Death Wraith

Overview

• The Death Wraith system turns one of your deaths into a return fight against your own aftermath.
• When you die in a normal gameplay scene, the game records your death location, appearance, gear, name, and weapon state.
• The next time you return to the same map and sub-scene, a Wraith appears at that death spot, using a name like "Strong / Balanced / Weak + player name + 's Wraith."

When It Appears

• It only works in normal gameplay scenes, not in menus or loading screens.
• A Wraith only appears in the same map and the same sub-scene where you died.
• It does not instantly aggro the moment you enter the map. It now follows normal enemy perception and starts fighting after naturally noticing you.

What the Wraith Inherits

• Appearance: it copies your face setup and character look from the moment of death.
• Gear: it recreates most of the equipment you were wearing and carrying.
• Audio feel: it also inherits your voice type and footstep material.
• Combat style:
  • If you died with a gun-focused loadout, it uses a firearm-oriented enemy behavior template.
  • If you died in melee mode, it uses a wolf-style melee behavior template.

How Strength Is Calculated

• The system compares the total value of the items you were carrying at death against your total wealth: cash + carried item value.
• The more of your total wealth was tied up in what you carried, the stronger the Wraith becomes.

Strong Wraith

• Trigger: carried item value is at least 50% of total wealth
• Around 10x health
• Around 1.5x gun and melee damage
• Around 1.9x movement-related speed
• Around 1.0 mobility

Balanced Wraith

• Trigger: carried item value is 10% to 50% of total wealth
• Around 6x health
• Around 1.25x gun and melee damage
• Around 1.5x movement-related speed
• Around 0.9 mobility

Weak Wraith

• Trigger: carried item value is below 10% of total wealth
• Around 3x health
• No extra damage bonus
• Around 1.2x movement-related speed
• Around 0.8 mobility

Refresh and Cleanup Rules

• Only one valid Death Wraith record is kept at a time.
• If you die again, the new death record overwrites the old one.
• If an older Wraith is still alive in the current scene, it gets replaced when a new death is recorded.
• Once you kill the Wraith, that record is cleared and will not keep respawning until you die again.

Rewards and Risk

• A Death Wraith shows its own name and health bar, so it is easy to identify.
• It does not drop a loot crate when killed.
• The more expensive your loadout was when you died, the more dangerous the rematch will be when you come back.
