Patriots Flag

Summary
A flag, for whatever reason. Use it to show off your new weapon to other survivors. It signifies a time when the world used to be a better place.

Background Story
It was the week before Thanksgiving as a group of survivors were celebrating their day after defending their fortifications from the zombies. Survivors told their stories about what weapons they had used to defend themselves from the zombies in the early days of the SANI virus. A certain member recalled his time of using a Patriots Flag when the infection began as he had no other alternative weapons. Many thought his story was ludicrous and unrealistic, but a few sole survivors remember the day they rescued him from a horde when he held the flag and swung it around like a maniac to protect himself. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, he began giving flags to all of his peers to use, both as memory of a once existing country and the former ideologies that it held.

Surprisingly, the story of this survivor's tale spread like wildfire. Unsurprisingly, businesses caught on with this story and, like any other capitalist business, planned to sell their version of the flags in advance to Thanksgiving. They originally planned to sell it on the Fourth of July, but that would take a while and the story would've been long forgotten by now.

Tips

 * Try to hit people with it.
 * You can plant the flag, by holding LMB but it will mean you lose the flag for the rest of the round.
 * You also stand majestically until you move away from the flag.
 * You can decorate your "Base" with flags, but it will cost you a secondary slot.
 * Use the flag's healing properties only when it's safe to do (few to no zombies around) as it takes time to activate the ability. If the player places the flag too quickly, the healing ability won't activate.
