Agnu is a Unique Recruit. They can be found imprisoned by the Thrall Masters in the top floor of the Tower of Abuse. Agnu will join the player after being freed. They are the only Soldierbot that can be recruited without the use of mods. Soldierbots heal 50% faster than normal Skeletons and can see from MUCH further away.

Agnu has several lines of unique dialogue, most of which are screams because, similar to Ray, Agnu is unable to speak, although unlike Ray is still capable of making unintelligible noises. Agnu often shares these dialogues with Beep.

Skills will be multiplied by the racial multiplier. Players should also be aware that non-player characters also level up while fighting.

Agnu has a set clothing color (blue robot rags). This will allow them to dye colourable clothing such as the Armoured Rags (colored) and Armoured Rag Skirt (colored) which are conveniently worn by their captors.

Agnu is perhaps related to the Second Empire police forces found at Police Barracks, because they share the same clothing color and race.

A bug existed in some game versions prior to the 1.0 release that prevented unique prisoners like Agnu and Cat to spawn if the game was imported in the past. Importing again without "Dead NPCs" fixed the problem.

Trivia

  • Agnu was named after Chris Hunt's (creator of Kenshi) motorcycle, which was in turn named after the Headless body of Agnew from Futurama - due to its "similar personality of loud growling and being impossible to control".
  • If you try to go through Venge while having other characters in your squad, Agnu may stop and scream. He won't move even if you set him to move manually. If Beep is nearby, he may calm Agnu down and return him to normal.

Tips

  • You can rush to the Tower of Abuse on day one with a pair of tools/hacksaws (Or two if you care about your starting character) to free Agnu. To escape simply make use of the r trick. (Hold movement key and periodically click r to halt enemy advances. If this fails to work save and load your game to cause enemies to behave normally as recruiting a character can cause some weird AI behavior.)
