- Hi I'm back at it again with another ROBLOX Decaying Winter Theory! be sure to Like and subscribe and do all the other funny RUclips things or uh.... idk I can't really force you can I? Anyway yeah ROBLOX Decaying Winter has perks and in this video I talk about the lore behind all 21 perks in ROBLOX Decaying Winter. have fun I think!!!!!
#roblox #decayingwinter #theories
Uh do the funny,
(Sorry for the audio sounding funny in the beginning, idk why)
Also correction: Sq was not ever a former agent. She killed an arbiter and stole their agent container and that's why the turrets don't attack her and why she's considered a "high value target." The fact that she's one of 2 high value targets on Eden, with the other being a former agent, shows that the arbiter she killed was of importance, still giving merit to my arbiter theory.
3 minutes into the video and you already got the lore wrong
sledge queen isn't an agent lol
@@-poeivshe is former agent, have you like, ever played the game or beaten her? She drops an agent container on death, is wanted for betraying the agency when looking under the excecutioners goggles (just like Yosef) and the base guns will not target her because she is a former agent. This is literally common knowledge
@@-poeiv need I direct you to the wiki
@@NotOofLegacy the wiki is made by people who has no idea what they are doing
the trello is literally made by enforcers (mods) and people who knows their stuff
@@NotOofLegacy i understand that you don't know alot of stuff about lore like joining a discord server just to read about the lore of the game instead of finding it in the game itself is kinda lame tbh
but don't act like you are the master of lore who knows everything
Fun fact: Jericho from holdout doesnt just have immolator's ability, they can also arbiter longshot, meaning he was possibly an extremely high rank because of him combining two abilities.
But he wears a shirt that war torn shirt so something must have happened
It’s not a longshot, it’s the regular shot
Yeah I can see something bad happening to Jericho since he wears war torn shirt which has an unfortunate description in quartermaster
probably berserker too imo, he has a stimulant that's equivalent to the eru scout's
More on jericho, they had a friend or a lover that was a fanatic about guns and used them a lot, this resulted in them dying for over-reliance on guns. Jericho now hates guns and is committed to melees if you talk to them they'll tell you that sometimes guns aren't enough and relying on them too much will get you killed. you can see a photo of their friend/lover/sibling on the table next to the cigarettes. I'd appreciate it if you put this in a video, if you don't then I'll put it in one of mine.
This isn’t about the perks, but I thought it would be worth mentioning. The woman that Yosef hangs is most likely the agent Valorie. (I think I spelt it wrong but you get the point) In the quartermaster, the description about the skull bandana says something about an agent calling out the skull bandana as tacky, mentioning the person wearing it was an agent named Valorie. The echo playback shows a person resembling Yosef hanging two people. The first one is probably important, but I think the second one is Valorie. The two sin cultists that escaped the lab probably used the two bodies hanging from the execution for a ritual, half the body for the blood that might’ve been used to make the ritual, which would explain how they made one without anything to use, and the other half as the subject for the actual ritual. It might not of worked at first, so they tossed the body into the mountains to cover it up, then maybe the hatred from the betrayal as well as the ritual attempt caused them to resurrect as a being hatred, wanting to have others feel what they felt. In fact, maybe the lords in hell or something idk had to use the hatred and agony of others to resurrect them for a purpose. This could explain why sicklers are always crying, maybe navies their hatred took place as a tragedy, or why skinners are always yelling after shedding their disguise, maybe feeling anger after the knowledge of a false hope of some sorts, and maybe the hidden’s parents left him lol so he turned invisible. Maybe the the apostle’s agony was left long behind him, and as vengeance from the demons are whatever, as you said, he will have to bleed to through the pain, because maybe that’s how he feels his agony.
Also where I said navies, I meant because.
Hidden's dad went to get the milk
One of the echo playbacks has Yosef looking at a dying woman as two scavs are behind him (obviously they killed Valorie). Yosef later hung them on top of the tower for disobeying orders.
Also Archeximus explained that the "hanger has no relevance to agents, the hanger is a shadow of reikgon"
Valorii survives the events. The 2 AGENTs Yosef hangs are those whom shot him at Valley.
@@ediblematter9280 Reikgon's Shadows may be human, but Red has confirmed they arent related fondly to AGENTs. Hanger's nature could notably be from the corpse of the woman that was shot there ( She didnt pull the trigger at gunpoint )
The Apostle’s description on its mastery challenge shows that they were “Rejected by the denizens of below” before clawing their way back. I believe that the Apostle was sacrificed or something by the cult that took over the hidden agency base, and somehow, they not only survived but managed to return to reality of some sorts. I think they might have made a pact with the rulers of whatever place they were sent to and were bound to it’s will, hints Theourgia’s Hand, maybe they’re appeasing some kind of deity through spilling blood with the weapon. And perhaps this entity is lending The Apostle the ability to raise Rekigon, who may have been people like The Apostle who didn’t bargain with the thing.
