During the day this infected uses mutated growths and bone spikes to hang from cellings in dark zones, only attacking if you shine a light on it or put UV light in the room.

AT night these things climb buildings and stick to walls, acting as a ranged attacker aiming for anything in the sky.

reason for idea: feel once you get the glider night no longer as a fear factor, you can literally just glide around and ignore chases.

Also this would be a rather weak blue token dropper.

world changes with it.

new high up darkzones added which can only be reached by paraglider, these are marked by intestines covering the walls or strung between buildings, these work as places for the "spiders" to position for combat.

Introduction.

these would be introduced with a video of 3 citizens using gliders at night to avoid a horde bellow, only for one to be shot down by bone spikes, the other two evaiding one falling into the horde while the last escapes.

"There... there is a new one, watch out the skies are no longer safe at night."

Updated concept.

Name: NecroArachnid

Looks: The only thing even remotly human that remains is the torso. the rest is crystal residue and bone spikes. Their body glows with the shine of purple crystals. as they wait for their prey.

This isn't the only way they can look, some of them look like smaller Revenants, these are elite ones higher HP and armor, though they are missing their hands and feet replaced with crystal bone spikes.

Mechanics: these guys hang on cellings in dark zones during the day, or in their gore nests high up in the sky scrapers. at night they climb out on the walls. acting as crawler type zombies that see walls as floors, though they are faster moving then they look.

Once they set up, they have two modes of attack depending on their targets.

IF the target is in a paraglider they will open up with a Flak attack using their teeth as ranged bone spikes, this is a high speed balistic attack, before swapping to high velocity but slow fire rate chemical attacks that do poison and stamina damage.

IF their target is on the ground they will do slower velocity Chemical attacks similar to spitters, that do poison and stamina damage. And will not use the flak attack.

Are not only damaged by UV light but also angered by it, using a UV flashlight or BAR will cause them to attack the source, they can destroy UV bar lights. So watch out.

Lore: These things seem to be grabbing biters and taking them to their gore nests where the biters are turned into Either The arachnids or Spitters. Wiping out these nest is key to claiming the skies in an area. Each region of the central loop has a single nest, as to explain why they are only in the central loop.

Drops: blue infection tokens, mutagen samples, and crystal powder. Rarely full crystals.

#

world changes

Each area gains a Arachnoid nest in the central loop, these are high up and require paraglider and grapple hook to reach. once inside the player will have to use explosives to destroy the gore nest itself, it should be noted these things can spawn Volatiles to protect themselves.

With the destruction of the nests Arachnoid spawns will be heavily reduced in the region, as well as Volatiles at night which will have 50% of them replaced with screamers.

Introduction.

these would be introduced with a video of 3 citizens using gliders at night to avoid a horde bellow, only for one to be shot down by bone spikes, the other two dodging as ranged acid starts flying towards them.

the two survivors dodge and weave only for one to be taken out of the sky by a Volatile the others glider damaged as they crash land into a sky scraper. Turning on a UV bar, goop drips on them, as they look up several of the beasts are seen on the ceiling.

"There... there is a new one, watch out the skies are no longer safe at night."

#

alt deign idea.

They are the next stage of Revenants. Biters taken to the nests are converted into a smaller more agile creature with a ranged focus unlike their big brothers. They use their "wings" to latch onto walls.

Looks, a human sized revenant that has its hands and feet removed and replaced with crystals and bone spikes.

((note this is a WIP so constantly changing.))

#

((change note, updated attack types on WIP post, added the alt design to WIP post.))

Amazing idea my guy

warm blaze
#

Painful

#

Reminds me of the forest

wraith mango
warm blaze
#

Oh god

#

But yeah this seems a lot like the pinky/spitter I think they where from the forest

#

I remember finding those guys for the first time on the forest

#

Also just gonna let you know it's better to suggest when suggestion systems back up

#

Since this is for support

wraith mango
#

Already noted and talked about, This is more a hold until that comes back.

sinful axle
#

Yo this idea is amazing

pure tiger
#

this is needed

wraith mango
#

First attack would be pure damage, where as follow ups would be poison and stamina damage, not a glider cancel but a "take evasive action" type thing where you need to start moving and planning a path.

#

Yeah that part of the idea was dropped hard after realizing a few things. one of them being it would be insta death if it happened high up.

#

Which isn't fair in any way.

#

They would be basic spitters, not aim bot, dodged if you know what you are doing, their hardest to dodge attack would be their opener with the tooth flak.

