Swamps/radiation pools	Mutate pre-detonation, releasing toxic clouds.
Snowy regions	Cold bombs freeze corpses mid-air.
Vault interiors	Use narrow corridors for maximum player panic.

AI Behavior Expansion

Adaptive Chaos System: Each suicider’s “chaos rating” influences their AI logic:
- Low chaos = calculated pathfinding, waits for line-of-sight.
- High chaos = erratic sprinting, wall-banging, zigzagging, self-injury.
Voice Cues: Some announce their intent, others whisper or stay silent for jump-scare tension.
Group Synchronization: Choirs, Puppet Bombers, and Extremist Cells coordinate detonations in tactical waves.

Encounter Design Examples

“The Singing Pit”

A ruined concert hall filled with Whisper Choir suiciders. Their humming causes hallucinations before they attack in synchronization.

“The Burning Faith”

A religious bunker overtaken by False Angels and Voodoo-Binders. Each explosion ignites prayer scrolls that set the whole area ablaze.

“The Rusted March”

A derelict factory where Iron-Junkers spawn endlessly from conveyor belts, each wired into the facility’s power grid.

Mutation/Tech Evolution Trees (Optional Mod Progression)

Type	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3
Bio-Organic	Chemical Freak	Ghoul Bomber	Spore Titan (massive bio-explosion)
Mechanical	Iron-Junker	Mind-Hacker	Mecha-Purifier (nuclear detonation)
Psychological	Vault Reject	Puppet Bomber	Choir Prophet (psychic AoE detonation)

Optional Mechanics for Fallout 5 or Mods

Detonation Slow-Mo Toggle: Cinematic slow-motion on near-suicide detonations.
Defuse Option: High-Perception or Science perk allows the player to disable certain suiciders before detonation.
Faction Integration: Raider clans, cults, and AI groups can each deploy unique suicide units.
Random Encounter Seeds: Chance-based ambushes in regions linked to relevant faction lore.

I. Grand Concept

Human Suiciders aren’t a single enemy type—they’re an ecosystem of self-destructive warfare born from decades of despair. They fill the same ecological niche as feral ghouls or mutants but come from distinct philosophical or experimental lineages. Each variety should tell a story through its death.

II. Expanded Behavioral Classifications

Chaos Level	Personality Type	Combat Pattern	Player Counterplay
I – Controlled	Trained martyr	Waits for line of sight, uses cover	V.A.T.S. precision disarm shots
II – Erratic	Chem freak/ghoul bomber	Zig-zag rush, laughs or cries	Use terrain and traps
III – Hive-Linked	Puppet or Choir	Group coordination, chain detonations	Eliminate command node
IV – Cataclysmic	Mutant or cybernetic titan	Delayed “core overload” detonation	Retreat or trigger early
V – Ritualistic	Cult zealot / supernatural	Symbolic stance before blast	Exploit animation wind-up

III. Mutation & Augmentation Sub-Trees

A. Bio-Chemical Line

Psycho Burners – veins glow orange; breath turns to vapor; damage = fire + radiation.
Neuro-Toxics – explodes into paralysis gas; causes limb shaking effect.
Hemorrhage Hosts – emit blood mist that attracts feral ghouls.
Spore Titans – giant, bloated forms releasing fungal bombs that create temporary “death gardens.”

B. Cybernetic Line

Reclaimer Units – fusion-core chest rig; emits EMP.
Servo Juggernauts – power-armored bodies welded to explosives; lumbering tank class.
Scrap Beetles – small remote drones made from human torsos.
Omega Mecha-Purifiers – boss-tier units detonating mini-nukes on death.

C. Psychic / Parasitic Line

Choir Nodes – telepathically link multiple suiciders; kill one → others scream.
Mind Eaters – parasite-driven hosts that whisper random NPC dialogue lines they’ve “absorbed.”
Soul Splinters – appear as blue-glowing corpses that detonate when looked at (gaze-trigger).
Prophets of Echo – send sonic pulses that invert player controls seconds before death.

IV. Environmental Adaptations

Region	Variant	Environmental Effect
Urban Ruins	Concrete Lurkers	Blend with rubble, explode in confined spaces—massive concussion damage.
Swamp Lands	Mire-Freaks	Gasoline-slick skin ignites the swamp water.
Arctic Vaults	Cryo Martyrs	Shatter into cryo shards; slow everything nearby.
Desert Radiation Fields	Sand Wraiths	Detonation creates blinding dust storm for 10 seconds.
Mountain Vaults	Echo Screamers	Sound bounces off cliffs; positional audio disorients player.

