Zorskel

Lets get him before he gets us!

Nathan Drake, talking about Zorskel during the Nepal Warzone Co-op Objective mission.

Zorskel is the "Skull Mask soldier". His model is used for the armoured soldiers archetype, late in the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves singleplayer campaign (Known as Zorskels). He is also available as a skin in Uncharted 2 multiplayer.

Overview Edit

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Edit

Description Edit

Zorskel is the elite version of Dragan. He carries the SAS-12 in single-player and in multiplayer he carries the SAS-12 or the FAL. Zorskel is similar in appearance to Dragan: he wears the same attire including armor, a ski mask, and goggles; however, he has a skull painted on his mask and wears red goggles, and is somewhat thinner than Dragan.

Combat Strategy Edit

• Because Zorskel is fully armored and very good at hand-to-hand combat, melee combat is nearly impossible unless he is greatly weakened. Zorskel can melee kill you in seconds when engaged, but generally flanks a player while others shoot. When Zorksel is carrying a SAS-12, he will injure you quickly, even at a distance.

• The best way to defeat Zorskel is to keep a distance and focus on firing head shots. This will blow off his helmet to reveal his unprotected head and a few more gunfire bursts should kill him. Another tactic is to pick up a shotgun (either a Moss-12, SAS-12, or Pistole) and aim at his chest armor: when it is removed, you can defeat him with melee attacks. You can also defeat him by using a pull down from a ledge.

These tactics are also compatible with Dragan.

Multiplayer Edit

Zorskel is playable in multiplayer mode of Uncharted 2. You can unlocked him for purchase once you reach level 10.

Trivia Edit

• Zorskel is available as a single-player skin once you have completed the game.
• Zorskel's name is an anagram for "Skelzor".
• He is similar in appearance to the character Simon "Ghost" Riley in the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
• If you play as Zorskel in singleplayer or multiplayer, his helmet nor chest armor goes off no matter how many times he shot in either area.
• Zorskel was the only soldier from Uncharted 2 who was omitted as a skin in the Classic Skin DLC pack for Uncharted 3.
• The Zorskel that fights you on the moving platform in Shambhala is shown Impaled on a branch after it crashes, even if the player manages to kill him before the crash.
• Despite being a simple palette swap of Dragan, Zorskel is actually a bit heavier than him. This is evidenced by the fact that two-handed weapons always dig into his back when he doesn't have them equipped.
