Devs Teased Bubba Add-On Rework
Comments

The only possible use I can think of is to slug someone who you suspect has DS active. Otherwise, what would be the benefit of this add-on? If the Survivors aren't close to having the gates powered, you probably wouldn't leave someone on the ground (assuming no one is near you, though if they are near you, this add-on doesn't activate). If they are, they're more likely to just power through the last of the gens, which means the aura hiding isn't going to mean as much.

Wont have to use the perk in this case but it's still weak because it's just 20 secs. If it was way longer then okay.

Original stuff that doesn't get used is pointless.

Imagine 1 Survivor being 31 meters away from him.
WOOPSIE, no hidden Aura for you! 😬

Wait for the rest of the Add-Ons. One of the worst things of Bubba is that his Add Ons are copy&paste from Hillbilly. But even worse - except for Chargetime, they dont do anything. Cooldown? Whatever, you dont use the Chainsaw for Mobility and his animation is super-long anyway. Speed? What does it matter? Again, no Mobility and you use the Chainsaw when you are right behind them, nobody cares how fast he will be.
Being a unique Add-On at least indicates that his Add Ons will be more interesting in the future.

It would even be useless without the restriction to be honest unless the other addons are even more useless haha

Nurse definitely became worse. Her add-ons are all jokes.
0 -
I remembered they teased the worthless nurse's purple add-on before her rework.. (the one that teleports you back after you just teleport)
1 -
of course she became worse. Which was 100% justified.
2 -
Old nurse had an addon that gave the Nurse an extra blink with no additional effects.
The current extra blink addon is a straight downgrade from that in every way.
0 -
O look, an addon rendered useless by SWF. Nice.
8 -
Not for those joke add-ons.
Using her ultra rare add-ons are a nerf to her instead of buff.
Her purple add-ons are also jokes, and buggy as hell.
2 -
Yeah I remember them, I feel that they should make it so that the torn bookmark does not apply that annoying penalty.
0 -
The duration is waaaaaay to low for that honestly
2 -
It'd be nice if the cooldown was straight up removed lol
0 -
Don't hold your breath.
0 -
What cooldown?
0 -
The 20 second duration. I guess it's not really a cooldown huh?

I feel like they don't need to literally just copy the killer's perks onto add-ons. They reworked Doctor, and sure he has add-ons that adjust his terror radius and skill checks, but in ways that work uniquely with his power rather than just being copies of Monitor and Abuse or Overcharge. It feels so lazy- addons should be a way to create new playstyles for existing Killers, they shouldn't be a crappy 5th perk slot.
1 -
You can do that manually by using the second blink. Sure, sometimes the range is not enough, but it's doable.
0 -
I mean I am fine with lower add on power and actually a steong base power. I'd prefer all killers to be able to play add-on less while not overpowered with add-ons.
2 -
I'll bet there is more to this than just add-ons being changed.
0 -
I love how no one has yet to point out the typo in the description.

I think they're going to hurt our Bubba. They don't want him to be an A tier killer 😥
With a killer like Bubba who is supposedly a weak killer, they normally change their base kit also. Any killer who's base kit is changed normally is given their own unique chase music. So this makes me wonder..
Can the devs give him different chase music without talking to the license holder? If they did talk to the license holder then does that mean that he will get new cosmetics?

Actually...they did something similar with two of Nurse's addons, lol.
this is nurses calling in addon form
this is stridor in addon form
0 -
Imagine slugging as Bubba
0 -
That add-on sounds awful.
I hope they don't mess with Carburettor Tuning Guide. I don't remember what other add-ons I used, maybe The Grease, but CTG is definitely my fav of his add-ons. Please let that one get by unscathed.

Why this addon is really bad:
You don't know when you apply the effect. A survivor can be hiding behind a rock and you don't know that.
When would it be actually usable? If you down a survivor with your chainsaw without others being around, why would you ever leave and go out 32 meters+ to find others and not hook them?? And only for 20 seconds? Doesn't make sense. If you want to down the survivor after being unhooked and leave them on the ground for DS this doesn't work either because most likely another survivor is within 32 meters of your terror radius AND you usually don't down injured survivors with your chainsaw either.
I don't know man... Do these devs even play their game and know that this is just a really bad addon? How can they seem to think this is worth a green addon?

