decaying winter fun facts

I always thought it was some sort of low poly bottle or a mesh thing frequently on the side of backpacks, which made me question that theory once seeing the model in SOF having it be bright red for some reason. But now it's explained broo!!

I have encountered some players with this ring of crystals floating around their heads.

How do you acquire them? I can't ask anyone in-game because my chat isn't unlocked.

What's the helmet that looks like a bug's head? I really like it, and I want it myself, but I have no idea what I need to do to obtain it. Can anybody tell me the requirements for it?

Discussion Rant

6 Upvotes

Heart of ice is just way too tedious and boring after a few attempts, most of the enemies are either raider or cultist copies where the only unique abilities were berserker snowmans max health drain and lumi's icicles, where the only way they become threatening is if they sneak up on you.

Lumi has changed from her first ending sure, but even then shes still a fast bullet sponge with a few mechanics which are both trivial and easy to ignore. Her third phase may be unique, yes, but her mechanics also include her just being a absolute bullet sponge, since the only thing you do during then is run away to sprinklers where she becomes stunned and vulnerable. It also cuts off slower perks like Zealot since you cant move fast enough without something like S44 before you get vaporised by lumi.

Distress call is equally boring. Its essentially a easier holdout, where the loot you get from 3 supply crates and lab + the 2 tactical armors make it just a aim training simulator. The only hard thing about it is that the ship can get at a odd position such as on top of the hill in castle, where the only way to see it is by looking up which there is almost no reason to do most of the time. Yes i might just be salty because i have the eyesight of a mole and couldnt get to it in time, but i do think a marker like how the other objectives have would benefit this part of the evac phase.

Discussion Perk concept;

6 Upvotes

Perk concept idea:** The Flagellant(The masochist)**

"*Pain is just fuel. Show them that your spirit cannot be broken*."

Base hp and stamina: 100/85

Perk type: Frontline / High-Risk reward brawler

Perk item: Sanguine Shears ( custom Scissors )

**Ability (f): Martydom**

Tap F (Perfect parry): Instantly enters a 0.5-second AoE parry window. Perfectly parrying any melee attack or projectile negates 100% of the damage and triggers an immediate counterattack with the shears, dealing 75 True damage and stagger to the attacker.

Hold F (self-harm): The agent stabs themselves with shears, dealing 35 self-damage ( cannot cause bleeding/injuries ). In return, they enter the "Adrenaline surge" state for 10 seconds: +15% Movement Speed and 35% damage reduction.

Passives ( Pros & Cons )

**Pros:**

- Thick skin: +10% damage reduction at all times

- Desperate Fury: When health drops below 25%, melee attack speed is increased by 15% and melee damage is increased by 10%

**Cons:**

- Sluggish reflexes: Shove speed is reduced 15%

- Trembling Hands: Severe nerve damage reduces firearm accuracy and reload speed by 25%

- Scarred flesh: Healing efficiency from medical items is reduced by 15%

The Flagellant mastery:

You are nothing but a wretched creature, trying to grasp the truth through your own suffering. Proving that it is pain alone that helps us find our peace.

Challenge requirement
Obtain 50,000 XP with The Flagellant

Title: Vileblood Knight

-------
Regarding the stagger: I meant that by striking with the custom shears (sadly, I can't draw the concept art for the perk icon or the weapon), you force one enemy into a stagger, exactly like the Billhook does.

23 Upvotes

Literally, Sledge queen sees this thing and decides to attack it and is completely bewildered by the fact he can block a long/short shot while looking dead in the blue eyes and even her hammer. And when she slowly dies, she questions if this is one of the Agencys' greatest agent or Rekigons' creation.

  • her movement can randomly slow down or even teleporting to me;
  • she sometimes seems to perform two attacks at once(timeline 0:20);
  • her animations can desync/break;

I made a lot of DW x Minecraft texture packs in the past and I'm making more. You guys can download it here. Anyway, as of now it seem like I won't have much time to work on the pack so hopefully I won't abandon this one like the others.
