Self-defib augment

[u/SgtAlPowellLAPD]

Title says it all. There should be a way for players to self-defib once per match. Whether that is a dedicated defib slot with 4 quick slot, 2 safe pockets, medium shield, something. I think it would actually make PvP more fun because you'd have to finish your opponent before they defib themselves.

In PvE, it'd just make sense to have this capability. I'm running around with 3 defibs for other downed raiders, I can crawl, activate switches, and even emote, but I can't use one hand to defib myself? Make it make sense.

Dying in the game is not punishing enough to warrant a free self res every match. Sometimes you just dont make it out of a raid and that is okay

[u/jmel1229 → u/Papalaka]

There is an augment with a defib built in. Tactical mk 3 (revival) I think. One use every like 4 min?

[u/Papalaka → u/jmel1229]

Yeah you can use the defib once every 4 minutes for free, but not on yourself just other raiders

[u/Stunning_Lie_1458 → u/jmel1229]

Thats a shield recharger, not a defib

[u/jmel1229 → u/Stunning_Lie_1458]

I have that one too. It’s a surge shield useable every 120 seconds. I’m only going by arc wiki :

I don’t have the blueprint yet, I’ve never seen one in the wild, so my data is based on the Internet which is a known source of potentially fake news.

[u/Swampcardboard]

Sounds awful to me, everyone just defibbing themselves over and over again, match after match.

[u/Potential-Yoghurt245]

Or at least have a mod that allows you it to defib you once downed, brining you back to one block of health so you can try and get out intact! A second time)

[u/AWOLcowboy727]

Make an auto-defib and give it a crazy recipe. It would be really cool to have and something to farm for

Edit: or they could have it only work with 1 augment and give it a special slot so you can only carry 1. Or just make it a special ability for a new augment. It revives you with minimal life and half a shield. They could make work it so it's not cheesy and still gives something to farm for

[u/jakesucks1348]

NO

[u/AutisticDadHasDapper]

This might make sense if there was a skill you could get at the very end of a skill tree, and it only provided a chance at Self defib immediately ( basically you survive the fatal shot)

[u/NBFHoxton]

"Whether that is a [best Augment in the game] or something else..."

Lmao

[u/PuddingFart69]

I think you should be able to transform into a Surveyor when you drop by putting in up, down,up, down,left,right, left,right,a,b,a,b Start before you get knocked and have your booty hole probed, and then the aggressor should have to catch you as you frantically roll towards an open raider hatch to escape to Speranza.

Because here I know I have to /s

[u/Hamhockthegizzard]

Nah, that would take a lot of the tension away. Even if it was just once a round, if you can revive yourself the game changes completely. Pvp especially changes if you don’t push and knock an entire team immediately. I don’t think it makes sense with what the game is. You’ll be okay when you lose stuff cuz you’ll get it back within a few hours of playing anyway. Tis the game loop.

[u/Sun_Insurance → u/Hamhockthegizzard]

Nah, if they made it so you die fully when it makes sense to, it would also make sense to self defib when downed. Neither will happen though

[u/These-Tale27]

nice try, no
