How to Revive in For Honor

For Honor How to Revive

When a member of your team dies in For Honor, you will sometimes have the ability to revive them. You can revive a fallen teammate if they were killed without an execution. However, if your teammate was executed they will have a red skull icon over their body and there’s no way to bring them back to life, and they’ll have a slightly longer respawn timer. This is why executing an opponent is important because it limits the other team’s options.

If your teammate has not been executed, you have a limited time in which you can revive them. Simply head over to the fallen teammate, stand over their body and hold the button icon represented over their dead body. By default, the revive button is Circle on the PlayStation 4 and B on the Xbox One, so all you have to do is stand over the body of your fallen ally and hold Circle or B to revive them.

Certain armor will increase the speed at which you can revive a teammate. Some gear will even let you revive in one second or less, making it very useful in multiplayer matches. Once you reach level 21 with a character, you should have an armor set that allows for fast revives so you can easily switch to it before a match.