This is just my take on it, I doubt that it’s correct, but I figured I’d put it out there.
Solid theory, but I think they refer to maybe other cultists "below his rank", or the shadows; therefore being Reikgon.
This could also roughly explain why Apostle managed to leave without major reprocussions.
But to note, Apostle doesnt have to be from Eden-227.
They couldve been from what is currently "New" Earth.
Looking at it more, the initiation test kinda has shadows consume whole people, not for sacrificial means but as a conversion (likely with connection to Reikgon)
The Apostles reject Reikgon... somehow managing to escape.
The Mark or Theourgia's Hand may be related.
@@Midnight7629 Now that I think about it, it does say in the Apostle’s quote below the perk “Absorbed by shadow and chose rejection” so this does make sense.
rekligon shadows are vessels of rekligon basically
My theory on the Executioner. This theory talks about the posibility that the Executioner and the Vagabond were Mercenaries that the Agency hired. But with your theory of the Vagabond, I decided that it was irrelevant and the theory behind the Executioner is the only valid one. The Executioner is there to hunt criminals who have a bounty on their heads, but his goggles seem to be self-made. The goggles that he is using is a modified ANVIS10 Panoramic NVGs, which by the time of DW, is extremly outdated, being replaced by integral helmet night vision. So i theroise that the Executioner modified an old set of the goggles to scan through criminal databases and claim their bounties to gain scrap and also invigorates him to get more bounties, therefore when you stack kills with Executioner, you deal more damage with the more kills.
It was more likely The Agency provided the goggles, theyre stretched thin, but a connection with these goggles to a criminal database is possible, since "old earth" tech could be easier and cheaper to revamp.
Do you even read challenge descriptions?
It's worth taking a look at the dialogue for getting mastery on each perk, Tickspider mentions them being a part of Paragon, and mentions something about deities. I think that they're some sort of member from a cult organization, but either defected or are merely working with the agency as part of an alliance.
they're an advocate from the PARAGON company sent to work with the agency
Tickspider is most likely outsourced. The Agency acquires AGENTs by outsource, usually their own AGENTs with their own provided equipment or outsourced equipment.
Paragon is an supplier for the agents and Ulacylon. As you can see with the red revolvers from anomalous activities (I like to associate the shadows with the demons and anomalies from Anomalous Activities)
@@Midnight7629ou do know that in the level 5 challenge's description. They say that the Agent's company/ulacylon was going to send them their hardware once they proved themselves that they can survive without relying on things like shotguns on wrists or scanners that have the ability to see anybody's health
@@Iwasheldatgunpoint Ulacylon isnt related to DW...
My man sounds depressed like me after getting a 2.5 gpa
Bro I had a cold 💀💀💀
The majority of agents should be survivalist besides specific perks, like Yosef not having any perks what so ever. Canonically it would be impossible to be apostle, most have a backstory that is kinda revealed when you complete the challenge from them. It would be cool if archexmius added like a passage about each agent after you beat the challenge for each agent’s perk
really? I think they're damned cuz most of them doesnt seem to aim downsight
@@funnyrat-sf8mlhe doesn't have handcuffs neither he is (probably) a prisoner
Crosslink lore was about people being curious how capable agents are and what can they do, Thus the agency made the crosslinks to dance of wires to show how good their agents agility and dexterity is
i usually thought of damned to be a survivor from the winter, then some random scav snuck behind him, threw some unbreakable cuffs, and made him watch everything he loved die [ i also thought of the scav as the annoying slegdehammer scav ] and then threw him back where he found him and walked away like nothing happend. thats what i think the description is refuring to, he lost his friends, stuff, heck he even lost his own combat capabilitys.
the only way to continue is survive and not die
I like how all of these damned lore theories are mostly sad and deep and then in the trello it says that damned is just agents in debt.
@@studz3460 RoN fans be like : " *deficit* 🤓"
Almost like the scav is Sith, enjoying watching another scav suffer.
Some of my theory about Apostle:
1. The Apostle Agent is a successful experiment of changing human to subhuman. This theory seems to be somewhat interesting because the story will be something like this: The Agent was a cultist before and they willing to be a experiment subject, after the experiment, they are able to control the Reikgon. But this theory come to a lot of weird thing: like why would Apostle join the Agency? Escaping? Traitor?
2. The Agent got experiment and got rescue after that. I don’t have much things to say in this theory but it come with a lot of issues
3. Apostle is a early stages of transforming: Notice that skinner was looking like human before you attack them? It pulls out Theourgia’s hand and its body turn black. This maybe the middle stage of infection. Late stage probably the sickler. Apostle is the early stage. This come with a lot of questions like how did they became Reikgon? I don’t really know about this because Red don’t give much about Reikgon’s origin.
