Centrifuge

The Centrifuge is featured in the starting room in Ascension. It is both beneficial and hazardous to the player as it can down the player if he stands within its range while it's spinning, but can be dodged if the player crouches or goes prone. When overrun with zombies the player can use the centrifuge to thin the horde by sprinting in a circle and then diving to prone when the centrifuge starts spinning. This strategy won't help for long, as there is a cooldown between each spin and zombies will continuously enter the room.

Trivia

 * When the centrifuge is about to start spinning, an alarm will start.
 * When hit by the centrifuge, the player will automatically crouch.
