In Game Perks/Abilities (Note Free Radical May have added more)
Mantel Nectar Abilities
Nectar Perception: While on Nectar, your enemies will become far more visible to you, even if they are hiding in the shadows or foliage. Sooo...like a natural form of infrared or night vision
Melee Blast: Performed the same way as the normal melee attack, but with 10 times the power, thanks to Nectar. Why do we get the feeling we'll want to go on up-close-and-personal rampages after a dose of this stuff?
Nectar Resilience: Bullets won’t bounce off you, but you’ll certainly take less damage from them. And that's a big bonus; Nectar is like body armor!
Nectar Focus: When you are sniping or using the zoom function on your helmet, Nectar will give you a new level of focus, helping you aim and making it easier to kill in one deadly accurate shot.
Nectar Foresight: If you are in danger while on a Nectar high, a visible “pulse” will ripple outward from the point of threat. This could be a grenade at your feet, or someone about to melee you from behind. We had heard a bit about this skill before, and it sounds like it could offer the single biggest advantage of all the abilities.
Promise Hand Tactics
Weapon Steal: punch a Mantel soldier to stun him, then steal his gun before he knows what hit him
Play Dead: because Mantel troops can’t see blood or death, rebels can play dead and perform sneak attacks
Scavenge: recalibrate any type of ammo to work with your gun (nectar grenades nectar knife etc.)
Traps: plant grenades in the ground as a special surprise for your enemies
Evade: without a Mantel suit to weigh you down, you’ll be able to roll, duck, and dive to avoid being shot
- Developer Information:
