In Battlefield 6, reviving teammates is a core mechanic accessible to all classes, but the Support class excels at it. Players can either:

• Drag and revive manually (available to all classes)
• Use the Support-exclusive Defibrillator for instant revives

Mastering both methods increases squad survivability and denies enemy kills.

Revive Mechanics Explained

When health reaches zero, players enter a downed state, where they can:

• Call for help to prolong their bleed-out timer
• Choose to respawn immediately

Note: Downed players cannot take additional damage.

Manual Drag-and-Revive

Approach a downed teammate and:

1. Hold the revive button (default F)
2. Drag them to safety while reviving

Key advantage: The Support class completes this process faster due to their unique trait and area-of-effect revive speed boost.

Support’s Defibrillator

This class-specific gadget allows:

• Unlimited revives
• 1-second charge time for instant revival
• Full mobility while preparing charges

Ideal for high-risk combat situations requiring rapid recovery.

Advanced Revive Tactics

• Environmental awareness: Clear threats before reviving

• Dragging priority: Reposition teammates from danger zones first

• Support positioning: Stay frontline for revive chains

• Recon counter: Sniper Training perk enables instant kills via headshots, bypassing revive states
