Siren

Siren is a true screamer. Her scream causes real pain — and can even destroy rockets and grenades in mid-air.

Description

Siren moves slowly and looks harmless, but her vocal abilities make her one of the most dangerous specimens in the game. When a team’s defense starts to crumble, Siren can become the tipping point: her scream deals heavy damage and disorients players, which can cause panic even among experienced teams.

Behavior

• Moves slowly
• The scream is dangerous because it damages health directly and bypasses armor
• At point-blank range, can bite the player

Combat tactics

Attack Siren from a distance so you don’t get caught in her scream.

If you play Berserker, try to quickly close the distance between screams and decapitate her.

On our servers

• A solid headshot while she is screaming cuts the scream short — a great way to shut her down.
• When her scream does catch you, it shakes and distorts your view.
• Her scream deals less damage to players than in the original game (see Gameplay features and balance).

Background

Siren is a clone of Kevin Clamely’s wife. Her dream was to become a singer, but she had no vocal talent. In many ways, that is why Clamely turned Siren into a sonic weapon. Her eyes were gouged out so she could not see, and she wears a straitjacket. When his wife tried to divorce him, Kevin unleashed one of the Sirens on her.
