Multiplayer
The Epic Reaper works off a different set of mechanics than every other character in the game.
- He's capable of dashing instead of rolling, unless you have your pistol out.
- Gliding down steep drops, he can be fully controlled while gliding, and can be moved in any direction.
- He can deliver a fast, instant kill scythe melee (which counts toward chainsaw kills).
- Each time the Reaper gets a kill his skull will light on fire for a few seconds.
- When he dies he bursts into an ink cloud and Kryll fly out and around it for a few seconds. Although it doesn't damage you if you walk through it, but it does impede your vision as long as you stand in or around it.
To balance this out, he's also more visible given his back-mounted "cog", flaming skull, ink-leaving roadie run and attire. In addition, the Reaper is no tougher than your average enemy, leaving him vulnerable to explosive and headshot weaponry.
