Do Cysts have any unique abilities?

Do Cysts have any unique abilities? - Wonderful Aling Aling Waterfall among lush greenery of Sambangan mountainous area on Bali Island

In the original Killing Floor, every enemy had a unique ability; Clots could grab and immobilize you, Gorefasts had a sword arm and could sprint, Scrakes had chainsaws, Fleshpounds ruined your life, etc.

In Killing Floor 2, now, there are a couple new types of enemies, one of them being the Cyst.

However, I can't seem to find any outstanding ability that they have, neither in-game nor documented. On top of that, they don't seem functionally different at all from the updated Clot specimen. Am I overlooking something or do Cysts really do nothing special at all?



Best Answer

They do, in fact, have a special ability explained in the link you provided :

  • Cysts move slowly when docile, and sprint when enraged.
  • On higher difficulties, Cysts have a chance to enrage upon sighting a Player, and have a chance to enrage when shot.
  • Once enraged, Cysts will never stop sprinting until they are killed.

They have a speedboost like the Gorefast had in KF. It's not that much of an ability, but after all, they're only cannon fodder.

The Cyst is a common specimen in Killing Floor 2. It is classified as a lesser enemy, and therefore, cannon fodder. Cysts are generally considered to be the weakest specimens in the game, whose only purpose is to populate the level.

What is inside a cyst?

A cyst is a pocket-like area, within tissue, that is not normally there. It can be filled with fluid, blood, tissue, hair, bone, a foreign body, etc. If it is filled with pus, it becomes an abscess. Cysts can occur anywhere on or in your body.

Why cyst is formed?

Cysts develop when the protein is trapped below the skin because of disruption to the skin or to a hair follicle. These cysts may develop for a number of reasons, but trauma to the skin is typically thought to be the main cause. When numerous, an underlying genetic disorder such as Gardner syndrome may be the cause.

How many kinds of cysts are there?

There are a hundred types of cysts that can originate in the body.

Are cysts harmful?

Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous), but some are cancerous or precancerous and must be removed. In addition, if a cyst is filled with pus, that means it's infected and could form an abscess, so you should see a doctor if you feel pain when you touch a cyst.
