'''[[Intelligence]]:''' '''Average''' (Although he is noted to [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/until-dawn/images/7/75/Profile2.png/revision/latest?cb=20160824134749 not be the sharpest tool in the box, with a fairly low GPA]<ref>Until Dawn™: Your Companion</ref>, Matt is not quite the meat brain everyone sees him as, and can be quite quick-witted at times.)

===[[Standard Equipment]]===
<tabber>
|-|Weapons=
*'''SOLDIER Sword:''' A standard broadsword with no Materia slots, utilized by all members of the SOLDIER program with very few exceptions. This sword is good to use for training or any other mild combat, though the swords are extremely prone to breaking and cannot bolster the use of Materia in any way.
*'''Octaslash:''' Using his Digital Mind Wave for [[Sephiroth]], Zack can replicate his iconic attack. This has him slash his opponents into the air, and strike them eight consecutive times.
'''Weaknesses:''' Beck is generally a pacifist and will attempt to reason with people even when it is unwise to do so, [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=6329 so he must be constantly reminded that combat is the only way to settle the situations he's in]. [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=6569 Contact with malfunctioning equipment is fatal to him], as is most electric hazards.
'''Note:''' Beck does not scale to any of the major bosses of the game, without using their abilities. This is because of a main gimmick of the boss fights, in which [https://youtu.be/2XFX4IPd0mw?t=481 bosses will not actually sustain any damage and will simply recover anything lost]. The only way Beck can actually keep their health down [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=488 is by dashing into them while their Xels are visible], which can be attributed more to [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=272 Beck absorbing and assimilating their Xels] than him actually causing harm. This is backed up further by [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=478 every boss fight showing their Xel count in their introduction], and [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=508 Beck finishing every battle by "snapping them out of it"], aka assimilating them. To back it up even further, [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=608 Beck is in disbelief about facing the other Mighty Numbers], and Dr. White [https://youtu.be/_rg2VOK5bcs?t=614 rephrases that he is only being sent to fight them due to his assimilation ability].

This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.
