Hillbilly: Set different buttons to rev the saw and to release the attack.

One of the huge problems with Hillbilly is the fact that you have to watch the power bar instead of the target when lining up a chainsaw.

the buttons to rev the chainsaw up and to release the attack should be separate, like the Demogorgon’s shred.

as long as there’s an overheat mechanic to prevent constant feathering and camping, let the controls be smooth at least.

    You don't have to actively watch the power bar, you can see it with your periferal vision while focusing on the survivor

    The bar is literally 5-8 pixels wide on my large HD screen and is made of borderline non-contrasting colors.

    I have never been able to keep track of both target and power bar at the same time. Every guide says to stare at the bar and try to watch the target out of your periphery, which is beyond absurd. What reasonable mechanic requires you to not look at your target?

    It puts a very high skill ceiling on a mechanic that doesn’t need a high skill ceiling. This wouldn’t change anything about Billy’s power level, it would just mean you don’t have to jump through hoops to do basic actions.
