Self-Revive

After you died, you are lying on the ground. You can crawl around and have 90 seconds before you get auto-extracted.

You have two options to choose from:

• Self-Revive: This will reset your self-revive timer
• Extracting: This will cost you (usually) 180 scrip and you will get extracted to an extraction point

 

Extracting

If you happen to die while your self-revive isn't fully recharged yet, you only have the option to extract or get revived by other players around you.

You'll get fined:

• 180 Scrip if you have enough scrip to cover the costs
• When you're low on scrip, it'll cost you less to nothing at all

Extracting will teleport you to an extraction point. Usually, they are close to you. They are marked on the map like this.

Self-Revive Timer

Left of your HP, you can see your self-revive timer. Fully charged it's a bright white square with a person in it. This means, you can revive yourself.
