Decaying Detector (Timeless)

The Decaying Detector is an ennemy fought exclusively in certain levels of Space Odyssey. He has quite average stats, and will be able to see and follow you through walls. Nearby zombies also have a small chance of following him

Appearance and origins
He is dressed with weathered futuristic tall, and despite being larger than average zombies, he walks in a strange quadrupedal manner. He also has a broken helmet, with digital glasses highlighting the silhouettes of players through wall

Strategies
He is often followed by other zombies, and will directly attack you while also avoiding any form of distraction. Because of his peculiar behavior, he will often stalk players, circling around them in nearby corridors and attacking behind you along with the regular horde. Alone, he's not a threat, but he can easily damage you before you can retaliate or even bring a smaller horde with him, surprising players and bypassing most defenses. To avoid them, you can try to keep moving to prevent him from getting in your back, or simply wait for them to get in a straight line inside of a corridor and shoot all of them with a Laser Rifle, effectively killing most weak zombies and leaving the strongest ones to Plasma Blasters. In his special levels, this is especially true for parts with loads of hallways, but can often get a bit chaotic in other parts of the map, with zombies jumping from everywhere. Force fields on the map can become disadvantageous if you trap a lot of zombies behind them and get attacked from behind, so always keep a good escape route if you don't want to get blocked.