These theories talking about Apostle being capture.
I’m also thinking like if Apostle is a subhuman then why is it much weaker than the other Reikgon? Is it because of human part?
Some more theory about Apostle’s strengths:
1. The experiment did to Apostle was a early development type. A very early development can lead to a lot of issue and weakness, you can notice that both Skinner and Apostle is Reikgon, but Skinner is much stronger than Apostle.
2. Apostle is a early stage of high ranking Reikgon. Yes, Apostle maybe weak, but it can summon more Reikgon. But these Reikgon seems to be off, they use scythe instead of Theourgia’s hand, this maybe a improvement in strenght but reducing durability variation of a normal reikgon we usually see.
Some more stuff about Reikgon:
We see that Reikgon like sickler and hanger are crying, this maybe a sign that Reikgon was a human before. They were sad that they don’t looks like normal person, when they been attack or trigger, especially angry state, the Reikgon take control over them. This can lead to why sickler and hanger were really passive at first.
Reikgon’s different variation is interesting, consider how different these Reikgon acts:
Sickler: A man who don’t want to be a Reikgon
Hanger: A depressed child who want to end his/her life yet became a hanger after that
Skinner: idk yet, maybe they are the original form of Reikgon that can turn them into a human or just a human been fully controlled by a Reikgon
There's definitely more information that you could get from the mastery challenge descriptions, not sure if you used those for information.
Also as a tickspider main im very upset that I know nothing about PARAGON, is there any information available about them? Are they an organisation or is PARAGON a nickname for some famous engineer? They are definitely engineers seeing as they made the ticks, and one or two versions of a gun In anomalous activities.
This is really stretching it, but the achievement for tickspider talks about PARAGON as a cult. In bloons td you get PARAGON towers by sacrificing other towers of the same type. So maybe PARAGON is a cult that sacrifice themselves to make each other stronger.
@@scarfstrings.134 You mean to tell me... That PARAGON could be a powerful cult that is in several video game universes. Now that is an awesome theory.
@@rainger-76 thanks
PARAGON is a company that supplies mercs and probably also supplies the agents/ulacylon since there's an bootleg model OF the AJM 9 in AA
SOF IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANRY FROM DW HOW MANY TIMES
Zealot is probably the child of Zealot Void, a UMG unit in SOF
Immolator is literally just the backup version of Berserker
Drifter didn't work for the agency at first, they were a hitman on their own terms.
Hivemind just thinks that robotic bees = his friends. Make sense why they have lowered defense?
Sovereign was most likely a server of someone or something (maybe the commander or the other guy) and Prepares ritual spells during every night.
Apostle is just reikgon servant that quit the skinner changing process-mid working it and that's why Hanger calls you a traitor.
Fun fact damned is a agent who failed to pay his debt
ok so on the Reikgon they are experiments due to some rival organization of Ulacyon or the Agency. Also the Hidden is one of the originals due to its dna being implemented into random scavs or test subjects turning them into skinners after death. Also the hanger is a female who basically causing people to *oof* themselves from her own looks. Then the sickler is an experiment they believe would’ve destroyed the agency but it was kept in chains keeping it from going on rampages. Then, the Executioner was hired as a bounty hunter being directly payed through his goggles as shown when taking them off after killing enemies and they mainly hired him to take care of the large amounts of hidden around Eden-227. That’s all I know for now. I’m also not entirely sure if this is real or not.
Also the idea of the Reikgon being zombies is not far from off. Due to the Sin Cultist being the ones who injected the Hidden’s DNA into people. That’s why they’re in the lab
You saying hang is ugly?
None of these are correct. Theyre all shadows created by Reikgon.
Good luck figuring that out.
Don't ask me further depth, I will simply respond with

sledge queen was never an agent, she was just an elite raider who deserted the other elite raiders because she wasnt interested in their goals and brought her companions with her, when the LS update was announced in the discord this was the description given to SQ. As for her container, eyepiece, and augmentation knuckeboom, these were all stolen from the agency, and agent zero is probably just some nickname
zero is another agent (maybe a civilian?), but she died by sledge queen's raid
Agent Zero isnt real.
The Container more rather the A.G.E.N.T. Device (which interacts with it per sé) was likely provided by Yosef (they had a rough allience type thing.) While the knuckleboom being more advanced than the one Arbiters use could be much more advanced, since they can use it around 5 times in quick succession.
( Launch attack: 3, Close BOOM: 1, Longshot Anti-flee: 1)
Thank you for reading something official, god forbid nobody else seems to do it.

