When asked if a respawning feature would ever make its way into Fortnite's battle royale mode, Epic responded "We’ve been considering this mechanic for a while and have been exploring it. Want to make sure we give it the time it needs and fully understand its impact on the game as a whole. Look for further updates during Season 8."
Though Apex Legends definitely doesn't hold your hand, it does encourage team dynamics by allowing for a respawn mechanic. You see your teammate downed? Scoop up their banner and get them to a respawn point. It's definitely better than Fortnite where if you die, you're down for the count no matter what.
Both battle royale titles allow for a small period where a teammate can revive you, though with Fortnite if you remain "knocked out" for too long - you're out for good. It makes the team reliance much more apparent in Apex, which in turn could facilitate a healthier online community in the long run. To see that make its way into Epic Games' free-to-play game would be incredible, especially if done right.
