Potions

**Potions** are a major game mechanic in Gun Raiders. Hub potions are available in Hubs, and Battle Royale potions are available in Battle Royale.

## Appearance

Potions appear as a standard potion bottle seen throughout various forms of media with a liquid that varies in color based on the potion being used. When being poured, the liquid of the potion comes flowing out, although the amount of liquid is unlimited. When a Hub potion is in effect, the potion effect and time remaining will appear above the Health, Shield, and Fuel bars. Battle Royale potions will appear as listed bellow.

## Functionality

### Hub Potions

Potions spawn throughout the map every two minutes, notified by a sound and a notification reading "Potion time!" The potions despawn after 60 seconds, restarting the two minute timer.

if a player picks up a potion, the potions timer immediately decreases to five seconds.

There are a total of 6 Hub potions that can be obtained, each with their own unique effects:

#### Infinite Fuel

The green potion. Provides the player with infinite fuel for 3 minutes. Appears as a green potion.

#### Regeneration

The purple potion. Moderately regenerates the player's health for 3 minutes, and grants full health when consumed. Does not regenerate Armor or Overshield. Appears as a purple potion.

#### Climb Boost

The blue potion. Massively increases the distance a player gains by climbing for 3 minutes. Appears as a blue potion.

#### Speed Boost

#### Juggernaut

The yellow potion. Gives the player 5000 health, and massively increases the players size for 5 minutes. The size of the players weapons and the size of the player to non-Juggernauts increases as well. Upon drinking the potion, a notification reading "(Player name) is a JUGGERNAUT!" will pop up on every player's screen. Players gain 2000 experience points for killing a juggernaut, and 1000 to assist in defeating one. Other players can always see your remaining health, unless it is obscured.
