Revivification
Revivification is the process of turning the dead body of a zombie or vampire into a recovering human. Revivifcation cannot be attempted on standing zombies or vampires, they first must be killed.
To perform a revive, the character must be a human with the Lab Studies skill and hold an Injector in their inventory, loaded with Revival Serum.
Injectors and Revival Serums are usually found in Helix buildings, or more rarely in Blood Drives. Revival Serums can also be crafted in lit Helix buildings by using a DNA Sequencer.
Revivification by NPCs
Helix Researcher NPCs, which spawn around Helix buildings, will revive any dead player character bodies they share a square with. A common player tactic to force a revive is to get purposefully killed on the same square as a Helix Researcher, such as by attacking them with a joke weapon to be counter-attacked. (Joke weapons have high accuracy and don't deal any damage, so there is no risk of accidentally killing the NPC.)
The Deranged Surgeon shares the same ability, but is much rarer to find.
Defense against Revivification
Vampires and zombies can resist being revived if they have the Cursed Blood skill in the case of vampires, or the Cellular Degeneration skill in the case of zombies. It costs 15 AP instead of 10 AP to stand up again. A character with 10-14 AP will be shown the option to stand up as a human again, but not as a vampire or zombie. For that button to become available, the player has to wait until they have at least 15 AP.
Revivification Organization
There are active public revive points at the following places:
- Redemption Parking, Elgin - mostly serviced by Critical Care Crusaders
- Angus Road, Mulston, 529,517 - helped along by the Burchell Arms Regulars
- Grime City Zoo Wolf Pen at 525,506 in Glimmer Fields - courtesy of The Zookeepers
Some players pro-actively organize revives through the in-game Radio, #human-chat on the All Out Hell Discord, or through their human group's metagame channels (if they are in a group).
