Mysterious Stranger

by nitsujader

A Fallout: New Vegas homage. Sometimes, when the fighting gets rough, a trench-coated stranger appears: he one-shots your target, tips his fedora, and vanishes into the smoke. A rare treat with a 60 second cooldown, so every visit stays special.

🕵️ Mysterious Stranger

A stranger tips his fedora and vanishes.

A Fallout: New Vegas homage for your factory's rougher moments. Every hit you land on an enemy has a small chance (about 0.5%) that the Mysterious Stranger steps in:

Your target drops dead instantly. The kill, and the kill stats, are yours.
Flying text appears over your head: a stranger tips his fedora and vanishes.
A short sting plays, chat confirms the visit, and he is gone.
Yes, it works on demolishers.

He never overstays his welcome: a 60 second cooldown keeps his visits rare enough to stay special.