#

Think of them like this.

VS air they fire a flak attack then volitile range attacks.

Vs ground they are a standard spitter type infected all while stuck on a wall.

#

OR celling... or running at you like a horror monster.

pure tiger
#

leave that to techland as they only take most of the ideas and then make it fair to the players

#

overall the idea is amazing

wraith mango

#

W

#

we need more types of infected

wraith mango
#

Agreed.

#

And the AA and ranged sections are where tehy are the weakest right now.

pure tiger
#

I wish the revenant was a roaming infected

#

chases you faster than any infected

pure tiger

in the trailer it was on a rooftops edge

Should throw it into the suggestions section of their website if you havent already

#

very clever , (Spider)

wraith mango
#

hmm, hope the suggestions area comes back soon.

warm blaze
#

Prob won't till next year

wraith mango
#

well then this will be here until then.

wraith mango
#

Wish ideas where open at least the new form gives me hope I can post this and the heavy armor soon.

warm blaze
#

Yeah, I wanted to suggest some more stuff as well tbf

pure tiger
#

Infected lurking on ceilings were already a thing

#

they just got cut

wraith mango
pure tiger
#

we dont have that many interiors

#

infected would be very regional

wraith mango
#

yep, limited to the central loop.

#

IT even states that in the idea. as the central loop has a lot of buildings that are just empty skyscrapers with holes in them ETC.

crisp spoke
#

Tbf some more regional infected wouldnt be the worst addition

wraith mango
#

Yeah it would give each region a good flair.

wraith mango
#

Hmm makes you wonder what the other regional zombies would be.

crisp spoke
#

Pretty difficult for anything interesting, the regions really dont differ that much so its hard to say why one variant wouldnt be elsewhere

Ig maybe something in the chemicals, where they melted and fused with the ground to act as a sort of bear trap for anyone running over

Introducing some of the dl1 models of the variants could also be cool, but because of the whole chemical lore thatd probably need to be outside the walls

Would be nice to see a night hunter, chase level 5 with a touch of a Nemesis system but thats not a regional thing (im struggling with ideas for regional stuff)

Gladiator infected, carnage hall specific, either infected that have been outfitted by the hall or dead Gladiators. Would be stronger virals with weapons forcibly attached to their hands

wraith mango
#

hmm, well the starting area, could have a unique infected of old military zombies, like Zombies in full UN armor these being near skeletal biters with balistic face masks, helmets and vests. Completely immune to ranged weapons, which would explain why no bows are in that area.

wraith mango
#

hmm surprised the ammount of "likes" this has gotten here. even though it is just a holding place.

pure tiger
#

They should do one like the ome from into the radius (spawn)

wraith mango
#

Ome?

pure tiger
wraith mango
#

What is Ome?

pure tiger
#

Meant

wraith mango
#

Stil lcan't make sense of the statement.

stiff snow
#

Good idea will be nice to see new enemie, not another variant

wraith mango
#

Yeah having some new types would be really fun.

Spider. Rib cage spike zumbies

#

nuh uhh

But think of the challange and fun they would add to parkor and combat.

"reason for idea: feel once you get the glider night no longer as a fear factor, you can literally just glide around and ignore chases." Luckily, I'm not like that. I am 100% hardcore street fighter pepe_uncykek

wraith mango
#

Actually surprised with how much attention this has gotten, wonder if techland has seen it because of that?

#

Eh still have to wait for idea area to come back online.

dire sphinx

#

that image is strange.

wraith mango
#

Suggestion submission needs to hurry up and return, so I cna post this.

dire sphinx

Got two other infected ideas but both require another thing.

one being PMC infected.

Remains of the private security the rich used during the fall. these guys have heavy plated armor, shark bite suits, and chainmail. They are damn near impossible to take out with sharp melee weapons but blunt ones do bonus damage. they are notable by their NoDs which shine 4 green lights that flicker.

PMC infected are also weak to fire so a molotov can easily deal with them. Come in biter, viral, and volitile forms. the volitile form has only remains of their gear, all 3 types have a chance to have a det pack, that explodes on death. Idiots thought once infected you die, sadly they are still alive.

the most notable being the NoDs the PMCs wear, they can be rarely dropped from any of the types and are a good flashlight alt replacing your flashlight key with night vision which can be upgraded at craft masters. Note you can always swap back to a flashlight at any time via inventory menu.
