They said sync kills should seldom kill. Ever seen it not?

↑↑↑ I think I've been synced twice were I wasn't revivable.

Yeah, on PS4 have been downed (but revivable) a few times plus out (spectating) a few times since the change (more often able to get up).

What was the situation where you "couldn't" be revived again? I noticed on wave 6 one time buttlocked by a fiend he showed me who was going to be the man in our relationship, and I couldn't get up.

If you're going to get sync-killed it will most likely happen on Wave 7 when you're making your way to the LZ. A Fiend grab you from behind or teleport and grab you and sync-kill you so you can't extract (like what happened to me last nigh >.<)

I'd say 9 times out of 10 the 'synch kill' is nonlethal for me.

1 time out of 10 I am so close to healthgate that the enemy damage blows through it, or some other enemy gates me before the synch kill goes off, etc.

I had two non fatal sync within 1 second in a game this am. On extraction wave i idiotically ran back to try and raise a guy who was not raising himself. Raised him then immediately got synced by an Ascendant, had 10 seconds left so I raised myself and immediately was synced by a Fiend. Raised myself again and could not get to the ezone in time, missed by about 2 seconds.

Been "grabbed" about three times since the change. The first time I was synced and could not revive, the other two I used an ops pack (ME3 terms only) before the final blow and was able to revive.

I believe I saw somewhere that it depends on if health/shield gate is overcome to a certain degree - but this could just be nonsense. In any case, I have enough ops packs to waste, so this seems like a better-safe-than-sorry strat.

I did once, but only once
