About[]
Punchzerker is a Rare Character in Death Road to Canada based on one of the main characters from another Rocketcat game, Punch Quest. He was added in the October 2018 HUMERUS update, though he could only be found in the O*P*P MODE lobby, in the Experimental Hut. He was later properly implemented as part of Gnomey's rework in the March 2021 LIVER update, though he cannot be permanently recruited outside of O*P*P Mode.
No stats are revealed upon recruitment, however he always starts with 5 Strength and Fitness, 0 Shooting and 6 Attitude.
Special Abilities[]
Punchzerker can throw ranged punches (based on the Shodukin' super move from Punch Quest) with his special weapon, with a cooldown of 2 seconds between projectiles.
Gnomey[]
As of the March 2021 LIVER Update, Gnomey has a chance to spawn Punchzerker upon hitting a zombie. Unlike other allies spawned by Gnomey, Punchzerker does not disappear until the end of the mission, however he can only be spawned once per mission.
Trivia[]
- Kepa's Trello board for the game's development mentions Punchzerker as part of planned improvements for Gnomey. Specifically, Gnomey would gain the ability to summon allies, including a Battle Rodent, another gnome (with no mount) and Punchzerker.
- Prior to the March 2021 LIVER update, the ability to fire projectiles was innate to Punchzerker, rather than his weapon, meaning it would function as a regular Gauntlet if obtained by any other character.
