Old near Death experience was only a blue gum. You could use it even playing solo. It would last 4rds and get you up as many times as you went down during that time. With all your perks.
Fast forward to the new but definitely not improved. Near death experience. Can't be used in solo . And it only lasts three minutes . And they've upgraded it to an ultra level gum.
So basically, it's worth more and does less… Unless you're playing co-op, it's worth less. And even then, it only lasts 3 damn minutes.
