NEW KILLER CONCEPT: THE BERSERKER⚙️ Attributes

  • Name: Unknown (referred to in the Entity's Fog simply as The Berserker)
  • Base Movement Speed: 4.6 m/s
  • Terror Radius: 32 meters
  • Height: Tall (but heavily hunched)

🌪️ Special Power: FURIOUS ROLLThe Berserker starts the trial in a calm state. He possesses a Wrath Meter that slowly fills during the trial (gained from chasing Survivors, landing basic attacks, or being stunned by pallets, similar to The Shape's Evil Within). Once the meter is fully charged, you can activate Furious Roll:

  • Activation: Triggers a short transformation animation (~1 second) where The Berserker curls into a tight ball.
  • Camera View: The camera can either switch to a Third-Person perspective for better navigation, or remain in First-Person with an expanded FOV (both options are mechanically viable).
  • Movement Mechanics: During the roll, his movement speed is slightly slower than The Hillbilly’s chainsaw sprint. However, he suffers from very low maneuverability (a wide turning radius), meaning sharp turns are nearly impossible. Successful hits can only be landed in a relatively straight line.
  • Object Destruction: Any dropped pallet or breakable wall you collide with is instantly destroyed. The Berserker continues rolling after destruction with only a minor, temporary speed reduction.
  • The Impact: Hitting a Survivor while rolling immediately puts them into the Dying State (One-Shot Down).
  • Duration & Cooldown: The roll lasts for a maximum of 7 seconds. The player can manually cancel the roll early. Once the roll ends or is canceled, The Berserker enters a 2-second recovery state where he is severely slowed down. The Wrath Meter completely resets after use.

🩸 MEMENTO MORIThe Berserker steps heavily on the crawling Survivor's back, forcing them to flip over. He drives his massive club into the dirt to free both hands, bends down, and grabs the victim firmly by the shoulders and thighs. With a feral, animalistic roar, he rips the Survivor completely into two halves. He stands hunched, heavily panting, holding the torn pieces high in the air for a few seconds before tossing them aside and reclaiming his club.⛓️ Unique Perks

  1. Unchained Wrath:
    Your hatred for confinement fuels your speed. Every time you are stunned by a pallet, you gain a Token (up to a maximum of 3). Each Token increases your window vaulting speed and pallet/breakable wall breaking speed by 10%. All accumulated Tokens are consumed upon successfully putting a Survivor into the Dying State.
  2. Hex: No More Cages:
    A Hex that punishes those who try to escape your grasp. While this Hex Totem is active, whenever a Survivor performs a rushed vault over a window or a pallet within your Terror Radius, the Entity blocks that window or pallet for 15 seconds.
  3. Primal Terror:
    Your savage presence paralyzes your prey. When an injured Survivor enters your Terror Radius for the first time, they instantly suffer from the Hindered status effect for 8 seconds. This perk has a cooldown of 50 seconds.