personally I think the apostle isn't a zombie but I dont think your completely wrong either. what I mean is i'd say is that the apostle isnt completely dead but slowly rotting- or I guess you could say *decaying* and probably gets worse and worse the more they use their powers. also a part of apostle's description is "you believe in your end drawing near" it more implies that they aren't really dead but definitely not gonna live on for any longer
(tho at that point they would probably be a complete zombie)
I don't think apostle is a zombie, I think they are creating zombies (ie shadow hunter= zombie)
@@NotOofLegacy Mate. Reikgon isn't a nickname for a cult. It's the literall god. Also do you ever wonder why sicklers are chained and crying? They probably died while having an mental crisis. Skinner? He probably has the power of agony and rage. Hanger? Somebody committed unalive. Hiddens? The cultists probably killed people and then used their soul to create them. Shadow hunters? Well your teammates might have suffered *ALOT* of pain before dying. Like morale, crippled legs, broken bones, constant tinnitus, Extreme blood loss, Poison, painful virus all that kind of stuff. I view the shadows as like tormented souls
@@NotOofLegacy ideally Apostle was someone who was being initiated, but mid initiation they rejected Reikgon's control...
Having a small fraction of Reikgon's Power; they can summon Shadows amok other things, though it takes a toll on their body since it was probably not processed for it.
Who or what Reikgon is eludes even the Agency's databases.
(its likely a who)
I think blitzer mastery name says allot "Rolling Thunder". It was an United advocacy group that seeks to bring full accountability for prisoners of war(The organization) . There also was the Rolling Thunder military operation. It was a frequently interrupted bombing campaign that began on 24 February 1965 and lasted until the end of October 1968. During this period U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft engaged in a bombing campaign designed to force Ho Chi Minh to abandon his ambition to take over South Vietnam.
So blitzer was a vietnam soldier probably a jet fighter that's why he haves the passion of using bombs. And later he tried to help prisoners of war. Probably the show participants from "The survival of the fittest" were ex soldiers,and that's how blitzer first met the U.M.G .
That or because his Burst "Gifts" are basically a warcrime
You know, considering they violate the Geneva Convention.
Rolling Thunder could also just be a reference to the bombing campaign in relation to the perk ability.
The rolling thunder mastery is a throwback to an SOF gamemode known as "Rolling Thunder" where missiles come down and explode the whole map.
@@Someschmucck something i overlooked, thanks
@@Someschmucck woah
I definitely think the Artillerist's ability (the gun you use) was used by the Commander since in the description of one of his armor pieces it talks about how he fought through the horde by killing each person with one clean shot between the eyes, and the Artillerist's ability rewards you for making consistent headshots
Executioner was likely a sole mercanary who did the dirty work for cash.
You ask me to come to your comments, and share my ideas?
Your funeral.
Damned and Survivalist are on-point, and I have nothing to add to them other than Survivalist should be buffed to have 2x the Auxiliary equipment, and maaaybe both Survivalist and Damned get more befenits from Traits. I know this video has nothing to do with the gameplay, or that my comment literally won't matter, but I'm putting it here anyway.
Now, Lazarus. You seem to have misunderstood the perk, by looking just at the description.
Lazarus isn't actually a doctor, they don't get any benefits relating to healing, they just Ubercharge people. Their name is based off of the "Lazarus effect", which is when a person does things like breathe or blink post-death, despite, well, being dead.
The in-game Lazarus effect prevents death, *and* pain. My usage of the term "Ubercharge" wasn't just a silly refence, I find it likely that Lazarus is more a scientist than a doctor, much like Medic from TF2. My guess is that they lost people dear to them in battles, and used the pre-existing nanite technology to find a way to keep people alive when shouldn't be possible, and baked in pain inhibitors just because they aren't a total nutjob like TF2 Medic. My main basis for this is that they don't use/get any more benefit from healing items, and you'd guess a doctor would be better with a medkit than some random Agent.
The Prophet one is pretty on-point as well, so you don't get another paraghraph of text.
The Zealot one is also pretty accurate, but allow me to add somethings to it.
The turret is deployed on field, but when it runs out of battery it gets *warped out* with the same sound effect that plays during the Evacuation Ending. This means that the Zealot has some means of communicating with somewhere, further enforcing the high-ranking officer as failsafe warp drives don't seem to be given away freely in the Agency.
Mindflayer was probably indeed a scientist, most likely on involved in neurological ones. They also seem to have no qualms literally mind-wiping people, so they get put on the high tiers of my "TF2 Medic alikes" list.
Vagabond? You mean Off-brand Raiden? I mean, it is confirmed that high-frequency blades exist in the DW universe from AA, so why couldn't they give an elite Agent one? Come on devs, get on this.
*Your Arbiter theory is wrong. It is completely and utterly wrong.*
Reason?
Arbiter is V2. Case closed.
Yeah, hitman definitely fits Executioner. They could also be an actual Executioner, tasked with regular executions, but that could also just be a part-time job.
Immolators are clearly pyromaniacs that went to the extent of getting cybernetic enchancements to turn their very blood into fire, and even though the aforementioned "fire" can have consequences if overheated, not only does it fuel their flamethrower infinitely, it also allows them to fight better as they heat up.
