Walther's Notes - Pristine
This note was found within a rooftop tent and in good condition. A rare artifact by Walther himself to have not been ruined through the course of time, kept safe by Daimon, his frenemy.
To fight away from all the common filth in condensed cities is to risk death by strangulation at the hands of an oddity such as the Smoker. Nicknamed after a lad of mine shot one that happened to expel a rather pungent and odor-filled gas of sorts, this infected prefers to ensnare its prey using its sickly red tongue which it then tightens by the second to ensure a slow and painful death. Though I myself have not witnessed such gruesome passings, I have been made aware of some by those I meet along the road.
Background Story
Smokers of the apocalypse were, well, cigarette smoking addicts prior to the apocalypse hitting. These infected with their sickly ruby red tongues first appeared as ordinary infected with mutated lumps lining their necks until the virus had finalized; creating a hellish beast whose eyes pop out due to pressure placed upon by their abnormally large heads.
These infected are the reason governments launched mandates forcing contract killers to move as groups when on duty as one fell swoop when strayed away from your pack will result in your untimely demise. Strangulation is no joke, especially when it's done by a mushy red string.
Walkthrough
Smokers, with beautiful teeth, are cigarette-eaters. Okay, that's a lie, but they can grab someone with their mutated tongue from a far distance, disarming the victim and pulling him slowly towards the Smoker. A Smoker can be extremely dangerous if the survivor is alone, which means if he gets you, and no one is around to kill the Smoker for you (unless you have Rambo Knife), and you're bound to die. They do extremely low damage every split second to the survivor they are grabbing, but for a surprise, they deal double the damage as a common Zombie does when they touch survivors. Fast yet weak, the Smoker is a dangerous specie for lone survivors. The Smoker is considered the disarmer class for the game.
