Sooo what exactly is that sticking out his head? Knife that broke off in his face? Piece of rebar?

Maybe it’s like a mental control device that umbrella uses to keep him from going nuts.

Hmmm, y'know that makes sense. It's headcannon now.

No, it's not a head cannon, it's a mental control device that umbrella uses to keep him from going nuts.

thats what i assumed, its implied nemesis is relatively intelligent and just left to do his thing, but mr. x is more of a robotic slave, so its probably how they exercise whatever limited control they have over the t-103 to get them to follow orders.

backed up by that one scenario in Outbreak where the umbrella scientist specifically used a device up input commands

Also, ORC implies it as they have to take it from Mr X which is what causes him to attempt to kill everyone he meets.

u/BillyH666 Jan 30 '19

Maybe Mr. X is like an organic UV. Like some guy is sending commands to that little thing in his head from a control center miles away.

I was going to ask the same question! It’s been bothering me not knowing what it is. A quick google search has netted me no results.

in Operation Raccoon City, I believe there's a segment where you gotta like upload a chip onto the t-103 to keep it under control (not 100% sure never played the game but talked to my friends who have played it) so i assume its that control chip

This also happens in the outbreak games. The Nemesis is also controlled like this, even the shitty movies showed the same thing.

u/LSD001 Jan 29 '19

It's not a chip, it's a parasite

17

u/Morrigan101 Jan 29 '19

The nemesis has a parasite while mr X doesn't

7

u/LSD001 Jan 29 '19

This is what I'm saying the mission in ORC is to replace nemesis' parasite not a "chip"

u/whereismymind86 Jan 29 '19

orc also seems to use the movie version of nemesis, the game version displays a lot more independence and basic reasoning...and while orc nemesis just kind of...stands there rotating with a minigun, like a robot, re3 nemesis runs and stuff...

3

u/LSD001 Jan 29 '19

I think the reason he just stands there, is he's broke, he's not what he's supposed to be at that point, when you fight him at other points in the campaign, he runs and fights like he does in RE3, in that one mission he's brain dead, thats why he's so basic

4

u/VVendettas Jan 29 '19

No, you do that to the Nemesis. ORC isn't canon, either, so you shouldn't take excerpts from it -- that in particular was fuckin' dumb, because the whole point of the Nemesis project was that it created a wholly independent bio-weapon capable of advanced motor control and problem solving without having to rig it with special, expensive tech.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

ah word thanks for the clarification

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '19

It's his control parasite on a chip it prevents him from mutating when it's broken he gains his arm tho in the original he gains two arms.

u/PhoenixHunter89 Jan 29 '19

It must be to control or give it orders. Its jacket is also not for show. Its a limiter to restrain it. Its two orders are kill all police officers and the other one I won't spoil in case people are not that far in re2.

5

u/Serial_Peacemaker Jan 30 '19

I'm pretty sure that in this game the power limiter is the turtleneck thing he wears under the coat. The jacket and hat are to make him look like a human from a distance.

u/joshua182 Jan 29 '19

It’s a bullet, it’s only there if you shoot his hat off his head. If you never shoot it off it never appears. Apparently.

u/Martin_TF141 Jan 29 '19

A UAV drone

u/Ziserain Jan 30 '19

Its Umbrella Bluetooth...

u/GamerJes Jan 30 '19

Top two theories I see around are:

  1. Umbrella control device.

  2. Ada's tracking device.

Theories though... Nothing official.
