* Coach

 **Cap** is a TMF captain specializing in command, leadership, and morale. He is armed with a handgun and a combat knife and dressed in a black full-body, bulletproof armor suit, a black gas mask with red lenses, and a red beret with a yellow trim.

 **Coach** is Cap's first exclusive skin. He is armed with a handgun and a combat knife, and dressed in a gray T-shirt with a red emblem, red pants, a brown duty belt, a clear full-face gas mask, and a red baseball cap with a yellow letter H logo.

Coach has different shooting and moving animations.

## Functionality

### Basics

Cap is a support unit, meaning that he aids his teammates with special abilities and/or by dealing extra damage.

Cap fires his pistol at a fast rate up to 10 times before performing a very fast reload. If he gets into close quarters combat without any ammo left, he pulls out a knife and jabs it forward for a slow and weak melee attack that can crit.

Cap has both low health and ranged damage, but moves at an average pace. He has a high preparation time and courage cost.

### Perks and Abilities

Upon detection of an uninspired unit, Cap will apply the inspiration buff to them, granting them a slight increase to their movement speed and improves their attack reaction time, but Cap himself will not be able to attack while using this. Cap is not able to affect himself and only inspires other units, but can be affected if another was/is to be sent. Cap will not use his ability if there are no possible targets around or if all other units are inspired.

Cap is immune to poison, and has 90% resistance to bullet damage, making him useful against ranged marauders like Robber/Biker or zombies that can inflict poison like Epidemiologist and Slob.

His fear resistance is particularly strong, making it difficult for almost any amount of enemies to inflict the fear debuff.

As a TMF unit, Cap will not turn into a zombie when killed.

Upon reaching level 13, Cap's special ability can be unlocked, granting all TMF units a 25% reload speed reduction bonus while on the battlefield. However, this is of very little use for several reasons and not worth the cost. It only affects Flamethrower, Swat and Cap himself, but is noticeable solely on Flamethrower due to Swat and Cap's already fast reload speeds. As bringing too any TMF units may be disadvantageous and with how situational Flamethrower is, this ability ends up with a prohibitively high cost for a marginal gain.

## Gameplay

### Main Campaign

Cap is a great support thanks to his Inspiration perk, which he uses limitlessly. Because of how beneficial the buff is, he can potentially fix, or at least alleviate some units' detrimental issues, the most noticeable ones being Private Rodriguez's poor reaction time, and Flamethrower's abysmal movement speed. Cap also has a decent defense, thanks to his relatively fast fire rate, quick reload, and resistances.

However, as Cap is a support unit, he does not work on his own. As such, Cap will find himself fairly vulnerable to dangerous and fast enemies if he is alone, especially if he was sent out first without any more courage left to use on other units. This issue only becomes more prominent in the late game progress due to the presence of Insectoid. As such, having a good setup of other units is essential to maximizing Cap's value, as he will be able to boost them consistently and enjoy their protection.

### Skirmish

In League, on paper, Cap is a very good choice thanks to his bullet resistance and inspiration perk which he uses at the very beginning of the fight. Since he must go through the whole animation of him boosting his team, it's recommended that he's placed somewhere safe, preferably in the tiles furthest from enemy units, for him to apply the buff without being cut off short. Although he gives all his teammates a great advantage in combat and has decent DPS himself, he remains vulnerable against bullet-resistant enemy melee units. His very high courage cost can seriously hinder team compositions. It should be mentioned that most widely used units in this mode can perform just as well without the buff, while most mediocre units fail to get the most out of it, making his perk just an additional bonus at best in some cases.

At level 13, Pepper can unlock her special ability which is very similar to Cap's perk, as it also allows her to inspire everyone on the field. However, she can only use it once as opposed to Cap who can use it an unlimited amount of times as needed. Despite this, Pepper can be used in the same situations where Cap would be in, be it the main game or other game modes, mainly Skirmish.