Yeah, Berserkers are literally just dudes who like big swords given drugs. They can't even loot ammo properly, for goodness sake!
Now I'm gonna skip over to Hivemind as I don't have much to add to the rest. And ooh boy. I'm actually gonna call bs on your theory this time, because...
First of all, the Hivemind is mosty likely quite literally made of the "bees". Hivemind has the peculiar upside of being immune to bleed, which could hint at many things, but having "bees" act as blood for them is the one that makes most sense to me. And also in the futuristic setting of DW it's not unlikely that an actual hivemind could exist, the bees' brains being connected and acting as neurons to make decisions for The Collective, as per the mastery title. Now, the gibs of Hivemind sadly do not include a bunch of bees flying away, but I'm gonna assume that one's the devs.
So in short, Hivemind is a quite literal hivemind, their(this time plural) blood made of individual members, and presumably brain made of the same matter as well, actually that's more likely that they connected to eachother in there and are acting as a brain collectively. I'd go to the extent of saying that the Hivemind is just a shit ton of bees in a trenchoat, which would be supported by the debuffs, but I'm not gonna go that far... Yet. They also carry additional members along with them, so that they may go out and fight.
Now, that's where I'd cut it, but since you asked for help on Crosslink I'll oblige.
They're most likely an ex-criminal, who used the wire-knives to not only block the people chasing them but to make paths for themselves, hence the "walking" part of their description. That's the best I've got, though.
And wow, you've either read this fucking novel of a comment, or have skipped to the end! Here's a TL:DR for you:
Decaying winter Perks are classes.
Have an above-average rest of your day.

The artillerist perk title shows the lore “Agent Peacemaker”. That means the agent who originally own the perk code name is Peacemaker. Why is it peacemaker? Cuz he uses revolver called peacemaker ig.
Pretty sure its a more western joke mixed in with the fact the company that provides Artillerists the firearm is named ARGENT.
They aren't zombies exactly, they do however use the souls of the dead and turned. The reason they work as they do is through a being known as reikgon (Who also exists within the world of SOF) a stage 5 threat to the agency ulacylon and more.
my take on damned
He is a person whom either betrayed the agency or was a RIS operative that was took hostage (Day 82 in SoTF is somewhat a reason on why the RIS attire fits with the perk)
Once they were taken in by either UMG or Agency they were now sent to E-227 as a way to test their loyalty (in terms of showing that they should be spared.. We know what UMG or the Agency will do)
Some reasons why they were probably sent to E-227:
They were tested on by the Agency or UMG and were sent there as a way to dispose them
They tried to run away from either Ulacylon or The Agency and failed and was sent there as a punishment

FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO ALSO LOOKS AT THE CHALLENGE DESCRIPTIONS!
what i'll say about hivemind is, the user has gone insane with the hive mind type of thinking. the device that lets the user control the hive is most likely to bond hivemind to ingame mechanics and not make it too easy/op for the user. what i'll say is that hivemind would likely have the nanobots attached directly to their brain and controls the hive in any way they want.
I have not been catching up with dw lately because I got bored of the same game everytime cuz if they change anything from the map then BOOM entire lore changed just by ONE CHANGE
man i have always wanted more info on the lore of perks, thanks for making this, also i like the idea that each perk is a different person.
Whenever an AGENT dies, that person dies entirely.
Survive. Seriously.
You could say that Blitzer is a lower-ranking or a pawn used by high ranking Arbiters in combat due to them both having similar abilities revolving demolition. EDIT: Crosslink could be a mercenary that revolves around traps and using "accidental" methods of killing targets who was brought to Eden-227
Arbiters augmentation replaces their arm entirely.
They are willing to give up alot more than the blitzer, whom doesnt quite use demolitions, but actually bursting "gifts" (like mirvs somewhat)

The hive mind is also protected by their hive of bugs, who stop bleeding and demolish anyone getting in melee range
ALR ALR HEAR ME OUT BUT I THINK DAMNED WAS THE WINNER OF SOF STILL KEPT PRISONER IN HIS MIND.
I recommend playing demise of Eden because the dialogue of characters talking to each other is interesting, because Valorii talks about how Yosef is as crazy as her, killing those people at the outpost
Demise of eden goes hard ngl
People talk about umg and sof, BUT, tickspiders mastery title is a PARAGON advocate, PARAGON makes weapons for dw and aa (anomalous activies also made by archeximus).
.
Additional theory:
The anomaly in aa is an experiment gone wrong, some company tried to create their own reikgon/ tried to modify a reikgon to be pure or work for them, which backfired as they now have to maintain anomaly fields, HOWEVER this implies that the anomaly is a reikgon like the hidden, just much more advanced by being able to summon other reikgons, create bombs, summon weird fleshy fences that only reikgons can pass through.
