Speed Coil

#REDIRECT Coils#Speed Coil
== /// SUMMARY ==
The Speed Coil is a mobility-focused active utility item that won't take up inventory slots upon being bought. It is unlocked at Wave 6 and costs 2,500$.
While in use, Speed Coil will let the user sprint, allowing for quicker movements and easing navigation of the Battlefield.
== /// MECHANICS ==
This item will not take up an inventory slot.
Holding [SHIFT] will allow the user to sprint with enhanced speed. Doing so will initially cost 10% stamina. Sprinting will then gradually drain stamina until the user either runs out of it or stops sprinting. After some time of inactivity, stamina will passively regenerate.
Additionally, while sprinting, the user will be forced to unequip their currently held item, providing a shield that preserves 25% of the unequipped weapon's Damage Resistance. Once [SHIFT] is released, the shield will disappear and the previously held item will be automatically reequipped.
Speed Coil's sprinting speed, stamina drain, and stamina regen are all affected by game progression. As with the other coils, all of these statistics improve the further the game has progressed.
The table below describes the Speed Coil's base and late-game statistics.
GAME STAGE	STAMINA REGEN	STAMINA DRAIN	SPEED MULTIPLIER
EARLY-GAME	20.00 SECONDS	5.00 SECONDS 	x2.50
LATE-GAME 	10.00 SECONDS	10.00 SECONDS	x3.00
The Speed Coil's stamina regen statistics are reduced by -25.00% during boss fights.
== /// STRATEGY ==
# Most melee weapons already provide a speed boost. Swap to one when preserving stamina.
# Avoid pressing [SHIFT] several times in rapid succession when sprinting, to avoid wasting stamina.
# Make a habit of first swapping to a weapon that provides Damage Resistance before sprinting, for maximum survivability.
# Keep in mind that Speed Coil will inherit Damage Resistance while [SHIFT] is held, not strictly while the player is moving; the user may hold [SHIFT] to receive the shield, stop moving, and then equip a weapon for even higher Damage Resistance.
# Note that buying Speed Coil means trading off shoving due to keybinds conflicting.
== /// TRIVIA ==
# Unlike other coils being placed on the arms, the Speed Coil is placed on the legs instead.
# The Speed Coil is a reference to the Roblox gear Speed Coil which when held, increases the player’s walkspeed
