(original image for anybody needing it, here we have Flynn about to be executed in a multiplayer match by a Red Kobra Mercenary)
Triggering Execution: executions are triggered when enemies are low enough health (half of their health)
example enemies that can be instantly executed without being wounded:
Zombies, Red Kobra Terrorists, any gangs, ect.
Graphic Animations: Executions are depicted through graphic and unsettling animations, these animations could vary depending on the execution type and the enemy being killed, adding a disturbingly realistic touch to the gameplay.
are there any enemies that can't be executed?
only bosses and Rock Katson can't be executed (because the bosses have exclusive deaths themselves)
Environmental Interaction: In addition to traditional executions, players can perform environmental executions when certain objects or elements are available in the game environment. These could include objects like electric boxes, toilet lids, exposed pipes, or other interactive elements. Players need to be aware of their surroundings and identify potential environmental execution opportunities during combat encounters. This adds a strategic element to gameplay, encouraging players to use their surroundings to their advantage.
Consequences: Performing executions can alert enemies because of the victim gasping out and panting.
can you do it in multiplayer? yes!
Audio Immersion and brutality: Incorporate realistic and chilling sound effects to accompany the executions, including the gasps and extreme amounts of panting and choking of the enemy as they meet their demise. This enhances immersion and adds to the horror atmosphere of the game.
360-Degree Execution: Allow players to execute enemies from any direction, including from above, below, or even while crawling or crouching.
ideas of the least brutal TimeZone executions:
