Collaring didn't seem that useful. One enemy doing less or no damage or you could bring a highwayman that can dodge and kill the enemy first round. It's not crazy useful in normal fight rooms or hallway fights.

Brought him against the Siren cause "crazy AOE blight" "absolute boss killer" was not any more helpful than any other character arguably worse because every time he got captured he blighted my whole party. BECAUSE NOT ALL BOSSES ARE JUST DAMAGE.

Now I am not saying there are not situation where he can be used effectively to be extremely powerful. That is every class.

remove horizon and Diogen are just wrong.

He can buff party resistances because otherwise would do far more damage to your own party during a dungeon than to enemies. Using Sanitize means you are missing out on actually doing damage that turn, you are gonna take more hits. Not Sanitizing means unless you are bringing just plague doctors and exterminators you're going to blight your own party.

The AOE is no different than a plague doctor, just has a possibility of hitting the other two slots. You could take a turn to mark to increase damage but that's another turn of not doing any damage meaning at least 2 turns of every fight is set up to use the AOE effectively and safely.

Great design, but as most character's in the workshop, he wants to do everything. Mark, Pull, Stun, Riposte, Stress Heal, Buff Resistances, Boss Trivialising DMG Debuff and finally AOE blight. And he does it all better than any other class.
A little restraint would go a long way, because the concept and art for it is so polished, it's a shame playing with him feels like cheating as I breeze through encounters with 0 stress on anyone at the end. TBF I havn't tried him at lvl 5+ areas yet.

ah also he stuns on crit lol....

fun concept and very well made overall but way overtuned.
1.collar and contain trivializes most bossfights,
2. smoke out is just the most insane aoe damage and the drawback of maybe blighting your own heroes gets completely negated by his
3rd laughably overtuned ability: sanitize which makes your party immune to any dot (you might notice, most stat ups are like 10% to resistance with a drawback...this guy buffs 30%+ resistance +stress resistance + stress heal)


10/10 for concept and powerfantasy
3/10 if you are looking for a new addition in line with the balancing of other classes

again, i really like this guy but wouldn't include him again for balancing reasons (try stacking 2 of them in farmstead, lol)

He pairs beautifully with the Trapper class mod.

In my head canon they're homies.

It's a great character with great concept, but collar and contain is waaaaaay to strong i think. I've never seen it fail and it basically neuter an enemy for the duration of the fight, i think it should be one time per encounter, for exemple i managed to bring a guy to -105% damage which should not be possible.

Also, he was able to move Hag from backline.

I like his story, seems heroic what OG heroes' stories lacked.

AoE blight goes brrrr!
Sanitize and Stomp Out are good skills too
Great hero, thank you for creating him. I like your other mods too.

Great class ...just please nerf "smoke out"

Hey snorlaxxo, I don't know if you are still active in DD modding but Exterminator lacks barks for being selected in the Heart's sacrifice, just a minor nitpick.

I'll pay you for a Dale Gribble skin for this class, he already gives me Dale Gribble vibes.
I will pay extra if you add in voice lines and sounds from KOTH

I'm curious if the exterminator was a predetermined character similar to Reynauld and Dismas, what would his predetermined quirks be?

Now I know I needed accessories to switch to health healing...But I still think it's a difficult character.

Read trinkets description

@snorlaxxo I'm working on shieldbreaker modifications and discovered one of the files is being overwritten by this mod. When looking into it I discovered that shieldbreaker\scripts\layout\shieldbreaker.popup_text.layout.darkest is modified, but the only change is adding "stage" to the end of the text. Any insight into what this does and what would be affected by overwriting this file? Debugger is flagging it as missing a : after "stage" as well- don't know what that has to do with this if anything.

Great mod btw, I always enjoy heroes with unique mechanics.

literally 1984

@ShallowIris at least he doesn't have quad mark

Too strong against rats! I will leave an angry comment

Any chance you could make a uh, black reliquary patch to our favorite rat gassing boy? if not, understandable, but I would love to see him in the game.

This class is very powerful, a great alternative to The Wretch. I only used Sanitize/Smoke Out/Trap/Stomp out and found him extremely effective. Pairs very well with characters that otherwise would harm your own team ex. The Rudiment.

Could you make sanitize refresh between waves on the farm? Just add ".refresh_after_each_wave true" at the end of sanitize. I did it myself but in case you do updates that would override it and I don't want to distribute my modification.

How to not hate the Warrens, the character.

Joking aside, this guy is pretty fun. In my last run that I eventually abandoned, I had an absolute unit of an Exterminator named Tilly who murdered multiple minibosses with his beartrap and always virtued. What a lad.

