Karlee Fincher — a self-sustaining apocalypse survivor who has a very blurred and mysterious background. Just the way she likes it. With her strong personality and honed looting skills, it is safe to say Karlee can stand strong no matter what situation she may face. Even though she may not be a cleaner by name, Karlee compensates with her priceless skills and charm. Karlee may not seem like it, but make no mistake; this woman is a zombie slayer and one to consider when choosing your character in Back 4 Blood.
Even with the zombie epidemic, Karlee is still a true fashionista, from her undercut hair dyed purple to her purple cropped hoodie and leather jacket. Her body is adorned with tattoos on her neck, fingers, and belly. To top off the look, her fingernails are painted in a deep purple shade to match her hairstyle, which shows Karlee’s true personality, Bold, Loud, and Cocky.
Why Choose Karlee?
There are several reasons for you to choose Karlee, but here are some of the primary ones:
- Danger Sense: With this perk, players can easily visually detect nearby hazards for Karlee and her teammates, giving her an advantage in navigation and tactics, making her a valuable player and team member.
- Bag Of Tricks: Karlee will benefit greatly from the bag of tricks perk because it allows her to add quick inventory slots, making it much easier to store and access items. This is ideal for those who frequently provide support fire and must transport extra supplies and baggage. Karlee can respond to situations that require the use of the utility more efficiently, thanks to the extra quick inventory slot.
- Nimble Fingered: This perk provides Karlee with a tool that allows her to easily open locks and other secured areas and places, such as stashes, alarms, fire aid cabinets, and more. The ideal tool for a former thief.
- TEC-9: A well-known zombie killer that everyone should try at least once. This fully automatic sidearm complements any primary weapon, regardless of category. With a 20-round clip and one of the highest mobility ratings, this sidearm is ideal for those who stack on their feet while still needing to inflict as much damage as possible.
- AK-47: This automatic rifle packs a devastating punch for anything that dares to stand in its path. Even though its fire rate is slightly lower than your average auto-rifle, make no mistake that the AK-47 is foolproof and one of the safest bets — even more so when equipt with an optimal deck build.
The Best Builds for Karlee
