Ballistic Knife long-distance revive.

[83457]

Supposedly (read here, not tried yet by me) the upgraded ballistic knife in Tranzit could revive friends across the map (far away, not nearby) by aiming it in their direction, reticule turns blue, fire...revived.

First, is it true?

And the reason it is here: does it work like this in Die Rise?

Thank you.

Edit: fixed typo. Was I trolled?

there were plenty of cool long distance revive vids for the krauss back on BO1, on ascension specifically i remember some cool ones. but yeah basically if the knife can reach the downed guy he'll revive

Maybe it's only for tranzit since the fog was added. Die Rise only has fog all the way down. Plus there are wall's. Maybe that's why who's who was added.

But hey I usually never get them. I not sure why but oh well, such is life.

It might be possible. From certain spots you can see the Tower, like Diner.

You would have to be incredibly lucky though to get a revive from a far distance. With the fog, it's hard determining where exactly the person fell. So the person has to fall at the right spot, the reviver has to be standing at the right spot, and you have to aim at the right angle and spot.

Three critical factors that have to be perfect. But I do see them working.

I have personally revived someone who went down in Town, while I was on top of the Bus and starting to cross the bridge.

As for Die Rise it is most definitely useful, but as far as long distance goes it is more of a "down multiple stories" type of long distance, rather than a "across the map" type. There have been multiple times I wished I had it on Die Rise when people go down across a gap that I can't get too quickly. I am forced to watch them bleed out and left feeling like crap because of it. Krauss Refribulator is a must for any map.

can you revive through walls though or am I stupid?

You can't revive through walls, the Ballistic Knife has to fly and hit a downed player.

RelaxingEnd had 2 across the map revives on his YouTube channel. The first was staged to see if he could do it, and the second was like through a bus window into the fog that found it's mark.

Here are some I just found:

Those revives have to be hard to get. I saw some on people that got first blood with a tamohawk kill from across the map when they first started the map.

What was implied is that you did not need to actually shoot them, just look in their direction from obviously way too far away, and it would revive them if the reticule turned blue (you had to fire it, but didn't need to be anywhere near them).

So either nobody reading this is sure of that or I was trolled.

I haven't used them often and haven't had them recently.

well I can't check because my xbox won't let me play any disks in the disk drive. I'm still pretty pissed about that...and sad...

[LiamFTWinter]

You still have to hit them directly with the Ballistic Knife if that's what you mean.

Ouch. Mine has always had random bad days, but I think it is starting to fry from too many years of marathon gaming.

The drawer likes to not open if I play dvds, like the drive mech gets in the way.

Yes, that is what I mean.

The story wasn't 'epic across map, up in the air' revive, but point it at them even though they are a mile away and can't be seen, the reticule turns blue when aimed properly, fire, profit.

Someone backed it up, so either we are uninformed or troll food. Are these troll teethmarks on my arm?

I used the pack a punched ballistic knife for a while in a game and I was missing people a lot, never did they get up, you still have to directly hit them with the blade.

[zombieman9]

I know how you feel about that, Liam. I always missed when I was trying to revive using the PaP'd ballistics.

The original post was in Tranzit on codz here: 'crosshair turns to blue on players?' I don't know how to link...

Go to the topic and right click the URL. click "copy" and go to this topic, reply to the thread, click "URL"

So it should look like this:

Right click in between and click "paste".

That's how I do it.

Thank you.
