New Killer: The Pestilence
New Killer: The Pestilence
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Movement Speed: 115%/ 4.6 m/s
Weapon: Rusty Sickle
Power: Swarm
The Killer launches a swarm of insects out of his hand. If a survivor is hit by this swarm, they will have the swarm of insects flying around their head. If it doesn’t hit a survivor, the swarm will linger in place for 5 seconds before dispersing. If a survivor runs into this swarm, the insects will swarm around their head. When a survivor is swarmed, they will scream every 4-6 seconds, which will reveal their aura for 1 second. The swarm will surround a survivor’s head for 20 seconds before dispersing.
Secondary Power: Insect Forme
Pressing shift will cause the killer’s body to collapse and reform into a gigantic swarm of insects. While in this form, the killer moves at 150% movement speed, and can move through windows and palettes without vaulting. Your terror radius is also reduced to 16 meters. This form lasts for a maximum of 8 seconds, and the killer can’t attack in this form. Upon ending this form, the killer takes 2.5 seconds to return to his original form, and moves at 95% speed during this time. Once the reform animation is started, it can’t be canceled. This has a cooldown of 10 seconds.
Perks:
Creep: You become obsessed with one survivor. Every time your obsession is healed, you gain a token, up to a maximum of 2/3/4. As long as your obsession is alive, for every token you have, the length of your red stain is reduced by 25%. Hooking your obsession removes 1 token. (Rare/Rare/Very Rare)
(Unlocks at Level 30)
Hex: Fueled
A hex that is powered by strength in numbers. For every dull totem remaining on the map, your movement speed while in a chase is increased by 1%./1.5%/2%
This hex totem is protected by the entity. 1/2/3 other totems must be cleansed before this totem can be cleansed. (Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare)
(Unlocks at Level 35)
Shadow of Death: Whenever a totem is cleansed within 32/48/64 meters of you, your become undetectable for 10/10/15 seconds. (Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare)
(Unlocks at Level 40)
Ultra Rare Addons:
Cicada Molting: Passing through a survivor while in insect forme will make them swarmed. Increases time to reform.
Wasp Stinger: Reveals survivor’s auras for the entire duration of being swarmed. Reduces swarm time on survivors. Increases cooldown of swarm.
Mori: The Pestilence grabs the survivor by their shoulders and forces them to stare him in the face. Bugs swarm out of the pestilence until the survivor’s entire body is covered. After a few seconds the bugs disperse and the survivor’s body is gone.
