Catte

"A bucket has suddenly been placed on top of you.."

Template:Gootraxian Catte (simply pronounced as Cat) is an orange feline Gootraxian.

They have pure white eyes and light creamsicle underbellies, neck fur and inner ears. They also usually have bright orange buckets on their heads.

Players infected by a Catte do not have a bucket on their head like those infected normally do, but they are able to pick up new orange buckets found around the map.

Abilities

Bucket Drop (Death)

When killed, the bucket from a Catte's head will drop to the ground, waiting to acquire a new host to transform.

Eject

They may eject the bucket they have on their head. After ejecting it, the Catte is able to re-obtain their bucket by finding another one around the map and stepping on it, which does not include the recently ejected bucket or a bucket dropped via another player. The ejected bucket will despawn after 30 seconds if no one picks it up.

Slip Hazard

Cattes may use their bucket to create a row of puddles in front of them. To create a puddle, the Catte must have "Slip Hazard" tool equipped and then click/tap the screen to create a row of orange puddles. If a human steps in these puddles, they will be ragdolled and take 5 damage.

For every puddle placed, the ability cooldown increases by 6 seconds, for a total of 36 seconds if every puddle is successfully spawned. If a puddle attempts to spawn in an invalid location, it will be ignored by the ability and not spawn at all.

Puddles may be stepped in multiple times by survivors, but the puddles disappear after 15 seconds.

Transformation (Blackout Only)

They can transform into a Buck during Blackouts if they obtain a black bucket, which replace the orange buckets during the event. The orange bucket must be ejected first in order to equip the black bucket.

Removed Abilities

Spill

Cattes may spill the bucket to make a hazard. To create a puddle, the Catte must have "Bucket" equipped and then click/tap the screen to create an orange puddle. If stepped in by a human, these puddles deal 30 damage per instance. If the individual is wearing a Hazmat Suit, the damage dealt is 18 per instance instead. The size of these puddles can be increased if the ability is used on a pre-existing puddle. Creating a puddle deals 10 damage to the Catte while expanding an existing puddle deals 1.75.

Puddles may be stepped in multiple times by survivors, but the puddles disappear after 15 seconds.

Acquirement

Catte can be acquired by walking over an orange bucket from anywhere around the map, losing all health to a Catte puddle or by being directly infected by another Catte Gootraxian, though you won't have the bucket upon infection for the latter two. It takes about 23 seconds to be infected after putting on the orange bucket.

When equipping the bucket, the following message will appear:

Tips

Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.

• Catte is very good at shutting down large areas of the map via covering it in buckets and puddles, so it's recommended to set up a puddle in a place where a lot of humans travel through, such as the Cafe Gate, Hound Room, and Garden.
• Your puddles only last around 15 seconds, so it's usually not a good idea to leave your puddle's general area unless you either have another Catte take care of it or don't care about the puddle disappearing.
• It is impossible for Catte to put puddles anywhere inside the Flooded Area, Cafeteria and the Freezer, so it's not recommended to be near those areas unless you don't plan on staying.
• For easy access to playing as Buck, it's usually a good idea to just play as Catte and wait until the event starts, rather than playing another Gootraxian and trying to guess when it happens.
  • Catte's unique ability to create puddles on the floor allows you to secure yourself an area to wait near buckets instead of resorting to using the smaller puddles around the map.
    • Due to the fact that Catte's abilities are more versatile and easily usable, while Buck's are more difficult and event-locked, some would prefer to avoid playing as Buck if they have a high infect streak.
