Welcome to the thrilling, asymmetrical world of PURSUITCORE on Roblox! This game plunges you into an internet-themed survival horror experience where a team of Users must outwit and escape a powerful Terminator. Whether you’re a seasoned player looking to refine your tactics or a newcomer eager to understand the latest additions, this Pursuitcore Roblox guide is your go-to resource. We'll break down the newest characters introduced in the Strife Act 1 update and explore the exciting special game modes that keep the gameplay fresh.
Understanding Pursuitcore: The Basics
PURSUITCORE is an asymmetrical survival game developed by TamaCorp, drawing inspiration from classic internet themes of the late 2000s and early 2010s. In each round, up to seven Users work together to gather fuel and power generators, all while trying to escape through a portal. Their mission is constantly threatened by a single, formidable Terminator whose goal is to hunt them down. Success in PURSUITCORE hinges on understanding character abilities, map mechanics, and adapting to dynamic situations.
Meet the Newcomers: Characters & Their Abilities
The Strife Act 1 update brought several exciting new characters to the PURSUITCORE roster, each with unique abilities that shake up gameplay for both Users and Terminators.
Tack 9: The Agile Sentinel User
Tack 9 is a Sentinel user available in the shop for 999 points. Her kit revolves around mobility and debuffs, making her a tricky opponent for any Terminator.
- Wall Jump: Tack 9 kicks forward in the air. Hitting a wall makes her bounce and glow, altering her other abilities. This move has a 2-second cooldown on its own.
- Skullbuster:
- Standard: Tack 9 enters an aiming stance, slowing her movement but allowing her to fire a skull that pushes enemies back and applies a debuff. This debuff extends stun durations by 25% for 6 seconds or until a stun lands.
- After Wall Jump: Transforms into a flying, auto-aiming attack with a 30-second cooldown.
- Dropkick: Tack 9 hovers and charges velocity, then kicks forward, gaining i-frames. On hit, she pushes and stuns the target for 1.5 seconds. The strength and duration depend on her charged velocity, which scales with speed boosts. This move has a 27-second cooldown.
- Divekick (After Wall Jump): Tack 9 slams into the ground, creating a shockwave. A direct hit stuns for 1.5 seconds, while the shockwave pushes enemies into the air. This has a 22-second cooldown.
Mastering Tack 9's Wall Jump is crucial.
The Wall Jump transforms her Skullbuster and Divekick, enabling more aggressive plays and providing excellent mobility for escaping or engaging. Practice using it to initiate altered abilities for maximum impact.
The Kid: The Fragile Survivalist User
The Kid is a unique Survivalist user, unlocked by winning the "I Wanna Be The User" game mode. He offers a high-risk, high-reward playstyle.
- Legendary Cape (Passive): Grants The Kid the ability to double jump, enhancing his evasive capabilities.
- Fragile (Passive): The Kid has only one health point, meaning any hit from a Terminator (or even a zombie) will down him.
- Pistol: His only active ability fires a pistol shot with infinite range. This shot puts all Terminator abilities on a 0.5-second cooldown, making him a potent disruptor despite his fragility. It boasts an incredibly short 0.1-second cooldown.
Jack Noir: The Combo Terminator
Jack Noir is a combo-based Terminator, available for 1,413 points in the shop. He excels at chaining attacks and singling out Users.
- M1 - Veggie Sword: A 3-hit combo dealing 20, 10, then 5 damage. Missing or completing the combo puts it on a 2-second cooldown, while hitting extends the combo window.
- Eldritch Tentacles: Sends out two tentacles that grab and pull Users, dealing 110 damage each. This has a 15-second cooldown.
- Omnipotence: Puts all other moves on a 4-second cooldown. Highlights all Users and teleports Jack to the furthest one. This ability starts on a 10-second cooldown at the start of a round and has a 22-second cooldown afterward.
- Behead: After a windup, Jack gains i-frames and charges. Hitting a User deals 25 damage, marks them, and resets Behead's cooldown. This can be repeated until a miss or hitting a marked User, which deals 5 damage and ragdolls them. Using Omnipotence during a Behead combo teleports Jack to the furthest User before dashing. Be careful of Vinnie, who can block dashes. This move has a 14-second cooldown.
- Red Mouse: Charged by dealing damage. On activation, several homing red mice fly out, dealing 10 damage and bringing Users to 1 HP (except for The Kid, who dies). The damage requirement increases with each use.
Captain Limewire: The Ranged Terminator
Captain Limewire is a Ranged Terminator, purchasable for 1,200 points. He specializes in long-distance engagements and precise targeting.
- M1 - Hook Swing: Deals 30 damage with a 1.6-second cooldown.
- Torrential Leap: Fires his cannon, soaring into the sky, highlighting Users, and slamming down. Landing on a User deals 25 damage and ragdolls them. Trajectory can be aimed. This has a 17-second cooldown.
- Limelock: Aims his gun, visible to all. Fires a piercing hitscan bullet dealing 10 damage and applying the "magnetized" debuff. Movement is slowed while aiming. This has a 12-second cooldown.
- The Limewire: Aims his hook without movement penalty. On hit, pulls the User towards him. Timing a click with a "ding" sound effect allows him to grab, blast into the sky, and slam the User for 40 damage. All other moves go on a 4-second cooldown. The hook slightly homes in on magnetized Users. This has a 15-second cooldown.
Navigating Special Game Modes
The Strife Act 1 update also introduced a "wheel of special modes" that appear every few rounds. Players vote, and the wheel selects one, offering fresh gameplay variations.
- I Wanna Be The User: A single User receives buffed health and reduced cooldowns, facing off in a Last Man Standing (LMS) against a team of Terminators. Winning this mode as the User unlocks The Kid character.
- Versus: Users get 50% extra health. Two Terminators compete to deal the most damage, with the ability to stun each other for 1 second. This mode adds an interesting layer of competition and friendly fire.
- Super Block Boy World: The primary Terminator is replaced by Block Boy, a super Terminator who is faster than others and cannot be stunned. Block Boy's only ability is an M1 ground slam that deals a massive 125 damage. Any player who dies can also become a Block Boy, turning the game into a chaotic free-for-all.
General Tips for Pursuitcore Gameplay
To truly excel in PURSUITCORE, understanding your role and character is paramount.
- For Users: Focus on objectives. Prioritize fueling generators and staying together when possible. Map awareness is key to avoiding Terminators. Utilize your character's unique movement or defensive abilities to create distance or stun your hunter. The Kid's pistol, for instance, can be a game-changer by delaying a Terminator's abilities.
- For Terminators: Learn your character's combos and movement options. Jack Noir thrives on chaining his M1 and Behead. Captain Limewire needs good aim and positioning for his ranged attacks. Understand when to commit to a chase and when to patrol objectives. Don't underestimate the power of applying debuffs, like Limewire's "magnetized" effect, to set up future attacks.
The constant updates and evolving meta mean there's always something new to learn in this Roblox experience. Stay adaptable and practice your character's unique mechanics to become a true master of the game.
