Gameplay[]

Attacks

Fire command: Pulse Rifle 

  • Works differently from other weapons. When an enemy is shot once, they are briefly stunned and take zero damage. However if an enemy is shot twice quickly, they will explode with an electric gib effect, damaging nearby enemies, as well as destroying terrain and triggering barrels if nearby. The explosion can cause a chain reaction.
    • If the rifle blows up a dead enemy, normal damage rules apply and can blow up other living enemies if there are any nearby.
    • Useful for combating large melee swarms like Xenomorphs and Facehuggers.
  • Stronger enemies such as Bruisers/Executioners will require multiple successive shots.
  • While shooting at terrain, it takes 1-2 shots to break a block of soil and more to destroy stronger blocks, but the splash radius causes it to break two at once. Does not cause any form of electric gib.
  • Damage: From zero damage to 10 damage per successful electric gib.
  • Range: Pulse has a range of 9 blocks. 1-block splash radius at max range or around the target.
  • Rate of Fire: About 3 shots per second when held, 10 shots per second when spamming fire.

Special command: Flamethrower

  • Unleashes a wall of flame igniting flammable enemies.
  • This attack can hit bosses multiple times making it extremely effective for primary bosses such as Satan in his True Form and Terrorkrawler.
  • Does not deal much damage, though fire generally scares enemies away.
    • Ammunitions: 3.
    • Damage: About 15.
    • Range: About 15 blocks horizontally and around 3 blocks vertically.
    • If you can spam this attack fast enough, it won't use ammo.
    • When fired at point-blank against indestructible terrain like steel, it will not be consumed, nor will it fire.

Melee Command: Knife

  • Damage: About 2 per swing.
  • Fire rate: 4 swings per second.

Trivia[]

  • According to a PxlByte interview she's based on Richard's favorite action movie (Aliens) and actress (Sigourney Weaver).
  • The pulse rifle's stun will NOT reset Bruiser/Executioner attack delays. Meaning that if not shot quickly they will get to retaliate.
  • The Executioner's attack is almost the same as her special.
