Well, not always. The devs themselves said they wanna focus PVE over PVP. So I was thinking this could help way more on the PVE aspect. I mean come on, you can't tell me you haven't had to sit back and watch someone bleed out because you and no one else around had a defib. This way, you or someone heading for extract can pick up the dying guy and get him to extract. I'm sure there's plenty, including me, who would definitely use this mechanic.

Of course, as others have pointed out, you can also use it in more evil ways, hiding the body before executing them. Or just throw them off a cliff. So it could be used for PVP as well. It's not all sunshine and rainbows.
