It imitates all of your movements. For example, If I (after executing this ability) run towards you to kill you, and you on your screen are seeing 3 or 4 things like me (you are about to run out of morale points), then?, who am I? lol, you better win the deception contest before I'm on you. If I'm crawling on the roof, my fake/s will do exactly the same, although neither crawling nor wall-walking is very recommended for the Giger-alien player since It's a very slow alien, even more slow if he crawls/wall-walks, as It's already stated in Its own section of the old idea.
That's more or less the idea behind this ability, just decpetion, taking advantage of the morale damage you're constantly doing on the marines. The more morale points a marine/s has/have lost, the more advantage this ability will give you when dealing with him/them.
Obviously, not only shooting to the "ghosts" will reveal that they are actually false..., imagine that while I'm walking around (or just coming for you), there is one marine or any other alien next to me or to the fakes..., If a fake runs into something, an alien, a marine or even a wall, It will become "translucent", giving you a clue about what It really is.
All fakes are next to the giger unit separated from just a matter of centimeters, and imitate anything the giger alien player does.
This is an ability exclusive to the giger-alien, the one who I want It to be focused on "psychological warfare" now more than ever. Of course this is not Its only new ability, there are more.
This is one of the new abilities for the alien WARRIOR, who will become the warmachine of the hive, and has seen lots of his properties in battle and more things changed. (and this will be my final spoil
):
Spoiler:
- "BERZERKER": The hostility displayed by the alien warrior has no boundaries. "YOU DON'T SEE THEM FUCKING EACH OTHER OVER FOR A GODDAMN PERCENTAGE" might
not be a true statement in some certain situations, and the responsible for that famous and memorable quote could have certainly been very much
mistaken. The veteran warrior is an alien that hasn't exactly reached a superior status because he is more handsome than the others or something like that.
The warrior that becomes a veteran is a truly vicious creature whose aggressiveness, not only to the outsiders to the hive, but also to his own brothers
in arms is something that doesn't go unnoticed to all of them.
All those warrior players who reach the status of "veteran alien warrior" will unlock this ACTIVE ability; when executed, you will be allowed to kill one of your mates
(only warrior mates) that still haven't molted into veteran warriors (regular alien warrior players). His death will give you 2x the ammount of health
points you currently have (if you currently have 100HP, then you have 200HP now), and you now will inflict even more damage to the humans than your
current veteran status can deal, which is already very high. To be succeded when executing this ability on one of your mates requieres
a grab move+headbite animation. The ability must be executed before you grab and finish your mate; once executed, you will have only 5 seconds seconds to
succesfuly perform a grab+headbite on one of your mates..., if you fail and can't do in time, the ability will enter the normal cooldown state which
takes 3 minutes no matter you have been succesful on killing your mate or not. Assasinated warrior players will automatically respawn. Once the berserker
warrior is killed he just respawns as a regular verteran warrior again, but his respawn will take 20 seconds instead of zero. The warrior player that is ABOUT TO BECOME A VICTIM of one veteran warrior who tries to kill him can put up resistance and escape the grab-attack of the veteran by beign successful at one QTE that will suddenly pop up on screen.
Berzerker warriors can inflict some little morale damage on the marines witnessing the butchering on their mates. The more marines you kill in pressence of their mates while beign berzerker, the higher the morale damage on them.
