i will wait

Certified Dead Space 3 moment

meh he so easy i can just run from him, give him a gun atleast so i couldnt run from him

@Dia you should be thankful you get to have anything in the first place, now get on your knees and say ahhh

Why it doesnt spawn??
I have shaders at high

Oh I see. I'm not playing as the Howler, I just don't like the Jockey so I wanted something to spice up the gameplay a little, since the Howler's a better addition than a reskinned Hunter.

When any infected (not the Howler specifically) spawns too far from the survivors, they get kicked after a few seconds, but I see why you'd do that now.

idk what i did wrong, but i cant get it to spawn at all

To keep despawning while also preventing the Howler from despawning i had to implement custom code to bring despawning back.

If its kicking infected players that's something I can fix.

Surprised youre playing versus w the honkler cuz I thought it crashed whenever someone took control as one

This mod kicks far away (from survivors) Special Infected for some reason, including infected players.

If only they took inspiration from the Glasp then they'd actually have a good invisible insta-killer. Damn shame what we got instead

Recently the howler has been more durable idk why, and fire mkes he move 10x faster even when flashed with flashlights, makes the game more fun i just wish it spawned more often

Too quiet + too hard to see since he can blend in which makes it rather annoying than scarier. Make him a bit louder and more visible at least.

amazing ideia but he could be even scarier

don't work in vesus tho

This is a perfect addition to create a true horror atmosphere for this game!

I actually DO LOVE this mod! <3
However I also noticed some minor drawbacks, as well did some people below in the comment section. These minor details might be improved and corrected to achieve prime horror experience!

Here are some of my ideas for authors:

1) Change "JOCKEY!" call out sounds for survivors when they see Howler with: "-Ruuuun!" - "Oh ♥♥♥♥!" - "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! RUUUN!" or even replace it with survivor screams to show that they actually terrified!
For example: Rochelle have a voice line "This is not happening... this is not happening..." which perfectly describes situation, in which survivors could possibly face The Howler;

2) Replace default Jockey's *BACTERIA MUSIC* - let's say with OST "FADE" from game "OMORI".
Imho it's very fitting for Howler's spooky vibe and appearance;

3) I'm not too sure how difficult it would be to implement this in the game, but programm BOT teammates to AVOID Howler and PREVENT THEM FROM SHOOTING at it. Bots just keep waste their weapon store on this ♥♥♥♥...


This is it for now. But it would be a pleasure for players (especially for me ngl XD) to see you add these imorovements for Howler. Peace!

can u make it for spitter instead because spitter goo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ makes my pc shoot its self

Would it be possible to make this mod work on vanilla l4d without the nightmare modpack? (in case that hasn't been done yet)

yo can you port this to source filmmaker?

I'm retracting my previous comment because, after I published the other one I got to playing with the mod again and found it wasn't total B.S and was kinda easier this time. All those other times I just got unlucky with the bots getting stuck somewhere and dying, but luckily they cut that ♥♥♥♥ out.

The only complaint I have now is that during day campaigns it feels somewhat empty with the Jockey not appearing, and it'd be cool if we could have them swap when it goes from day to night.

I give it an honest 8.9/10.

Make another addon where the howler could spawn more often bruv!

any way to make the howler spawn more often?

so uhh... nobody knows how easy it is to deal with this thing??

- there's a music cue when it spawns.
- its very loud and easy to tell where its coming from.
- when bots see it, they shoot it constantly so you know when it's there.
- just burn it as soon as you know where it is and move back as much as you can.
- nightmare isn't really intended to be played with bots anyway. its playable with them, but they don't know how to avoid it. much like how in vanilla they don't avoid tanks once someone goes down. so just move back, they'll follow you.
- it might not even spawn at all.

this is far from the hardest part of nightmare you guys. you just gotta not rage quit after meeting it for the first time.

his shadow thing model does appear in the model gallery part

hey man uh idk if i should dm u personaly but like the howler is out right not spawning or im just really unlucky i tried to force spawn him in sandbox and even then he didnt appear

Balancing got thrown out the window with this one it seems.

I bet that Cry of Fear kid is straight jorking it

@ wretched feline My friend and I met once. After lighting it with fire, it took a long time to destroy it.

Maybe this could be made into a VScript special infected like one comment below me said. Make it spawnable alongside normal Jokceys. All it's stats and very low spawn chance (like 1%) are kept. But now it's killable, BUT it has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of health, maybe a bit more than the Tank.

doesn't even spawn for me, doesn't work, i installed every required thing, got rid of conflicting mods, and it just doesn't work.

Great idea and concept. Worst execution ever. Is there any reason why he has to instant kill you? Like that is the most unfair mechanic I've seen yet. It's even worse when you are in a closed area. If he shows up and you had nowhere to go, you're completely done for.

2/5. Great idea but it has so many flaws

i think it'd be better if it had the same materials as the cloak subject 617 has in the hidden source

This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen on this workshop and it has great potential, but unfortunately that's the only thing it has. It only replaced the Jockey, but is still labeled as one, so bots will stand there and accept death, and boss types can still spawn along side it. 0/10

can someone or the creator make this into a new special infected? i would love to see this attack me along with the jockey...

Howler isn't showing/spawning in tumtara maps as well as trying to spawn it with commands. It was working just fine for me a couple of hours ago

Solo in the subway of no mercy this thing is practically impossible to deal with.

dope mod, definite a strat changer the moment i hear it.

v LMAO v

The green flu mutation? more like Ghostbusters 2019. How does this have anything to do with a zombie outbreak exactly? You lazily removed the jockey from the game. You're breaking steam ToS, I payed money for this game, on sale, and you're making mods that remove content from it, this is basically Helms Deep all over again. Doesn't help that this mod insists upon itself.

can I mail you some bombs from a factory
a bomb factory to be specific

No <3

can u bring back the aesthetic death changes pls

nooo!!!! my cirteeecasm is always right!!!11 bad mod!!

I find it really funny how many people within the last 3 days keep repeating the same thing about The Howler being unkillable.

I know what video this is coming from, guys. He even says himself that the Howler can actually be killed now and I do actually appreciate the video, and tbh the version of the Howler he played with 2 months ago (which was when he seemed to play it based on what stuff was in it and what wasn't) was WAY more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and less refined than the version that exists now.

I will always appreciate criticism for the stuff I make, but the least you guys can do is make sure that said criticism is actually accurate. It makes me feel like some of you guys never even played with it and are just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on something for the sake of it, which isn't helpful to anyone.

no matter which dynamic it is, i always found the howler soft locking campaigns which is just an auto losing continuation with the modpack. not really fun

meh. should have made it a snail

An invisible immovable force enemy that deals splash damage with the linearity and close quarters of left 4 dead campaigns? What a great idea. Said no one

I like this mod but... the description says it spawns only once, and not on finales

guess who spawned 4 times on the passing and kept spawning on the No Mercy Finale

i had this with the script only so it turned into an immortal jockey that kills you

This is actually scary wtf, bc what do you mean i am forever being followed by the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GRIM REAPER HIMSELF, the moment he spawns. all i can do is fear knowing THAT THING will one shot me AND is the only infected that can not be kill
