Captain Limewire, officially listed as Limewire in PURSUITCORE on Roblox, is a ranged grappler Terminator purchasable from the shop for 1,200 points. Standing out as one of the tallest models in the game, he relies on a combination of long-range hitscan tagging, map-wide hook pulls, and aerial cannon jumps to control chases and execute single targets.
Captain Limewire Overview and Base Stats
Limewire functions primarily as a heavy crowd-control and capture Terminator. While he possesses the lowest baseline walking speed among Terminators, his vertical mobility and infinite-range projectiles compensate for his slow footwork.
| Stat / Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Role / Class | Terminator (Ranger / Grappler) |
| Health (HP) | 2,000 |
| Movement Speed | 16 / 34 |
| Unlock Cost | 1,200 Points |
| M1 Damage | 30 |
| Chase Theme | "Avast!" by Inceptradom Audio / "You Are a Pirate" Jumpstyle Remix |
Limewire's towering frame allows him to walk over small ledges and navigate inclines without needing to jump, though players must take care around low doorframes and tight interiors on maps such as PursuitKart.
Moveset and Ability Breakdown
Limewire's kit revolves around applying the Magnetized debuff at range, pulling survivors in with his hook, and finishing with an aerial slam.
Hook (Basic Attack / M1)
- Keybind: F / Left Click
- Cooldown: 1.6 seconds
- Damage: 30
- Mechanics: Limewire swings his hook forward with a wide, tall hitbox. It affects only a single target per swing. Because the attack has a slight forward lunge, players frequently swing the hook while traversing the map to cover ground faster.
Limelock
- Keybind: E
- Cooldown: 12 seconds
- Damage: 10
- Mechanics: Limewire draws a flintlock pistol and enters an aiming stance. A visible laser pointer tracks the reticle, telegraphing his aim to all players. Pressing the input again fires a hitscan projectile that pierces through multiple Users and Terminators in a straight line.
- Debuff: Applies the Magnetized status effect to anyone hit. While Magnetized, the target becomes easier to hit with The Limewire hook. Magnetize highlights also linger through invisibility, fully exposing Users like Mikaela even inside her Smoke Bomb. Entering the stance slows Limewire down, and he can be stunned out of it. Manually canceling puts the ability on a 3-second cooldown.
The Limewire & Limewire Buster
- Keybind: R
- Cooldown: 15 seconds
- Damage: 40 (on successful Buster) / 10 (wall collision)
- Mechanics: Limewire enters an aiming stance and throws a heavy hook toward the cursor. The projectile has infinite range. If the victim is Magnetized, the hook slightly curves and homes toward them, though manual aim is still required.
- The Mini-Game (Limewire Buster): When the hook latches on, the User is dragged directly toward Limewire. A timed click prompt appears accompanied by an audio chime ("ding"). Pressing M1 precisely as the victim enters Limewire's melee box triggers the Limewire Buster, where Limewire grabs the victim, launches high into the air, and slams them into the earth for 40 damage.
- Interactions: Limewire cannot be stunned once the Buster slam begins, but he can be interrupted while reeling the victim in. If the hooked player collides with a wall during the pull, the chain breaks; the User takes 10 damage, ragdolls for roughly 0.5 seconds, and escapes the slam. Successfully landing a Buster places all of Limewire's other abilities on a 4-second cooldown. Manually canceling the throw incurs a 3-second cooldown.
Torrential Leap
- Keybind: Q
- Cooldown: 17 seconds
- Damage: 25
- Mechanics: Limewire discharges his cannon downward, rocketing into the sky and crashing down at a chosen target location. Trajectory is controlled by the camera: angling the camera upward produces a long-distance arc, while aiming downward keeps the leap short.
- ESP & Combos: While airborne, every surviving User across the map is highlighted on Limewire's screen. Landing directly on Users inflicts 25 damage and ragdolls them for approximately 1.5 seconds, which leaves sufficient time to connect a guaranteed follow-up M1 hook for a combined 55-damage burst.
Core Combos and Strategy
Community match footage and character guides demonstrate two primary loops for maximizing Limewire's damage:
- The Classic Sniper Route: Tag an open target with Limelock to apply Magnetized. Immediately line up and cast The Limewire. The homing assists the hook in latching on across long corridors. Time the M1 prompt upon arrival to execute the Limewire Buster for 40 damage, then immediately hit an M1 hook as they stand up for 70 total damage.
- The Aerial Ambush: Activate Torrential Leap at the start of a round or across open fields. Use the airborne ESP to spot clusters of Users. Land directly onto a target for 25 damage and a ragdoll, immediately follow with an M1 for 30 damage (55 total burst), and use Limelock if the User attempts to flee.
- Double-Damage Interaction: Player testing shows that activating Limelock immediately after an up-close swing can automatically trigger an M1 hitbox alongside the gunshot, securing quick burst damage during tight chases.
How to Counter Captain Limewire
While Limewire has high burst potential and map coverage, players have several reliable counterplay options:
- Hug Hard Geometry: The chain breaks whenever a pulled victim strikes a wall or solid obstacle. By looping tightly around pillars and interior corners, Users can prevent the 40-damage Buster from completing, taking only 10 collision damage instead.
- Listen for Audio Windups: Both Limelock and The Limewire feature distinct startup sounds and visual stances. When you hear the cue or see the laser pointer, break Limewire's line of sight or begin zig-zagging.
- Exploit Knockback Stuns: Sentinel characters like Tac 9 (Dropkick) and Mikaela (overcharged sniper shot) inflict substantial knockback. Landing these stuns during the reel pushes Limewire outside the Buster activation radius, canceling the grab.
- Exploit Base Walk Speed: Outside of Torrential Leap, Limewire moves at 16/34 speed. If you bait his leap and stay out of open corridors where his hook excels, his grounded chase is slow enough to loop effectively.
Available Skins
Captain Limewire launched with specific cosmetic skins referencing classic internet media and games:
- Default: The standard pirate model featuring his hook and flintlock.
- Soldier: A direct homage to the Soldier from Team Fortress 2, replacing his hook with a stock Shovel and his flintlock with a Shotgun.
- Fabulous: References the classic He-Man "Fabulous Secret Powers" viral video.
- Upcoming / In Development: Miraheze documentation and developer teasers have previewed upcoming cosmetics, including Limeade Lacerator (a parody of the Kool-Aid Man using an axe and crossbow), Collector (referencing PWNed by 14:00), and planned Level 25, 50, 75, and 100 Milestone skins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Captain Limewire cost in PURSUITCORE?
Captain Limewire costs 1,200 points in the in-game shop.
How do you perform the Limewire Buster?
After hitting a User with The Limewire hook (Key R), watch for the target to be reeled close to Limewire's model. An on-screen prompt and an audible chime will play. Press M1 in sync with this prompt to trigger the aerial slam.
Does Limelock give you an aimbot hook?
No. Hitting a User with Limelock inflicts Magnetized, which causes the hook from The Limewire to curve slightly toward the target, but players must still aim toward the User's direction.
Can Limewire be stunned out of his abilities?
Limewire can be interrupted or stunned while aiming Limelock and while pulling a User with the hook. However, once the Limewire Buster grab animation successfully starts in the air, he cannot be stunned out of the descent.
