Inflatable Airbag is an External Trait that belongs to the Fire Investigator, Florian Brand. As an external trait, it is a passive ability that the character starts the game with.
Official Details[]
Description[]
Florian carries 2 asbestos airbags and a utility box filled with chemical solutions.
Inflation: Florian injects chemical solutions into his airbag and releases it. This creates a chemical reaction that generates a large amount of gas, rapidly inflating the airbag to expand according to its surroundings. When the airbag expands, it swiftly repels all characters within range.
Repulsion: Florian's airbags are highly elastic. When inflated to a certain degree and then squeezed by a Survivor, they can propel the survivor up to 9.6 meters.
Deflation: Florian has designed an easy-to-operate exhaust method for his airbags. Survivors can deflate the inflated airbags, causing them to rapidly shrink and lose their size. The deflated airbags will remain in place, and only Florian, who is familiar with their structure, can pick them up again to replenish his airbag count.
Destruction: By virtue of the special materials used in their creation, Florian's airbags have excellent resilience and can only be destroyed when struck with 1 charged Hunter attack. Their formidable repulsive properties will also cause the Hunter to recover more slowly after attacking. However, destroyed airbags cannot be recovered.
Expertise
Florian's expertise allows him an airbag repulsion cooldown of 10 seconds, while ordinary Survivors have a cooldown of 15 seconds.
Statistics[]
- Count (Initial/Max): 2/2
- Cooldown: 10 second(s)
Gameplay[]
The Fire Investigator can starts with 2 Airbags at the start of the game that cannot be recharged. He can launch them at the area he wants and the Airbag will expand, pushing both Survivors and Hunters away from the bag.
The expanded Airbag can be served as an obstacle, blocking both Survivors and Hunters from entering. However, the Survivors can use this to propel themselves further by squeezing towards the Airbag to gain distance from the Hunter and has to wait for 15 seconds before they can be used again, whereas the Fire Investigator only needs 10 seconds.
Both the Fire Investigator and the Survivor can deflate the airbag to make space or for the Fire Investigator to pick it up and recover. As for the Hunters, a charged attack is required to permanently destroy the Expanded Airbag or they can directly destroy the deflated Airbag left unintended on the ground, making it impossible for the Fire Investigator to recover it.
Other Details[]
- Both the Fire Investigator and the Survivors must run towards the Airbag for a short time to trigger the Replusion.
- As the Airbag expands and repels all characters, it can reset the Hunter's Attack recovery.
- The Tram in Eversleeping Town can also destroy the Airbag.
