Skin Trivia

  • Weirdly, the Assassin icon uses the Slasher's face instead of its own face.
  • The Pumpkin skin was modelled by ElectroMeltdown while its concept art was made by Nyazh with the help of Tylerrington.[1]
  • The papers on the back of the Pumpkin skin are a reference to Slenderman, with the one talking about a mad king also referencing Lord Sinister.[2]
    • The skin was originally going to have more creepypasta references if that would be allowed.[2]
  • The Butcher skin is based on Yi Xi from the BUTCHER VANITY music video.