Because of this (and the reikgon boss in last strandeds) we know there are different tiers of reikgons, maybe for each 4 we see in dw, like the anomaly being an upgraded hidden
The reikgon boss in last strandeds being an upgraded sickler, leaving hanger (yikes) skinner.
.
EXTRA additional theory: the upgraded skinner is the corpseflower (can meld guns, somewhat tanky big damage)

Anyways yeah, tickspider uses PARAGON equipment aka used to work for the aa team / just uses paragon equipment / is a paragon technician or engineer
Aa and dw aren't related or connected
Delta perk: Lazarus
Jericho perk: immolator and arbiter
(Sq: your arbiter perk is mine)
Doeman perk: blitzer
Iliji perk: Artillerist
Allies weapons:
Turret weapon as shotgun
Scar l with grenade launcher
Malice
Sv 98
blitzer daemon
@@redguns.iguazu ok
Defector daemon is not a arbiter he just uses a grenade launcher in his gun and Ilija it's just a paid assasin
daemon is just survivalist, he doesnt use blitzer or arbiter or anything, he can slide grenades outta his pocket
I have a theory on cross link
Crosslinks were hunters or trapsetters of some sort.
These guys are made to snare enemies for them to have perfect condition to finish them off. They were hired in the agency due to their ability and equipment that works better than snares. Since they are Low on stamina, the Agency thought that they should send them with teams.
Drifter apostle and crosslink were all hired during the events of decaying winter if you look in the challenges for unlocking then it says stuff like "a individual is wanting you to prove you can [blank]" I believe all of them were persons of interest before joining for example apostle was defently a cultist of some kind before betraying the others and eventually joining the agency
vagabond theory:
since looking at vagabond mastery description
even agaisnt all odd's you manage to come out on top
may this title show other's, how one word can hold immense power
maybe saying that vagabond was still a nomad, just killing people even if all odds are agaisnt them, they use their speed to their advantage as to not get hit (because they are fragile as the wiki says)
and use the dogtags they collect in order to rejuvinate some of their wounds
just my guess tho, dont take it too seriously
I know im a bit late, but i think i may have a better theory for Lazarus.
As we know, Lazarus provides pain killers and its own ability, which prevents you from dying. Pain killers dont really have anything to do with it, but Lazarus ability does, for example, there are 6 stims, one of them as the Iron 4 Skin, aka I4S-DS, it heals you but it also prevents you from dying. If we take a closer look at the description for this stim, it says Riot Gaurds Labs Injecters, which means the gaurds in the labs use the i4s-ds. My main point is that lazarus was once part of the Lab, until he/she turned on it and started working for the agency.
There is no labs.
Lazarus is equipment provided likely by an experimental medical company that works on nanites.
Perithesene also uses nanites.
Nanites are tiny little robots that can fit into your bloodstream.
If you're referring to the keycard access facility
That's an old abandoned Agency Facility which SIN Cultists moved into.
theory artillerest hates risk runner seeing how they do opposing stuff just a theory Also Jericho girlfriend died common L
One gets the most ammo while the other eat the ammo
I think not.
The reikgon shadows are like condemned and tormented souls. That explains the hanger and the reason why the shadow hunters look like your teammates. As they have probably suffered "some" pain
Reikgon 's Shadows
They are belonging to an unknown living person
Shadow Hunters are kinda weird in a lore standpoint
And DW wasnt initially made for lore, so it's very volatile.
my theory of arbiter is: they might of been a hunter, with a single shot rifle then like lost it and had to create one or sum like that (okay im dead now bye)
Theory on the apostle perk, the apostle might be a infection or like a worm like thing that has tendrils that take over a victim and turn them into demons and such, kinda works with why sticklers are crying a lot is because the worms take over the body but don’t kill the mind of the victim.
Rough theory but ideally the effects and whatnot that exit Shadows on death could kind of be what causes a transition...
Ideally SIN would put the body through a full corruption to transform people into capable shells for reikgon to be able to summon shadows through them; resulting in the ones we see here and there on Eden.
crosslink was likely an agent that wanted to go above and beyond to prove themselves, hence the fact that you have to kill 30 (or was it 15?) enemies without getting hit directly. it proved that they were agile and clever enough to avoid hits, ig.
Man I just found this video now I’m hooked to the decaying winter lore
3:08 makes sence considering how Arbiter mains act like in pubs
I like arbiter i can fly into space with it
@@bigounce7976yes
For my blitzers origin,i am a maniac happily turning people into chill soup with izbucni and remote explosives,showing little satisfaction or interest in anything else but rolling and exploding of heads and torsos and finds a special joy in killing almost all of scav war with about 60-70 remote explosives scattered throughout the front of the base and bashing the heads in of whatever is still moving
As well as murdering yosef with 30 remote explosives alone. :)
As i said,a maniac
My favorite perk... the lore it just a drugs adict
Not the epic/depressing backstory you were looking for was it xD
In my theory arbiter is a group of agency that creates augmentin bottle for the agency to survive in eden
what if damned doesnt suffer from death morale because all the other perks resembling the imprisoners of damned are hated by him and he doesnt care if any one them die?
