Last Stand is a game mechanic often found in FPS (First-Person Shooter) games. It refers to a situation where a player, after taking a critical amount of damage that would typically result in their character’s death, is given a temporary chance to continue fighting with limited abilities.
In this state, the player is usually incapacitated, unable to move freely, and often restricted to using a sidearm or a similar weapon. The player may have a limited amount of time or a certain amount of health during this Last Stand phase. If they manage to defeat an enemy during this time, they may be able to “revive” or return to the game with a portion of their health restored, depending on the game’s specific mechanics.
This feature adds an extra layer of strategy and suspense to the gameplay, as players must decide whether to use their last moments to try and take down an enemy, or to seek cover and hope for a teammate’s assistance. It’s important to note that not all FPS games include a Last Stand mechanic, and the specifics can vary greatly between different games.
