The Deathslinger
Power — The Redeemer
SPECIAL ABILITY: THE REDEEMER
Press and hold the Power button to Aim Down Sights.
SPECIAL WEAPON: SPEARGUN
Press the Attack button during ADS to shoot The Redeemer, launching a high-speed chained projectile that can spear Survivors within 18 metres, allowing The Deathslinger to reel them in.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: REELING IN
Press and hold the Power button while a Survivor is speared by The Redeemer to reel them in towards you:
- Walking backwards increases the Reeling speed.
- Speared Survivors struggling against the pull of the chain slows the Reeling speed.
Once a Survivor is close enough to you, press the Attack button to break the chain and strike the Survivor with a Basic Attack:
- Causes the Survivor to suffer from the Deep Wound
Status Effect.
The Deathslinger can break the chain manually by attacking at any point during the Reeling-in process.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: BREAKING THE CHAIN
Whenever the chain of The Redeemer experiences tension or collides with the environment, it experiences stress that will eventually cause it to break.
The more stress, the faster it will break:
- Causes The Deathslinger to be stunned for 2.7 seconds.
- Causes the Speared Survivor to break free, but suffer from the Injured State and Deep Wound.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: RELOADING
Press and hold the Secondary Power button to reload The Redeemer after every shot:
- Reloading takes 2.6 seconds to complete.
- Reduces his Movement speed to 3.08 m/s.
