The Nemesis

A virus that causes extreme mutations and can be transferred to others. Heightens aggression and strength within The Nemesis.

SPECIAL ATTACK: Tentacle Strike

Press and hold the Power button to charge an attack. Once charged, tap the Attack button. Hitting a Survivor with Tentacle Strike afflicts them with the Contaminated status effect and increases your Mutation Rate. If a Survivor is already Contaminated, Tentacle Strike damages their health and increases Mutation Rate.

Vaccine found in Supply Cases cures Contamination. Their availability is limited. After using a Vaccine, the Survivor’s location is revealed by Killer Instinct.

Mutation Rate: Your power expands as your Mutation Rate grows. At Mutation Rate 2, hitting a dropped pallet or breakable wall will special-break it. At Mutation Rate 3, Tentacle Strike’s range and movement speed increase when it's fully charged. The T-Virus icon displays the current Mutation Rate.

SPECIAL ENEMY: Zombies

If a zombie hits a Survivor, they inflict them with the Contaminated effect. If already Contaminated, their health will be damaged.

Zombies can be destroyed by a Tentacle Strike to increase your Mutation Rate, and Survivors can destroy them with pallets. Destroyed zombies eventually respawn.
