One curious addition in this update is its Wi-Fi feature. If a player dies, they have the option (which can be exercised thrice) to have another player rescue them via Wi-Fi.

It's one thing to have friends that are willing to bail you out, but we can't imagine too many people randomly looking for players to save.
