The Defibrillator is a gadget available to the Medium Build that instantly triggers the revival of a teammate.
Overview
Upon use, the Defibrillator instantly triggers the revival of the teammate it was used on. Teammates are revived with 50% of their maximum health. Activating the Defibrillator on an enemy contestant will deal 50 damage. The charge-up time is 0.8s.
A contestant that is revived with the Defibrillator will gradually re-materialize into the level over a period of 3s before fully loading back into the arena. During this time, the contestant is invulnerable.
Uses & Interactions
The Defibrillator's main strength is the amount of time it saves to revive a teammate whilst in combat. This ability can change the outcome of a fight drastically, but the revived contestant must play carefully to avoid being quickly eliminated due to their lowered health.
The Defibrillator has strong synergy with the Healing Beam specialization, as a teammate can be revived and then quickly healed to 100% health. The revived ally will stay invulnerable for exactly 0.75 seconds.
