Fast heal with Phoenix kit?

I was playing the game and got around 50 damage taken off my blue armor. So I used my Phoenix kit since I had nothing else. I immediately noticed that the heal was taking faster than the normal 10 seconds. Perhaps around 3 or 4 seconds. Furthermore, I noticed that there was some text above the progress bar (something along the lines of "turbo charge". Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact words). 

I was surprised since this has never happened before so I canceled the charge and tried again. However, it went back to the normal 10 second charge. There was nothing around me that could of sped up the charge (like Gibraltars dome). I have no idea what had triggered it. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this some sort of function i'm not aware of?

  • It could be a bug or a new test feature. Currently from memory the only things that speed up consumable usage are Lifeline's passive and Gibralter's Dome. The wiki doesn't say anything about Phoenix kits being sped up by anything either. 

    Maybe Phoenix kits will get a buff and become more versatile by being faster to use when there's less to heal.

    We have seen some bugs in the past that appear to be WIP mechanics showing up early, so without confirming it either way, it sounds like that might be happening. (Of course something being WIP doesn't mean it'll be implemented)

    I'm pretty sure it happened to me once with a shield battery, but I was panicking and ducking out of fire so my attention was divided. 

    In any case, if anyone encounters a clip of this happening, it'd be much appreciated. 

  • Happens to me sometimes when im having some lag or ping issues.Before s4 sometimes when i was lagging and used a syringe,sometimes i would heal double the health with it lmao
