Parasite

Parasite
Class	Cool Perk
Attribute	Cool
Tier	Pro (9)
Levels	1
Requires	Scorpion Sting
Affects	Only affects throwable weapons

Parasite heals V for accurate throws. A critical hit or a headshot with a thrown weapon returns health, which means the branch's damage and the branch's survival come from the same action. It sits in the throwable weapon branch of the Cool tree. There is no condition beyond hitting what V aimed at.

Effect

---

The return is modest on a single throw and adds up over a fight, because a throwing build is landing precise hits constantly.

It also removes the need to break off. A build that would otherwise have to find cover and use a health item can keep throwing instead, which is the fastest way out of trouble in any case.

How to Unlock Parasite

---

It sits behind the Pro gate of the Cool tree and is bought from Scorpion Sting.

Name	Image	Tier	Effect
Scorpion Sting		Pro (9)	-15% recovery time for throwable weapons.

Character Builds

---

It suits any throwing build, since the condition is simply hitting what V aimed at and the branch is built on precision.

Buy it at the Pro gate from Scorpion Sting, early rather than late. Creeping Death in the stealth branch heals for an unseen kill, so a build spending in both branches has two sources of health and rarely needs an item at all.

Notes

---

The same precise hits are what apply poison, so one throw can poison, damage and heal at once.

Creeping Death higher in the tree returns health for an unseen kill instead.
