Fixing all of Hillbilly's New Trash Addons

So there seem to be a few addons that were given to Hillbilly that seem basically useless or make you a weaker killer than it should. I could argue that anything to do with chainsaw cooling & increasing the Overheat limit is also kind of useless now, as I feel the Overheat mechanic was fixed to the point of not even needing these addons really, but some people might find those a bit more useful themselves & they at least have some value.

Here are the changes I would make to the addons I find to be the worst:

Big Buckle - sounded like a good addon at first, but now you pretty much won't ever Overheat unless you intentionally try to. So maybe increase the rate at which you Overheat when this addon is active & the duration at which your chainsaw is cooling down. Also, I would up it to a TR decrease of 12-16m since you can't make good use of it with your chainsaw. Make it a bit gimmicky but actually have some interesting value.

Mother's Helpers - useless atm. I would just make the increased movement speed effect persist for 15 seconds after having a flashlight shined on you. Simple solution.

Black Grease - I say completely alter this, make it so if someone blinds you that they gain the exposed status effect for 10 seconds. Make people second guess flashlighting a Hillbilly.

Tuned Carburetor - my only complaint is that if you make him a 110% movement speed killer with this, he should also gain a 24m TR. Seems only fair.

Lopros Chains - make it so the chainsaw only damages for a single health state when going through a pallet. It should not be doing that for every chainsaw hit. It's basically speed limiter Billy with a small (& practically insignificant) plus. Getting a hit through a pallet is a lot harder then the devs realize. Survivors will just never drop pallets until they think youre gonna M1 or they will drop them early all the time if they see you have it. So the value out of it is really not that great compared to the downside.

The rest of his addons seem fine ornat least useable in some fashion. These are the ones that seem to be the most harsh against him or just straight up useless for him. Thoughts?
