Battlefield 6 is introducing many new players to the shooter series. The community therefore feels that some of the basics of medic gameplay need to be explained.
Good things take time – This applies not only in real life, but also when you’re playing Battlefield 6 as a medic or supporter. After all, what good are you to your team if you recklessly run into enemy fire for a supposedly heroic revival and end up causing even more damage?
Find out what we mean by this and how to use the defibrillator correctly in the following guide.
Imagine you’re lying on the ground bleeding to death after a heated battle for a flag point, hoping to be rescued by a nearby medic. After a nervous glance at your team’s ticket count, you realize that a medic is actually approaching and pulling out the defibrillator – Bzzzt
– and then you’re back on your feet.
However, you only have a grand total of 20 health points in the middle of a hail of bullets, so the next grazing shot blows you right back out of your shoes – frustrating.
Since the launch of Battlefield 6, the correct use of the defibrillator has once again become a topic of discussion in the community, as illustrated by the following Reddit thread, among others. The problem: A quick, uncharged defibrillator shock is often a death sentence all over again. All too often, you end up back in the dirt. However, many newcomers are often unaware of this problem.
The trick with the long Biiiip
For all newly minted Battlefield recruits: Hold down the fire button on your defibrillator for a few seconds before shocking. You will hear a rising charging sound.
The longer you charge, the more health points your revived comrade will have. A fully charged shock brings a fallen soldier back into battle with a full 100 HP.
Not only does this give them a realistic chance of surviving the next few seconds, but it also earns you a lot of points – up to 160 for a single action!
Helpful: Once the defibrillator has beeped, you can use it to perform three full
revivals in a row, bringing your teammates back to the battlefield with 100 percent health.
However, the charge does not last forever, and you can only use it to revive comrades in your immediate vicinity. This is a particularly efficient way to help your team.
The EA deal: Background on the new owners
In September 2025, it was announced that EA would be privatized and transferred to an investor consortium for around 47 billion euros. The new owners of EA include the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund PIF and Affinity Partners, Jared Kushner’s investment firm. Saudi Arabia is accused of political and human rights abuses, such as the persecution of activists and journalists. There is also deep-rooted discrimination against minorities. Freedom of expression is structurally suppressed. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has repeatedly come under fire for dubious real estate deals, secret contacts with the Russian government, and allegations of corruption. Kushner also maintains close contact with Saudi Crown Prince and PIF Chairman Mohammed bin Salman. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if your entire squad is down and you are about to be overrun, a quick revive series may be the better choice. But in most situations, the charged shock is the only right decision—especially if the fallen are in an unfavorable position within enemy lines of sight. So, dear medics, take that extra second. Your comrades (and your score) will thank you.
