The Nemesis

T-Virus

"A virus that causes extreme mutations and can be transferred to others. Its effects heighten aggression and strength within The Nemesis." SPECIAL ABILITY: T-VIRUS The power of The Nemesis expands as his Mutation Rate grows. Mutation Rate 1 has no special benefits for The Nemesis: • A Tentacle Strike is unable to break Breakable Walls and dropped Pallets. • A Tentacle Strike has a range of 5 metres. • Reduces his Movement speed wile charging a Tentacle Strike to 3.8 m/s. Mutation Rate 2 is reached at 5 Contamination Points and has the following benefits for The Nemesis: • Grants the ability for a Tentacle Strike to break Breakable Walls and dropped Pallets. Mutation Rate 3 is reached at 9 Contamination Points and has the following additional benefits for The Nemesis: • Increases the range of the Tentacle Strike to 6.5 metres. • Increases his Movement speed wile charging a Tentacle Strike to 4.0 m/s. SPECIAL ATTACK: TENTACLE STRIKE Press and hold the Power button to charge a Tentacle Strike, then press the Attack button to unleash it. Survivors hit with a Tentacle Strike grant The Nemesis Contamination Points towards his Mutation Rate and become afflicted by Contamination: • Grants +3 Points for hitting Survivors not yet afflicted with Contamination. • This also causes the hit Survivor to suffer from a -20 % Hindered Status Effect for 2 seconds. • Grants +1 Point for hitting Survivors already afflicted with Contamination. The Tentacle Strike has a Cool-down time of 2.25 seconds. SPECIAL AFFLICTION: CONTAMINATION Survivors suffering from Contamination are susceptible to damage from being either by a Tentacle Strike or by a Zombie. Contaminated Survivors occasionally cough, potentially betraying their location. SPECIAL ENEMY: ZOMBIES During the Trial, 2 Zombies spawn and roam randomly through the environment. Both of their Auras are revealed to The Nemesis at all times. Zombies can track nearby Survivors and are attracted to Loud Noise Notifications. They can attack Survivors coming too close to them and abide by the same rules as a Tentacle Strike doing so. Destroying Zombies will cause them to respawn after 12 seconds from below a random Hook. Doing so with a Tentacle Strike as The Nemesis will also grant +1 Point towards Mutation Rate. Survivors have limited means to counter Zombies: • Using Flashlight, Firecrackers, or Flash Grenades on them blinds and stuns them in place for 15 seconds. • Stunning them with a Pallet or Head On destroys them and causes them to respawn after 45 seconds. SPECIAL ITEM: VACCINE Survivors can cure themselves or other Survivors from Contamination by locating a Supply Case and searching it for a Vaccine: • A total of 4 Supply Cases spawn in random locations in the environment. • The Auras of Supply Cases are revealed to Contaminated Survivors at all times. • Each Supply Case contains 1 single-use Vaccine. • Using the Vaccine triggers Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.
