Edit for the people who don't understand I'm against resurrect completely this is IF we have to have one, the same way we were against "gulag" and self res but we got it anyway.
Since we see a lot of people asking for resurrect mechanic in pubg let's talk if it should be added, how it should be added and how it shouldn't be added.
Why should it be added?
There is obviously a decent demand for pubg to have a resurrect mechanic, and it would provide a new feature, something interesting and fun.
How not to do it
Adding resurrect mechanic that resembles to SP, apex etc would HEVILY impact gameplay and gameflow in a NEGATIVE way and here is how:
Suicide plays with "no punishment" c4 the car and drive into enemies, pull the pin in a grenade and push the enemy, use your life as bait
Playing extremely split, we can see that example in warzone where players can play hundreds of meters apart to ensure different angles with "no risk" cause as long as your play results with 1 teammate alive you get to respawn the rest of your team.
Heavily reduce dbno(knock) importance and the pressure it creates
Encourage camping when you loose teammates, why would you fight 1v2-3-4 if you can wait for them to leave to pick up your teammates and on the other hand force you to deal with people doing that.
hotdrops, if you remove the possibility of losing one or more of your teammates after going hotdrop and them having to spectate you loose the punishment factor, and we have 80% of lobby going hotdrop.
Making long range fights 300m+ fights kinda pointless
And many other things, the res basically becomes a utility to play on, and not a save feature.
How to implement it imo:
The resurrect has to be difficult/costly to do a couple of ideas
After a win you get a "chicken dinner" or some token/ coin that you can use 1 time to resurrect your teammate, that should kill 2 birds with 1 stone, you make it more special and entice people to focus more on winning games and the resurrection is a feature to "save" those extra special games where you guys did something amazing/cool or simply to increase your win chance.
Another is AFTER your teammate falls you have to get 3-5 kills in a short period of time to get that res, that way its costly doesn't enforce camping, forces you to fight so you don't leave the game.
That way the save feature remains a save feature and not a cheesy way to make silly plays and won't affect the gameplay and gameflow too much, you still keep the focus on winning and fighting.
Sorry for the long boi
