Spray Can: Item Concept
I've been thinking about what new items Survivors can use that aren't exclusive to events (fire crackers). And so I thought of something: Spray Cans.
I thought of how Survivors can use items to strategically mark areas and inform themselves and others of what the Killer is doing.
Here's an example:
Spray Can (common)
Description: Leaving a mark is how you make your enemies never forget what you’re capable of. Spray a symbol on the floor where you’re standing, consumes 1 charge. Whenever the Killer is within 8 meters of the symbol, their aura is revealed to you from any distance. Symbols last for 60 seconds. 2 charges.
And there could be more Spray Can variants of higher rarity that can slow Killer movement speeds, show Killer aura to other survivors, etc.
Another Example:
Rusted Splash Canister (Very Rare)
Description: A sturdy canister that looks to have been frequently used in the past. Spray a symbol on the floor where you're standing, consumes 1 charge. When a Killer is within 8 meters of the symbol, their movement speed is moderately decreased. Symbols lasts for 70 seconds. 2 charges.
Thoughts?

Thanks, glad you like it :).

Spray Can is a pretty cool idea, but I think maybe let them use it to mark things for other survivors? Like maybe some markings only survivors can see. Maybe leave messages.

Yeah I just listed a couple of ideas, but your ideas can work as well. After all, all items come with their set of add-ons.

Definitely a neat concept, but I don't think it should provide the kind of information you want it to.
With the aura reading you're suggesting, the problem I have is that it steps on other items' toes (figuratively). Maps already reveal points of interest in the trial, and keys track survivor or killer auras. Maps can already use add-ons to reveal things to other survivors, and I'm hoping that keys will be reworked to have their aura reading become a base ability (instead of opening hatch), so this would be too similar either way.
I'm just spitballing an alternative here, but what if it instead hid auras of players (survivor and killer) standing on top of it? Sort of like a temporary on-the-go locker? Could be an interesting game mechanic not yet explored with items yet. However I do think it should be a single-use regardless and at minimum a Very Rare (purple) or higher rarity, because either ability is a strong passive item function.

Personally, I think it should only mark stuff, and not give buffs or debuffs

Reduce movement speed huh, my white naked ass.
Use the glass bead addon on the map for marking.
