If you enjoy battle royale games, Apex Legends is a fantastic one released by Respawn Entertainment. It currently features 8 playable characters, called legends, and is on the top of the viewing list for twitch games streamed. The release of new battle royale games usually come with new mechanics or gameplay styles that have the same general feel but have their own unique way of expressing gameplay in their particular style. Apex Legends is no different.
Usually, if an ally is downed then subsequently executed their is no way to recover them and your squad will be down a man for the remainder of the match. Apex Legends has an added mechanic which allows squads to pick up their teammates “banner” and deliver them to the drop ship terminal. When a player is downed and subsequently executed they will leave a “banner” at the place of their death. The banner only lasts a short amount of time though so you must pick it up before the timer runs out. To pick it up walk over the banner and press the same button you press to pick up everything else. Be careful picking up the banner as it takes up your active item slot for a short time making it to where you can’t use weapons. Once you have the banner you will need to take it and use it on a dropship terminal. A dropship will then appear with your teammate. Note that once your teammate is respawned they will have no gear and will have to re-loot to get more. Also it is important to note that each dropship terminal can only be used once.
