# Reviving a Player

Learn how to enable and configure player reviving mechanics, including manual orb activation and auto-revive settings.

While modes like Attrition or Firefight: King of the Hill have native revival systems, any custom game mode can be configured with these mechanics. This replaces the standard respawn cycle with a system where dead players drop Revive Orbs for teammates to activate.

## Enabling Reviving

To enable the reviving mechanic and override standard respawning functionality, navigate to `Health & Damage → Team Revive` in the settings of the desired game mode and apply a value other than "None".

Enabling this functionality adds an additional win condition: if all players on one team are dead and can no longer be revived, the round will end.

### Auto-revive

Auto-revive allows players to be automatically revived after they have been dead for a specific duration. This is enabled by navigating to `Health & Damage → Auto-Revive` in the game mode settings.

* The duration before an automatic respawn can be adjusted using the `Auto-Revive Timer`.
* Players who are automatically revived will spawn on a [Respawn Point](/forge/spawning/respawning/respawn-points.md) rather than at the location of their Revive Orb.

## Respawning and Map Requirements

When manual reviving is enabled, players who die drop a **Revive Orb**. A teammate can activate this orb to respawn the player at the position where the orb was dropped.

{% hint style="info" %}
Maps intended for game modes using Revive Orbs should include enough [Respawn Points](/forge/spawning/respawning/respawn-points.md) to match the maximum intended player count. This is because if multiple players trigger an auto-revive at once (such as when progress in Firefight: King of the Hill triggers a set change), they may attempt to fill multiple respawn points simultaneously.
{% endhint %}
