Concept for new killer/survivor combo.

Just an idea I had, figured I’d share. It’d definitely require copyrights.

I thought it would be cool to bring aboard “The Thing” as a killer. With good ol RJ MacReady as the survivor counterpart.

didn’t really run through perk ideas yet. But killer power being something along the lines of being able to mimic any survivor currently playing in the map. (Either after landing a hit on the survivor to be mimicked, or just having the ability right from start.) could make the power select from the survivors according to what other survivors are the closest to killer position. For example Claudette and bill are working on a gen together, the thing walks up while power is active and takes the form of the Dwight who is across the map. Although to keep it fair, killer can’t strike from mimic form? But can build bloodlust? Or some other buff (maybe killer perk related) by blending in successfully. Can even fake repair gens with survivors. Revealing true form similar to the wraiths time delay of using the bell to cloak/uncloak. Add the artic base map for a nice little add in, plenty of opportunity to add tons of new cosmetics for each character to blend into snowy environments. (This does pose the problem of cost because if people didn’t buy the DLC, they may still end up playing on Arctic map without having the skins to have a chance at blending into the environment.) so maybe if this by some miracle comes to fruition, the powers that be find it in their hearts to make the Arctic skins free for every character you have unlocked, or unlock later on? 😁

I’m still playing with the idea and working on perk ideas for fun. I just thought that the blending in with the survivors could bring a whole new psychological aspect to the game. Planting little lovely seeds of distrust amongst the whole team of survivors.

also, a perk idea I’m working on for the thing is to deter those pesky SWF groups killer players run in to oh so often and despise so much. But without making survival 100% impossible.

example, SWF all in voice communications Claudette player could simply say “hey Bill where are you currently, bill says oh I’m opening a chest near killer shack.”

but there’s another bill (the thing), faking gen repair alongside (although the gen repair boost could still be added to help hide the thing? Or maybe that’s just how you can deduce it’s not a real survivor) the Claudette runs like hell, the thing reveals itself and takes off in pursuit. Loses Claudette and has to go break line of sight to take new survivor form and try again. This sounds toxic and very aggravating, so I’m trying to come up with a perk to deter this or to give the thing an edge against SWF. Will post further info once I’ve come up with it if anyone finds the idea intriguing.
