Lore
In a bid to create super soldiers for the military, the British government turned to a scientific pharmaceutical corporation known as the Horzine Biotech for their expertise. Subjects were subjected to a grueling regimen of muscle growth stimulants, resulting in their transformation into hulking, monstrous figures. However, this process came at a grave cost, as the subjects became engulfed in a relentless fury, their aggression reaching extreme levels.

To mitigate the threat posed by these uncontrollable beings, a solution was devised. A specialized device was affixed to their chests, administering suppressants to temper their hostility. Additionally, their formidable hands were encased in unyielding gauntlets to enforce restraint. Ironically, it was this very setup that inadvertently furnished them with their signature weapons. These gauntlets, initially intended for containment, proved devastatingly effective for pounding flesh, hence earning them the moniker 'Fleshpound'. The inaugural Fleshpound shattered its confinement, leaving a wake of devastation in the facility and unleashing a horde of Zeds, ultimately breaking free from their chains and into the city streets. Only the Patriarch, along with a select few, possess the knowledge to maintain control over these formidable mutants, given their frenzied state.

Recognizing the potential in the Fleshpound and its grimly efficient methods, the Entity saw fit to enlist it into its ranks. Engineered by Horzine Biotech as a genetically modified super soldier, the Fleshpound's perspective is starkly straightforward: life or death. Despite its intimidating appearance, the Fleshpound often exudes an eerie calm, except, of course, when provoked. Armed with razor-sharp, rotating gauntlets, it wields them skillfully to rend flesh asunder. When incited, however, it transforms into a veritable juggernaut. The luminous emanation from its chest administers potent doses of testosterone, unleashing a relentless, predatory pursuit that ceases only once its prey has been claimed.

Weapon: Spiked Gauntlets
A pair of spiked gauntlets, each featuring a series of vicious, serrated blades. These bio-organic, metallic appendages extend from the Fleshpound's massive forearms, designed with the sole purpose of rending his victims apart. The rotating, razor-sharp edges of the gauntlets emit a nightmarish, metallic hum as they grind against each other, creating an ominous, spine-chilling soundtrack to the Fleshpound's relentless pursuit.

Power: Fleshpound’s Rage
This hulking monstrosity starts the Trial in a dormant state, shuffling at a reduced movement speed with a greatly decreased terror radius. However, once the Fleshpound establishes line of sight with at least one Survivor, its horrifying transformation commences. The Fleshpound's Rage meter charges automatically as long as it maintains line of sight with a Survivor. The closer the Survivor, the faster the meter fills. If a Survivor leaves the Fleshpound's line of sight, the meter gradually depletes. Furthermore, receiving a stun from a pallet or a flashlight automatically fills your Fleshpound’s Rage meter by 15%. Once your Fleshpound’s Rage meter reaches Full Rage at 100%, you gain the ability to manually activate it at your discretion.

Special Ability: Unstoppable Force
When the Fleshpound's Rage is full, the killer can press and hold the Power button to shut off its inhibitor, plunging it into an uncontrollable rage. As the Fleshpound activates this horrifying ability, it releases a thunderous roar that reverberates throughout the Trial area. It enters a frenzied animation, violently pounding the ground repeatedly and becoming visible to all Survivors during the activation process (not while the ability is active).

In this Enraged state, the Fleshpound becomes a menacing force to be reckoned with. Its rotating, bladed gauntlets emit an ominous, roaring sound as it charges forward, moving 75% faster than its base movement speed. Survivors must keep their wits about them as the Fleshpound can only be steered using the mouse or right analog stick, with the killer's control limited to its direction. Any Survivor struck by the spiked gauntlets instantly enters the dying stage, regardless of their prior condition. The Fleshpound's wrath extends to environmental obstacles as well. If the enraged killer comes into contact with a dropped pallet or a breakable wall, it obliterates them, experiencing only minimal downtime when doing so. Any attempt to stun or blind the Fleshpound while it's in this enraged state only results in the ability's duration being completely refreshed, making it an even more fearsome presence on the Trial grounds.

However, this relentless fury eventually takes its toll. After the duration of the Fleshpound's Rage expires or a Survivor falls victim to its onslaught, the killer returns to its dormant state. During this period, the inhibitor reactivates, allowing the Fleshpound to regain its regular control. The Fleshpound is slowed by 75% of its base movement speed for more than 35 seconds following the cessation of its full rage, creating a window of vulnerability for the Survivors to capitalize on.

Mori Animation
The survivor lies on the ground, desperately attempting to crawl away. You thrust your chest out and let out a menacing roar. The survivor, filled with terror, turns to look at you, and in a swift, brutal motion, you commence a relentless assault, pounding them into the floor with the same ferocity seen during your rage animation.

