The "Blight" are the main antagonists of the 2023 Roblox Action Horror game Guts & Blackpowder. And based upon the L4D "The Infected" for multiple Special Infected.
History[]
The Blight is an unknown disease appearing originally in the last years of the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812), in these last years of the War the Blight started to appear in the Ranks of the Ottomans and the Russian Army, the Blight was able to be contained, but The Blight was dismissed as other diseases. The Blight did not have the ability to resurrect Corpses until the Burning of Moscow around late September. After this ability was achieved, The Blight began to slowly infect Europe, leaving Destruction and death in its wake. It has mainly passed through Russia, Germany, Bavaria, Belgium, Northern France, Denmark, Sweden and finally Southern Britain. These areas are where the most infected are, these areas are also not 100% overrun, as confirmed by the Official Guts & Blackpowder wiki. There are also individual areas in Countries such as Spain (San Sebastian) which somehow had a Blight Outbreak despite there being no evidence of transportation of dead bodies carrying The Blight and also Denmark (Vardøhus Fortress) which had dead bodies carrying The Blight brought to the small island of Vardø. With there perhaps being more of these incidents along with the likely hood that maps in-game such as: Copenhagen, London and also Westminster also had similar things happen to them.
Nature[]
The Blight is a disease only obtainable by the physical contact of infected individuals. The Infected depending on their type they will either try to Scratch or Bite, Vomit or Claw to Infect their target. A Scratch will not allow you to decay Infection in-game and in hardcore will slowly give you some Infection. A Bite is very infectious being able to bring you to more than half infected. If you are vomited on by a Viral Runner than you are 100% infected and if not given Mercy by a Christian Priest will turn into a Viral Runner. Being Clawed by a Viral Runner will quickly kill someone and if they survive the encounter will have slowly become more Infected until again blessed by a Christian Priest. There are also Special Infected that not only try to Infect individuals but some that try to directly kill them. When infected Symptoms in-game include Red vision, hearing voices and pale skin. Though there are other Symptoms it's hard to know specific ones as they aren't in game. All of them aren't too intelligent either as they will blindly run through fire and other infrastructure just to get to someone. They are also attracted to loud sounds, bright lights and will always go towards the closest uninfected human.
Christian Nature[]
Due to the fact that some Shamblers and Special Infected are Unrepentant Sinners. An anointed Christian (Ex. Chaplain) can hold up a Crucifix to temporary repel most types of the Infected. They can also cure those who have been Infected by The Blight. This only gets rid of The Blight though and other types of Diseases are still present after your Blessed by a Chaplain.
Shambler[]
The most common Infected you'll see. They are people who have either risen out of graves or Infected individuals who have decayed into Shamblers. Getting infected means turning into these Shambers after a full day for most people infected by The Blight. They aren't to dangerous on there own but there strength comes in massive hordes they are almost always seen in. Getting grabbed by one is bad but manageable as you can shove them off after a seconds. But if another Shambler joins they will start to bite you. When your grabbed by 4 or more you will be instantly eaten and turned into a Viral Runner.
Special Infected[]
These are Individuals who have unique abilities that separate them from the common Shambler.
Viral Runners:[]
Fleshly Infected people, they run very fast and will try to pounce upon someone uninfected. There eyes glowing red. They will target anyone playing loud instruments first. If they do pounce upon someone they will either Vomit or Quickly Claw at them. Vomiting having 100% infection rate and Clawing quickly killing the person and if the person somehow survivies will permantly gain infection. Although they only last for around a hour before turning into Runners.
Runners:[]
Semi Fleshly Infected people, they still run very fast and will try to pounce you. There eyes also glowing red but significantly less red. But will instead try to rip out the persons neck, killing them initially. They will also target anyone playing loud instruments first. They only last for around 4-8 hours before turning into Shamblers.
Viral Zappers:[]
Those who served in any military regiment as a Sapper will become this Zombie when first becoming infected and always carrying there axes. There eyes glowing orange. They will quickly swing their axe left or right depending on where a uninfected person is. They move slightly faster a Shambler and they will instead try to kill uninfected people instead of trying to kill them with there axe. They only last for a couple of hours though.
Zappers:[]
Viral Zappers who have decayed into Zappers. There eyes a less tint of glowing orange. They move very slowly and will only attack the uninfected with an up swing from there axe which results in them often missing.
Bombers:[]
Bombers are zombies that carry a powder keg and a torch. When coming into close to a uninfected person they will ignite the powder keg and will walk to the nearest uninfected person to explode them.
Igniters:[]
A zombie who is immune to all types of fire and carrying a flammable lantern. They appear very burned with half there body being burnt off. They can throw the lantern they are holding to a uninfected person to hopefully burn them to death.
Cannon Igniter:[]
The Cannon Igniter is a former member of the Royal Artillery of Foot that fires a cannon at the survivors near the end of the map Westminster. It seems to have no other quality's other than this.
Cuirassier:[]
A zombie that wear's a cuirass and charges with a heavy saber. Their charge can instantly pierce and cripple victims, and they commonly duel players that are near it.
Trivia[]
- The reason that "The Blight" isn't called Zombies in-game is because the game takes place during 1812-1815 on Earth where the concept of Zombies hasn't been made yet.
- The informational document in Westminster called "ONE'S GUIDE TO THE BLIGHT & IT'S HORRORS" says that the zombies have "The strength of Sailors."
