A cross killer addon for a Fake Generator

I've been thinking about a cross killer addon (like Blight Serum), which would create a fake 8th generator on the map. Survivors can repair it and killer can damage it. Also killer sees a different aura for the fake gen.

Repair and damage actions give usual BP.

Once the fake generator is fully repaired, it would disappear from the map and won't decrement the remaining gens count.

What do you thing about this?

    Idea: Secret Offering that traps a generator, once it gets touched it explodes, removing it from the match and setting any nearby survivors on fire!

    I meant addon, and I like the idea about secret offering too. Or both! ;)

    As an offering, I would rather pick this than, let's say "Cut Coin" or "Shroud of Separation", which hurt the killer

    Along fake hooks that every time the killer hook a survivor on it the survivor breaks free without any progression and the killer gets stunned for 10 seconds

    knowing me, I’ll probably repair that gen first every match

    I like offering that give-add-change the map.

    +1 fake Gen is a good idea. Though I think it should work like this:



    Fake Gen offering - Brown

    • Survivors repair 20% will cause it exploded

    (Waste time)


    Fake Gen offering - Yellow

    • Survivors repair 40% will cause it exploded


    Fake Gen offering - Green

    • Survivors repair 60% will cause it exploded


    Fake Gen offering - Purple

    • Survivors repair 80% will cause it exploded


    Fake Gen offering - Red

    • Finished Gen doesnt count toward the Gen done

    (Equal to a normal Gen)

    I'd prefer to see this be an Offering, we need some new ones anyways.

    Like the idea either way!

    It would be awful like this. If you are going to add a trap for players it needs to be either foreseeable or preventable. Imagine as a killer there were hooks where if you tried to hook the survivor, they would just escape your grasp. Does that sound like a fair or fun thing? All your work gone just because someone used an offering and you couldn't do anything about it. Maybe instead make that addon/secret offering choose 1 generator and reveal progress of it to the killer through aura intensity throughout the match, or give a noise notification when someone goes on it.

    I actually thought of this idea like 2yrs ago but as a perk.

    A fake gen would spawn on the map and the killer would be able to see the fake gen with a white aura.

    If survivors repair that gen first they actually don't get any progress on completing a gen, there would still be 5 gens left.

    If survivors work on a real gen completing it and than work and complete the fake gen, the real gen they completed will turn back off but will be at 50% progress.

    That seems really strong but what we need right now is a shake up in the meta.

    I once proposed the same idea and also a fake gate. but someone told me that it was bad idea because it´s increse the game time and it coul be not fun rapair and see that the motor is fake but with the current situation of the genrush I don't see a problem, it would be a good way to punish the genrush.

    Although as a survivor who plays alone I can tell you that with 5 engines is very difficult I guess it's only a good idea when you play against discord teams, but against survivors who play alone if it's too much disadvantage.