Completely useless lol

This is the same nonsense they pulled with the Nurse rework.
BUBBA COMES WITH KNOCKOUT.
BUBBA DOES NOT NEED AN ADD ON FOR KNOCKOUT.
GIVE BUBBA A REAL ADD ON INSTEAD OF COPY PASTING HIS OWN PERK ONTO AN ADD ON.
5 -
Dude, Thanatophobia is the only nurse perk not copied by one of her add-ons.
0 -
Yeah I'm ready to see "Downing survivors with Bubba's Chainsaw removes 10% of their item's charges."
3 -
Actually you're wrong about the Nurse part. Bad Man Keepsake is Nurse's Calling but only lasts 60 seconds and Metal Spoon is Stridor
0 -
Yeah, soneone pointed it out after because I didn't know, but now I know of this add-on's existance.
Maybe they want to free a perk slot by using an add-on(?), that's the only reason I can think of tbh

The addon has one little aspect were it works slightly better than KO. When the effect is applied, it won't show the slug even if someone gets closer than 16 meters. With KO, the slug will be shown then. But putting multiple restrictions on the addon really nullifies this small benefit over the perk.
Like someone else wrote already, besides the time limit and survs in your TR deactivating it, you actually do not KNOW if you applied it, which I think is the worst part of it. You could take IF with you, if noone screams, the aura of the slug is likely hidden (if someone chills in a locker in your TR, he won't scream and deny the effect without you knowing it ... you could equip Iron Maiden for this case :P). If someone screams, great, new victim. But the slug will be shown.
Alternatively, you could try to make yourself Undetectable before downing someone (Trail of Torment, Dark Devotion, a reworked Insidious), then you can be sure the slugs aura is hidden.
But even then, 20 seconds is just to short to use it for actually slugging. The only potential I see here is using the effect to hook the downed survivor without the other survivors knowing where the hook takes place. So they couldn't hide so well behind a gen to prevent being seen with BBQ. But thats a rather niche case, since lockers are more reliable, or you just don't care for the BBQ, since it's only bubba.
I do find the addon idea nice. But the restrictions are just to heavy. I would say, buff the time limit to like 45s or even a minute and remove the part with survivor in TR disabling it. If a surv is this near, he will know the area where to search for the slug anyway. Why give the other surv this information for free as well? Or, if this survivor-disables-it-in-TR really needs to stay, at least give the Bubba some inidicator that the effect was NOT applied!

Personally I like the idea of add-ons that mimic the Killer's teachables. I do agree that the restrictions seem overly tight, though, and weak for a green. Twenty seconds and only if no one is in your Terror Radius seems arbitrary. I can think of two perks this would pair with as-is, but it doesn't seem worth it.
Infectious Fright will tell you if it worked or not, while Furtive Chase would increase the odds of it working if you can get stacks on it.
That said, an Add-on version of Franklin's Demise, Survivors downed by the chainsaw drop their items, would be a better Teachable Add-on in my opinion. Especially since it could actually pair with Franklin's Demise the perk such that any hit would cause an item drop. Basic Attacks would kick in the perk, chainsaw hits would kick in the add-on.

Seriously. This add on looks terrible. I hope they're reading this.
0 -
There are actually 2. One that copies Nurse's Calling and one that copies Stridor.
0 -
Demogorgon also has an add-on, Lifeguard Whistle, that's basically Mindbreaker on his portals.
0 -
I hate that you've pointed that out
0 -
Honestly sounds like a good add-on that can open a few different playstyles. When this add-on becomes a problem is when EVERY add-on is similar to this.
Remember it's okay to not have all S tier add-ons.
0 -
Yes change the add ons to probably the worst killer in the game with no power changes. Peak BHVR design philosophy.
0 -
The description of that add-on is incomplete actually.
Here is the missing part:
- This effect does not trigger if you are playing against SWF.
Knock Out is terrible because it has a high chance of doing nothing, that is if you play against SWF. Same thing in the case of Empathy, Bond, Blood Pact, Better Together or Aftercare and maybe other effects that I am missing.
Easy fix for both Knock Out and this add-on; add one of these effects to them:
- Crawling speed is reduced
- Crawling is disabled
- Self-recovery speed when downed is reduced
- Can't be healed / recover for X seconds after being downed
Adding a secondary effect to them solves that problem and makes them potentially worth using.
As they are right now both the add-on and Knock Out are not worth running. There are too many ways to make them completely useless and the effect is not strong enough to justify that. Instead of using a perk or add-on that has a high chance of doing nothing you should just run a perk or add-on that always does something useful.

If he does we need to use every single Ebony Mori in every single game we can. We need to show them they can't hurt out Bubba.
0 -
If this add-on just did a few extra things then it would be better.
Hide the survivors down icon from the other survivors HUDS. It also needs to hide the scream the survivor makes also. This makes the add-on actually more tactical and could maybe make the add-on somewhat interesting.
0 -
Literally half her useable add-ons copy her perks lmao. There's one that makes survivors moan louder while injured after a blink hit, and one that allows you to see auras of survivors healing within a radius after a blink hit.
0 -
Can we all collectively just calm down and wait until they actually proceed with the rework? In no way, shape or form does this look like a finished version. They're probably still testing stuff out, let's wait a bit and then it they go through with it we'll complain.
2 -
Why does everyone always act like using ebony moris is something the devs object to?
0 -
I wouoldnt get too excited. Based on their track record, theyre not going to make him meta, Theyre going to make him "fun" for survivors to play against
0 -
Its because they dont listen to their hardcore fans that actually know what theyre talking about and just do things they think we want. If it were up to us, there would be no NOED or DS, no maps like Midwitch or haddonfield. Thered be less toxicity overall, but they "know what theyre doing"
