Description
Somewhere in a temple, survivors were running away from zombies & tank. As they're outnumbered, they tried to hide while moving carefully. After exploring the temple carefully, they found a hidden area with some advanced technologies. It turned out that the temple was from a forgotten ancient civilization.

Nick: "Looks like we're going to find some alien laser guns again."
Ellis: "I hope that we'll find some useful stuffs..."
Coach: "I wonder if there's chocolate in the ancient civilization..."
Rochelle: "I want to check if there are some good clothes..."

After exploring the ancient civilization for awhile by passing several automatic metal doors, they found nothing useful except a path leading to the other side of the temple. At the center of the altar, they found a cubic metal box.

Nick: "We're hunting treasures for hours, & only find one metal box..."
Ellis: "Wait. I feel like I've ever seen that box somewhere. That's...... Oh my God...!!"
Coach: "What's that box?"
Ellis: "It's Pegasus Armor box. Do you remember some anime series named 'Saint Seiya'. That box probably contains his armor."
Nick: "Ok, now one of us is going to be like Iron Man or what...?"
Ellis: "At least let's take it first. Probably if there's Pegasus Armor, there should be Seiya falling somewhere... If we can't equip, at least we can find Seiya to have him equip & help us kill zombies with his Meteor Fist...!"
Nick: "Meteor what...?"

However, there's some earthquake when they're trying to approach the metal box. Suddenly a tank destroyed a wall behind the metal box.

Ellis: "Oh sh*t, tank is comming...!! Hurry...!! We must secure the Pegasus Armor...!!"

They rushed to the metal box, while at the same time the tank was also running from the other side of the box, trying to chase the survivors. Unfortunately, the tank arrived at the box first & smashed the box to the right side. Then something strange happened. The box was opened & the armor was absorbed by the tank, & change his color to red.

Ellis: "Oh holy sh*t...! We're totally damned...!!"
Nick: "Ah, colored tank huh... Now what do we call this tank...?"
Tank: "METEOR FIST...!!!"
Coach: "What the hell...?! The big guy is talking...?!"
Ellis: "HOLY SH*T...!!! Guys, run...!!! It's a dangerous signature move...!!"

From tank's knuckle, there appeared some traces of light traveling fast & powerful enough to even put several holes on a wall.

Nick: "This reminds me of that colored boomer. What's his name again? Shotgun Boomer...?"
Ellis: "This one is even more dangerous. There are more holes in the wall compared to that from Shotgun Boomer. We have no chance...!! We need to find Seiya to call the absorbed armor...!!"

& so the survivors ran as fast as they can, back to the ancient civilization to look for some vehicles to escape from the red tank, that later would be named "Pegasus Tank"...


So that's the background story for fun :D . This mod was inspired by an old anime series, "Saint Seiya". Few days ago, there was sad news about the passing of the singer of "Pegasus Fantasy", Saint Seiya's opening theme. As this anime series was one of memorable series in my childhood along with "Dragon Ball", I decided to make this as the tribute of "Pegasus Fantasy" & the singer.

So, this mod will make tank transform to a super boss, "Pegasus Tank", that can unleash "Meteor Fist". It's an alternate version of Shotgun Boomer's fist that also spreads like shotgun, but with more traces of light.


List of features available on "pegasus tank.txt" cfg file:
  1. Pegasus Tank Chance: The spawn chance of "Pegasus Tank".

  2. Meteor Fist Extremity: The extremity level of "Meteor Fist". The value controls whether "Pegasus Tank" only unleashes "Meteor Fist" every 2 seconds when looking at a survivor, or always unleashes every 2 seconds no matter if he's looking at a survivor or not during taking damage. This also controls whether "Super Meteor Fist" will replace the tank rock or not.

  3. Meteor Fist Pushback: When it's set to value above 0, the "Meteor Fist" can push a survivor backward.

  4. Spawn Notification: This is to turn on/ off the spawn notification.

  5. Boss Aura: When enabled, "Pegasus Tank" will have aura covering him to indicate that he's a super boss different from normal tank.

  6. Follow Difficulty Level: When enabled, the damage follows difficulty level (the harder the difficulty levels, the more damage). Otherwise, the damage is is 8 for the least damage, & the max damage vary depending on how many traces of light hit a survivor.


Mechanisms of "Pegasus Tank":
  • "Pegasus Tank" will spawn based on "Pegasus Tank Chance".

  • "Pegasus Tank" has red skin. He also has 25% damage resist on any attacks except from melee & chainsaw.

  • "Pegasus Tank" unleashes "Meteor Fist" every 2 seconds when taking damage from survivors (like a counter attack). The traits of this fist are controlled by "Meteor Fist Extremity" & "Meteor Fist Pushback".

  • When, "Meteor Fist Extremity" is set to 0.5 or 2, "Pegasus Tank" can unleash "Super Meteor Fist" that deals doubled damage compared to normal "Meteor Fist", with more traces of light. However, when "Super Meteor Fist" is active, the rock will be removed.

  • "Meteor" Fist can instantly kill common infected if there are some common infected getting in the way of "Pegasus Tank"

  • Normal punch attack can also trigger "Meteor Fist". So, if he punches you, you'll take great damage or even get incapacitated instantly if you're unlucky (imagine taking a shot from shotgun in close range).

  • Table for "Meteor Fist" damage:
    FOLLOR DIFFICULTY LEVEL
    EFFECTS
    Follow Difficulty Level= 0
    - Min damage= 5-8
    - Max damage= The more traces hit, the more damage
    Follow Difficulty Level= 1
    EASY:
    - Min damage= 3-5
    - Max damage= The more traces hit, the more damage
    NORMAL:
    - Min damage= 5-8
    - Max damage= The more traces hit, the more damage
    ADVANCED:
    - Min damage= 15-20
    - Max damage= The more traces hit, the more damage
    EXPERT:
    - Min damage= 25-40
    - Max damage= The more traces hit, the more damage
    Note: Effects are doubled on "Super Meteor Fist".

  • Tips for survivors: Keep moving while shooting to prevent tank from looking at you when taking damage, as he'll unleash "Meteor Fist" when that happens.

  • Tips for tank player: Keep spamming normal attack if survivors are still far from reach as it's effective in close to medium range.

@ AlfredENeuman , thanks :steamhappy: . There are already so many QOL modders on workshop, so I decided to have a different approach by making mods that are out-of-the-box instead, for those who want to enjoy L4D2 for fun in different ways than usual.

@ Unsants , thanks :steamhappy:

You may be the most creative modder on the Workshop.
