Handler is just broken right now. Prime perk fails.

[Airmid]

The prime perk of the Handler archetype is flat-out broken right now in pre-release. By design the dog companion is supposed to be able to revive you or co-op team members. But when in solo mode, it just doesn't work at all. The dog can't revive the player because the Game Over screen immediately appears.

Uh. Are you out of relic charges? The dog uses your charges. It has worked flawlessly for me so far as long as I don't run out, and it's not on a cool down from being used already. Otherwise it does go straight to "you died" for me

I was having this issue until I realized Prime Perk only applies from your first class. I started as medic so the secondary Handler revive Prime Perk wasnt applying. Try swapping main and subclass to see if it resolves your issue.

Have experienced this as well, in solo and co-op, with relic charges available. Instant "you are dead." Definitely a bug that needs to be addressed, and far from the only but not trying to threadjack.

It has a cooldown. I've only had it fail when I just went down recently, so it seems to be working fine to me.

It uses a relic charge of whomever it's trying to revive.

I've been running Handler exclusively for my first playthrough, and the dog revive has worked each time its meant to on my end. Some attacks instantly kill you regardless, like getting crushed or falling into the void.

If the dog is downed, it will send to straight to game over as well.

It's supposed to. So that's 100% a bug.

The dog revive:

1. The dog will not revive you or a teammate in coop unless you have at least 1 relic charge. (Not talking whether it uses it or not, its jsut having 1 relic charge is required)

2. The dog will not automatically revive your team mate in coop, you have to command him to do so.

3. The revive has a cooldown. You cannot be revived/ revive teammates back to back.

4. The dog revive only works if Handler is your primary archetype.

Played solo and coop and have not had any issues with the revive.,

[Xerkics]

Dog can’t heal instant death effects .

[Jammin]

Did you have the Handler as your main archetype?
The dog wont revive if he's your second archetype.

This isn't entirely correct. My wife's dog has revived me on multiple occasions when it couldn't revive her (no charges on her relic). She didn't command it to. Its a good dog.
