Or any other common liquid that is slippery, I suppose.

Laundry detergent seems the most comidic, so here it is.

Type: Tactical (?)

Price: $50

In-Game (?) : $80

Rank: 5+

Detergent: 60/0 (or whatever seems realistic)

Basically, you run around with your mouse held down and you spill detergent everywhere. If you stand still in one spot, the mess would understandably get bigger.

Encountering - Zombies

Zombie: The detergent will make you slide around, but is rather harmless nonetheless.

Ticker: Again, harmless. Would make you slide around, but slightly less then zombies though, as Tickers are slower.

Edgar: Due to the high speed of Edgars, touching this would make you slip instantly. If a survivor is coated in this, then your tougue would not be able to grab them, as they are too slippery. Not only that, but touching the detergent regardless with your tongue would disgust you, and would disable your tougue for a small amount of time (spent spitting the taste out) before you are able to use it again. Don't digest detergent kids.

Leaper: This would not affect you at all, as you are sluggish enough that you can get your bearings right. However, if a survivor is coated in this, you would slip right off. If you perchance leap and land on this, you would slip instantly, causing you to be vulnerable.

Brute: No affect. Your muscles are too big for the detergent to handle. This is a household detergent brand, so it's not heavyduty enough to handle you.

Elemental: While I wouldn't exactly say you would trip, this would make you slide around the most. (Detergent, when burnt, emit "noxious and toxic gases" but I don't know if that should be a thing.)

Encountering - Survivors

Yourself: Congrats, you made a massive spill. Sprinting on any puddle will make you slip, but you can walk on it without sliding around. Walking on it coats your screen with a slight blue-ish tint for 3 seconds after you walk off it.

Others: Congrats, you watched them make a massive spill. Sprinting on any puddle will not affect you, nor will you slide, so have fun. Walking on it coats your screen with a slight blue-ish tint for 3 seconds after you walk off it. (Yes, walking on it drenches you in detergent.)

Animation Suggestions

This time, they aren't solid grey blocks.

Pretty normal. Jumping and walking are similar.



You turn your body to the side to make it easier for you to sprint. Posture is slightly backwards to support the weight of the canister.



You take off the cap, and tilt it forward to pour it out. You cannot sprint while pouring. The detergent is a noticeable neon blue.

Your walkspeed is reduced while pouring. Not necessarily slow enough that there's a giant puddle, but not fast enough that you make dozens of small ones. You do drench yourself in this while pouring.

The puddles last as long as Ticker puddles. If this turns out to be stronger than intended, the fire extinguisher could also be used to remove these puddles (although unintentionally). You could work with other player zombies to work around this.

Again, any suggestions would be appreciated. If there are any issues that I haven't addressed, please point them out and I can try to resolve it. My main concern about this suggestion is how the puddles would work.