V. AI & Animation System

1. Emotional AI Core

Each suicider has an emotional “temperature” (Calm → Manic).

Calm: walks slowly, chants.
Rising: heartbeat audible, eye twitching.
Manic: erratic sprint, laughter, or crying.
Triggered by: sight of enemies, injury, chem use, or faction command.

2. Pre-Detonation Cinematics

Body Tremor: micro-shakes synced to ticking fuse.
Heartbeat Audio: low-pass thump increasing with proximity.
Camera Shake: slight radial pulses.
VFX: color desaturation, glow bloom, or radiation haze.

3. Detonation Subtypes

Type	Radius	Element	Secondary Effect
Frag	5 m	Kinetic	Shrapnel bleed
Fire	6 m	Heat	Lingering flames
Cryo	4 m	Cold	Freeze zone
EMP	8 m	Energy	Disable Power Armor HUD
Bio	7 m	Toxic	Poison + blur
Psychic	10 m	Sonic	Stun & disorient

VI. Faction & Lore Integration

A. Children of Atom (Reforged)

Now, weaponize radiation martyrs called “Rad Heralds.”
They chant verses from the Book of Glow before self-immolation.
Visuals: glowing crosses, bubbling skin, radioactive aura.

B. Rust Saints (New Raider Faction)

View mechanical self-mutilation as purification.
Their “Iron Faithful” graft junkyard engines to spines.
Explosion leaves smoldering metallic residue collectible for crafting.

C. Vault X-21 Remnants

Failed experiments turned emotion bombs—their brain implants release neuro-waves.
The player can loot Emotion Cores used for crafting persuasion buffs or hallucination grenades.

D. Synth Rebellion Cells

Deploy hacked synths that self-destruct to erase data.
They whisper binary prayers: “0101 be my release.”

E. Ghost Order Cult

Believe souls escape through noise—perform group detonations accompanied by harmonic chanting.

VII. Encounter & Quest Concepts

1. Mission: “The Choir of Ash”

Investigate a church where bodies sing post-mortem due to implanted resonance chips.
End Choice: shut down the sound system or weaponize it for crowd control.

2. Event: “March of the Iron Saints”

During a thunderstorm, fifty Rust Saints march toward a settlement chanting.
Player must sabotage their detonator frequency before they reach the gates.

3. Side Quest: “Vault of Tears”

Find logs explaining how Vault psychologists tested despair chemicals that birthed the first suiciders.
Rewards: perk “Emotional Defuser” (10 % chance to calm suiciders with dialogue).

4. Random Encounter

Caravan ambushed by Puppet Bombers. Each wears a signal collar linked to a transmitter tower—destroy tower = save survivors.

VIII. Audio / Visual / UX Layer

Voice Design: multilingual chanting, reversed Latin prayers, static-filled radio sermons.
Music Cues: detuned cellos, rising heartbeat drums, Geiger counter ticking tempo.
HUD Warnings: Geiger spikes, heartbeat overlay, subtitle flashes (“Laughter detected”).
Death Aftermath: lingering smoke silhouettes, echoing screams fading into wind.

IX. Gameplay Systems & Player Interaction

Defusal Mini-Game: Science 5 + Perception 5 opens timed wire-cut interface.
Interrogation Mechanic: capture Controlled-chaos type to learn faction routes.
Recruitable Variant: rare “Broken Saint” companion who can self-sacrifice once per battle.
Crafting: harvest detonator cores to craft trap mines or chem grenades.
Settlement Defense: assign settlers with “Purifier Shields” to intercept suiciders automatically.

X. Cinematic Boss Concepts

• “The Radiant Father”

A towering ghoul in tattered preacher garb carrying six fusion cores.
Phases: sermon → glow → mass detonation causing lingering fallout storm.

• “Mother Circuit”

Half-human, half-AI. Spawns drone suiciders; self-destruct causes EMP blackout of entire region.

• “The Wailing Coven”

Three synchronized zealots; killing one enrages the others, culminating in a triple-detonation chain.

XI. World Impact System

After major detonations, nearby environments retain:

Radiation zones that fade slowly.
Fear aura: NPCs react nervously or avoid area.
Faction reputation: mercy or brutality in dealing with suiciders changes dialogue outcomes.

XII. Modding Blueprint

Creation Kit Setup:
- Custom AI packages per chaos tier.
- New Perk Trees: Chemistry of Despair, Mechanical Martyrdom.
- Explosion FX graphs (VFX + sound layers).
- Animation markers for “pre-detonation stance.”
Scripting Hooks:
- Random emotion spikes.

HUMAN SUICIDERS OF THE WASTELAND

A complete design and lore framework for Fallout 5 or advanced overhaul mods.

