Pig Addon Reworks

A lot of them suck, and a large saturation of bad addons make progression feel a lot less rewarding. Going to go through every one of them that I would change.


Workshop Grease: Moderately increases Jigsaw Box Skill Check Trigger odds. (20%) Survivors that complete Great Skill Checks on Jigsaw Boxes are not rewarded with bonus progress.

Shattered Syringe: Slightly decreases missed Ambush Attack cooldown. Slightly reduces Ambush Attack Charge time. (-50%) (I think Common addons that do an Uncommon addon's job, worse is just generally bad game design as uncommons are easy enough to get anyway, so I'm avoiding that with these reworks)

John's Medical FIle: Moderately increases movement speed while crouched. (+0.4 m/s to 4.0 m/s or 100% movement speed)


Video Tape: Disables the Survivor's ability to see the Auras of Jigsaw Boxes until their Reverse Bear Trap is activated. (replacing Rules Set No. 2)

Utility Blades: Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Haemorrhage Status Effect and bleed while healthy.

Razor Wires: The noise of Survivors searching Jigsaw Boxes can be heard from 8 meters further than normal. Survivors who complete Good Skill Checks on a Jigsaw Box scream and produce a loud noise notification.

Face Mask: Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Blindness Status Effect and will experience less predictable Skill Checks. (these are the same as the Doctor's madness skillchecks and trigger at a 100% rate) Does not affect the Jigsaw Box aura.


Rusty Attachments: Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Mangled Status Effect. The Mangled Status Effect will persist if a Reverse Bear Trap is removed in the Injured state, and will only be negated once healed.

Jigsaw's Annotated Plan: Available Jigsaw Boxes increased by 1. Moderately increases Reverse Bear Trap death timer. Available Reverse Bear Traps increased by 1.

Interlocking Razor: Tremendously increases the Regression penalty of failed Skill Checks on Jigsaw Boxes. Ending a Jigsaw Box search prematurely (excluding the search being cancelled by The Pig's attacks) will cause Healthy Survivors to become Injured and Injured Survivors to suffer the Deep Wounds status effect. This provides the Survivor a speed boost from injury as normal.


Amanda's Secret: Upon placing a Reverse Bear Trap, the Survivor closest to you not caught in a Reverse Bear Trap has their Aura revealed to you and suffers from the Exposed Status Effect. Downing this Survivor will immediately revive the last Survivor you caught in a Reverse Bear Trap from the Dying State. This effect ends when you either pick up a Survivor, or the most recent Survivor you caught in a Reverse Bear Trap is healed from the Dying State. (yeah, that's a hell of a read, but it pretty much comes down to Pig being able to refuse to Hook a RBTed Survivor in exchange for being able to chain between Survivors and get a bunch of them trapped at once, or at minimum get some information whenever she places an RBT. I wanted to make Amanda's Secret better, but didn't really like how its current state heavily encouraged attacking Survivors with RBTs)


Rules Set No.2: Up to 4 Reverse Bear Traps in your inventory will be placed on all Survivors at the start of the Trial. At the start of the Trial, a random Generator is immediately completed, triggering Reverse Bear Traps as usual. Significantly increases Reverse Bear Trap death timer. (not sure by exactly how much but +60 seconds would be my estimate. Lots of playtesting would be needed, though)

Amanda's Letter: When crouched, Auras of Survivors within 20 metres are revealed to The Pig. Avaliable Reverse Bear Traps reduced by 3. (note: Removed "Avaliable Jigsaw Boxes reduced by 2." Amanda's Letter gutting your avaliable RBTs means lowering the total number of Jigsaw Boxes just adds insult to injury. Radius of aura revealing is also buffed to 20 meters to make Amanda's Letter more equal to comparable addons like Wraith's All Seeing - Blood)


I'm not 100% about the Amanda's Secret rework as it's honestly a semi-UR, not certain about Rules Set No.2's rework because it's pretty damn brutal and would need a lot of playtesting (even though I REALLY like the idea of all Survivors starting out in traps, much like a SAW movie), and a bit worried about the potential Pig could reach with Skillcheck punishes for newer players, so alternative suggestions or thoughts are welcome. I do think, however, these changes would make Pig players a lot more interested in using a variety of addons, instead of a large number of them feeling like a waste of Bloodpoints.

    I like your idea but some add-on might be OP in my opinion (and in survivors opinion LOL) like Amanda's Secret that nearby survivor get exposed and have seen aura by killer.

    And yes, The Pig add-on is useless compare to other Killer.
