I noticed the HIVE revive for me only seems to be working if i don't move at all at the moment i die.
If I AM moving, when, you know, trying to dodge bullets, the HIVE drops, i'm little distance away from it...it makes its cool poof poof sounds...and i still die. Is this how it's supposed to work?
No. They’ve been patching bugs for it. You used to get stuck in place if you were ensnared and it activated. Had to restart whole game.
I believe the way it’s ‘supposed’ to work is you drop on death and then you can still move in your ‘downed state’ and like get behind something while it’s pumping you up or whatever. However it seems that something about this reanimating prevents you from moving at all.
Like if I throw it to another person they can crawl into its light and be born again.
It seems to me as though sometimes the ‘you’re dead’ screen procs too fast... because you the solo player are dead... and if you’re moving around the hive isn’t bringing you back to life... and those extra .7 seconds are just long enough for the game to go ‘yeah he’s ****ed’ and give you the respawn screen.
It happens to me a lot. Every now and then I can crawl for a sec and get into cover. Sometimes it just makes the noise and I die and it asks if I want to respawn and then I’m just standing where I was... fully healed.
Whatever. That thing is the best. Even got it to work in DZ but you gotta time it quick lol
