Loadout

Lazarus is the only Medic who doesn’t possess a second healing ability. Instead, his Lazarus Device brings a character back from the dead, an extremely valuable skill—provided the team can keep him alive. Lazarus also carries a sniper rifle similar to Val’s, but his has a faster fire rate.

Silenced Sniper Rifle

Mastery Reward: Increased Damage

Damage per Bullet: 30

Weak Spot Damage Multiplier: 1.5X

Ammo Capacity:10 Rounds

Lazarus’ Silenced Sniper Rifle is a semi-automatic rifle that creates weak spots in the Monster’s armor. Press the Primary button to equip the gun, and squeeze the trigger to fire. The Aim button allows you to zoom in through the built-in scope, granting more accurate shots. You can press the Reload button any time before the 10-bullet clip runs out to fill it back up.

Hitting wildlife or the Monster with Lazarus’ sniper rifle places diamond-shaped targets on the enemy. The Hunters can then hit these marks for extra damage. This pairs nicely with high-powered guns like the Rail Cannon.

This may sound similar to Val’s sniper rifle, but Lazarus’ weapon is semi-automatic and produces no tracers. It shoots as fast as you can tap the Fire button. This allows you to spread out many weak spots in the Monster’s armor, while spending less time doing so. However, the damage bonus is less than what Val’s gun produces.

When the Monster is first found and the Mobile Arena is deployed, hit the beast with as many shots from your sniper rifle as possible. Line the foe up in your sights, and rapidly tap the Fire button to lay down as many weak spots as you can. Spread them out so that inaccurate weapons have a better shot of getting the damage boost.

Lazarus Device

Mastery Reward: Increased Recharge Rate

Cooldown: 12 Seconds

Trigger Time: 1 Second

The Lazarus Device is what makes Lazarus who he is. With it, he can bring dead Hunters back to life. Tap the Secondary button to equip the device. Approach a downed or dead character, and hold the Fire button until the red charging meter fills up. Reviving a Hunter with this device does not add a strike to his or her health.

When a Hunter dies, an icon appears above with a semi-circle meter over the top. This slowly counts down until that Hunter can no longer be revived. Get to the victim before the body disappears. Remember that you can use the device on an incapacitated character.

When Lazarus is on the team, it is important to avoid picking up downed Hunters, unless of course it is the Medic who has been incapacitated. Avoiding strikes against the Hunters helps greatly down the road.

Be patient with your revives. There is plenty of time to get to the Hunter once he or she has been incapacitated. Wait for the Monster to lose interest, use the Personal Cloak, and sneak over to the Hunter corpse unnoticed.

Note that a Hunter’s health will be low after being revived. Immediately use a Healing Burst if available.

When Lazarus is teamed up with Maggie, Daisy tends to avoid reviving the Hunters unless necessary. This helps when trying to avoid strikes.

Personal Cloak

Mastery Reward: Increased Duration

Cooldown: 35 Seconds

Max Duration: 12 Seconds

The Support class has the Cloaking Field ability, but Lazarus has his own personal one. Tap the Equipment button to go invisible temporarily. This allows Lazarus to sneak past enemies or walk over to a helpless Hunter.

Call out to your team when deploying the Personal Cloak. That way, your Support Hunter doesn’t double up with his Cloaking Field. When a fight turns bad, Lazarus needs as much invisibility time as he can get.

Whenever possible, save the Personal Cloak for revives. Frequently, the Monster will keep an eye on downed Hunters, especially when Lazarus is on the team, so stealth is vital for getting to them. Go invisible, sneak over to the incapacitated character, perform the resurrection, and quickly get out.

Watch out, as Goliath’s Fire Breath can reveal a cloaked Hunter’s location. Try to stay out of reach of his attacks. Water puts out the flame, if there happens to be any nearby.

“The Reviver is fully charged! You may die as often as you wish!” — Lazarus

Fighting the Monster

During the hunt, Lazarus’ main focus is keeping the team healthy and tagging the tougher wildlife with weak spots. The sniper rifle does a little damage, so it is possible to take down weaker creatures, but you may want to channel your time and effort toward your core strengths.

Lazarus really earns his money when it comes to the big Monster battles. First thing after the enemy is captured in the Mobile Arena is to load it up with weak spots from the sniper rifle.

At this point, Lazarus should flee to the outside edges of the battlefield or up high on the cliffs. Higher vantage points give you a better view of your entire team. When someone requires medical attention, drop down, use a Healing Burst, and quickly flee again. Wherever you watch the action from, try to keep teammates in between you and the Monster.

Teammates should plant traps on these high points, but immediately get out to avoid attracting any unneeded attention. Mines, Sentry Guns, and Harpoon Traps make great deterrents.

When a Hunter goes down, use the Personal Cloak, and drop down to his or her side. Bring the character back to life, and again, flee to your safe spot. There is a cooldown time between uses of the Lazarus Device, so you must time the revives well when multiple Hunters get in trouble.

Watch out if Lazarus is downed, as the Monster will often camp his body. This Medic is an important target for the enemy, which goes out of its way to ensure that Lazarus is out of the game as much as possible. Try distracting the beast to move it away from the body.

Lazarus is tough to get the hang of, but he is a very powerful Hunter when played well. Remember to stay out of sight as much as possible when in combat, and silently swoop in for revives when characters are incapped.

“What possible reason would I have to bend the laws of life and death in this manner?” — Lazarus
