For some reason though, the state of that body in the picture would not let us revive him. I took the screenie after the first attempt before trying two more times. After my attempts, another in the squad also attempted to revive with no success. All the time, our fallen comrade was asking what was taking so long.

What many people do not know is that a dead body has up to -200 HP. Once that limit is reached you will get the "Killed" status even if you were reviveable before.

But since this isn´t a bloody serial killer game there is no way to intentionally "gib" a body with normal firearms and knifes wolfenstein style.

Only weapons that are capeable of this are heavy weapons like the walker gun, APC mortar and the artillery. Even Grenades and RDX has no damage indicator vs reviveable bodies.


Also "instagib" weapons like the Pilum have a damage rating. Pilum does 400 damage and thus will gib a body as you can only stay reviveable for 300 Health.

The logic comes back into this when you think about the Friendly Fire option a ranked server can have. It cannot only be ON or OFF but can also be a %. Some Servers run at 50% FF for example - this shooting a friendly with a Pilum would only result in 200HP taken and him still being reviveable.
