Lifeline rework in Apex Legends: What we know so far

Respawn Entertainment is rumoured to be working on a Lifeline rework in Apex Legends. Code-named Lifeline Revived, the community has anticipated this rework for a long time and it seems the developers have lent their ears to the player base. They are trying to fulfil Lifeline’s role as a Combat Medic and the recent changes to her kit during the Shadow Society Event are the first steps towards this endeavor.

The news was first leaked six months ago by a play tester @TruthSerum26, who confirmed this new set of abilities for Lifeline. Although these new abilities are subject to change before release, this article will run you through everything we know about the upcoming Lifeline rework in Apex Legends.

As per the latest leaks, here is a list of all of Lifeline’s abilities in Apex Legends:

Passive: Combat Revive

Deploys D.O.C to revive teammates, leaving lifeline free to defend.

The passive for lifeline remains unchanged and still stands as a strong ability among support class legends in Apex Legends. Even though there’s no revive shield like the good old days, the following new tactical and ultimate makes up for the lack of a revive shield.

Tactical: Mobile D.O.C Drone

The Drone Of Compassion (DOC) attaches to your teammates and heals them on the go.

Upon deployment, the drone might attach itself to Lifeline or her teammates following them around and healing them on the move. This can be a critical ability that keeps you alive while trying to fall behind cover after taking damage.

Also, her new perk Tactical Cooldown++, allows her to always have her drone at hand. With this ability, she can indefinitely have her drone following her around and healing her throughout the game.

Overcharge D.O.C. to push back nearby enemies and