BRAIN DOMAIN E X P A N S I O N
One very important detail. Reikon, not Reikgon, is the Japanese term for spirit. Reikgon are possibly malevolent spirits cursed with negative emotions, and they perpetually use these as their motive to kill.
To be honest, just a speculation, Arbiter was an ashamed ability at the agency since it belonged to Agent Zero (Sledge Queen), and was an outdated agency ability.
SQ isn't an agent so she probabily steal it from other agent and modify it
@@namesarenotimp0rtant then why is she only wanted by the agency and the music but not by that
@@namesarenotimp0rtant she was never an agent, red said so herself
me when blitzer: its blitzing time useses team 2 help 2 crowd cluthces only when 4 morale and alone with tear gas
Zealots might be some guy that stole technology from UMG since UMG has technology about forcefield shield
arbiter is ultrakill fr
Sledgequeen isn't actually an arbiter, more of she just killed 2 arbiters and modified herself with the shotguns in order for her to be a high-value target.
On the drifter one, you missed one key aspect it really wants to make you understand: it's trying go find the truth of something, about something, or someone.
The truth is that they dont look badass when killing
Sovereign was inspired by the sacrificial knife item from risk of rain 2
Agency was totally inspired by the Foundation whahooooooooooooooo
this really decays my winter
GOOD, NOW EXPLAIN LORE OF UKRAINE
They appeared due to the mating of a pig and a man.
Honestly my theory is hoe they GOT the perk what from the lockers in the safe zone in the back now there are many more lockers opened that's most likely cause the other agents opened them
Most likely rations as they have 50% (max for survivalist, and 0 for damned)
Hunger and water they got their perks from the agency
The agency exists
1st off: the thing about the damned is partially correct, if you read the perk guide or something else, it will say the damned was sent to EDEN-227 because they werent able to pay off debts to the agency. So they cuffed him and sent him to EDEN for his demise
2:i think zealot's theory is correct actually, especially evident by the perk guide (especially the introduction) sounding like a commander of sorts. I mean jeez the perk guide calls you "privates" soo
3: i dont really have much for mindflayer, but at the end it says "goodluck on your evacuation" maybe the main motive of mindflayer is to get the hell off EDEN-227
4: for vagabond, im pretty sure this theory is correct. As the description for the guide is "self-reliance" and it does talk about how the name of vagabond has been "tarnished"
5: arbiter does seem to be a high ranker as i dont think the agency would give a low ranker a "strong and hard-hitting" device. Oh and the sledge queen might have been a arbiter as evident from the ability to fly up and hit the ground dealing damage to people nearby. Also if you pick up her lunchbox it will say AGENT-zero
notice the use of the word agent.
6: executioner is not a hitman, he is a bounty hunter. there is a difference.
7:no: beserker is NOT JUST a drugged up tough guy. While he is a drugged up tough guy, he is also a master of close quarters combat and is particially inable to fire a glock-17 from being so used to CQC
8: you are DIFIENTLY correct about sovereign. I mean even the perk guide talks about "enlightenment" and even calls you "blessed one"
9: for crosslink, they are not steel snares, they are kunais
10: NOW THIS..... THEY ARE NOT ZOMBIES
lemme answer your questions.
1: it is unknown why they appear as your dead teamate
2: hangers make you want to kill yourself because they are really grotesque and messed up, making you want to KYS
3: its because the R.I.S were experimenting with some shadow stuff and when the girl killed herself, the shadow DNA took over creating the hanger
sorry for wasting your time if you read this lol
This is not a waste of time it's kinda fast
To read all of this
apostle belike:I AM SHADOW AND INCREDIBLY STRONG. also apostle*equips hand* AHHHHHHHHHH *oof*
Hivemind is just a bunch of bees controlling a corpse
What about the scav perks i mean they dont have ability nor any downside however most of them doesnt seem to aim downsight so in the actual perk the scavs should be damned or if not just like a little better version of damned however yosef do get morale but only one but it's already there when he got to you so maybe when he betrayed the agency and killed most likely his team he got a morale idk
Just a speculation
Looking back i can safely say that the rekigon is a necromancy parasite that burries into the dead and revives them.
the reigkon could be somewhat like the zombies in doom
A mistake I noticed.
Someone might have said this, but SQ was not an agent. She was never an agent. She got her container after killing an agent, and her knuckleboom was from Oliver, an arbiter agent who attacked her. She killed Oliver, and got his knuckleboom surgically welded onto her wrist.
