Ok before people cry op I'm on about slow acting poisen that wears off but it could be useful like if you get hit with a weapon using this perk at full health instead of wounded your have a chance of being poisend which slowly kills you and theres 2 ways to stop it being slugged and hooked/finding the antidote in a chest but said chest only spawns in the killers hut

    Who at most is easy to counter and you have ages to find a trap remover I'm on about making people choose between slowing down from multiple hit's to a animation of dying from toxin's to taking a hook to get rid of it/morality of players willing to risk dying to save others with no safety buff of 2 hits

    Sounds like a better version of the pig, might even be a viable killer, so that wont happen :wink:

    Damn lol but you see the appeal in aiming at ideas that instead of using existing mechanic's it change's them to make things new like someone said booby trapped chest's and I immediately though how it can work like there random and one time but if your wounded looking for a med kit and open it you enter the struggle for you life but this one has 2 nasty add-ons one of the killer finds you first your booted into the spike and dragged into the chest and its dragged away by hooks but if a survivor saves you they take your place (with a trophy for saving you at there own life) now tell me if I'm mistaken that would mess with swf teams because they have to show weather there loyalty is to there friends or will they let you die just because they don't want to and as a bonus if you dc the hook goes to a new chest so no cheating death

    The "exposed" status....does not reveal your position. The name is misleading. A more proper term would be "Vulnerable". The status effect causes a character to be
    fully downed in one hit, instead of the usual two.

    You want a killer to have a mechanic where the survivor would need to either get thrown on a hook, or go to the basement to find an antidote before they die?

    They need to either get thrown on a hook, or go to a specific area that the killer could easily block access to before time runs out and they die.

    Are you starting to see yet how this would be completely unbalanced?

    We already have similar mechanics pig with reverse bear traps they also had games with poison in movies so it could be just an addon replacing them which wouldn't change anything and clown can hit you with a bottle and down you in one hit. And if you could only get the antidote in one spot killer would just camp. I think we have enough Wraiths and Pigs a it is.