I. Overview

Human suiciders in Fallout 5 aren’t just reckless bomb-runners — they represent how madness, desperation, and ideology manifest after centuries of war. Their designs should convey why they do it, not just how. Each type shows a different philosophy of ruin — from cultish faith to chemical psychosis, cybernetic martyrdom to silent nihilism.

They are meant to:

Frighten the player psychologically, not just mechanically.
Alter how combat spaces are read — every shadow might hide a body ready to ignite.
Provide emergent storytelling moments through unique death sequences.

III. Behavior AI Logic

Each suicider uses a Risk–Reward Pathfinding Loop:

Detection Phase: Chooses path based on player noise and visibility.
Confidence Phase: If surrounded by allies, charges directly. Alone, may stalk or fake surrender.
Trigger Phase: Calculates proximity + morale. Emotional states influence the final decision (fear, rage, devotion).
Post-Death Phase: May cause area effects (fire, radiation, confusion, lingering screams).

IV. Advanced Chaos Spectrum (New Table)

Chaos Tier	Description	Awareness Signs	Player Strategy
Tier 1 – Controlled	Tactical, slow, deliberate	Visible detonator rig, calm speech	Snipe early or hack detonator
Tier 2 – Deceptive	Acts friendly or wounded	Shaky voice, inconsistent movement	Use V.A.T.S. to detect explosives
Tier 3 – Ambush	Hidden until triggered	Faint hum, movement under rubble	Mines or turrets to flush them
Tier 4 – Frenzied	Chem-induced mania	Yelling, laughter, erratic sprint	Aim for legs, stagger
Tier 5 – Ritualistic	Religious or supernatural	Chanting, glowing marks	Disrupt ritual or distance blast

V. Environmental and Faction Context

• Urban Hubs

Molotov and Run-and-Grab variants use alleyways for short-range chaos.
NPCs may react in panic, creating crowd chain reactions.

• Caves & Metro Systems

Silent Suiciders and Burrow Bombers thrive — darkness amplifies fear.

• Military Bases

Rust Runners and Synth Suiciders guard data centers; player must use EMPs.

• Cult Temples

Sirens and False Angels line corridors, chanting before mass detonation.

VI. Cinematic Direction Notes

Pre-Explosion Tension: heartbeat filter, slow-motion breath sounds, player HUD flickers.
Kill-Cam Variants: fire reflection in lenses, slow blink before blast.
Environmental Lighting: red strobes, flickering lamps, silhouette emphasis on approach.
Post-Explosion Aftermath: ash drift, faint whisper echo, blood mist trails carried by wind.

VII. Player Countermeasures

Tool	Use
Thermal Binoculars	Detects heat from Molotov or reactor cores.
Pulse Sensor Mod	Picks up ticking detonators.
EMP Grenades	Disable cybernetic suiciders.
Fear Suppressor Perk	Reduces panic blur effect from psychic detonations.
“Defuse on Sight” Skill Tree	Slows time for wire-cut minigame when aiming at detonator.

VIII. Settlement Defense Integration

Build Suicider Walls: shock grids that instantly neutralize charges.
Alarm Siren System: NPCs shout coded colors: “Red = fire runner; Blue = silent type.”
Reclaimer Crew: scavengers trained to collect unexploded devices for crafting.

IX. Boss-Tier “Suicider Icons”

A. King Ignis (Molotov Messiah)

Leader of Fireborn Cult. Appears wreathed in flames, holding multiple fuel tanks. Explosion triggers a city-wide inferno event.

B. The Quiet Man

A mute ghoul assassin who explodes only when you look directly at him — gaze detection trigger.

C. Mother Latch

Mutant matron producing “Latchers.” Players can kill her or cut power to her detonator nursery.

D. The Choir Supreme

50 synchronized suiciders whose detonations form a sonic dome, leveling everything inside a cathedral.

X. Persistent World Consequences

Psychological Aftermath: NPCs discuss witnessing suiciders; morale drops in nearby settlements.
Environmental Scars: Burned zones, craters, radioactive pools remain for days.
Faction Evolution: Surviving cults may evolve tactics — silent types start appearing after repeated fire-type massacres.

XI. Modding Implementation Blueprint

Animation Sets:
- “Ignition Stance” (Molotov raising arms).
- “Grab & Pull” (Run-and-Grab tackle).
- “Silent Detonation” (still pose + light bloom).
Sound Layers: 6-track system — heartbeat, breathing, whisper, ticking, distant screams, fuse hiss.
Papyrus Scripts:
- Random delay timers for unpredictable detonation.
- Environmental triggers: flame spread, radiation waves.
DataTables: Chaos Tier, Faction, Detonation Type, Emotional State.

