Overview[edit]
Vanessa is one of the two launch operators in DEAD: Doomsday Emergency Action Division. She offers higher movement speed than Craig but suffers from greater recoil, rewarding aggressive and mobile playstyles.
Lore[edit]
Before the apocalypse, Vanessa was a courier cyclist in London, infamous for threading traffic at breakneck speeds. Friends called her “The Human Pigeon” for her ability to get anywhere, anytime, with a mix of parkour and pedal power. Off the job, she split her nights between underground raves and rooftop runs.
When Hell broke loose, Vanessa didn’t run away — she ran through it. Witnesses recall her vaulting over buses and dropkicking an undead straight into a dustbin. D.E.A.D. scouts saw her natural agility and fearlessness, and quickly recruited her for rapid-response operations.
Though recoil control isn’t her strong suit, Vanessa’s mobility and daring tactics make her a deadly operator in the right hands.
Stats[edit]
- Max Speed: 2.5
- Recoil Mod: 1.2
- Taunt Sounds: Currently placeholder (Craig’s lines reused)
- Hurt Sounds: 2 unique sounds
Playstyle[edit]
Best for aggressive players who favour speed and flanking. Vanessa excels at repositioning quickly, but her higher recoil demands precise control.
Trivia[edit]
- Still uses Craig’s voice lines as placeholders in early builds.
- Early prototypes named her “Runner” and “Swift.”
- Was inspired by real-life bike couriers.
