By default, Apex Legends is a team game. Whether you like it or not, you will have to have a team if you play the game. However, you are able to go off on your own if you want, of course. The problem with this is that if you’re down, you’re typically down. This has some players wondering about if there is an Apex Legends self revive feature.
Basically, can a player revive themselves if they are downed by an enemy? Normally, you have to have a teammate come revive you or wait for them to take your banner to a respawn point. But is there a way for a solo player by themselves to do an Apex Legends self revive? We are going to answer that question right here.
Is There an Apex Legends Self Revive?
Let’s go ahead and start with the answer to this question. Yes, you can actually revive yourself in Apex Legends. The thing is, though, the game doesn’t let you know this. However, there is only one way to do it and it’s going to take a bit of luck, to be honest. To do so, you need to have a Legendary knockdown shield equipped.
Each Legendary item in the game comes with a nice perk. The perk for the knockdown shield is the ability to revive yourself once. However, there are some caveats with this. For one, we’ve played more than 30 matches and haven’t found one of these shields. You can only find them typically in supply drops and sometimes using Lifeline’s Ultimate.
Also, you can’t be outright dead but most only be down in order to use the Apex Legends self revive. This can be useful as we recently saw a teammate do this while we revived the other downed teammate. This made a massive difference as we were then able to recover and go on to win the whole match.