XII. Example Encounter Chains

1. “The Last Laugh”

In an abandoned theater, Laughers perform a pre-war comedy reel; when the applause cue plays, they detonate simultaneously.

2. “Ash Baptism”

Molotov suiciders conduct a burning ritual in a ruined church; the player can choose to stop or infiltrate the rite.

3. “The Quiet Zone”

The entire town is gone silent — filled with Silent Suiciders. The player’s audio slowly mutes as they approach.

4. “Grab & Go”

Run-and-Grab units attack during caravan escort; if one succeeds in latching, the caravan explodes unless the player shoots the detonator on the back.

XIII. Optional Advanced Variants

Echo Suicider: leaves behind auditory hallucinations post-death.
EMP Saint: disables energy weapons, forcing melee.
Plasma Vessel: glows green and vaporizes corpses.
Frozen Wailer: screams create shockwaves of frost.
Shimmer Drone Hybrid: combines human body with drone rotors, dive-bombing settlements.

XIV. Thematic Summary

Each suicider archetype should communicate a story of how civilization broke itself.
They embody:

Desperation (Molotov, Run-and-Grab)
Devotion (False Angels, Choir)
Deception (Mimics, Cryers)
Silence (Whispers, Quiet Man)
Mutation (Blight Carriers, Rust Runners)

Together, they transform Fallout 5 combat from predictable gunfights into psychological horror encounters, where the wasteland itself seems eager to explode.

Suicider Chaser (Runner/Hider Predator)

Core Fantasy

A relentless pursuer that accelerates when the player flees and switches to investigative search when the player breaks line-of-sight. Think “bloodhound + parkour raider + trap-sensing fanatic.”

Blackboard (new/important keys)

PlayerVelocity (Float) — magnitude of player speed
PlayerNoiseLevel (Float 0–1) — footfalls, weapon swaps, doors
LKP (Vector) — Last Known Position of player
LOSBreakTime (Float, sec) — time since LOS lost
BreadcrumbQueue (Array<Vector>) — footprints, open doors, recent sound pings
SearchRegion (NavArea/Volume) — computed from LKP + breadcrumbs
BurstMeter (Float 0–100) — sprint burst resource
ParkourPossible (Bool) — vault/slide path valid
DoorWeakness (Enum: None/Push/Kick/Explosive)
ScentTrack (Float 0–1) — optional “odor” leak from blood/chems/rads
AmbushSpots (Array<CoverPoint>) — corners/thresholds around LKP
TrapSuspicion (Float) — increases if the player drops mines/decoys near choke points

Behavior Tree (focused subtree)

BT_Chaser.root

Service: Perception/Clues (0.15s)
- Update HasLOS, DistToTarget, PlayerVelocity, PlayerNoiseLevel
- If HasLOS: set LKP = TargetActor.Location; push to BreadcrumbQueue
- If footstep/door event heard: append breadcrumb
- Raise TrapSuspicion when spotting mines/decoys in narrow spaces
Selector (priority)

A) Direct Pursuit

Condition: HasLOS == true
Sequence:
1. Task: EngageSprintBurst
  - If BurstMeter > 35 or PlayerVelocity > SprintThreshold → sprint mode
  - Blend path style: strafe/zigzag if within 10–18m; straight line beyond
2. Task: ChaseWithPredict
  - Predict intercept point: TargetPos + TargetVel * leadTime
  - If ParkourPossible → Vault/Slide tasks over minor obstacles
3. Task: ProximityDetArm
  - Arm the detonator when < chaseCommitRange (varies by difficulty)
4. Decorator: If DistToTarget < GrabRange and variant supports: AttemptGrapple (else, hard commit detonation)

B) Reacquire (Search Mode)

Condition: HasLOS == false && LOSBreakTime < SearchWindow
Sequence:
1. Task: MoveToLKPFast (cautious speed if TrapSuspicion high)
2. Task: SpiralSearch around LKP (inward–outward rings or EQS sweep)
3. Task: InspectBreadcrumb
  - Pop newest breadcrumb → move/peek; if clue confidence is high, set new LKP
4. Task: ProbeAmbushSpots
  - Peek corners/doorways → short “lean & listen” (2–3 sec)
5. Parallel: ListenPulse (gate by PlayerNoiseLevel/ScentTrack)
6. Decorator: If ScentTrack > 0.6 || PlayerNoiseLevel spike → HardPivotToNoise (sprint)

