Alien Chapter Idea

Onyx_Blue

I've wanted this to be a chapter ever since Licensed dlc was first released and shown to be possible in the game. Here's my idea for how this chapter could be designed.

The Alien - Xenomorph

4.6m/s

24m 🎯

Tall ↕

Power: Perfect Organism

Created to be the deadliest lifeform in existance. Xenomorph possesses abilities to get around defences with ease. After being Stunned by a survivor: 'pallet; grasp escape; Head On (etc)', the next pallet to cause a stun will be coated in a thick layer of Acid that eats away at the wood. Any Survivor that interacts with an Acid Pallet will be injured and inflicted with the Mangled status effect for 60 seconds and the Deep Wound status effect. The pallet will break 15 seconds after it has been coated in Acid, unless it is reset.

Special Ability:

Swift Pounce - Push the Active Ability button to begin charging up, press the Attack button when charged, or while charging, to perform a devastating pounce attack. The longer it's held the further Xenomorph Pounces, up to a range of 8m. This also allows the Xenomorph to Pounce over Vaults.

Secondary Ability:

Hunt - Push the Secondary Ability button to enter Hunt. While in Hunt, gain the Undetectable status effect and the Xenomorph enters a crouched like state, whereby drops down to all fours. This ability lasts until an attack has been performed. It has a cooldown of 50 seconds. Upon activation Xenomorph emit a hissing noise that has a 56m range with no discernable direction to it.

Hex: Hive Mind - "The well being of the hive is priority, no one can be allowed to escape it nor endanger it" If this totem is still active once the Exit Gates are powered, both levers are blocked by the Entity for 40/50/60 seconds. However, if this totem is cleansed before the Exit Gates are powered, any opening progression of an Exit Gate left unopened regresses at 100/150/200%.

So basically this Killer is The Pig, Legion, Ghostface and demogorgan all in one. It sorta needs to be more creative and to me it seems quite complicated.

@LuluTheLion14 I did have an idea when I first came up with the chapter to make it centred around the Face-Hugger. The Xenomorph would still have the ability to Pounce attack and have the Acid Blood mechanic as described in my post. But the main power was gonna be, at command, you summon an AI controlled Face-Hugger to chase down the survivor, up to a range of 12m at a base speed of 4.6m/s. When the face hugger catches up to the survivor it jumps at their face, forcing them to engage in a struggle mechanic that lasts for 12 seconds that also intermitantly throws Considerably difficult skill-checks at them whilst having to keep wiggling the stick. Failing a skill-check reduces the struggle bar, failing to fill the struggle bar before the 12 seconds expires causes the Face-Hugger to latch onto their face and impregnate them with an Alien embryo. The Survivor is then put into the dying state and cannot be picked up by the killer or their teammates for 15 seconds. They do not bleed out during this time, after which the survivor is in the dying state as normal. Once Impregnated, the survivor will cough loudly every 60 seconds revealing their location to the killer. The embryo inside the survivor dies once a survivor has been injured or downed after being hooked once. So, if you go down to the Face-Hugger, and are then hooked by the killer, next time you are downed or injured by the killer anytime after being rescued, the embryo inside you dies and you no longer reveal your location, meaning back to gameplay as usual. The Summoning of a Face-Hugger can only be used once every 100 seconds.

I scrapped this idea because I felt it would be too dependent on a survivor if the killer gains the pressure from their ability.

I also disagree that this isn't creative. Yes it uses inspiration from what we have in the game currently, but on a different level to what we already do. This killer would be the first killer to crawl on all fours at a low frame. It would also be the first killer to be able to attack through a window vault animation. Nothing too complex about it either, really. 3 functions but none of which are hard to understand or conflict with each other.
