Medic Willits is a character featured in Quake IV. He is a member of Raven Squad in the Space Marine Corps and participates in the Second Invasion of Stroggos.
Biography[]
Second Invasion of Stroggos[]
Willits is encountered in the Data Networking Tower alongside Sergeant Fuchs and Tech Raffel. While Corporal Kane is riding the elevator up to their floor, they are heard talking about their squadmate while he's screaming in pain. A demolition charge misfired and ends up killing him, but they have no time to mourn because more Strogg arrive. Kane arrives just in time to finish the fight with them.
Soon after the fight, the lights go out in the room and a bunch of teleporters and turrets get activated. Room after room, they encounter more and more teleporters alongside heavy resistance. They make their way through the rooms until they reach the teleporter that leads to the upper floors of the tower.
Willits may be killed or left behind if he cannot make it to the elevator in the second room in time, but if neither of those options have happened, he will take up a defensive position in the control room near the teleporter.
Trivia[]
- Compared to other Marines who are not invulnerable, Willits and his team have an incredibly high amount of health. Their health value is set to 1000 when they first spawn. To give an idea of how much this is, a Marine with 1000 health can survive around ten to twenty hits from a Berserker, depending on how often the blade and the morningstar are used during the attacks. If Kane destroys the teleporters in the first room Willits and his team are encountered, their health will be set to 125 instead. This will make it unlikely for any of them to survive until the end of the mission. However, by not destroying the teleporters in the first room and thus not triggering the script to reduce their health, they are almost guaranteed to survive until the end. It is therefore recommended to bite the bullet and eliminate the Strogg in the first room rather than destroying the teleporters.
