The Tanker: The Relentless Pursuer

Overview:

The Tanker replaces the standard Tank (50% chance) with a faster, more aggressive version designed for closer, high-pressure combat.

Key Features:

Ground-Slam: He replaces the rock throw with a seismic wave ability (12s cooldown). When he slams the ground, he unleashes a shockwave that launches all targets—including infected and Witches—with directional impact animations and physics. Impact force and damage scale dynamically based on his falling velocity (Z momentum) upon impact.

Enraged Phase & Run Mechanics: When his health drops to 33% or lower, he enters an enraged state accompanied by a distinct activation sound and animation. During this phase, he gains a permanent 15% speed boost and adopts an exclusive running pose.

Aggressive AI: Once his health drops to 33% or lower, he stops roaming randomly. He begins to hunt the healthiest survivor in his range, checking for a new target every 8 seconds to stay focused.

Stats: He has 40% less health than a standard Tank (2500 on normal difficulty). Additionally, his standard melee attacks deal 25% less damage than a normal Tank.

Momentum Control: His physical strikes are tuned to kill your momentum. Instead of just knocking you back, they counter your movement to make it harder to jump away.

Scaling: His health is adjusted based on your server's difficulty to ensure he remains a consistent challenge.
