• Frag grenades (concussive; no self-damage)


  
• Proximity mines (sticky; no self-damage)

  2. Machine gun, strong as HAR but uses Slayer's own bullet ammo pool
  
  
    
  
  
    


  
• Siphon Grenade (does DoT to demons and heals Slayer for damage done; with Armored Offensive rune, can restore armor)


  
• Stun Bomb (electrifies most enemies)


  

  Powers

  

  
• Berserk (instantly Glory Kill most enemies at any health, Blood Punches don't need to be charged; built up by melee kills, can be willfully activated when ready)
  
    
  
  
    
  • Restores Slayer's health to 100 (if below) when activated and releases violent explosion when expires
  
  
    
  • Immolation: upgrade to Berserk; radiates tremendous heat damaging to enemies and structures
  
  
    
  
  
    


  
• Blood Punch (empowered explosive melee strike; built up by simply focusing power into regular punch)


  
• Blood Rage (critical health boosts fists' damage)


  
• Clearsight (reveals enemies, even if cloaked/hidden, and eliminates sensory distractions; does not let see through solid surfaces)


  
• Farsight (limited ability to see across time and space; most effective in anticipating enemy behavior/movement in combat, or in finding his next objective)


  
• Glory Kill (kills with fists restore health; siphons life force from demons, does not work on robots)


  
• Rampage (weaponized sprinting; break through surfaces and greatly damage enemies struck)


  
• Resurrective immortality (when HEALTH reaches 0, dies and "despawns" but will "respawn" moments later a safe distance away; death does physically occur and Slayer resurrects afterward in the same timeline)


  
• Saving Throw (can survive single death blow with minimal health and briefly slows time)


  
• Taunt (obscene gestures offend enemies, making them more aggressive but less defensive)
  
    
  
  
    
  • Instigate (upgrade to Taunt; remotely provokes two specific enemies to in-fight)
  
  
    
  
  
    


  

  Runes (can equip up to 3)

  

  
• Armored Offensive (Glory Kills drop armor)


  
• Boiling Blood (Slayer releases harmful burst when takes damage)


  
• Dark Claw (modifies Berserk; primary attack unleashes far-reaching claw strikes, secondary attack turns demons into implosive tendril "biobombs")


  
• Giger Effect (opens portals to and from the mysterious Nightmare Realm, facilitating traversal while deemphasizing combat)


  
• God Speed (Rampage produces fiery area-of-effect and leaves flaming trail)


  
• Lethal Force (all enemies release damaging burst on death; harmless to Slayer)


  
• Momentum Swing (eliminates most movement-impeding effects)


  
• Void Heart (negates damage from all environmental hazards)

• Armor Fabricators (produce armor from viable environmental resources or metallic/armored enemies)


  
• Automap (maps local environment, indicates nearby demons and secret areas)


  
• Equipment Cycler (automatically recharges certain equipment items)


  
• Hack Module (bypasses virtually all security systems; reinforces robotic assets against demonic corruption and empowers them with Slayer's latent power)


  
• Hammerspace Matrix (stores near-limitless weapons and munitions; can store found power-ups and save them for later use; can now also store nuclear bombshells and even explosive barrels)


  
• Harmonic Resonators (heavy metal speakers; assist Slayer's concentration and disorient demons)


  
• Jump Pack (limited vertical lift)


  
• Power Engine (added by VEGA, replaces in-game challenges and weapon upgrade systems; used to craft power-ups from synthesized schematics)
  
    
  
  
    
  • Calibrator: produces Calibration Cycles (crafting points) from intense cognitive activity, such as from finishing battles, completing a mission on time, or finding secrets (adds KILLS/TIME/SECRETS counter on upper left of HUD)
  
  
    
  • Synthesizer: creates power-up schematics from powerful and replicable artifacts, and crafts power-ups from stored Calibration Cycles; accessible in dedicated Dossier tab
  
  
    
  • Tracker: shows active power-ups and remaining duration (on counter on upper right of HUD)
  
  
    
  
  
    


