The church is full of madmen.
That's right.
Is it related to cults or evil gods?
Nope.
This is simply one of the many surprises Lincoln prepared for the players.
What's the saying?
Who can resist going Unparalleled against a army of enemies?
To make this "Unparalleled" feel more layered, Lincoln also separated the enemies who were surrounded by layers.
With the player at the center, the innermost circle consists of unarmed enemies.
Their goal is to disarm the players.
Whether it's stealing the player's Weapons or using their own life to consume the player's ammo, it doesn't matter, as long as the player is drawn into close combat.
These enemies may be scary to look at, but more so, mentally frightening.
Their Combat Power is not that high, just a "greeting" effect.
Outside this circle are enemies with weapons.
Weapons range from fruit knives, daggers, umbrellas, clubs, walking sticks, stool legs, and even metal prosthetic legs, all readily available materials.
