The blind but terrifying Listener
The mutants are terrifying, and all create very unique gameplay. The
Listener’s head is only partially formed, he’s completely blind but super
sensitive to noise and movement, but with a fully loaded Sentinel pistol
he’s as deadly as they come. Dare you stand still and wait for him to pass
with the other horrors that lurk onboard?
The horrifying inevitability of the Bloodhound
Standing still is something you absolutely can’t do when there is a Bloodhound
on your tail. He never stops following you. Even if you run to the other side of
the deck and hide in a dark corner he will keep following and eventually find
you. There is no escape. The only saving grace is that he ambles so slowly, but
if he gets close, your only real option is to run.
The explosive charge of a fireball
The mysterious fireball will test your nerve and your skill. Shimmering
stealthily in the darkness, he bursts in to flames and runs screaming right for
you, exploding in a ball of napalm. Running isn’t an option, but a well-timed
shield might just save you…
Turn foe to friend with ivy serum
But you’re not a sitting duck, and you can fight back with an arsenal of
upgradable gear and weapons. My favourite is the ivy serum. Administered at
close range, the Ivy Serum will convert even the most fearsome mutant in to your
sworn guardian. With a goofy smile on their face, they will fight to the death
to protect you!
Pin attackers to walls with the harpoon-firing Valkyrie
Another option is to visit a Firearms Fabricator and make a Valkyrie, the
hyper-powered harpoon gun packs a massive punch. It might only have limited ammo
but it has the power to lift mutants off their feet and pin them to walls. So
satisfying!
