I am kinda hesitant to support this sort of item. i like the concept of the physical item appearing in the blood web but honestly it sounds awful to play against when combined with other perks especially. I would pretty heavily nerf the numbers and %s if I were to put it in. Especially given DS is one of the strongest standalone perks in dbd and this strikes a similar cord. But I do like the creativity and concept on paper. Maybe one of the things it could do is "stun" the killer but not have them be dropped, maybe give them a % slower movement after? IDK.

Yeah usually anything I make I first start very high and obviously meta but with suggestions I tweak the values and if I really needs it rework it altogether. I was looking it over any I drop both % by 25. In a game where you can easily scratch and stab a killer because of how they hold you, these things would make sense. Anyways, if I wanted to rework it, I would likely take your suggestion of the shank itself will stun the killer but not drop the survivor so one or more things could happen: Flashlight save as soon as the killer is mobile again, Pallet stun (light flashlight), sabotaging hooks before the killer gets there, or simply using the stun time to wiggle free. That version would likely have more skill and coordination to do on both sides. Tbh, I hate the wiggling action; it’s almost impossible to escape normal with the meta perks (which is basically pay to win stuff), or the killer making more mistakes than humanly possible. This isn’t a rant section tho, thanks for your criticism! I appreciate it!