I wonder if he will be in the second part? It would be nice to see him after so many fights with him.It will be better and quieter

Hound Master / Plague Doctor / Exterminator / Forsaken make a devastating blight combo since PD can cure blight and add to blighted dot forsaken and transfer friendly blights onto himself empowering him (the PD cures him) as the smoke out blights everyone friend and foe alike further benefiting forsaken. Hound Master and exterminator compliment the beast damage and exterminator can also mark soooo more synergy for HM.

Absolutely adore how well this replicates the vanilla artstyle. He pairs great with the Druid, since she has AoE blight clearing, allowing the Exterminator to spam Smoke Out with no worries of friendly fire.

No better Hero to quell the Vermintide with.

Needlessly obtuse, unrewarding, awkward to actually use.

And looking into the mod's files, it's an absolute nightmare of garbage spaghetti. No wonder the character is such a wonky, unusable mess: even the mod's author couldn't tell what they were doing while they were writing it.

For future readers: avoid this mod and anything else the author has worked on. This specific one won't brick your game, but it's absolutely trash.

I like it. it wasn't what I thought he was gonna be, but now after using him I like it. can break guard,blight, increase resistances, very low party stress heal. and can pull annoying back liners forward.

Lore Apropriate!

This guy is a necessity for the ridiculously balanced vermintide dungeon. He can break all the horrible guards and also clear corpses the rats heal from while aoe blighting at a cost of negating your party

im in no way trying to speak ill about the work youve put into the character, its far above what i could make honestly, but i feel either the stradigy with the trinkets is either foggy to me or they may not have the right impliments.

i do enjoy his CoM trinket though, as it allows me to use him more in the Wealds

eyyo, wanted to start off by saying that i really do enjoy using this character quite well, and its fun using him in places like the warrens and cove to weed out the difficult enemies, but i have a bit of a question, maybe even critique if i may ask

im not sure the CC trinkets he has are much viable as they seam to do more negating than benefit, as when i use him most of the enemies die from the blight of his Smoke Out attack, so they dont leave any corpses to clear out, negating the bonus from the employment papers, and while the extra blight ammount from the dead rats is nice, its duration of one round of 6 blight is less than 3 rounds of 3 blight (while yess getting 2 rounds of blight in the same turn is nice, the base Smoke out, least with the anti-septic, makes packing the blight on better) and the trinket set bonus seams to be more of a reactionary effect, which can be bested with a Healing stone and the Gifted quirk to 60%

If you've ever installed and started playing this mod, you'll soon find yourself wondering, why the bloody hell this character is not canon, because he fits so well!

The Exterminator is one of these friends that always have a right thing in the critical situation, no matter if a giant bird pecks you, and you're bleeding, or a swine-folks try to make you into the dinner, he's always there with buckets of acid and traps that are much sharper than my sence of humor...

Jokes aside, the mod is awesome, it really sets the mood, helps in battles and feels very and very fitting during your crusades against Lovecraftian horror that is your Ancestor's basement... Respect and definitely advicing to try for yourself!

Hey I really like him and he's super fun to play with...but he's also extremely OP. Sanitize is insanely OP, Smoke Out is OP. the "hits the party too" is easily mitigated by the fact that Sanitize is INSANELY broken. Sanitize would be broken with just the resistances that lasts the entire battle, but the fact that it ALSO stress heals, and ALSO stress mitigates the entire battle is like coo coo bonkers insanely overpowered. When I add him to the party, I understand I am playing the game on easy mode.

I think the increased damage to beasts that Stomp Out has should also apply to bloodsuckers

His design reminds me of Mad God!

Just got the town event with the Plague Doctor. I love that they have a rivalry.

I really love his character design. He's a hero I use in one of my go to teams

Amazingly well executed, in both art and gameplay design. I get an immense satisfaction from using Stomp Out, and some of his barks are just gold. "Fatality guaranteed or your money back!" made me snort pretty hard

lol He REFUSES to join a party with the wretch in it XD Thats so COOL

ADORE this dude, very fun class to use. I especially love the Trap: being able to riposte AND being able to turn it into an attack on the next turn if the riposte wasn't activated is VERY dope. Team him up with the Plague Doctor and they become a Blight-induction killing machine. Also, I noticed that the Wretch won't play nice with him, had a good chuckle over that, especially cause if you COULD use both at the same time, that'd be game breaker level. Overall, cool-ass mod, kudos :)

@lunar grasshopper ratio

Now imagine if they wore Black Reliquary Armour.

Dunno if I can edit my comments on here and didn't see how. I was just curious about the file as I am doing a compatibility patch for my collection and that file came up. Only difference was stage was at the end of your file. The other mod doesn't. So I'll just go with the file from your mod via load order. Thanks for this great mod!
