From time to time, especially when a teammate dies in my immediate proximity, my soldier decides to equip his defibrilator without my say-so. Often, this results in death, as the offender - the one who killed my mate - is still around and shooting at me, while I'm trying to "shoot" him with a defibrilator in hand.

What kind of feature is this, and how do I turn it off?
Obviously, I can't revive a friend when I'm dying, and he wouldn't want to be revived just to die again either.

  • What system version are you playing? This sounds like a setting somewhere or a very particular glitch that I have yet to hear much of.

    I have the same problem, i use a defib, drop a medkit, and hit Triangle (weapon switch buton) and it pulls out my defib again instead of my weapon. very annoying, and likely a bug

  • Looking like a new glitch, must have been caused by the most recent patch. Did not find anything with a decent google search.

There is this feature that if you press the use key on a revivable body, you will switch to defib, to a basic revive, and switch back to your weapon again.

Maybe its that? I'm looking for a better source on this, so maybe it can be deactivated.

Reddit source

Edit:

From the Battlelog forum:

If you press the use button, which is also reload button, over a downed teammate it will defib them and then switch back to weapon

  • I was guessing it was something to do with this "feature" however I didn't realise it reload/use was the same on the PS4.

  • So I'll just have to avoid reloading over my fallen comrade. It's good to know how the feature works, so it doesn't get me killed :D

  • For the record, this does not work in PC mode. Tried with no luck.
