Left 4 Dead 2

I received a hot little rumor while walking the PAX grounds on Sunday. A friend had been playing Left 4 Dead 2 on the floor when his screen froze. He wasn’t being helped, or monitored, and he discovered a new weapon that has not yet been revealed…

Find out what it is and how it’s going to change the way you play Left 4 Dead 2, after the jump.

While playing Left 4 Dead 2, his game froze. After hitting the guide button and apparently restarting a different scenario, he discovered a “Defibrilator.” When he discovered the item, the on-screen tips showed up and said something to the effect of, “revive your dead teammates.”

Wow… Shocking…

Adding a defibrillator to the game could drastically change how the game is played. For one thing, it would be fun as hell to shock the undead back into the abyss. I can only hope that there will be a nice shock effect that sends the zombies flying…

Also there’s that little, “shock your friend back to life” deal. Is it a one time, one use item? Would it replace one of your weapon slots? One can only guess as this hot little item remains a rumor only, at this point. I’m sure there’s more goodies that remain to be announced from Valve as the days go on. Let’s see if this rumor pans out.
