Questions about Nemesis add ons.

Licker Tongue: any point? I.e. does it actually help in anyway?

Do zombie movement add ons stack?

Do zombie detection range add ons stack?

    I like Licker Tongue. Especially combined with the parasite purple add on. The survivor does not get much distance after that first thwap.

    Yes, they do. This is currently my favorite addons on Nemesis. The purple addon works really well with the yellow addon. It’s not as quick as the iridescent, but the iridescent is not strong enough imo.

    I believe they do, but haven’t utilized it. I like these in combination with the movement speed addons, but not by themselves. I think of them as more complimentary.

    Licker tounge adds 0.15 seconds on the 0.25 second hindered duration, meaning that the survivors speed boost total distance is reduced from

    11.7 meters to a whopping 11.5 meters

    Nemesis current Add Ons are so underwhelming as you're better off not using them as you're only gonna get disappointment.

    Marvins blood is straight brokenly powerful. The rest are awful.

    In the 2.5 seconds of cooldown after a tentacle strike survivors normally are able to gain

    (0.25s times 4.8 m/s )+(2.25s times 6m/s) = 14,7 m

    with licker tongue it's

    (0.4 times 4.8 m/s)+(2.1s times 6m/s)= 14.5 m

    So no, not worth it in the slightest

    (20% slowdown + 150% speedboost stacking multiplicatively means 0.8 times 1.5= 1.2 so a 20% speedboost which is 4.8 m/s)

    as a sidenote if the hindered effect didn't excist at all the survivor would be able to gain 15m of distance

    Both base + licker's tongue hindered effect desperatly need their duration increased

    Aside from Marvin's blood, the two wristband add ons are quite nice as your zombies will find survivors more easily and I THINK they also tend to get stuck less frequently (at least from my experience). The coin add on that removes a supply case is also good as you have to deal with less extra health states. Licker tongue and both his iridescent add ons are a meme though.

    yellow+purple addons give you the same speed boost as the ultra rare addon does

    Has anyone used Depleted Ink ribbon with Bloodwarden or No way out. Wanted to try it but haven't yet.

    It's laughable how utterly worthless Licker tongue is. Current Clown bottles are way more helpful than that piece of junk.

    I just woke up, but the only add-ons I think that are even worth considering are Marvin's, Serotonin Injector(works when a zombie dies btw, you dont have to kill them), the movespeed add-ons, Plant43 Vines and the broken coin. Everything else blows.

    I thought the detection add-ons would be nice, but I feel on the whole it's net neutral considering the zombies overall inconsistency and tendency to get caught up in things.

    Licker tongue is more a waste of time, don't use it. Unless you truly want .40 seconds of hindered

    The answer is yes to everything else

    It'd be cool if they spawned 1 in gate and one outside

    Wrong. use the zombie addons, always. Nothing else matters.
