Quick answer

Assign cover, use smoke to obscure sight and heal after the revive; distinguish a knock from a recall.

When a teammate goes down, first identify where the shots came from and decide who covers and who revives. Running straight into open ground can produce two knocked players. This covers reviving a knocked duo or squad teammate, not recalling an eliminated player; recall availability depends on the mode and match rules.

A four-person rescue sequence

  1. The knocked player calls their position and enemy direction. If movement is possible, crawl behind a wall, rock or low terrain rather than staying in the line of fire. Tell the squad immediately if an enemy is pushing.
  2. One watches the angle, one prepares the revive. The cover player watches the known threat; the reviver identifies hard cover they can reach. Others watch flanks or support rather than crowding the same corner.
  3. Smoke if needed. Place smoke between the enemy's line of sight and the rescue position, and wait for the cloud before approaching. Smoke hides vision but does not stop bullets; use walls, rocks or terrain too, and watch for flanks and throwables.
  4. Reach the teammate and hold the on-screen revive interaction until the progress completes. The reviver is temporarily vulnerable. If an enemy is already close or the spot is still exposed to direct fire, address the threat or move to safer cover first. Use the match's displayed time and progress rather than assuming a fixed number of seconds.
  5. Reset immediately afterward. Official support says revived players return with very little health. Let them heal behind cover while the cover player keeps watching, then agree whether to withdraw or fight.

What if the rescue is not safe?

If there is no hard cover, enemies are close or the zone is arriving, call out the risk and look for a way to create an opening or withdraw. One smoke does not guarantee a successful revive. Once a teammate is eliminated, check whether this match offers recall and its conditions; a knock revive does not imply a guaranteed post-elimination return.
