I feel as though people with defibs shouldnt be able to steal an already in progress drag revive from another player, unless the other player is doing a squadmate revive where its slowed down a tad for squadmates, so in that case it helps. Unfortunately ive seen too many examples of a medic just stealing an in-progress revive, only to disrupt that and then revive where a player had just died or in the open, no barrier deployed, no smokes, etc... What benefit does that do? It just gives him another death and the enemy another kill. I see quite a few examples of this in every game. I dont even have the defibs equipped just out of preference to drag them to safety when possible. Not sure if anybody has had this thought or im too picky but yeah, now i sigh anytime i see a dude with the defib running towards me and the victim lmao for a milisecond i just know my time was wasted because medics seem to not have the patience to hold the defibs to where they'll apply 100% to the players health. Not sure if im alone in this stance but yeah, was curious if anybody runs into this as often as i do. Well thought out players using stuff to their advantage are memorable to me when im playing, but so are the hindrances.

You get the points for it regardless, and theres no stat to show off so what does it matter?

Nice! That’s actually pretty sweet!

I dont really care about the stats or points, its more so the practicality of just reviving someone with a little more awareness i guess. So the dude can actually recover again rather than respawn.

It's situational. If there's no threat and/or we have some cover I'll take my time. If we're in a meat grinder chokepoint I'm playing the numbers game. In the time it took you to revive 1 dude, I've revived 4. And those 4 guys are now deploying gadgets and shooting things.

Ah. Shit that changed my view a lil i guess. The situation is important. I guess my stance was more so for a "take my time" scenario.

I get what you’re saying but you’re probably more likely to get him revived with a defib then trying to start a drag if he’s in a bad spot.

You dragged him out of the way, the medic helped get him up faster (hopefully with full health).

You still get points/credit for the revive if a medic defibs your revive.

The only issue with someone defib-ing your drag revive would be if you were trying to drag them behind cover and your teammate defib-ed them in the open.

Otherwise your concerns are unwarranted.

If you have combat medic full health revive and someone quick taps them, they get full health and you both get revive credit and XP

Being downed doesn’t count as a death.
Only when you give up.

A medics job is to get the team back up and pushing the objectives. Most players are gonna bleed out before you can get to them to drag and pull. I'd rather have a random blueberry revive with defibs and smokes over a squad mate revive.

Oh shit yeah you right, i forgot. I guess i meant they'll finally die after a failed attempt.

Damn yeah, after reading some perspectives i guess now i get it can work both ways. I think all the experiences of a medic defibbing my drag before i could properly get him behind cover was just showing up more in my matches, and then they die. Shit ill just call this a rant but yeah.

Fa sho.

I hate getting fibbed while the guy that downed me is patiently waiting to pop my ass again.
