Overview[edit]
Fleet Feet Fizz is Catastropop’s Nitro Lime formula that boosts your Speed perk. Each purchase adds +1 Speed, translating to a +0.1 px/frame increase in movement. It’s the simplest way to keep distance from the horde and reposition for headshots.
Mechanics[edit]
- Interact range: 16 units.
- Interaction: Instant; spawns a drink entity and applies the perk immediately.
- Cap: At 15 Speed, the machine is Out of Order.
- Audio: sndBuy on purchase, sndPowerDrink on drink.
Cost[edit]
- Base formula: `
cost = 1000 * (perks.speed + 1)` - Rounding: `
cost = round(cost / 25) * 25` → multiple of 25. - Scaling: Gets pricier the faster you already are (cost scales with your current perks.speed).
Effect[edit]
- Per purchase: `perks.speed += 1`
- Movement gain: `+0.1 px/frame` per Speed point (linear).
- Total at cap (15): `+1.5 px/frame` over base.
Strategy[edit]
- Headshot economy: More speed = easier kiting and cleaner headshots, which means fewer shots per kill and more points overall.
- Diminishing returns (cost, not power): The linear speed gain stays good; the price is what ramps hard — plan purchases around wave transitions.
- Pairs well with: Serendipity Soda (safer box rolls when you can reposition) and Beastinator (kite while upgrading mid-round).
Trivia[edit]
- Internal nickname was “Leg Day Lemonade” for about 15 minutes.
- Speed cap of 15 was chosen to preserve map readability and enemy tracking.