C) Breach & Path Forcing

Condition: Door/wall blocks the shortest path and DoorWeakness != None
Selector:
- KickDoor if light door, else ShoulderBash, else PlantCharge (tiny timed breacher)
- On success → ShortBurstAdvance

D) Caution vs. Traps

Condition: TrapSuspicion > T_high
Sequence:
- Task: TossJunkProbe (throws debris to trigger mines)
- Task: PathReplanWide (wider arc, avoids chokepoints)
- Then rejoin Reacquire or Direct Pursuit

E) Fallback Patrol

If LOSBreakTime >= SearchWindow:
- Task: BroadcastHowl (aggro VO; calls nearby allies)
- Task: ReturnToHuntLoop (reduced speed, resets suspicion slowly)

Global Decorators/Services

FuseCountdown when armed
BurstRegen when not sprinting
FearStimulus: If player aims high-caliber at short range → micro-zigzag + short crouch step

Animation State Machine (additions)

ASM_Chaser

Locomotion_Chase
- Run_Fwd, Sprint_ZigZag, Strafe_Fwd45, Slide, Vault_Short, Vault_Long
- Additives: Lean_Peek_L/R, Listen_Still, Sniff_Short
Search_Investigation

- CrouchInspect (tracks/scuffs) with hand sweep anim + head dip
- Door_TestHandle → Kick/Bash (branch by DoorWeakness)
Breach
- KickDoor, ShoulderBash, PlantCharge (with timer & flinch loop)
- Notifies: SFX_DoorImpact, VFX_Splinters, optional SFX_BreacherBeep
Commit/Detonate
- Sprint_Commit (lowered head, arms tight) → PullPin or CoreOverload
- Camera shake ramp + heartbeat sidechain

Blend params: Speed, BurstMeter, HasLOS, LOSBreakTime, IsBashing, IsBreaching, DetonatorArmed, TrapSuspicion

UE5 Tasks (concrete hooks)

BTTask_EngageSprintBurst
- If PlayerVelocity > X → BurstMeter -= drainRate; set MaxSpeed = Sprint; play Sprint_ZigZag
BTTask_ChaseWithPredict
- Predict the target using FMath::VInterpTo toward Target + TargetVel * t
BTTask_SpiralSearch
- Generate EQS ring points around LKP; pick by cover/visibility
BTTask_InspectBreadcrumb
- Consume breadcrumb; if fresh (<10s), raise clue confidence; set LKP
BTTask_BreachDecision
- Query door health; select Kick/Shoulder/Charge; set montage branch
BTTask_TossJunkProbe
- Spawn a small physics prop along the nav-path to trigger traps
BTService_ListenPulse
- Every 0.5s, raycast toward sound sources; if hit occluder thin, mark ParkourPossible
BTTask_PathReplanWide
- Recompute path with “AvoidChoke” nav filter

AnimNotifies

AN_FootstepLoud → raises PlayerNoiseLevel feedback loop potential
AN_BreachImpact → apply camera shake to the nearby player
AN_ArmDetonator → set DetonatorArmed=true; FuseTime = VariantFuseChase

Player Readability & Fairness

Telegraphing while fair:
- Sprint inhale + arm pump when burst triggers
- Audible “handle rattle” before kicks; short red glint on pull pin
- Distinct listen/peek pose during search (chance to escape or flank)
Counters:
- Sound discipline (sneak/soft shoes) reduces BreadcrumbQueue growth
- Cover clutter breaks ZigZag lines → forces breach/slow search
- Decoys (thrown radios) spawn fake breadcrumbs
- Foil breach with bar locks (buy time)

Encounter Blueprint (example)

“Subway Predator”

Player breaks LOS in metro tunnel → Chaser sets LKP at the corner.
Chaser enters Search_Investigation: lean, listen, sniff.
Player tosses decoy radio → HardPivotToNoise.
Player sprints to service ladder → Chaser detects ParkourPossible, transitions to Vault_Long and re-acquires.
At 6m, CommitRange reached → FuseOnCommit (1.4s).
Player shoots detonator mid-charge to disarm (skill check) or dives behind pillar.

VFX/SFX Cues

Chase Burst: wind rush layer, footstep cadence doubles, breath rasp
Search Mode: low-pass filter + subtle “sniff” and fabric creak
Breach: layered wood/metal splits + dust plume decal
Commit: heartbeat sidechain + UI vignette pulse if within lethal radius

QA Hooks / Debug

ai.chaser.showEQS 1 — draw spiral search points & breadcrumbs
ai.chaser.forceBreach — force breach pathing on next door
ai.chaser.burst 100 — refill BurstMeter
Heatmap log: time to reacquire after LOS break; false breadcrumb rate; trap deaths
