Nexus Colony Map-Specific Kills

Overview

Describes in detail the 3 special ways you can die on Nexus Colony, how to execute these kills as a duck, and how to avoid them as goose.

Introduction

The Nexus Colony brought with it 3 new ways to die from map hazards, and it does not feature the airlock found on the other two maps. Two of these kills are directly associated with sabotages and the other is just there. From what I can tell, you can only sabotage either the Teleporter or the Shuttle each game, never both, and you can’t choose which one you get.

Shuttle Slammed

This kill cannot be instigated by a duck. A player with any role who stands on the shuttle platform while the shuttle is entering from the other side will get run over. You can tell someone has died this way because a blood splatter appears, but the body cannot be reported.

Don’t walk onto the platform unless you have a task there. If you have a task on the platform, only do it immediately after the shuttle has left your side, or after you’ve died.

Shuttle Asphyxiation

Duck sabotage, not a guaranteed kill. It only works if the shuttle doors are closed, there are players inside the shuttle, and the sabotage is not fixed. This will kill players of any role, and will kill a player hiding in the shuttle vent as well. Timing the sabotage is much easier if you’re dead.

1) Activate the shuttle Sabotage in Docking Bay.
2) Call the shuttle sabotage while the shuttle is between stations.
3) Hope that no one fixes the sabotage within 30 seconds.
4) If the sabotage wasn’t fixed, all players within the shuttle will die by asphyxiation.

Only use the shuttle when absolutely necessary. Immediately head to the shuttle sabotage when it goes off, especially if you’re nearby.

Teleporter Malfunction

Duck sabotage, not a guaranteed kill. Players cannot see when the teleporter is sabotaged, but they will know it is safe if the shuttle sabotage has been called. This trap can kill any player besides the ducks (ducks are immune), but a sabotaged teleporter doesn’t kill 100% of the time. If you die to the teleporter, there is no body to report.

1) Activate the Teleporter sabotage in Security.
2) Call the Teleporter sabotage when there are players on the right side of the map.
3) Hope that other players use the teleporter while it’s sabotaged.

Be cautious about using the teleporter. Take the shuttle over if you aren’t willing to take the risk. Use the teleporter as much as you want if shuttle sabotage has been called.
