The Medic doesn't like it when we call this a "healing grenade launcher", so we'll be delicate: the Rejuvenator launches glass baubles full of healing-plasma, which shatter on impact with surfaces (or after a short airtime) and heal allies caught in the splash zone. It's easier than ever to tuck yourself around a corner and heal from relative safety, which means less dying, which means less getting cyberbullied for being dead all the time.
Unfortunately there's no ÜberCharge. Haha, oh my God, are you crying? There's totally an ÜberCharge, man. When the bar hits 100%, you can pull that humidifier out of your backpack and toss it on the ground, projecting a 6-second dome of invulnerability for as many teammates as can fit underneath it.
Thanks to a paperwork mishap that they were both too checked out to notice, both our VIPs have been accidentally co-managing the Drizzle Valley mining complex for years. Partial ownership means only partial profits, though, so each Civilian (and a team of well-armed amateur property lawyers) is coming down on inspection day, for a facility tour that'll settle this once and for all.
Drizzle's wetter, wider, and overall larger than 2Bridge. With a mess of indoor-outdoor flank routes, there's potential for avoidance play and sneaky VIP back-caps, rewarding the intelligent billionaire (if such a thing exists). Beware the middle of the map, where the escape paths cross and the two VIPs are nearly guaranteed to come face-to-face.
After two days of VIP-related content, we know what you must be thinking: "Teamplay, positioning, and buff management? Civilian is too stressful and VIP modes are complicated and stupid. I'm going to nominate Krepost again." But watch the brand-new VIP Race intro video anyway, and when you get voted VIP against your will someday, you might stand a chance out there.
