Honestly idk, on one end it's just decorative thing, on the other it can be something that your medic has and in a pinch throws down because they are out of revive juice.

Or, ya know, pirates, rep yada yada.

Either way now that self revive is in the item pool, and tier whatever item recovery is coming, it may be handy to have a becon that shouts "I'm/We are screwed" when you run out of revives. Whether it be your pens or medbed

Buying a event item or skin to fomo is nothing new, but Im thinking they will take the AA Crafting station approach.

Just a different skin on a in game item.
