I'd like to start by saying that I came up with this while brainstorming with holy colt on steam about cool additions to Killing Floor and other than a ghille suit DLC character and the final blissful inclusion of sniper rifles, I thought of what would make a cool addition to the gore-rendering family of survivor killers already available.
It's name is still in consideration but my favorite so far is "The Dasher"
It's a muscular male frame with some wayward wires and and plates. But more specifically a metal head with a light for an eye with wires going all through everywhere. Pretty much the dasher has two nasty blades on each hand and will slice anything in it's way.
Now it's attacks
1. It will charge at the direction of the most survivors and will slash blindly about letting an electric growl of violence out in it's frustration.
2. It will roar after a couple of charges, the roar will do damage much like a sirens scream and will sound very artificial and electric.
3. It will have a jumping slash attack that will be used to break up clumps of survivors.
4. It will let out a bright flash and will cut out audio just long enough for it to leave the area of fighting, this will encourage the survivors to kill wayward enemies to avoid getting hit while blinded.
Now for the out of battle behaviour
1. It runs away and will rest until it recovers half of the health it has lost in the last battle.
2. It is always regenerating health, but it is very slow at doing so and can easily be interrupted. This changes the game mechanics from a defender role to a hunter role for the group.
3. The boss will have a lot of health but when a good team fight him, he will not find the time to heal and can be easily toppled after an aggressive and active fight.
This was put up by request of Holy Colt.
I would love for tripwire to use these ideas but it is fine if you choose not to, I just had this in mind as a particularly fun fight.
Comments, concerns? Leave them all as comments and I'll get to them ASAP.
Cheers and happy hunting,
Tigrexel
