Elimination Manager Device Design Examples

With the Elimination Manager device, you can drop items on the device to register them, then when a player eliminates a specified target, items registered with this device can spawn at the eliminated target's location.

You can set the device to drop items in a specific order, or randomly. You can have the items drop based on elimination of other players or other enemies such as fiends or sentries.
