Defibrillator

The Defibrillator is a single-use resurrecting device used to revive a dead player.

Though it was initially in the Equipment Menu for both Detectives and Traitors, it was phased out entirely before eventually being reintroduced with the Paramedic, who starts the round with one.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Unlike the other Brain Washing Device or Zombification Device, the Defibrillator does not change the revived player's role; because the Paramedic cannot check bodies, it can be risky to revive a player without the Detective first checking the body.

That being said, an Impersonator could potentially trick a Paramedic into reviving their Traitor Buddy, or even kill a player with the Fool's Golden Gun to make them revive as a Traitor.

The Defibrillator also cannot revive a player who died to a critical headshot; it will alert you if you are attempting to revive a "BRAINDEAD" player.

History
December 28, 2021 - When Duncan defibrillated Lewis, it converted him into an Innocent; this is the first time the Paramedic's demotion effect was shown.
