Squads: knocked, revive and recall ​

  • At 0 health while a teammate is still standing you are knocked: you crawl and slowly bleed out (the first knock lasts longest, the next ones are shorter).
  • A teammate holds F for 6 seconds on you to revive you.
  • If nobody in your squad is standing, knocked players are out.
  • Recall: a dead teammate drops a Recall Card. Take it to one of the 4 recall towers on the map and hold F for 8 seconds. Your teammate comes back by parachute into the zone with basic gear. Recall works until phase 4.

Knocked

Solo: second life ​

In Solo, if you die before phase 3, you come back once by parachute. After that, death is final.

Your teammates have coloured markers above their heads (name and health) and on the map. The colour matches their slot in the squad panel.
