Second Wind

Edit on GitHub

Second Wind is a Perk added in the v0.20.0 "Open Season" update on October 27th, 2024. It grants a speed boost when below 50% health.

Effects

When below 50% health:

• 40% Speed increase

Obtaining

In Harvest Mode, Second Wind drops from the Plumpkin, located in the Plumpkin Bunker. It is also occasionally dropped from Airdrops and always from Gold Airdrops.

Strategies

Using

• Generally, it's not a good idea to intentionally dip below 50% health to activate the perk, as this leaves you vulnerable.
• Second Wind is very useful for escaping the Gas in the later stages of the game if you get caught in it and start taking a lot of damage.
• Make sure to move around in random directions and strafe your opponents to benefit the most from Second Wind.
• You can also use Second Wind to escape from a fight quickly if you decide you might be killed/knocked out.
• During Halloween Mode, Second Wind can be combined with Lycanthropy to provide an immense speed boost below half health, which only adds to Lycanthropy's effectiveness.

Countering

• Use a long ranged weapon such as a sniper or DMR to keep damaging any player with Second Wind that tries to run away.
• Be aware that if the perk is active, that means they only have half their health and will be easier to kill if you can hit them.
• Use Frag Grenades or explosive shotguns like the USAS-12 or M590M, as the area damage can be more effective at dealing with highly mobile Second Wind users.
• If in a Duo or Squad, have everyone use weapons like DMRs to spray the opponent with Second Wind, since enough bullets should hit to incapacitate them.
