Revision as of 07:09, 11 October 2021
Something, or rather someone, is here now. I've never seen this... Shape before. A man hiding behind a mask. He comes with a determination. But more worrying, he comes with an apparent grasp of the hunt. He does not strike me as someone who even went unwillingly to this place. Is there more to this being than I can fathom? | ||
~ Unknown (Potentially Benedict Baker) |
I met him, fifteen years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding; and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realised that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil. | ||
~ Dr. Sam Loomis |
Template:InfoKiller Michael Myers or "The Shape" is one of 35 Template:IconLink currently featured in Template:IconLink.
He was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER II: The HALLOWEEN® Chapter, a Chapter DLC released on 25 October 2016.
He originates from the 1978 Horror Movie franchise with the same name, Halloween.
Overview
The Shape is a haunting Killer, intent on monitoring Survivors from a distance to feed his Power. The more he stalks, the stronger and faster he becomes.
His personal Perks, Template:IconLink, Template:IconLink, and Template:IconLink, select one Survivor to become his Obsession and will trigger deadly effects based on the Obsession Status.
His Perks are focused around Obsessions, just like Michael Myers is obsessed with killing, the Killer picks a Survivor, and tags them as his Obsession.
Difficulty rating: Hard
(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play him and use his Power effectively)
Lore
Some humans are simply bad seeds. Seeds infused with a distilled and pure form of evil.
Michael Myers is one of those seeds. He had no issues with causing the pain of others. Instead, it was exactly what he sought. But even life can be tough on those with minds filled with terror. The difference is just how one goes about to solve those problems. For Michael, he had to kill to find some inner peace. As he took his sister’s life, the police found a silent boy dressed as a clown at the scene.
When one stumbles upon a growing fire, one does not pour gasoline on it. But this was an action taken by officials that had no idea how it would shape this demon in the boy's body. Sending Michael to a mental institution was a feeble attempt to save the child. Unsuccessful therapy and nightly screams just made him even more introverted and deranged.
People hoped that Michael Myers would end up a parenthesis, soon to be forgotten and buried, a failure that soon were to rot away. But then...he escaped.
The Shape's Perks
These are Perks which start off only appearing in The Shape's Template:IconLink. After achieving Level 30, Teachable versions of these Perks can be found:
- Save the Best for Last - Level 30
- Play with Your Food - Level 35
- Dying Light - Level 40
Once obtained, other Killers will be able to find The Shape's Perks in their respective Bloodwebs from that point onwards Template:Char Perks
Load-out
Weapon: Kitchen Knife
The Kitchen Knife is The Shape's primary weapon: an oversized blade with devastatingly sharp edges.
Power: Evil Within
Template:Evil Within
Power Trivia
Evil Within:
- Once The Shape tiers-up past Evil Within I, he is unable tier-down back to Evil Within I.
- The Shape's Template:IconLink in Evil Within I is still defined in code as 6 metres, hence why his Character Info still lists a Terror-Radius range of 6/16/32 metres.
However, since he is granted a permanent Template:IconLink Status Effect, he effectively has a Terror Radius of 0 metres in that Tier.
Both claims (6 metres vs. 0 metres) are technically correct, given the proper context.
Lunge Attack:
- Evil Within I
- Attack open time: 0.2 seconds
- Evil Within II
- Attack open time: 0.5 seconds (Killer default)
- Evil Within III
- Attack open time: 0.6 seconds
Stalk Points / Evil:
- Stalk Points per Evil Within Tier: 5 Stalk points
- Stalk Points are obtained by stalking Survivors who are in The Shape's Field of View, draining them of their "Evil".
- Despite all Survivors being highlighted when stalking, Evil is only drained from the one closest to The Shape at a time.
He cannot stalk multiple Survivors at once anymore (see Change Log).
- Stalk-Point Reservoir per Trial: 40.4 Stalk points
- This reservoir is evenly distributed across all Survivors loading into a Trial (relevant for Custom Games).
In a regular Trial, this results in each Survivor having 10.1 Stalk Points The Shape can obtain from them.
- This reservoir is evenly distributed across all Survivors loading into a Trial (relevant for Custom Games).
Stalking:
- Stalk range: 2.5 metres to 39.85 metres.
- Outside of this range, no Evil will be drained from Survivors.
- Stalk rate: 0.8333 Stalk Points per second
- The Stalk rate is affected by a distance penalty, reducing its efficiency the farther away a Survivor is from The Shape, ranging from 100 % at closest range to just 10 % at farthest range.
- The Stalk-efficiency-to-distance ratio appears to be linear, meaning that at a distance of 50 % (~21 metres), the Stalk efficiency will be 50 % as well.
- Stalk time: 6 seconds per Tier
- The Stalk time is coupled to the Stalk rate, ranging from 6 seconds @ 100 % efficiency to 60 seconds @ 10 % efficiency.
- Unlike the Stalk-efficiency-to-distance ratio, the Stalk time increases exponentially with distance.
A graph detailing this can be found in the Gallery section.
Outline Colours:
- The amount of Stalk Points or Evil a Survivor has left is indicated to The Shape via the colour of their outline when being stalked.
- The colour ranges from white (10.1 points) to red (0 points).
Power Audio
Tier-up to Evil Within II | Tier-up to Evil Within III |
---|---|
Tier-down from Evil Within III | Tier-up Imminent warning (no longer used*) |
* This audio cue used to warn Survivors actively being stalked by The Shape that his next Tier-up was imminent (Power gauge at ~85 %).
It was disabled after a couple of Patches as the Developers considered it too much information for the Survivors.
Stances
Observant Players may notice that The Shape changes his stance when progressing through his Evil Within Tiers or when he has specific Add-ons equipped.
However, contrary to the popular belief, these stance-changes are not tied to those, but rather directly to The Shape's momentary Movement speed, which happens to often correlate with his Tiers and Add-ons.
This behaviour allows Players using a controller to fake a different stance or even the use of specific Add-ons by purposefully walking slower than his maximum speed.
The Shape has 2 distinct Stances:
Slow Stance | Fast Stance |
---|---|