My theory about Tickspider (this is a bit farfetched): Once you reach the achievement of mastery for tick spider, you earn the title "PARAGON Advocate" Paragon is introduced only one more time in another Archexmus-made game, Anomalous Activities (The Desert Eagle-like handgun in AA was made by Paragon in the desc.) Maybe Tickspider was working for paragon before going to Eden-227? @Swagger for the original theory.
Theyre maybe connected, my working theory is roughly something like them being a parrallel universe where certain companies like PARAGON work towards other goals due to the way the world works.
Decaying Winters being more post apocalypse, so whatever works in regards for home defense...
Anomalous Activities being more paranormal, so whatever could detect ghosts.
As ghostbusters said: "I aint afraid of no ghost."
Red said that AA and DW are in different universes
@@Someschmucck Yeah? Well sometimes Devs lie about the lore in games. Like. If they're not in the same universe. Then wtf is that one variation of the m10 enforcer that's has scifi red stripes and a black colour?
@@Someschmucck I'm pretty sure they're set in the same universe, just not on the same planet.
@@Someschmucck They are, I only said parallel since theyre similar, but they took a different course.
In my opinion, half of the perks seem like working alone
For survivalist i think They are the only survivor people in EDEN who were recruited
Valorii is a drifter Agent in Demise Eden 227 she wasn’t equipped with cloaking tech but she made for her stealth techniques that she was trained for her primary is a A.J.M a Karambit both she wields also comes a Kriss Vector Silenced her current is a status Is a hanger in Og timeline canon while the alt non canon is where the Mega group decided to drop a virus making all criminal inhabitants to kill each other the 4 survivors put aside their difference and escape Valorii code name Agent is Rouge given her stealth moniker it’s a zombie horde survival
My personal head-cannon here, since there’s a little blurb describing how the agents believe the best way to survive is. Maybe equipment is given to an agent based on there personality. Aside from ones that say things that straight up say the agent did something in the past.
Lore of the defector doemon or daemon idk how to spell his name smh: he used to be one of the raider or elite scav but most of the raiders are savage so he get out of the raider team.
Nope, he was from New Earth
the actual damned lore: damned is a prisoner and he dropped the soap that's why he is so damned
crosslink might just be a trap expert in my opinion and the agency recruited him because well TRAPS. And survivalist yeah i had a theory for em too but i think its a bad one to be honest
My theory about the emulator is that there hired arsonist tasked of burning scav outposts because the outpost that we see in game is very much empty
And also
My theory about the drifter is that there hired psycho's task of killing alot of scavs because they could insta-kill scavs in game
Survivalist’s are essentially just normal people that were recruited into the agency.
i feel like apostle is like a mutant that isnt fully grown if you catch my drift, because all the other ones are big, black and strong. but apostle just looks like when a mutant gets killed, so maybe their not fully grown and still developing or whatever?? idk much about the mutants tho so i could be really far off
None of the rogue agents have access to their technology because the agency can deactivate their agent tech
Sledge queen is also not an ex-agent. Zero was not an agent. Zero is a civilian container. SQ’s arbiter shotgun is self created. She was a former firefighter.
if i had to take a guess about crosslink, i would guess that he was a guard of some sorts due to his skills with traps
"Why would a cult make zombies?!?" So silly
I've been trying to discover the lore by myself for a pretty long while and I'd love to see someone's else perspective on how Yosef reflected from the agency, hope i could see that here
Yosef was part of an "Evacuation" wave.
He assisted one of the Guards in Valley and was shot by 2 Agents.
( Dereliction of Duty?)
He hung said Agents, maybe being too violent, but this is more likely murder.
He then worked with the remainder of the agents of his wave with other activities in more regards of survival; knowing fully well they wont be able to escape, let alone be evacuated by the Agency: since theyd rather have him court martialed.
The lore however is VERY dependant on what the player sees. It can vary within each player.
I only say this with the knowledge and experience I've gained from reviewing the ECHOs and hearing out other peoples thoughts on the Discord Community Servers.
Is there like a website or something to see complete lore of the DW universe?
Fun Fact: I am actually friends with the creator of decaying winter lore
"the artillerist is the average american" thats why i play artillerist, because i'm american
apostle speculation : when they left the cult they got cursed so if they want to use their powers the curse damages they
your profile pic has a striking resemblance to n from murder drones
damned can use the AGENT device.
Imagine the prisoner of war you sent to die on a dead planet casually come back solo
not sure if alot of people know but there is also lore in the achievements for the different perk mastery titles
My theory on apostle is well the lore states that there’s shadow dna so maybe apostle is half shadow half human
ive been told theres 17, 18, 20 perks and now 21?
“Between earth and Mother Nature im the bugs guardian”
0:29 they just said why would a cult do cult things
I swear immolator is just pyro.
