RevivalMod adds a practical second-chance system to Escape from Tarkov, giving you an opportunity to recover from what would normally be a raid-ending injury. In its early development stages, this mod introduces a critical state system that activates when you would typically die, offering you a moment to potentially turn your fate around.
The core of RevivalMod is built around balanced gameplay that rewards preparation. When fatally wounded, you'll enter a vulnerable critical state where AI enemies have difficulty detecting you, but your movement is significantly restricted. If you've planned ahead and brought a defibrillator, pressing F5 will initiate revival, granting you partial health recovery and a brief period of invulnerability.
To maintain game balance, RevivalMod includes several thoughtful limitations:
- A 3-minute cooldown between revival attempts
- Severe movement restrictions during critical state
- Modest healing upon revival (just enough to continue)
- Recovery limitations including forced crouch position and firing restrictions
The mod integrates smoothly with the game's economy, making defibrillators available through Therapist with pricing you can adjust in the configuration.
Though still in development, RevivalMod features helpful visual cues for critical and invulnerable states, clear notifications, and customizable settings to fit your preferred gameplay style.
How to Use
Getting Started:
- Install the Mod - Drop the folders in the ZIP into your SPT mods directory and restart your server and launcher
- Acquire Your Lifeline - Purchase a defibrillator from Therapist (automatically added to her inventory). This is adaptable in the config file located at user/mods/revival-mod/config.json
- Enter the Raid - Make sure the defibrillator is in your inventory before deploying
When Disaster Strikes:
- Critical State Activation - Instead of instant death, you'll enter a critical state
- Revival Process - Press F5 to use your defibrillator while in critical state
- Recovery Phase - After revival, you'll experience temporary invulnerability but with movement and combat restrictions
- Back in Action - Once the recovery period ends, you're fully back in the fight—but be careful, as you'll need to wait for the cooldown to use the system again
Pro Tips:
- Use your critical state wisely—enemies may not see you, giving you a chance to position strategically
- The post-revival invulnerability period is perfect for reaching cover or extracting if badly wounded
