Nemesis Addon Pass Idea

A common complaint about Nemesis is the fact that his addons generally feel underwhelming, and it feels like he only has a handful of useful addons to choose from. I have a few ideas of potential addon updates he could have.

S.T.A.R.S. Field Combat Manual

• The Auras of Survivors hit by Zombies are revealed to you for 12 seconds.

Instead of changing the color of Zombies when they hit a Survivor, they now reveal said Survivor. Zombie hits are relatively rare, so this length of Aura reading should be appropriate.

Brian's Intestine

• Increases Zombie Movement Speed by +35%.

Mikhail's Eye

• Survivors Injured by Tentacle Strike suffer from the Hemorrhage Status Effect until fully healed.
• The Blood Pools of Contaminated Survivors appear Bright Red.

Adrenaline Injector

• Gain a 10% Haste Status Effect whenever a Survivor uses a Vaccine for 5 seconds.
• Increases the Duration of Killer Instinct after a Survivor uses a Vaccine by +3 seconds.

This might seem like a lot for a yellow addon, but the Nemesis has absolutely no control over when this will happen.

Licker Tongue

• Increases the Duration of the Hindered Status Effect when becoming Contaminated by +0.75 seconds.

This rounds up the Hindered effect to 1 second of time in total. Right now, it's too low to be noticeable.

Plant 43 Vines

• Whenever a Survivor successfully opens a Supply Case, they are grabbed by vines and must succeed a series of difficult Skill Checks, or receive damage.
• Increases the opening time of Supply Cases by +4 seconds.

This would make Supply Cases function like mimics, but instead of being grabbed by tentacles, they would be grabbed by the Vines of Plant 43. The damage would work in the same way as Mimics do, so Healthy → Injured → Deep Wound → Dying.

T-Virus Sample

• Survivors within 6 meters of a Zombie trigger Killer Instinct.

Tyrant Gore

• Reduces the respawn time of destroyed Zombies by -7.5 seconds.
• Increases the gain to Mutation Rate after hitting Zombies with a Tentacle Strike by +150%.

Broken Recovery Coin

• Increases the number of Supply Cases in the Trial by +2.
• 3 Supply Cases will contain no Vaccine.

This addon will still reduce the number of Vaccines in the trial by 1, but in a more interesting way. It will cause 3 "fake" Supply Cases to spawn, which will have no Vaccine inside of them.

Depleted Ink Ribbon

• All Previous Effects are the same, except destroyed Zombies will spawn at Exit Switches when the gates are powered.

Having Zombies spawn inside the Exit Gate area isn't super useful, as they are very easy to dodge. Instead, they will spawn at Exit Switches in order to delay opening the Gates.

Jill's Sandwich

• The Auras of Survivors successfully unlocking a Supply Case or using a Vaccine are revealed to you for 12 seconds.

NE-Alpha Parasite

• Survivors suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect for 60 seconds after being hit by Tentacle Strike.
• This effect can be cancelled with a Vaccine.

This will cause the addon to apply on ALL hits, not just the first ones.

Iridescent Umbrella Badge

• Gain a stackable 1% Haste Status Effect for each Contaminated Survivor.
• Survivors suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 60 seconds after using a Vaccine.
• Supply Cases will regenerate their Vaccine 120 seconds after it has been used.

This addon will allow the Nemesis to grow in power as he Contaminates more people. However, to balance the strong effect, Survivors will eventually always be able to cure their Contamination. This also gives more chances for the Exposed effect to be capitalised on.

Shattered S.T.A.R.S. Badge

• Increases the base Zombie Movement Speed by +0.3m/s whenever a Generator is completed.
• Sets the Zombie Movement Speed to 2.5m/s for 60 seconds after a Generator is completed.

As well as the current effect, Zombies will receive a stacking movement speed buff as more and more Generators are completed.
