Improving Hillbilly's addons
I have been playing Hillbilly recently and I thought about how I could change some of his addons to improve them so I did some research and here are the results:
Death Engravings: Slightly increases Chainsaw Sprint Movement speed. (Increases speed from 9.2 m/s to 10.2 m/s. Extra charge time removed but movement speed buff slightly nerfed)
Doom Engravings: Moderately increases Chainsaw Sprint Movement speed. (Increases speed from 9.2 m/s to 10.7 m/s. Extra charge time removed but movement speed buff slightly nerfed)
Mother's Helpers: Slightly reduces Chainsaw Charge time. Moderately reduces Chainsaw overheat limit. (Reduced charge time to 2.25 s from 2.50 s but the chainsaw's maximum charges are reduced from 100 to 70)
Big Buckle: Increases The Hillbilly's base movement speed to 5.3 m/s while the chainsaw is on cooldown (Changed -8 metre terror radius to 15% increased movement speed. Rarity changed to ultra rare)
Leafy Mash: Moderately increases Chainsaw overheat limit. (The chainsaw's maximum charges are increased from 100 to 130. Changed from Gain the Undetectable Status Effect for 15 seconds after landing a Chainsaw hit.)
Black Grease: Tremendously accelerates Chainsaw Cooling rate. Tremendously increases Recovery time after hitting an object with the Chainsaw. (The chainsaw's rate of cooling is increased from 6.5 c/s to 12.5 c/s but the recovery time after hitting an object with the chainsaw is increased from 3 s to 3.82 s. Changed from Moderately accelerates Chainsaw Cooling rate when a Flashlight is shining on you. Rarity changed to very rare)
Tuned Carburettor: Moderately reduces Chainsaw Charge time. Tremendously reduces Chainsaw overheat limit (Reduced charge time to 2 s from 2.50 s but the chainsaw's maximum charges are reduced from 100 to 50)
Apex Muffler: The Chainsaw is silent for the duration of the trial. Considerably reduces Chainsaw Sprint Movement speed. (Changed from The Chainsaw is silent for survivors outside of the Terror Radius to the duration of the trial but movement speed while sprinting with the chainsaw is decreased from 9.2 m/s to 7.2 m/s)
The idea here was to make better addons that work well with each other, for example:
Tuned Carburettor + Leafy Mash
Without the Leafy Mash, the Tuned Carburettor reduces your chainsaw charges to 50, which is very significant. With both these addons you now have 80 charges in the chainsaw and a -0.5 s charge time, making it very deadly in close quarters
Apex Muffler + Doom Engravings
Without the Doom Engravings, the Apex Muffler reduces the chainsaw sprint speed to 7.2 m/s but with the Doom Engravings the chainsaw now moves at 8.7 m/s while always being silent, this gives you the element of surprise without losing too much mobility.
Or addons that work well by themselves or with existing addons, for example:
Black Grease + Low Kickback Chains
If you reach the max capacity of the chainsaw's charges , without other specific addons , you will have to suffer through a 20 second period during which you cannot use your chainsaw. With Black Grease that time is reduced tremendously from 20 seconds to 8 seconds but the recovery time from hitting objects with the chainsaw is increased to 3.82 seconds from 3. Paired with the Low Kickback Chains (an existing addon), your charges recover tremendously quickly and your recovery time for hitting objects is 3.16 seconds.
Big Buckle
This addon is now very strong by itself. If you do reach your maximum charges,your movement speed is increased to the equivalent of 3 play with your food stacks. This means that while your chainsaw is gone you have (at base) 20 seconds of 15% increased movement speed. This helps end chases very quickly and counters every strong loop.
What do ya think?

Debs already reworked him. They won't tounch his addons again unless one or a combo proves to be too strong.
Note, not if an addon proves to be too weak.

I know. I'm not saying that they will or should rework them but this is how I would rework some of them if it was up to me to improve them.

Well what do think of my changes to some of those addons?

So give him instasaw again

Well if you want intasaw, you'll only have 20 charges in your chainsaw so It's not really viable. I spent ages on this mate so at least bother to read it properly.
