Black Hat Hacker
Team
- Third-party team
Win Condition
- Wins when all surviving players are infected
- Whether the Black Hat Hacker must be alive is configurable
Role Description
- Active Ability: Hack
- Can generally be used only n times per match.
- Infects the target with a virus.
- When an infected target gets close to other surviving players, the infection progresses.
- Once infection reaches 100%, the player becomes infected and will start infecting others.
- Infection progress is displayed in the task list on the left side of the screen.
- Through settings, it can also be configured so that once infection reaches a certain level, it continues to progress at 1/5 of the normal speed even when no infected player is nearby (self-replication).
- Settings can also allow the use of Admin or Vitals to check infected players’ locations or survival status.
- It can also be configured so that if the number of infected players reaches 0, the Black Hat Hacker can create another infected player.
