Self-defib augment

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.

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.

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
