Guns for Survivors
One of the things that I have wanted for a while is new items for survivors. Radios, foods, drugs, anything that the survivors can use to get a slight advantage. The most obvious choice I could think off was guns. They are a staple in horror movies, often doing almost nothing to the killer, but still helping the characters in some way.
For the sake of consistency, every gun is a revolver. If they wanted to make different types they could, but BHVR likes reusing models, so they could just change the textures of the guns as an easy way to tell them apart. Or they could all just be the same model, I'm not picky.
Firearms: Guns found in the realms that can be used to fight back against the beasts trying to kill you.
Aiming:
When holding a gun, you can press M2 to aim the gun (like a flashlight). Aiming takes 1 second before you can fire. When aiming with a gun, the survivors movement speed is slowed to 1.5 m/s, or 37.5% speed. When aiming, the screen will be zoomed in by 25%.
Shooting:
When aiming, pressing M1 will make the survivor shoot the gun. Shooting the gun costs 1 charge. When fired, a bullet will travel out of the gun at 60 m/s. After firing, there will be a .75 second delay before the survivor can shoot again.
Hitting the killer:
If you hit a killer, that killer will be slowed by 5% for 3 seconds. Any consecutive shots before the time has run out will just add 3 more seconds. If shot with a round that has an increased slow on the killer is then shot, it will add the normal amount of time, and change the slow down to the new speed for the rest of the duration.
