One detail that makesApex Legendsstand out in the battle royale genre is the ability to revive teammates after death. While this feature is limited by the ability of the player to pick up the teammate’s banner in time, there is also a way for players to self-revive prior to death. And consideringthe incredible growth ofApex, many will likely want to know how.
In order to gain the self-revive ability, players will need to find a legendary Knockdown Shield. This is by no means a simple task inApex Legends, but it is worth mentioning that supply drops are known to carry gold tier (Legendary) items. It is also possible for a Legendary knockdown shield to spawn with Lifeline’s care package, though it is far less likely. Another way to find legendary items is to check around hot zones andhigh-tier loot spawns, which are varied across the map.
As players may note (as seen in the image below), theApex Legendsitem carries a special ability, as do all legendary items. The legendary Knockdown Shield comes with the Resurrection ability, which as the name suggests, allows players to get up when down. It takes the same amount of time to self-revive as it does for a teammate to revive, so players will want to be wary of any nearby enemies when doing so.
Under the right circumstances, this special ability can be the difference between victory and loss, as the fighting grows more and more intense during the final circles of the ring. During these final firefights,Apex Legendsplayers are less likely to finish a player off because it throws off the ability to keep up with any remaining squads.
It may only be a week old, butApex Legendsis off to a powerful start, with many wondering where the title intends to go from here. Thankfully, developer Respawn Entertainment has previously revealed a roadmap showcasing season one of the game kick-starting in March andplans for this to be a ten-year game.
Apex Legendsis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
