How do you break off reviving as non medic so you don’t get killed most times? ---

If I remember correctly you have to let go of square ( Or was it double tap it?) , usually when I’m reviving a squadmate this way it will stop since I like to hold circle since it seems to take a bit longer for non medics, however I think it if you’re like more than halfway through it won’t stop since that would basically cause a critical injury death, which happens if you kill someone while they are reviving a guy ---

Just press square again. ---

> [@mollyfrank1](#): > > How do you break off reviving as non medic so you don’t get killed most times? Only have to tap square to start revive (not hold). Tap it again to quit the revive. IMHO it would be more intuitive to hold square to revive and releasing would quit the revive, but that’s not how the mechanism works. ---

Change the weapon pick up key and revive key… picking up the gun instead of reviving keeps me from reviving people… who thought this one up? ---

Sometimes that stops the revive… Been easier if they’d have just used a different button ---

> [@whiteboyRikk](#): > > Sometimes that stops the revive… > Been easier if they’d have just used a different button Only if you press it twice. Just pressing the button once rather than holding it will avoid swapping weapons or cancelling the revive, as those only occur if the button is held or is pressed again during the revive.
