pistol seems to be functioning as the devs want it to for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
