New killer concept: The grief (The Babadook)
A haunting, stealth-oriented Killer. The Grief uses his Sorrow Radius and Shadow Form to stalk prey in absolute silence, manifesting only at the final second to strike with an unnatural, reaching grasp.
Difficulty: Hard
Killer Attributes
- Movement Speed: 4.6 m/s (115%) / 4.8 m/s (120% in Shadow Form)
- Terror Radius: 32 Meters (Non-directional Sorrow Radius, the sound of weeping, crying, hulking and screams instead of the original terror radius sound)
- Height: Tall (Narrow profile)
Weapon: The Razor Talons
Long, needle-like obsidian claws. When the Babadook strikes, the impact is sharp and sudden, followed by a jittery, frame-by-frame cleaning animation which stretches out like a shadow.
Power: LET ME IN
The Babadook is an omnipresent shadow that exists in the periphery of vision.
Special Ability: Shadow Form
The Babadook begins the trial in Shadow Form.
- Movement: Move at 120% speed.
- Stealth: You have no collision, no Red Stain, and produce no audible footsteps or breathing.
- Wall-Crawl: Hold the Active Ability button while facing a wall to glide vertically, allowing you to traverse different levels or cling to ceilings to ambush Survivors.
Special Attack: Manifest Strike
While in Shadow Form, press and hold the Attack button to manifest.
- Slow-Motion Transition: The Babadook "freezes" and begins to materialize in a jittery, slow-motion animation lasting 0.75 seconds. During this time, your movement speed is reduced.
- Elastic Reach: Your shadow stretches unnaturally. The lunge distance of this attack is 1.5x longer than a standard M1 attack.
- Impact: Once fully materialized, the strike snaps into physical form. If successful, you enter the physical state. If you miss, you return to Shadow Form after a brief cooldown.
Special Condition: Manifested Isolation
While The Grief is in a chase, he is only physical to his current target. Other Survivors cannot bodyblock or interfere with the chase, as they will pass through his shadow.
Teachable Perks
Perk | Description |
|---|---|
Weight of the Past | The burden of progress is heavy. Every time a Generator is completed, all Survivors suffer from a 10% Hindered status effect for 10 seconds. |
Unbearable Loss | Death leaves an agonizing void. For every Survivor sacrificed or killed, all remaining Survivors receive a permanent, stackable 5% penalty to Repairing, Healing, and Cleansing speeds (Max 15%). |
Lurking Shadow | You thrive in the corners of their eyes. Hitting a Survivor after being out of their line of sight for at least 8 seconds afflicts that Survivor with the Broken status effect for 60 seconds. |
