New Killer Idea: Blacklung, the Miner

I was talking about this awhile back in DeadlyKitten160's stream and people seem to be into the idea so I thought i'd pitch it here.

A new killer, who is a miner, his special attack could be to blow/cough coal dust into the face of survivors. Survivors need to do something to cleanse themselves of this, drinking, or perhaps just sitting still, maybe finding an oxygen mask. If they don't, like deep wounds it would have the penalty of downing them after X amount of time. For the duration, survivors cough/wheeze giving away their locations if killer is close enough to hear.

Main weapon could be a pickax, he is emaciated, shambles around coughing and wheezing, and dragging his pickax behind him.

His map could be mostly underground, a series of mine shafts all connected, one part is "open" though being that they managed to dig into a cave system. Exits to the map could be similar to Lery's where the front door has the wall around it. Only this case it would be leaving the mine to find a wall/gate in front of it.

His skills:

Rubble/Cave In: Causes an eruption of earth to block up to 5/6/7 points on the map. This would block places where pallets could have spawned, or have been destroyed. (Similar to Freddie's fake pallets)

Blasting cap: Trap up to 1/2/3 generators, causing them to explode upon completion, any survivor working on the gen at completion would have their health reduced by 1 health state. Or, alternatively instead of exploding upon completion it could start with 1/2/3 gens trapped so that upon starting the repair they explode and are unable to be repaired for up to 60/90/120 seconds. (2nd version with the traps at start could also help to slow down the game after ruin got nerfed)

Miner's Light/Flash/Headlamp: Miner wears a helmet with a flashlight, every 60/50/40 seconds they are able to use it to blind a survivor. Doesn't go onto cool down until it has been successfully used. Additionally it would reduce the time spent blinded by survivors by 30/40/50%

Addons could do things like, cause the cough effect to also darken vision of survivors effected causing the edges of their screen to be blacked out so only the inner 80% of the screen is usable. Iridecent pick could be like huntresses iri axes, that insta down, but causes the lunge to be slower. Another epic addon could be to cause players to straight up die if they don't cleans the M2 effect, similar to how pig can use traps to pop people's heads. You could also take a page from plague and make it so when using a specific add on they can see player's auras whenever they cough.

Survivor Idea: The foreman, brother to the killer, knew him before everything went to hell.

His skills:

Big Boss: When within a 10/15/20m range of other survivors, all skill check zones are bigger and/or the skill check meter goes slower by 10%.

Just Kick it: Every 80/70/60 seconds survivor can kick a gen, instantly giving it 5/10/15% completion.

Dig Out: Allows survivor to clear away rubble piles created by miner.