  
• Vanguard Bracer (parries incoming projectiles and melee attacks; certain projectiles can be returned, parried enemies are faltered; melee parries have chance of staggering enemies for Glory Kills)
  
    
  
  
    
  • Kinetic Reflex (upgrade; parried melee attacks instantly charge 1 Blood Punch)
  
  
    
  
  
    


  

  Power-Ups (number indicates fabrication cost from stored Calibration Cycles)

  

  
1. Area Scanner (completes automap; reveals enemies, items, secrets)


  
2. Mega Charge (200 HEALTH and 200 ARMOR; once spent, both max capacities return to 100)


  
3. Soul Anchor (deployable checkpoint; upon death, instantly resurrect at pre-deployed beacon)


  
4. Slayer Idol (lesser enemies flee in fear; greater enemies become defensive)


  
5. Iron Sight (perfects weapon accuracy; all shots and even projectiles will find their target)


  
6. Sovereign Phalanx (powerful automated mobile artillery unit)


  

  Misc abilities

  

  
• Can climb onto and rodeo larger enemies - like ATLASes, Mancubi, or Barons - and direct their attacks


  
• Can grab small enemies like imps/zombies and use them as meat shields or throw them


  
• Can pick up and throw explosive/nukage/electric barrels


  
• Can pick up certain discarded enemy weapons (Mancubi cannons, ATLAS firearms) and use them until they disintegrate or run out of ammo


  
• Damage amplification: all his attacks are supernaturally amplified to deal much greater damage than would seem possible from his wielded weapons


  
• Immune to knockback, hitstuns, and other enemy movement-impeding effects save from Apex-tier demons and higher


  
• Immune to dismemberment and incapacitation as long as HEALTH doesn't reach 0, which results in death


  
• Immune to all psychic attacks and assault, though may take physical damage from these


  
• Invulnerable to fall damage and other purely kinetic impacts/attacks


  
• Invulnerable to mundane (non-demonic) biological/nuclear/chemical factors and most conventional harm, except those of extremely high energies or those enhanced with Argent


  
• Kick (light damage but falters and pushes enemy back)


  
• Limited ability to manipulate the physicopsychic environment of Hell, he can summon small platforms to facilitate traversal


  
• Normal max HEALTH/ARMOR are 100, but can overheal from pick-ups and Glory Kills (at half yield) for a true max of 200 each


  
• Praetor Suit can analyze, reverse-engineer, and incorporate useful technology (especially weapons) from virtually any source, except if these have been irreparably corrupted by Hell's influence


  
• Rune-wielding (innate ability, not reliant on Praetor Suit)


  
• Simple telekinesis and spellcrafting for utility purposes


  
• Spiritual combat, attacks shatter opponents' souls on death, effectively negating demons' immortality. Weak demons are permanently destroyed, while stronger demons may reform with great effort.


  
• Superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes, and stamina.


  
• Weapon mastery: can innately handle and proficiently wield most weaponry regardless of origin or familiarity (including man-made, alien, demonic, angelic) especially guns and firearms.


  

  Weaknesses

  

  
• Although always "respawns" close to his place of death and a short time later, the Slayer does not actually control this power and may not reappear on time following death during time-sensitive missions


  
• Can be harmed (even if minimally) by attacks and hazards infused with Argent Energy


  
• Curse of silence prevents effective communication


  
• Despite being able to see across space and time, his Farsight ability is affected by his mental state and is not particularly reliable


  
• Despite having excessively high offensive potential, the Slayer doesn't actually have high defensive potential and can only withstand so much attack


  
• Despite his innate weapon mastery, the Slayer may by whim be unappreciative of certain weapons, or lack the knowledge of their finer techniques


  
• Excessively violent and aggressive nature may cause him to take unnecessary risks, get distracted, or be potentially outsmarted/outplayed


  
• Neither he nor the Praetor Suit possess any flight, teleportation, or interdimensional travel mechanisms, and he greatly depends on the environment for traversal


  
• Vulnerable to space-time manipulation such as from gravity grenades/bombs, which will slow him down or trap him even if for a short while


  


  
• The Slayer works alone.
