Basic information

Wesker is great for moving quickly around the map and putting pressure on the group.

1. Name: Albert Wesker,
2. Height: Moderate,
3. Terror Radius: 40 meters,
4. Movement speed: 4.6 m/s,
5. Difficulty level: Moderate,
6. DLC: Yes.

Power and perks

Wesker's special power is the Uroboros virus. It allows him to perform fast vaults. Thanks to this ability, he can effectively shorten the distance and jump over obstacles. But more importantly, it allows you to grab survivors and throw them. Any such attack infects the enemy. In addition, if you hit an obstacle with a survivor, they will receive damage.

The infection charges over time. When it reaches its maximum value, the survivor's movement speed will be reduced, and using the power on them will make you automatically start carrying them regardless of their health state.

The infection can be cured with a spray that can be found in crates. If the survivor use it, you will receive a notification.

How to play Albert Wesker?

Mastermind will work great if you like fast killers but have trouble mastering Nurse. So you can use his power to shorten the distance. However, it is definitely better to grab survivors with it. That way, you will infect them, which will build up and ultimately slow down the infected enemy.

Wesker performs moderately well in loops (we described them on a separate page of the guide). This is because charging abilities causes a temporary slowdown. Therefore, it's better to let go if you get stuck in one of them for a long time. It is better to create pressure on the remaining survivors.
