Viking Killer [Killer Suggestion]
We have a Samurai Killer, we have a knight killer, we are missing the final piece of the grand Trifecta and that is… a Viking Killer!
Yes, I ask that Behavior make a Viking killer with… well… perhaps Dual Axes as weapon of choice, but I can see an axe and shield leading to some interesting powers as well. Maybe even a great two handed Dane Axe could even be called as a weapon of choice.
Personally, I just think it would be cool to play as a Viking Killer, hunting down survivors as one of history's most brutal and savage killers, one that inspired much fear in Europe. I have no idea what powers they would possess or how their perks would work.
So, community… thoughts? Do you like the idea of a viking killer? What perks would they have? What powers? Any unique mechanics on how they would function? Please share your thoughts below! Thank you for reading : )

i would love a viking killer there are many interesting concept bhvr could do since vikings had a very broad range of diffrent fighting styles.
but i think its super important that if they make a viking killer they dont try to link him to the nordic religion since we still have a growing community of old norse pagans and they avoided relegios themes with the samurai and the knight.
and i would like to say one thing to your describtion of vikings. while they where certainly brutal and brought fear into christian europe i would not call them savage killers. not that i think that you think they where savages but thats what many people think so we should avoid such describtions

I really want a viking killer. Give me some cool skins and it's my new main no matter the power.

A Viking killer sounds cool!
Something in the powers the viking should have a horn to blow in to activate a special power that everyone hears.
That power could be that the killer sees aura or the killer instinct of survivors within his terror radius for a limited time.
The viking could have a little bigger terror radius than normal killers to inflict fear.
I can see a pretty brutal Mori with this idea.
I don't get more ideas, Was hoping that you had it all sorted out. I get exited to read new killer ideas or survivor ideas.

A Valkyrie skin would be sick and make a lot of sense

Would some kind of Draugr Viking work with this? I know they're Nordic in relation.

As a member of the old norse pagan community, I admire the savagery of my ancestors. Plus denying the acts of savagery committed by a people is an insult to history. You don't have to approve of it, but it happened. I respect the brutality because it was typical of the times they lived in, it was the norm. You can't apply modern standards to the past. Different times and all that.
That's what I was thinking it should be, some sort of Draugr would be sick.

What I want to say is i would not call it savage sure they where brutal warriors but not savages. They where well trained people that had incredible knowledge where it buildings medicine or there ships i would not call that savages and i would like to avoid that word because it is mostly used in a negative light when the christian world tslks about the vinings even so they where just as brutal a

Sticks and stones my friend. I am not going to censor my own language on the matter.
Anyway that's beside the point, there are some really cool, brutal things that they could do with a viking killer in this game. Personally, I still want a dual axe berserker type killer, or even dip into the realm of the Ulfhednar, the wolf berserkers.0 -
Yeah that aside a dual axe bersekrr would be pretty dope i would like something like that too

I actually had an idea that combines two of mine together in regards to killer.
The viking killer could be an Ulfhednar, a wolf berserker with a special phase where they could potentially turn into a werewolf with increased movement speed, lunge, recovery time, but its like a temporary phase in their kit.
Here is how it could even function which would make it very sinister indeed. Basically its built off a rage meter, when you can't find any survivors that rage meter builds up rather quickly. When you're in chase it builds up slowly. Getting pallet stunned, flashbanged, and missing close swings on survivors during a chase will increase your rage meter more quickly as the frustration grows.
When the rage meter maxes out, you were-wolf out, the wolf-skin your Ulfhednar wears merges into their flesh and they become a bipedal werewolf, again with increased movement speed, lunge range, and missed attack recovery for X amount of time, which is how long it takes for the rage meter to decay.
I was thinking the base power could be as simple as a double axe swing lunge, with the werewolf's version being something akin to Dracula's wolf pounce ability but again, with faster recovery time on it.0 -
Yes please...
