Buck

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

Bucks are a blackout-exclusive Gootraxian and the blackout variant of Catte.

They resemble a cat, with grey fur and a black underbelly. Black stripes run along their arms and legs and they sport purple horns and spines, similar to Carnelines, which emit a faint, purple glow in the dark. They also have small purple markings under their eyes.

Abilities

Bucks have significantly more HP other Gootraxians, boasting 130 HP in total (110 HP without their buckets)<ref>Update log of HP nerf, originally had 150 HP https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/919210720388849704</ref>.

Unlike Catte, they cannot eject their buckets and do not drop them upon death. They also cannot grab, which has been replaced with the ability to throw their bucket and deal 20 damage to whomever it may hit.

The latter only works if they have the required headgear. Otherwise, they cannot perform the action and have to obtain another black bucket.

Acquirement

Bucks can be obtained by finding and wearing a black bucket while already playing as a Catte Gootraxian.

It can also be obtained via infection from another Buck Gootraxian, however, you will not be wearing a bucket and as a result will not have the additional 20 HP bonus that comes with it.

Trivia

• Prior to receiving a nerf and the addition of the Nightcrawler, Bucks had the highest amount of health in the game for a non-Slime Gootraxian at 150 HP.
• Bucks are one of the only few Gootraxians who can outright kill survivors.
  • In this case, they can do so by using their buckets. However, without their appropriate bucket, they will be unable to do so outside of Blackouts.
• Bucks are the first Gootraxian to have a unique or complicated way of obtainment.
  • The low health requirement in order to be infected was removed, making the process of obtaining Buck easier.
• Although normal Bucks lose their purple crystals upon a Blackout ending, if one were to be infected by a Buck outside of the event, they will keep the crystals.
  • This may or may not be intentional.
