#Defibrillator gadget for Medic

Provide medic a unique way to revive more dynamically at the cost of their gadget slot.

Currently, medics can revive using bandages at a higher speed than other classes, which is good, but they still need to lay against their target for 3-5 seconds to revive, significantly slowing them down and making revives actually pretty risky.

The defibrillator would work in the opposite way, you can revive someone instantly, but then have a 5 second recharge timer before it can be used again.

This would provide a much more dynamic way for medic to perform a core class role without it getting spammed, additional balancing could also be in the form of HP amount when revived using it.

Alternate use could also include a mildly useless but funny melee weapon.

If you didn't have to put yourself in extreme danger and basically stop any kind of momentum to revive someone, I think you'd start seeing a lot more revives and therefore a lot more teamwork.

CLARIFICATION: This would be in addition to bandage reviving, not a replacement.

#

For clarification, I don't mean that this should replace bandage revive on medics, just augment it.

Effectively give medics the means to revive before people hold that respawn button down 😉

#

Im for it, if we can use the defib as a weapon too!"

Didn't think of that actually, yea being able to revive someone before they just mash space is good.

will only agree if there's a windup time like charging it up before shocking

Probably an animation similar to how sledgehammers work, plus a cool down after

#

As a piece of equipment that conflicts with C4, it is very good

So they would have to choose between the Medic Kit or the Defi. This idea is actually genius

I like to tell myself that people want to respawn because they REALLY want to change their gun camo or attachments 🙂

#

Since what you're proposing is quicker to revive, perhaps the person should end up having less health than if they were "properly" bandaged/healed?

#

Revives should be risky imo, and I don't think an instant revive is needed in this game personally.

sly rose
#

Yeah i disagree medic is useless now

jaunty urchin
#

Medic is useless atm because everyone can heal super quick

#

I just don't think the solution is to speed up stuff even further with medic

#

I think the solution is to go backwards a little and slow stuff down again a bit

Tho having the same system as 4 would make roleplaying having your balls shot off in voip a bit harder
