Killer add-ons should become permanent as you prestige.
Killer addons are way too central in dead by daylight for them to be consumable. It's not like survivors where their gameplay is completely unhindered by not having items. Killer addons on a good number of killers are often more important to the killer than entire perk builds, some killers even barely above the line of playable without specific addon builds.
Wraith without addons might as well not exist. Trapper without bag addons? Have fun.
The idea is simple. As players prestige unlock a purchasable permanent version of the addons and unlock more with each prestige level. Yellow + brown for Prestige 1, Green for Prestige 2, and Purple for prestige 3. I'd even argue throwing pink in there considering a pretty damn large amount of the pink add ons aren't even considered to be best on their respective killers, some not even being considered good at all and close to worthless.
You could easily tune addons that'd become more problematic if people are able to run them every single game. As it is I don't think anyone thinks Iridescent head huntress is a good mechanic for the game so I doubt anyone would miss it.
EDIT: Not referring to offerings in anyway. Only addons.

Well apparently my luck is just trash then. Even green addons seem to be in short supply, and the worst part of it is that if I want to get more addons I have to spend the few points I'm earning to grind through the bloodwebs which takes away from my ability to level other characters.
This relegates me to having to always run BBQ for the points and try to play a farm character who doesn't need to buy addons to stay in the green.

please god no. i understand where your coming from with the trapper and wraith and maybe "the ghost" should be in wraith's base kit and the brown trap bag should be in trapper's (base kit) but i don't think permanent addons are the way to go

For leveling up and getting prestige 3 on every other character. The grind is far from being gone. The amount of bloodpoints needed to prestige 3 every killer and survivor + get all of the perks on them is astronomical.

I mean why not? Part of the reason things are the way they are is because there's conditions for them to work that the devs think of as balance. We all know Iridescent head huntress is bad. No one likes playing against it and you couldn't pay me to actually play it, but because it's a pink add on and thus based on RNG the devs say it's kinda fair.
By making everything permanent you're given more room to clearly knee cap the problem children and open killers up to building more off meta things.
I've said it before but If I could do pallet breaker wraith every game I would.

what are you trying to say?

I'd disagree that they should be permanently unlocked. Some people find prestiging too much effort anyway.
I'd say maybe give them a bonus Bloodpoint increase to help them get back some of the points they spent leveling up. 0% increase at P1, 25% P2 and 50% P3. I think people who don't want to grind won't be missing out on as much then.

There's no particular reason why addons shouldn't be permanent. The only issues that'd arise are from poorly designed addons that break the game, but they can just be nerfed to tune them to the change. The reason why they haven't been nerfed yet is because they were rare and couldn't be ran every game, so RNG was the limiter and thus made them "fair" by the devs standards.

what you're talking about would only really work on killers that need a better base kit like the 2 you listed. also going by pretige ties it to bloodpoints which makes bbq nearly madatory if you want to play as well as other players which is a level of pay-to-win i can't stand

As I said multiple times, if there are problem child addons that are too strong then they can just be tuned down like they should've been in the first place. And while I respect your opinion me and you have 2 very different opinions on what Pay 2 Win is.

being forced to buy leatherface for bbq or essentially be down 3 addon slots isnt pay-to-win? getting up pretige levels is millions of blood points that would give those with bbq a clear advantage
