Fugue is an ability in Deathloop that is available when the Fugue Slab is equipped. The Fugue Slab is dropped by Gabe the Garbage Collector or may be randomly dropped by Julianna Blake.
The Fugue Slab was added as part of the GOLDENLOOP update in September 2022.
Gameplay
Fugue is a projectile that blinds and deafens its targets.
Upgrades
Fugue has four possible upgrades:
File:Fugue Upgrade Coda.png Coda: Fugue lasts longer on your target.
File:Fugue Upgrade Earworm.png Earworm: Lay a trap that hits anyone near it with Fugue. Even you.
File:Fugue Upgrade Discord.png Discord: Enemies affected with Fugue become hostile to all Eternalists.
File:Fugue Upgrade Syncopation.png Syncopation: When someone affected with Fugue dies, the effect becomes contagious.
Difference against Player Character
When affected by Fugue (whether by an enemy player or NPC with this slab), the player character is not rendered blind and deaf.
Instead the edge of the screen is affected by a rainbow-effect, and a whirring sound is heard. Additionally your movement speed will be slowed.
Tactical information
- Fugue works like a middle-ground between Nexus and Karnesis.
- Like Nexus, it doesn't directly harm enemies, and with the right upgrades can spread through them.
- Similar to Karnesis, it is more focused on affecting movement and disabling targets.
- Additionally, it doesn't constantly drain power, acting more like a "fire and forget" ability.
- One exception, however, is that the Earworm trap will cost you power when it's triggered by a target, even if you accidentally trigger your own trap.
