Hacker

Summary

Win Condition

Team
This role is the only role in Team Anarchy. Hunter was a role in this team but was removed then added to the Murder team.

Abilities
The hacker spawns in with a laptop. When this is held, a progress bar on the screen starts going up. If this progress bar gets to 100%, the hackers win. In addition, a green circle appears around the hacker's feet. If multiple hackers get within that green circle, hacking speed becomes faster for each extra hacker in the circle. There is one progress bar sustained for every hacker in the game, so if someone takes out their laptop for the first time in the middle of the game, they will have the progress of another hacker that has been hacking the whole game. However, if there is ever a moment where no hackers have their laptop out, then the bar will reset. In addition to the hacking power, the hacker also has another ability, the ability to teleport.

Guide
I will set out some basic tips to follow as a hacker which will increase your chance of winning. Follow these, and it will be a lot harder for you to lose games.


 * Like all other roles, you have to worry about not getting shot by the murderer. Avoid players you don't know and try to avoid being completely out in the open (this helps when avoiding being shot by sheriffs too)
 * As I shall continue to stress, as a non-Team Law member the sheriff is your enemy. If you reach your goal, the sheriff will lose, so as a hacker you have to worry about the sheriff shooting you as well as the murderer. Make sure there is always something between you and the sheriff's gun, or at least jump about and make it harder for the sheriff to shoot you by trying to dodge their bullets.
 * Don't waste your teleports. Although you have infinite teleports, and it may be tempting to teleport spam, this can be an ineffective tactic as the teleports are completely random, and there is a cooldown. You could be teleported right into the murderer's knife, or into the shot of the sheriff. Only use teleports when you are in immediate danger of dying.
 * If possible, stay near other hackers. If you are close enough to other hackers, hacking speed will be increased. Just make sure you don't both get jumped by a murderer as if all hackers die then the progress bar will reset and won't go up again until someone picks a laptop up and becomes a hacker. You can still win if you die as long as another hacker hacks the mainframe.

Possible threats to hackers:


 * Murderers. Obvious one, murderers can stab you or throw a knife at you. Avoid murderers.
 * Sheriffs. Sheriffs aren't your friend and can shoot you. Avoid sheriffs.
 * Hunters. Hunters will try to assist murderers so could crossbow you, leaving you vulnerable, so be cautious around them.
 * Party Planners. If they get party hats on everyone then you lose, and the party planners win. Try to avoid letting party planners putting a hat on you by teleporting.
