General
The Unknown is a being beyond understanding. It excels at map control and disorienting survivors with its unpredictable movement abilities. It can also attack from a distance with its unique power.
Power
The Unknown's main power is UVX. By pressing the power button, it can aim the UVX and pressing the attack button while aiming shoots an arc projectile that explodes on impact. Survivors caught in the explosions suffer from the Weakened status effect. Weakened survivors suffer auditory hallucinations and will lose a health state if hit with UVX again. Survivors can recover from Weakened by looking at The Unknown for a short duration. The Unknown also has a secondary ability, Hallucinations. It periodically leaves behind Hallucinations, a static copy of itself. Up to 4 Hallucinations can exist at a time. The Unknown can choose to swap with any of its Hallucinations by pressing the secondary power button to confuse survivors and quickly traverse the map. Survivors can remove the Hallucinations by interacting with them for a short period. However, if they cancel the action within this period, they fail to remove the Hallucination and become Weakened.
Perks
The Unknown comes with 3 unique perks:
Unbound
When a survivor becomes injured, after vaulting a window you gain increased movement speed for a short duration.
Undone
Gain tokens when a survivor fails a skill check. When damaging a generator, additional damage is dealt and the generator is blocked for a short duration. The damage and block duration increases with the number of tokens.
Unforeseen
Damaging a generator transfers your terror radius to it for a short duration.
Playstyle Tips
- Duck and Weave out of sight after hitting a survivor with UVX, to prevent them from removing Weakened.
- Teleport to a Hallucination mid-chase to confuse survivors and quickly traverse the map.
- Perks that let you see survivors from a distance synergize well with The Unknown's playstyle, since it can teleport to them quickly.
