IMPORTANT: Butler will take 8 hits to kill in multiplayer! NOTE: They will hit every 0.25s, NOT every 0.35s, meaning they can kill you in 2.5s NOTE: I forgot to mention Butlers can hear, which just triggers them to look towards the sound they heard NOTE: I also forgot to mention that butler bees cannot be killed. chboo confirmed that touching the butler will not trigger berserk because of a bug. take a shot every time i say targetPlayer

Not for me, he is clever made, but the ways to counter it is to limited or should I say flawed, every single hostiles in this game has a counterbalance, nut cracker’s horrible sight and little intelligence , girl and mimics rarity, even the thumpers can be jump over or do a lot of turns and that also has bad memory, the butler’s counter balance is to not be along, or just run away as soon as you see him, there is no problem with balancing it like this, it’s just that it start murdering you to quickly so if you don’t have competent teammates you kinda just die. This thing is very clever made, but I hope it start murdering 20 seconds later so we have a better chance. As specially when there is other mobs teaming up with it.

Little fun fact: The knife normally uses the exact same code as the shovel when hitting enemies or players, but butlers have a special condition which checks the hit ID of what hit them. If it is 5 (a knife), they will always take 100 damage, which is lethal.

@sdfggdfg5fgdfg 2 ай бұрын

While I do find it hilarious that the entire enemy is essentially a giant reference to "the butler did it" trope in murder mystery stories I do still think this enemy had some missed opportunities with it. Like maybe it could serve as an opposite to the junk bugs and that you can't drop items on the floor around it because that "dirtys his work" so to say and it angers him. The butler enemy in practice is alot more simplified just being a serial killer who's waiting to catch a player alone so it can commit it's crime.

@ily2m803 2 ай бұрын

I just love the roster of enemies in this game. In addition to the standard alien-like enemies you'd expect to find in a game like this, we also have: Crackers of the nuts, ghost children, Jack-in-the-box (of death), and Whodunit butlers (ft. Bees)

The 'one spot before murder' mechanic is going to be fowl for single player, youll have to drop all your items and run to an exit, or find a set of isolated doors to hold the butler off for a while, or defeat it and deal with the masked hornets. i'd hope the long door opening time is intenntional

@Lalaoz 2 ай бұрын

best guess is that the bees are supposed to have the 30 second door timer, and the butler is supposed to have the 6. it probably got swapped somewhere in the code by mistake.

Also another note, after the butler becomes aggressive once he will not enter his lingering phase again. however he will sweep for a few seconds when he sees the player offering a short chance to escape. If he puts away his broom which you can hear with a sound effect, he will turn aggressive immediately when he sees you. However if he doesn’t see the targeted player immediately he will take out his broom again for a while and if he doesn’t see the player he will run off. If he dose see the player this will reset.
