The Contractor Is the WORST Character… Until You Learn THIS | Nemesis: Retaliation The Contractor might look like one of the weakest characters in Nemesis: Retaliation. A low rank, an unimpressive handgun, and very little chance of winning a straight fight against an Intruder. So why would you want them on your team? Because you're looking at the wrong strengths. In this Character Shakedown, we break down the Contractor and explore what makes this specialist so useful when you understand how to play them. From demolition, searching and repairs to Computer Skills and clever room interactions, the Contractor isn't built to dominate combat. They're built to get the job done. We'll look at how to make the most of their specialist abilities, why cards like Always Prepared and Duck and Cover can create opportunities to get in, complete an objective, and get out before things turn ugly, and how to equip their tactical belt for the challenges ahead. But there's another side to the Contractor. Their ability to operate independently and complete crucial objectives can make them an invaluable teammate… or a serious liability if they're secretly working against the crew. We'll explore how to recognise that risk, keep their actions under control, and make sure your specialist doesn't disappear at precisely the wrong moment. Whether you're playing the Contractor yourself, trying to get the best out of them as part of a team, or wondering how to handle one at the table, this character analysis will help you understand their role in Nemesis: Retaliation. 🎲 IN THIS CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: - Why the Contractor can seem underpowered at first - Their strengths in specialist tasks, including demolition, searching and repairs - How Computer Skills and Always Prepared can help you get more from rooms - Using Duck and Cover to escape danger after completing an objective - Recommended tactical belt loadout: 1 oxygen tank, 2 grenades and 1 ammo - Why the Contractor can be especially dangerous as a traitor - How to keep a specialist working with the team - Why the Contractor can be a great choice for players who prefer objectives over combat - When to consider using the Contractor as an NPC specialist The Contractor doesn't need to be the strongest character on the ship.

And sometimes, the person who looks least capable of surviving is the one you can't afford to lose. 💬 What's your favourite character in Nemesis: Retaliation — and why? Let me know in the comments!
