Challenger

Challenger

CLOSE RANGE, DURABLE, HARD TO KILL

The CHALLENGER specializes in close range combat and heightened survivability.

The Challenger is one of four Archetypes available when talking to Wallace for the first time, but can also be unlocked later as well. They are a close ranged Archetype with powerful offensive and defensive options, typically equipped with heavy armor to sustain in combat. Their starting equipment includes a shotgun and a greatsword, allowing the traveler to handle enemies as seen fit.

Their unique Archetype trait is Strong Back, allowing the traveler to equip heavier armor with less of a drawback, and their prime perk Die Hard offers a secondary life on a long cooldown when chosen as the primary Archetype.
