CharBro

**CharBro** is a recruitable Rare Character in Death Road to Canada added in the March 2021 LIVER update. He appears as a buff man wearing a yellow sweater with a black stripe.

CharBro can randomly be found as a rare recruit in any trader camp, costing 15 food to recruit. Adding CharBro to the party starts a countdown that allows you to recruit the other Stamp users: H. Heck, Ziggy and E\*FUDD. The countdown begins at 0 and increments by 1 for every Stamp user in the party (except E\*FUDD, who is the last user to be found) after every event, meaning you are required to have at least one user in the party to find the others, whereas having multiple ones will cause you to encounter them faster. Each user can only be encountered once per run, as the countdown is not reset at any point.

CharBro's Strength and Fitness are revealed upon recruitment.

## Abilities

CharBro can summon his Stamp, S Doggy Dog to assist him during looting missions. The Stamp is automatically summoned when performing a melee attack, and it will stay active for a random amount of time between 25 and 35 seconds, after which it will disappear in a cloud of purple smoke. After summoning S Doggy Dog, CharBro must wait 50 seconds before being able to summon it again. Since the countdown starts from the moment of summoning rather than despawning, the Stamp's uptime is longer than its downtime.

When summoned, S Doggy Dog will follow CharBro and automatically attack zombies around it. It is immune to fatigue, but cannot pick up any loot or weapons, restricting it to its Boxing attack. Dying will not cause it to be despawned early, nor will it shorten the summoning cooldown.

As mentioned above, having CharBro in the party allows you to find other Stamp users on the road. Additionally, he has the Boxing unarmed attack and is limited to only 2 inventory slots.

## Trivia

* CharBro is a reference to *Charlie Brown* from Charles M. Schulz's newspaper comic strip *Peanuts*, combined with *Jotaro Kujo* from Hirohiko Araki's manga series *Jojo's Bizarre Adventure*.
* CharBro's Epilogue is based on the reoccurring gag in the *Peanuts* comic strip where Lucy would always pull away the football at the last minute, leaving poor Charlie to land flat on his back. However, in the episode *"It's Magic, Charlie Brown"*, Charlie did manage to kick the ball away from Lucy because he was invisible.
* As of the 2022 NERVE Update CharBro can be recruited from the O\*P\*P Lobby in the Familiar Lounge, which also allows the other Stamp Users to be recruited shortly after leaving the starting location.
* CharBro's specialtype ID is 113.
