"Deathslinger's March" - A Bayonet Charge ability to Offset the new killers main weakness
First, I have to say, I love the new killer. I tend to be very picky when it comes to killers, but he has the right mix of look and ability to crack my top three (sorry demo). This being said, I largely agree with the primary constructive criticism being presented with the Deathslinger. While immensely fun, his lack of speed both traversing the map and reeling in survivors (as many have noted) really hurt his ability to provide pressure.
While many immediately suggest bumping up his base speed to 115%, I think his current speed would suffice if he had a secondary ability to bayonet charge survivors. Say a little slower speed than The Pigs ambush dash attack (160% instead of 172.5%) for 3 seconds (compared to The Pigs 2.5 seconds). Since, of course, we he does have a ranged ability and this should largely be his primary focus, this ability would have a longer cool-down (60 secs akin to the doctors static blast or perhaps more?). This ability would not only fit really well with the weapon he wields, it may be able to help with some of the readily apparent problems with his current speed. Plus, I just thought deathslinger's march sounded sick tbh...
The new killer is very fun and I am not one of those people who always pops up complaining about killers effectiveness, but since this is the PTB I think this would be a fitting add-on to make the new killer more viable and fun!

He really does need more movement speed options so yeah this sounds pre good

I don't think that's a good idea, we actually have wayyyyy too many charge characters. I'd rather an addon that allows me to fire an additional shot or reload faster or even reel in faster

By that logic, there's way too many killers with M1 attacks. A bayonette charge would work well on him.
Also, I still, to this day, think if Pennywise was to be introduced, he would need a charge.
See 2:10 in this video for an idea:

Not to be rude, but that is a kinda flawed point. We have Pig, Oni, Hillbilly, and him. That's more charges than there are characters who teleport. It would get bland. I'd rather more new and unique stuff.

It's a flawed point to say your logic is flawed? Excellent defense.

I literally put an idea like this in another chat, I though it would sort of put him at 120% for like 3 seconds and it would insta down, but it would have a cooldown and stun duration

Apparently I struck a nerve. I'm saying it's flawed that you'd make a comparison of "then there's too many killers that use M1" to killers who use a charge ability. I know you were being sarcastic, but still. If they did that, there would be too many killers with a charge and it would be boring. Extremely boring. Let's use keep using this same ability for all killers while we're at it..

Just make it to where if your injured and he gets you with it but you break out your downed
