9. How the Plugin Works

The plugin runs automatically in the background. If a player holding a Magnum or a Fireaxe gets incapacitated and dies, their secondary weapon will physically drop onto the floor exactly where their body is. Any surviving teammate can then walk over and pick up that weapon to help them fight through the rest of the map. If the dead player is revived later with a defibrillator, they will need to run back to their death spot to retrieve their dropped weapon.
