Clot

Clot is weak and slow, but it has one nasty habit: it grabs you at close range and won’t let go — so keep your distance.

Description

Clot is the weakest and slowest mutant. It is only dangerous in large groups, and any weapon is effective against it.

Behavior

• Moves slowly
• Attacks by biting
• At point-blank range, grabs the player and prevents movement

Combat tactics

The main rule when fighting Clots is to avoid getting surrounded. If a Clot grabs you, you can break free by jumping away (this does not work on Suicidal and Hell on Earth).

Clots cannot grab Berserkers.

Background

When Horzine Biotech began the second wave of cloning and genetic engineering programs, the goal was to create an adult human who would follow orders and consider Horzine employees as their masters. Orders were transmitted through a neuro-implant that released a dose of serotonin upon successful task completion. Unfortunately, the specimens quickly developed behavioral deviations, including aggression towards others and a tendency for self-harm.

The failure of the early specimens forced researchers to pause the research and switch to other projects. The first Clot specimens were based on the DNA of the deceased son of Kevin Clamely, the head of Horzine Corporation.
