Clever Fortnite Player Revives Themselves

Highlights

In Fortnite, teammates have the opportunity to revive knocked players, preventing them from being eliminated if they are playing duos, trios, or squads.
Players have a limited amount of time to revive their teammates before they are permanently eliminated from the game.
In a recent Reddit clip, a player was able to cleverly revive themselves by using a Mending Machine and hiring an NPC, showcasing their quick thinking and saving themselves from elimination.

A Fortnite player was able to get back on their feet by themselves after being knocked down and nearly reaching zero health. In Fortnite‘s battle royale game mode, 100 players land on the same island, and only one player or one team will be able to make it out alive. In solo matches, players are instantly eliminated if their health reaches zero. However, if they’re playing duos, trios, or squads, they will be knocked down, and their teammates will have the opportunity to revive them.

Players only have a limited amount of time to revive their teammates in Fortnite before they are taken out of the game for good. Once someone has been knocked, their health will decrease by 2 HP per tick. This will come to a halt if a teammate approaches them and starts the revival process. So, if they aren’t able to help in time, they will be eliminated about 50 ticks in and won’t be able to return to the match unless one of their teammates reboots them.

Fortnite Unvaults OG Mobility Item

Epic Games unexpectedly brings back a classic mobility item that many players will most likely recognize from Chapter 1 or Season OG.

A member of the Fortnite community has shared an impressive clip on the game’s subreddit, in which they defy all odds and are able to be revived without any help from their teammate. Reddit user imalonexc was downed, and since their teammate wasn’t able to help them in time, they had to find a way to help themselves. Even though they were about to reach 0 HP, they were able to get to a Mending Machine, and purchase two Patch Up services. Then, they hired the Mecha Team Shadow NPC at Riviera Station, which then proceeded to revive them.

Many fans praised imalonexc for their cleverness, as their quick thinking was what was able to save them. However, more factors came into play here, because not only was this player extremely lucky since they had an NPC and a Mending Machine nearby, but also because the NPC was smart enough to revive them. Unfortunately, many of the characters gamers can hire in Fortnite tend to glitch quite often and will simply ignore a downed teammate instead of trying to help them get back up.

When Chapter 5 Season 1 started, quite a few NPCs caused problems, so Epic Games had to turn off the option to hire them. Thankfully, the latest Fortnite update fixed this issue, and gamers can now hire all sorts of characters and specialists to aid them during a match.
