Could the Scrin be a killer in Dead By Daylight?

For those of you who have zero clue what I'm talking about, The Scrin are the 3rd faction in the Tiberium series of Command and Conquer games, mainly playing a role in the 3rd and final game of the series, Tiberium War, a alien race hell-bent on harvesting the green crystal, as it's unique radiation is required for them to survive

The Scrin are known for several things in C&C, Air superiority

Mind Control, particularly with the Traveller Sect

The Eradicator

and overall having significantly more advanced tech then either of the other factions


So, you then may ask, how could a Scrin unit be represented in game?

Well, there are 3 options, Standard, Traveller based, or Reaper, based

before we start with standard, lets discuss basic attributes


Name: The Scrin

Height: Tall

Speed: 115 (except the Reaper based option, which is 110)



Lets start with Standard first

The troop in question is arguably the most iconic of the Scrin forces, the Shock Trooper, for it's power we can go with *Tiberium Infestation*


Pressing CRTL will allow you to place a small Growth Accelerator that will spread Tiberium in a small area, survivors that walk through the Tiberium field will becoming infected, this works similarly to Plague's infection, only instead of being only broken they will take damage once fully infected, the infection will then reset and if the survivor doesn't cure themselves they will go down, 5 of these Growth Accelerators can be placed on the map and act like Hag's traps, where placing your 6th one will cause the first one to despawn, along with any Tiberium that happens to be nearby

getting cured happens in 2 ways

1.Getting into the Dying state

2. Finding a Tiberium Syringe, which is pretty much the exact same as Plague's Pools of Devotion only they can be used infinitely but take about 30 or so seconds to respawn

Next, we have Traveller Based

This is the Scrin Prodigy, Traveller 59's version of the normal Scrin Mastermind, as Traveller is focused on mind control i think its power can be *Mental Takeover*

Pressing M2 near a healthy survivor will begin a process similar to how Old Freddy made you fall asleep, however, instead of making survivors fall asleep you will be able to influence their actions and make them see things (kind of like Doctor but more interesting), once the M2 action is completed the survivor will be fully under your control for 30 seconds, you can make them move anywhere and attack other survivors for you, if for whatever reason you need to stop the action the survivor will become Influenced for however long you held the m2 action for, up to a max of 30 seconds

Influenced survivors will:

1.See random objects of interest (Gens, chests, totems, etc) even if they aren't there

2.Will see doorways, pallets and windows even if they aren't actually there

3.Will see other survivors running around even if they aren't there

4.Will see the Prodigy out of the corner of their screen

Completing the M2 action takes 15 seconds and requires line of sight, you can Influence multiple survivors but can only Control one, and while Controlling a survivor you will be unable to attack (sort of like Twins while controlling Victor)

Finally, and my personal favourite, Reaper Based

Meet the Shard Walker, a mutated and stronger version of the standard Gun Walker, it's power is very simple, *Tiberium Shard Launcher*

Pressing M2 will fire a Tiberium shard and holding M2 will let you charge up a barrage of them, hitting a survivor will fill up a meter similar to Trickster (takes 7 shots to injure), however there are some differences

1.Tiberium shards stick to surfaces like walls and pallets, and detonate after a short while (yes this breaks breakable Walls, no it does not break pallets or windows), Survivors near this take extra metre damage (kind of like old Trick Blades)

2.You only have 10 shards at any time, and when you run out they will recharge after 5 seconds

3.The metre only decreases when out of chase, but it does go down very quickly out of chase

Finally, we have perks

1.Ichor's Curse

Survivors within your Terror Radius leave behind scratch marks even while walking or crouching

"Aliens! Jesus, look at those things!"

2.Traveller's Control

Survivors that perform cooperative actions suffer from a 10% speed penalty

"Ah, the enigma that is the Traveller sect, a mystery even to their compatriots, a mystery even to me!"

3.Reaper's Fury

Getting stunned or blinded gives you a 5% movement speed buff for 15 seconds

"the Cult of Reaper, the darkest, guiltiest secret of the Visitors. A death cult veiled in the trappings of religion"


So yeah, i understand it will probably never happen because The Scrin are about has far from human as you can possibly be, but hey, it's fun to speculate
