Medic reviving

[TuscanSun]

It seems that I simply dont know what I am doing when it comes to consistently reviving incapped players. I will try several times trying to revive a player when another medic comes up and does it on the first try. What gives? TIA

Re: Medic reviving

Honestly, I can't help you. I've had that happen a couple of times as well. All I can suggest is crouch down to revive them. It works more consistantly than diving or standing.

IMHO anyway.

Crouching as said.
Another tip that works for me is to give little bit o' space from fallen soldier. If you are too close not as likely get him up + running again.

Also - best tend aim paddles for their chest or head.

Hope that helps. Cheers.

Re: Medic reviving

I've had problem with this and it has been discussed. A black cross means the player is dead and forget about them. The white cross means the player is critically injured. Just make sure you give time for the shock pads to charge and I also ways try to touch their chest. I've had better chances latley and it makes being a medic fun again. Sometimes it took me twice to revive a guy.

Re: Medic reviving

Thanks for the info guys. I did look into this and other forums for this answer but since I am a newer player and this is more than likely a very old question I could not find the topic.

Oof - posted faster than I thought.
Was thinking other person meant go prone.

Dem standing + crouching medics make such sweet easy targets. :)

Re: Medic reviving

Yeah the pkm guys dont shoot the medics. They go for the revive then kill em again and then the medic.

Only the slow ones. For reviving people in the line of fire, I like to 'swoop' (ie: always moving, even while using the paddles) in on the victim from cover, making it hard to kill me (doing this I've only been killed by Granades/Tank shells) then immediently switching my first aid bag just incase the PKM nub gets a lucky shot in
