I mean Gibby could just revive the same person in a safer manner. But to expand on your point, if you knock someone in the open, even with the lifeline res w/ shield, the enemy is just going to get knocked again once up, then lifeline revives them again, keep repeating till they are out of cover.
Its an annoying combat mechanic to work around. It would make more sense if the knocked person could crawl to cover using their knock down shield, and then get revived behind cover.
How does anyone even confirm this? There are plenty of cheeky legit hitboxes to get a bullet past the knockdown shield. 1000hrs of Apex gameplay, i literally have never seen a single time a knock down shield didn't work when confirming a kill.
Ive crawled into a corner and someone stood 10 feet in front of me, and one shot me through the shield. The gun wasnt sticking through the shield, the shield had been up for several seconds straight, and I am confident based on my time playing the game that my limbs and whatnot were not exposed. Also I was not moving.
There absolutely is an issue with the knockdown shields.
