"Subject Alpha is a merciless assassin with shapeshifting abilities that granted her celestial reputation as an unmatched killer. While most assassins choose anonymity, she often shows her disregard of all rules by posting selfies taken over the dead bodies of her enemies."
- in-game description


Subject Alpha is a VVIP character set featured in CrossFire.

Overview

Same with The Fates / Switcher, this character set is composed of three female characters (one for Global Risk, one for Black List and the other one is specifically meant for Mutation and Zombie Modes). Again, she has a unique and exclusive voice set separated from the others.

Based on the GR and Special side, Subject Alpha seems to be cold-blooded assassins with secret missions. On the GR side, she has blonde hair, wears a dark-blue outfits with fully-covered blue heels, a mask covering her face and a golden headband on her forehead. On the Special side, she has a similar appearance with the GR side, but with brown hair color, wears a white shirt, a dark-brown shorts, a belt that holding her unusable sword, a pair of black heels and the same golden headband on her forehead along with the mask like the GR. On the BL side, differently from the both mentioned side, she seems to be a rebellious teenager; she wears a short orange outfit that reveals her belly, a short skirt and a pair of high brown boots, along with a black eye patch.

She has the usual Furious Kick and Throwing Knives abilities, but she also boasts two new features:

  • Subject Alpha can express different emotions by pressing N. The player can select any of the seven emotions listed by pressing its correspondent number key. She can clap, taunt with her hand, take a picture, take a selfie, express admiration, cross her arms and salute. (Special voice clips and sound effects play while expressing emotions)
  • In Mutation Mode, when Subject Alpha gets infected, she can shapeshift into any other mutant character (except default mutants, Maiden 2.0, Fake Nano and special mutants) by pressing F. She can change characters after a cooldown of 20 seconds or upon respawning. This ability can't be used when the player is playing as special mutants like Xeno, Havoc, etc.

Trivia

  • The Special character's emotion sound depends on which side you join the game (for example: You join the game on the Black List side, you will have the BL emotion sound, vice versa for Global Risk), while her killsounds and radio messages are same with the GR side (English and Russian voices only).
  • As a mutant, you cannot use the Shapeshifter skill on any slides.
  • When use the shapeshifter in Mutation Mode & variants, the shapeshifted mutant will have the same HP as the previous mutant. This can be fixed by either evolved or respawned.
  • In Mutation Knight Mode, there was a glitch that the F button (Shapeshifter) is invisible when playing as a Mutant, but it still works normally when the player press it.
  • Her BL promotional artworks show similarities to the character Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad movie.
    • The BL character was supposed to have pink-purple color on her outfit, as can be seen in original artwork and screenshots. It was changed later, now her outfit has orange color instead.
    • Also, her gloves on the BL side is a recolored version of Switcher-Special's gloves.
  • In CF Vietnam, this character is named Athena, the goddess of wisdom, craft and war in Greek mythology.
    • Also in CF Vietnam, similar to Venus (The Fates) and Sonoko (Switcher), Athena also have two variants: Normal and Special. The Special character can only be obtained through events and it shares Special character model for both GR and BL. She still retains her VVIP perks but have no EXP or GP bonus.
  • Again, this character got Russian voices in CF Russia and Portuguese voices in CF Brazil like any other VVIP characters in these regions.
  • If you equipped any glasses for Subject Alpha (GR and Special), their masks will be removed and revealing their "face", similar to SAS.
  • The GR and Special character of Subject Alpha look identical to each other, especially their masks, hair style (with different color), skin tone and a golden headband on their forehead. Thus, it's possible that both are the same person or twin.
    • They also shares the same killsounds and radio voices, which is not seen in any other VVIP characters. However, this is only happens with English and Russian voices, as her Portuguese voices has different killsounds and radio voices for Special character.
  • Uniquely, similar to the announcement for winning a Black Market prize, expressing any emotion will also automatically announce a unique message (based on the emotion that the player choose), for example, if player choose clapping emotion, it will announce a message "[Player Name] is clapping" (terms vary in different versions) to other players in the same room.
  • In some CF versions, the emotion sound effects doesn't play for unknown reasons, only Subject Alpha's special voice clips will be played (sometimes it also won't play at all). This was quietly fixed later.
  • In CF Philippines, this is the first VVIP character that can be obtained through Return User Reward after the February 2022 update.
