Apex Legends is the new hotness as far as battle royales go and shows no signs of slowing down. While you've probably got some friends playing with you, sometimes they're not quite as reliable as you need them to be. So, when you get knocked down, and they're on the other side of the map shooting at the wall, what should you do? Here's how to revive yourself in Apex Legends:

How to Revive Yourself in Apex Legends

As you venture through the battleground, you'll find a menagerie of items for you to pick up and use in combat. The item you're looking for the revive yourself with is called the Knockdown Shield. While each rarity of Shields has their uses, it's the Legendary one you're looking for. Legenday Knockdown Shields are the only ones to come with the Ressurection perk. Ressurection can be used while downed anywhere on the map and will take about as much time as the traditional teammate revive to perform. 

It's worth noting that you can only use Resurrection once. If you get knocked down again, you're donezo. The same thing applies if you're the last remaining member of your fireteam, regardless of whether or not you've used the perk you fought so hard for. 

How Do I Find a Legendary Knockdown Shield? 

The short answer is that it's a random occurence, but there are places you'll find Legendary items more often than not. The Hot Zone and the Supply Ship are your best bets to find Legendary loot, as well as in care packages. These areas will no doubt be the target of many players, especially early-game, so it's important to get in and get out with whatever you can get. Hopefully one of the items you come across is a Legendary Knockdown Shield for in case things go wrong. 

Selecting a strong character can be helpful in getting your hands on Legendary loot, but which of the many characters is the very best? Check out our Apex Legends tier list and ride one of the S tier characters to the top!
