Balanced dying wish Pog
Not sure what the name is, unless it’s a play on the Liquid Death drink. Idk if I like the name but it could be worse. Minor detail. I like the machine and emblem, cool that it’s somewhat coffin shaped.
I love the health bar mechanic. Would you buy the health at a seperate price and then have to buy the perk? And what happens in maps with a Wunderfizz? (Valid question for both pre and post cw iterations)
The crawl faster is nice but incredibly minor. I guess that’s fine though, nothing wrong with slapping little mini perks onto something and it can definitely help out.
Overall great concept, my only concern is pre cw systems wise, it’s another crutch perk. It is more health plain and simple, even if it’s on a cooldown and at a price. This was the issue dying wish faced, more chance of survival is valued above most other perks. It pushes perks like electric cherry out of the running. Ofc, you control the map(s) it’s hypothetically in, so it could be balanced out.
This is just juggernog with extra steps
My take on “Brink of Death!”
When one hit away from death (Going down), gain 5x melee damage & auto-reload your current weapon.
So dying wish?
The madman’s at it again! So far you’re 3/3 when it comes to designs, this one might be my favorite so far.
Conceptually speaking, I’m on board with the rest of the comments, this is quite similar to dying wish but with a cool mechanic added that balances it put. I did think the decision to buy back health at the machine was wierd but I couldn’t think of a better way of implementing that.
I could see this working in any game but I think it’d be right at home in BO4 given how outlandish and unique (mechanic wise) some of those perks are. But again, bravo. Keep the ideas coming!
Maybe during the 3 seconds you also get a damage boost to get you out of that pinch
