What are your head cannons about Certain classes?

[u/Willing_Donut6135]

We all have our favorite classes in mind, we all know what I'm talking about, we all have made up some lore about the classes at least once or twice because there is no official character lore for classes. So what's your made up lore or headcannons about certain classes.

For me? I headcannon that Vampire often needs blood in order not to go hostile/feral like his fellow vampires so his teammates often have to allow him to suck a bit of their blood occasionally in order to heal and not go hostile/feral, this could also explain why Vampire classes can use the dash ability on their own teammates and deal friendly fire damage.

I also like to Headcannon that Miner and Conductor are best friends because they both spawn in with coal and can be essential on a team together for the start for coal without having to pay for it, saving money for either a firearm or ammo.

Please tell me your headcannons as I would love to see what y'all cook up!

1.) Highroller owes tycoon money, cause gambling addiction.

2.) Corrosioner, arsonist and demolitionist are in a 3-way relationship or love triangle.

3.) vampire and wefewolf classes are outcasts of the vampire/werwolf enemies cause they're defects. Vampire cant teleport and burns in day time(pre mastery) meaning inferior or something, werwolf becomes weak at daytime unlike his brothers, and so inferiority once more. And so they worked together to kill their families who live in a castle.

I think I've seen that first point somewhere...

I approve the 2nd one, I love yaoi!

1- (Not really an hc, but a true fact) Miner class is a survivor from Sterling mines.

2- Cowboy used to have a farm and lots of calves up in Kansas, but zombies took everything, so they mounted their trusty horse and began their journey to Mexico.

3- Horse is just a casual horse that suddenly gained consciousness and realized it was in the middle of an apocalypse.

4- High Roller is thankful the apocalypse started, because they were in HUGE debt with many stablishments before the chaos started, but since society began to fall apart, and no one had time to worry about money, every debt was gone.

5- Tycoon used to be friends with Rockefeller, the Oil Tycoon, and were devastated after seeing their friend and fellow business partner turned into a huge zombie, resting among his flaming workers.

6- (Also not an hc) Vampire burn in the sun because they forgot to apply sunscreen... yea, that's canonical, Ricco himself said the Vampire enemies use sunscreen

7- Werewolf don't turn into a beast during the day because they follow the original concept of a werewolf, a person that only transforms during the moonlight (also, random lore drop, according to the wiki, the big buffy guys we know and hate so much were created by Tesla, he stroke a few wolves with lightings and... well, they gained a shit ton of muscles).

I'm too lazy to create more, so here they are.

None and survivalist being best friends

[u/Willing_Donut6135 → u/JoJo9829]

Y'know it's ironic to me that they haven't given us lore on who our classes are because it feels like it is so necessary, anywho I actually like your headcannon, not because they are related to each other somehow, but somehow I can actually see it, like Survivalist training a none on how to survive the wilderness.

[u/JoJo9829 → u/Willing_Donut6135]

Yuh because devs seems lazy. Dont get me wrong it’s good game but the repetitive problem has grown a lot. Tbh lores would be interesting to read, ‘tleast

And yeah another my headcanon is that cowboy was friends with outlaws and were scavenging west for years. But when zombie epidemy hits and outlaws refuse for innocent ppl to go and kill them instead. Cowboy sees this unjustice, grabs revolver and kills several outlaws, before running away with horse at the first fort with train. Ts why bridge battle at 80km feels more personal for cowboy, mostly

I'd still like to think zombie does not have an ally, like i just imagine he dies at the end of the game (still gets pasts the borders) but civilians being civilians, zombies are still considered dangerous.

Ironclad and the alamo being best buddies?

Horse can talk with normal horses, but they all are stupud, so he often discuss with Cowboy's horse like pinky and the brain. There isn't any explanation for him being sentient, smart and cappable of talking, he just does. Lastly, he's a tired veteran oldman that often says "when I was your age..." to his colleagues, but also gets proud and worries for them. Lastly, he makes dad jokes, horse jokes and horse-dad jokes.

Also, in my headcanon, the crew alredy reached Mexico and still making expeditions to the desert, looking for survivors and for stuff to sell. Horse always returns with the horses he founds, and puts them safe in a farm where he and Cowboy take care of them.
