Brain Rot Brain Rot is a zombie skill available for purchasing immediately within the Zombie skills tree. Like all zombie skills it costs 100 XP Brain Rot is a zombie skill which makes it impossible for a zombie to be revived, except under very specific conditions. Zombies with Brain Rot can only be revivified in a powered NT building -- and only if the technician possesses the NecroNet Access skill. Brain Rot also makes the zombie harder to DNA-scan. Brain Rot is irreversible; therefore, when a player selects Brain Rot in the "Buy Skills" menu, they are first given a confirmation message. Like all zombie skills, Brain Rot costs 100 XP to learn. It must also be purchased before the skill Flesh Rot becomes available. In general, Brain Rot is only used by zombies who have no intention, or desire, to become human again. However, some players who may be "pro-survivor" opt to purchase Brain Rot. Doing so is often referred to as "Playing the game on Hard Mode" -- due to the difficulty of getting a revive should the character be killed. However, for these types -- and other Brain Rotted zombies seeking a revive for whatever reason -- a number of groups and players have decicated themselves to providing "Rot Revives". A list of current and former Rot Revive Clinics can be found at the end of this article. Zombies with Brain Rot are often referred to as "Rotters". In-game messages The following flavour text is displayed upon attempting to revive and/or DNA scan a zombie with Brain Rot: After a succesful DNA scan - "Cortex damaged. Do not attempt to revive. After an unsuccessful DNA scan - Cortex Damged. Do not attempt to revive. Scan failed. Please try again. After an unsuccesful revivification - ?? After a successful revivification - ?? Etiology of Brain Rot There is much debate in the scientific community as to the exact nature and cause of Brain Rot. Unfortunately, attempts to study the phenomenon in detail have been, for the most part, tragically unsuccessful. Nonetheless, some of the major theories which have been proposed to explain Brain Rot are summarised below. The most common explanation of Brain Rot is that it is simply an advanced form of post-necrotic decay in the subject's brain tissue, parallelling similar forms of decay and degradation observed affecting other parts of many re-animated corpses. However, the process of normal revivification reverses and regenerates (for the most part) suchn normal tissue degredation. This is not the case when reviving zombies possessing Brain Rot, the treatment of which requires access to specialised NecroTech facilities -- and even then the condition, while rendered dormant upon revivification, is not reversed. Treatment Survivors with this state of infection have found standard NecroTech procedure unsatisfactory when seeking revivification. Some daring NecroTech Employees have shown initiative and established special groups dedicated to this purpose in addition to standard infection prevention procedure. Some of the more noteworthy of these groups include; Active Brain Rot Revive Clinics Got Mrh?, a Brain Rot Revive Clinic functioning out of the suburb of Raines Hills, the clinic is set up at The Jack Building [66,16], one of the local NecroTech Offices. Rotter's Relief, is a large Brain Rot Revive Organization with multiple Clinics located in Houldenbank's Greatorex Building [99,65], Owsleybank's Woodborne Building [0, 44], and Stanbury Village's Moseley Building [51, 57] as well as other new clinics that they constantly open all over Malton (see their wiki page for the most up to date list of clinics). BRRC(Brain Rot Revive Clinic), is a Brain Rot Revive Clinic that serves the suburb of South Blythville from the Pippard Building [29,72] and is back in business.
