If you’re a dedicated Support player in Battlefield 6, you know the frustration: you want to unlock the cool Espada Support skins, but the challenge to get 30 Squad Revives in a single match of Squad Deathmatch (SDM) seems impossible.
Why is this challenge so broken? Because in SDM, teammates almost always choose to instantly respawn, and the match is over long before you can hit the 30-revive goal.
The ONLY Way to Get 30 Squad Revives in Squad DM
The good news? The community has found a clever (if a little sneaky) workaround. Until the developers patch this issue, here is the guaranteed method to complete this ridiculously tough challenge.
The Problem: Why 30 Revives in SDM is Impossible
The challenge is designed for game modes with longer match times and slower respawn mechanics, not the fast-paced, small-scale chaos of Squad Deathmatch.
- Instant Respawn: Teammates rarely wait for a revive because they can get back into the action almost instantly by skipping the bleed-out timer.
- Short Matches: SDM matches finish very quickly (usually after one squad hits 50 kills), not allowing enough time or enough total deaths for one player to rack up 30 revives.
The Workaround: How to “Cheese” the Revive Challenge
Since the normal way is nearly impossible, you’ll need to use a simple “self-harm” boosting method with a trusted friend.
What You’ll Need:
- A Buddy: You must team up with at least one friend who is willing to help you for a match.
- Your Class: You must play as the Support Class (with a Defibrillator/Revive Tool equipped).
- Your Buddy’s Class (The “Killer”): Your friend needs to play as a class with a quick self-damage tool.
- Recon with C4 (Fastest): C4 is the fastest way for them to kill themselves repeatedly.
- Engineer with Rockets or Anti-Tank Mines: This is an alternative if they don’t have C4 unlocked.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Form a Squad and Queue Up
Make sure you and your friend are in the same squad and queue for a Squad Deathmatch game.
2. Find a Quiet Corner
As soon as the match starts, find a safe, out-of-the-way spot on the map where you are unlikely to be discovered by enemy players. This is your “revive zone.”
3. Set Up the Suicide Station
- The Support Player (You): Throw down a Supply Pack or Ammo Box nearby. This will allow your friend to replenish their explosives.
- The Killer Player (Your Buddy): Equip their self-damage tool (C4 is best).
4. The Loop: Self-Destruct and Revive
Now, you will begin the process of rapidly killing and reviving your friend 30 times.
- Your Buddy: Places the C4/mine and immediately detonates it, killing themselves.
- You (Support): Immediately run up and perform the Squad Revive.
- CRITICAL STEP: Wait 5 Seconds! After the revive is complete, your friend MUST WAIT 5 SECONDS before killing themselves again. This delay ensures the game properly registers the revive and allows them to drop their explosives again.
5. Complete the Challenge
Repeat this “kill, wait 5 seconds, revive” loop until you see the challenge complete notification pop up. Because you are avoiding the main battle, the match should last long enough for you to get all 30 revives.
Congratulations! Get Your Support Skins
Once you complete the 30-revive challenge, the corresponding Support skin (or the next part of the skin assignment, like the Espada skins) will unlock!
We hope a future patch addresses this challenge to make it more achievable through normal gameplay. Until then, use this trick to get your well-earned cosmetics!
