Survivor Item Concept: Smoke Bomb
General
The smoke bomb is a one time use item. It can be used while running, the survivors let’s it drop on the floor and there will be smoke around that area similar to Clowns gas, but not in pink but probably just normal gray smoke. In this smoke, no scratch marks will be visible. If a survivor stays longer than x seconds in the smoke, they will start coughing. Smoke disappears after a small amount of time passed.
The depleted smoke bomb will disappear and can’t be brought out of the game after usage.
This Item could work like the Flash Bang, which was introduced with the Resident Evil chapter (and which was also an item i actually wanted to create based on Alien: Isolation); so perk related instead of Bloodweb or chests and not able to take outside!
Rarity
The rarity will affect the size of the smoke as well as the time it will stay.
Addons
Addons can vary the time until a surv start coughing, add the effect of revealing the killers aura while in the smoke or make the vision of the killer (and survivor?) blurred like clowns gas.
If it ends up like the flashbangs to be a perk related item, then obviously there would be no addons.
Background
This is not an entirely new concept and I read some similar ideas actually here somewhere in the forums. But I put my own little spin on it and it was actually something that first popped into my mind while playing Alien: Isolation.
The picture is also based on the item in Alien-Isolation.
My other concepts (Feedback and suggestions always welcome):
Killers: The Ice Queen, Hannibal, Charlie(The Darkness), The Blair Witch, The Firebreather, The Photographer
Survivors: Aria Morrison, Lukas Schmidt, Paitoon Saeli
Survivor Items: Piece of Chalk, Pocket Knife, Walkie Talkies, Lighter, Water Bottle, Sling Shot, Spray Paint Cans, Salt Pouch, Smoke Bomb, Voodoo Doll, Smudge Sticks
Game mechanics: Expanded survivor objectives, Exhaustion Rework, Spiderwebs

I like this idea a lot!

If you want to be insibile during chase, just play Claudette, honestly.

this is a one time use item, that can be used to protect a fellow (maybe hard tunneled) survivor. It’s not about being a Blendette at all..

Also added an image (based on the Alien: Isolation item) and added the idea to make this similar to the Flashbang item (perk related, not able to take out)

Incorporate into Voodoo Doll as an Addon

That would be cool

Looks like some variation of this is getting tested in this years Haunted by Daylight event.
For the Event, the crystal is thematically fitting i guess. But if this is in fact an item that may get kntroduced as a normal/perk item then i think a smoke bomb would fit better

Little did we know that all maps going forward would mostly be brightly lit, and a bug would occur that removes all the fog.
