Traits
- Cocky persuasion — Persuasion barks are character-flavoured — his are cocky; whether flavour carries mechanical differences is unverified. Unverified
Richard Hawthorne is the second Digital Deluxe hero — full name now confirmed from match footage. What the footage also shows: persuasion dialogue is character-flavoured, and Richard's barks are distinctly cocky. Flavour is confirmed; whether it carries any mechanical difference is not.
What we know
- Deluxe edition character, alongside Alexis.
- Persuasion voice lines are his own — the game gives each hero a personality in the recruitment system, not just a skin.
What we don't
His stat card and trait values haven't been read on screen. No verified evidence supports Deluxe heroes being mechanically stronger than the standard roster — Alexis's kit is specialist, not superior, and there's no reason yet to expect Richard differs.
How to play him
Until his card surfaces: flex into whichever opening role your lobby lacks, and lean on the hero-agnostic fundamentals — lights, doors & noise, three-slot discipline, and a grab-escape knife when you can start with one.
