Prototype

Overview
The Prototype is a melee that seems to be based off of a vaccinator. Its model is rough and unfinished, a possible nod to its name. It is given to the player as a secondary melee if they have obtained the Jumper Badge.

Gameplay
The Prototype is a very convenient melee, it works in a completely different way unlike other melees. The Prototype trades its attacking prowess as a melee for better utility, as see in its ability to heal the players HP by 20. This synergizes amazingly with the Armor Plate or Vest as the health boost provided by said utility items can be healed by the Prototype surprisingly fast, due to its fast cooldown of 1 second. However, players must know that they shouldn't get cocky because the Prototype's healing can easily be impractical in a situation of one-on-one combat, so always in places where you are safe for a period of time. However, that doesn't mean you can't, as there are many opportunities where you can safely heal even in the middle of a battle if players can utilize their surroundings to their advantage.

Overall, The Prototype is a handy tool especially with utility items as it allows you to get ready for your next matchup or change the tide of a tough battle to have the advantageous upper hand. Either way, it is a tool that should not be underestimated.