New Survivor: Mr Foster
Mr. Foster ventured into the world of day trading following a less-than-stellar education at a typical English private school, where he was often met with discouragement and low expectations from the school's career advisors. Unperturbed by their criticisms, Foster embarked on a path that seemed an unlikely fit for him. Surprisingly, he discovered a knack for day trading, effortlessly amassing substantial wealth and secretly reveling in his newfound success, all the while maintaining an aloof demeanor that concealed any hint of job satisfaction.

As you might probably can guess from the type of person he is, Mr. Foster possessed an irreverent streak, often directing his biting wit and verbal jabs at authority figures, which earned him a reputation as a cunning and clever individual with a sharp, sardonic sense of humor. His distinctive style, marked by impeccable taste in fashion and an impressive collection of cars, could either cast him as a sophisticated, sharp-witted individual or a self-assured but somewhat arrogant character, depending on one's perspective. The choice, as always, remains yours.

Mr. Foster comes with the following new perks:

Daily Investment
''"I could do with some cash; anyone?" - Mr. Foster''
 * You know the importance of strategic investments, and apply this mindset to survival in the trial. When you begin the trial, you receive a one-time bonus of 10/15/20% extra Bloodpoints in the Boldness category. For each minute you stay in the trial, Daily Investment accumulates 2% additional bonus Bloodpoints in the Boldness category, up to a maximum of 30% extra Bloodpoints. These additional Bloodpoints can be earned through actions that display courage, such as taking protection hits, rescuing other survivors, and escaping chases.

Exploiting the Stupid
''"This is what happens when Nerds run the world." - Mr. Foster''
 * You have a knack for capitalizing on the mistakes of others and learning how to exploit the Killer to your advantage. After stunning the killer with a pallet, you receive a token, up to a maximum of 4 tokens. Each token allows you to perform an extended vault or window vault 20%/25%/30% faster. You lose all of your tokens upon getting hit by the Killer.

Support Welder
''"Tighter than a duck's arse." - Mr. Foster''
 * Your expertise with welding equipment gives you a unique edge in the trial. After being within the Killer's Terror Radius for 40/30/20 seconds, Support Welder activates. During the next chase, you can interact with certain environmental objects within the Trial to temporarily modify them. Press the Active Ability to repair a destroyed pallet, barricade a nearby window or doorway (which takes 3 seconds to break), or rig a locker to create a Loud Noise Notification when entered. These modifications last until the Killer interacts with the modified object, revealing your Aura for 4 seconds. Using a Toolbox increases the speed and efficiency of the aforementioned actions by 50%/75%/100%.

New Survivor: DJ Scully
Scully, often hailed as the hippest Dutch underground DJ of his generation, possesses an irresistible charm that draws admirers from all walks of life. It's a phenomenon that baffles even the most level-headed individuals. His appeal to women is nearly magnetic, transcending rationality. Men, in theory, should resent him for this alone, yet they find themselves unable to resist his magnetic presence, for Scully is the embodiment of pure, unadulterated fun. Just before the outbreak unleashed chaos upon the world, Scully had wrapped up a colossal DJ set within the eerie confines of a long-abandoned insane asylum situated in the northern outskirts of London. When the Zeds, as they're known, began their relentless quest to feast on humanity, Scully found himself thrust into a situation for which he was ill-prepared in terms of combat training. However, his innate quick-wittedness and agility served as his saving grace.

Throughout his life, Scully has always struggled to take life too seriously, and the apocalypse hasn't changed that aspect of his personality. Instead, it has only amplified his carefree disposition, albeit with one significant twist: he's now exceptionally skilled at dispatching the monstrous invaders. His talent for fending off the undead hordes is so remarkable that it has given birth to outlandish rumors. Some speculate that he must be a former member of the special forces. However, for those in the know, it's just another facet of the enigmatic Scully's charming, and somewhat humorous, personality.

DJ Scully comes with the following new perks:

Boon: Party Animal
"PARTY TIME!!!" - DJ Scully

Last Night's Hangover
"Ah, ya hate a guy who can't handle his drugs!" - DJ Scully
 * Your resilience is fueled by the memory of surviving through the wildest nights. After being unhooked or healed from the dying state, gain a 2/3/4% bonus to healing, repairing, and sabotage speeds for each Survivor action you have completed in the last 60 seconds. However, once this effect expires, your exhaustion is increased by 30 seconds. The bonus lasts for 60/70/80 seconds or until used.

ZED Time
"Hey, why don't I kill you, and make the world a better place?" - DJ Scully
 * Your uncanny sense of time manipulation helps him and his team anticipate danger. Upon successfully performing a Skill Check, ZED Time activates for the next 2/3/4 seconds. During ZED Time, the Killer's movement speed is reduced by 3%, and your movement speed is increased by 3%. ZED Time has a cooldown of 60/45/20 seconds.
