Battlefield V[]

Buddy Revive is a new ability for squad introduced in Battlefield V, allowing players to revive fellow squad members from a downed state. As with Medic revives, the recipient of a Buddy Revive will be restored to full health.

BFV Buddy Revive

In comparison to the almost immediate Syringe revive performed by the Medic class, Buddy Revives take several seconds to perform, leaving players highly vulnerable. The revive can be cancelled at any time using other keypresses, allowing the reviver to respond to developing threats, but meaning the process will have to be started again from scratch when trying to revive the player afterwards.

One significant benefit of performing a Buddy Revive is that the player's weapon is automatically reloaded, allowing a full response after completing the revive. (The downed squadmate's weapons maintain their current load, and may still need reloading.) Medics do not get this bonus for their own revives.[1]

Squad Revive reappears in Battlefield 2042.

Medic-class characters will carry a defibrillator gadget to revive teammates. When equipping this gadget, players can charge them to determine how quick downed teammates will get back up and how much health they will have after doing so.

When reviving squadmates as other classes, the character will use a Med-Pen (like the one used by the Assault class) and revive the squadmate. If used by the Assault class, this action will not expend any Med-Pens in the inventory.
