The interdyne defibrillator is a black and red one-handed defibrillator that comes with a medium power cell. It deals 8 blunt damage a hit, but when turned on does an additional 16 shock damage, for a total of 24 DPS. not equal to an esword or northstars, but still pretty good in a pinch. The downside is that it takes 6 seconds to shock someone instead of 3, meaning you can be much more easily interrupted if you try to revive an ally in an unsafe environment. The shock damage is not blocked by insulated gloves... Or any armor. It's effectively an AP melee weapon since shock resistance doesn't really exist. I'm willing to change it to just deal heat damage instead if this is too big of an issue.

Why / Balance

The medical bundle has been more or less worthless for awhile now, and ever since a defib was added to the nukie planet it's actually MORE expensive to buy the medical bundle than it is to buy the contents. I feel like it has potential though, so here we are. Carrying a full sized defib with you as a nukie agent is generally not worthwhile, it takes up a large chunk of your bag, you need to drop everything to use it (making you vulnerable to surprise attacks with no way to quickly respond), and requires your allies to NOT use acidifiers, risking their equipment falling into enemy hands. The interdyne defib solves two of these issues, being half the size, taking up one hand, and being a rather effective melee weapon to use in a pinch.
