New Chapter: Infection (The Last of Us Chapter)

Chordyceps

New Killer: The Clicker

Speed: 4.6 m/s

Terror Radius: 12 meters

Height: Average

Weapon: Overgrown Claw

Difficulty: Hard

Power: Cordyceps Mutation

Once a regular human, The Clicker has been overtaken by a late stage cordyceps based virus that has turned them into no more than a beast. This virus has robbed The Clicker of their sight, but has granted them increased strength and echolocative abilities.

The Clicker cannot see survivors further than 8 meters away from itself. Survivors running, repairing generators and performing rushed actions while within 48 meters of The Clicker have their aura revealed to The Clicker. Survivors walking within 16 meters of The Clicker have their aura revealed to The Clicker

Special Ability: Echolocation

The Clicker makes clicking noises in order to echolocate those near it. Press the active ability button to create a clicking noise that reveals the auras of survivors within 12 meters of you and in your Field of View for 3 seconds. This has a cooldown of 2 seconds.

Special Ability: Berserk

Once The Clicker has locked onto its prey, it loses all rationality as it hunts it down. When The Clicker reads a survivor’s aura, Berserk charges up. Berserk activates automatically when it is fully charged (about 10 seconds worth of aura reading). Upon activation, The Clicker screams and gains a 7% boost to movement speed, recovers from stuns 30% faster and can put healthy survivors into the dying state. Berserk lasts for 8 seconds, and when it ends The Clicker is slowed down for a short period of time.

Perks:

You instinctively know where to target your attacks to deal the most damage.

Scourge Hook: Rot

You leave a path of death and decay in your wake. Whenever you hook a survivor, that hook becomes a scourge hook. Up to a maximum of 4/5/6 scourge hooks can appear in the trial. Survivors within 24 meters of scourge hooks suffer a -15% penalty to repair, healing and sabotage speeds.

It takes 80/70/60 seconds to reach the maximum cooperative action speed bonus.
