Appearance[]
It is a tin can that has a white oval logo with a bean on it.
Function[]
The player, when using the gear, will open the can of beans and eat it with a spoon on the left hand. While eating it, it slowly regenerates 80% of the player's health. It also replaces the player's character's current face with a unique face similar to Smiff's face in the last panel of advert, when consuming. It is worth noting that the player eats the can of beans with a spoon left-handed, just like Smiff in the comic, regardless of whether or not the character is typically right-handed or not.

Advertisement[]

The face a player makes when eating the beans.
The idea for the gear was taken from a 4-framed comic advertisement for the formerly popular survival game Apocalypse Rising, which was made by Gusmanak .
In the first panel of the advertisement, a survivor named Smiff, who is wearing an orange shirt, blue pants, and a vest, finds another survivor named Tom inside a small building, who is wearing a purple shirt, green pants, and a vest. Tom asks Smiff to wait (it is implied Smiff was about to kill Tom, as he is pointing his gun at him, and Tom may also be wounded, although this is not clear. The casings on the ground next to Tom show evidence that there was at least a firefight) and offers to give him ammunition for his last can of beans. Smiff accepts, but with the condition that Tom helps him fight off the zombies.
In the second panel, Smiff and Tom are shown gunning down a horde of zombies. Text reads that "...they become a good team."
In the third panel, Tom finds another can of beans, and Smiff (who is presumably hungry, since he gave up his last can of beans) asks him if he found any ammunition. Tom replies that he has not, and returns the question. Smiff ominously states "Oh just one mag..."
In the fourth and final panel, Smiff is shown sitting on the corpse of Tom, eating the can of beans while making a wide-eyed, soulless expression. It is obvious Smiff had shot Tom to death using the magazine he found, but the act is not shown. Because of how Smiff eats the beans with his spoon, it could indicate that he is left-handed. This is further evidenced by Smiff holding his pistol with his left hand in the first panel. However, the way Smiff holds his gun in the second panel probably means that his dominant hand was not considered when creating the advertisement.
