Yeah, reviver hive gets destroyed before you revive. YUP, just like was the case in Division 1 with the med box, you go down, it gets destroyed before it goes off. That is why I aim to try to NOT die in the first place...having to rely on something that the AI will immediately target as soon you go down is not exactly a recipe for success...
There still some bugs on it, please watch the video below, after 4 successful attempts doing manual reviving ... the only time that I tried to do it using the Hive it fails.
Bug #36 - Reviving no One -> https://youtu.be/lyXkR99esVA

With addition of HC (Hardcore) mode to the game its more important than ever for the Revive Hive to work if you want HC mode to receive engagement. Twice now, once on PC and again on PS4 my HC char was instant killed by NPC's. Instant killed meaning my character never entered a down state. I don't know if by-passing the downed state is supposed to be allowed or not but if its not happening then the downed state is of such short duration that its imperceptible.
Both times I was behind cover and there were no heavies nearby to destroy the hive and yet the hive did not work. In one case it did drop but not one tick occurred before I was dead and in the second case I went straight to death by-passing any resemblance of a downed state. in both cases the enemy NPC's were at my level so it wasn't a case of being out-leveled by the enemy NPC's.
if HC Mode is to expect any level of support from players they need to know that revive hive is going to function and currently its too unreliable.
Still doesn't work properly, it's hit and miss whether it drops on yourself when getting downed.
We're 12 months on, and this POS still doesnt work properly. At this point I almost feel sorry for the dev team, it cant be easy being asked to do a job you're aren't capable of. Just remove it from the game if you can't get it to work inside 12 months.
It is not a guaranteed second life thing. There are circumstances that it won't autodeploy, and there are situations where it gets destroyed while reviving.Originally Posted by aaronf44 Go to original post
For example, one in my group yesterday was convinced it was bugged, and I was in agreement. Then I realized, we were in District Union on the segment in the room with the two jammers. Makes sense.
And there are also situations where it just simply doesn't work and stays sat on your back, no cool down, no jammers, no damage to it. It simply doesn't drop.Originally Posted by tcarlisle2012 Go to original post
3 times this morning...3!!. Twice yesterday.
Please sort it out. It's getting tedious now, it's bad enough when you can't get decent loot to drop, but when you get twatted by bullet sponge red's when there are 2 bloody rogue's sending everything at you and you just about manage to evade their skills only to be faced with 3 dudes with a plastic shield and bulletproof feet it's a bit on the harder than Legendary side.
Another thing with the Hive Reviver as well. Tbh I'm not sure if this was taken out with a patch but when the hive actually works and revives you, aren't you supposed to be invulnerable for a few seconds, unless of course you move. I always take damage, most of the time if ifs a mahoosive furball going on around me I end up just dying.
