Killer Idea: The Boiler

killer name: the boiler

Appearance: A burnt man with various mechanical parts attached to him, all leaking crude oil. The weapon is a massive drill coming out of the Boiler's arm, surrounded by a metal tube that is constantly leaking oil.

Speed: 110% (4.4 m/s)

Terror Radius: 32 meters

Height: Tall


Power: Oil Shot

Holding m2 for 1 second will charge a shot of oil, that travels up to 24 meters in an arch. It can be angled in any way. If it hits a Survivor, they are slowed by 30% speed for 20 seconds, and leave a trail of oil during that time. If they interact with a generator during that time, the oil on them will light on fire. When a Survivor is lit on fire, they scream, revealing their location for 3 seconds, and get injured after 10 seconds. For the entire duration they are injured, that Survivor is Hindered, slowed down by 5%.

Secondary Power: Overheat

The Boiler has an overheat meter, which is charged by injuring Survivors (charges by 10%), using Oil Shot (charges by 20%), and breaking generators (charges by 50%.) After the meter is fully charged, the Boiler will start to overheat. This lasts 60 seconds, and during that time the overheat meter slowly goes down. During this time, the Boiler moves at 120% movement speed (4.8 m/s), and being hit by the Oil Shot will instantly burn a Survivor. While overheating, the Boiler also kicks breakable walls, pallets and generators 30% faster. Kicking a generator will overheat the generator as well, and it will regress 50% faster. The time the Boiler is stunned for by anything that can stun is increased by 100% while overheating.
