Freddy's "new" Black Box : rework it please.

Iridescent addons are meant to add a new play style mechanic to each killer.

the new Black box does not represent the theme of the other killers iridescent addons.

they need to rework Black box to make it remove & replace Freddy's GEN TP for his OG Map-wide aura reading of sleeping survivors outside his TR.

Now the biggest reason this was removed was at the time people could see and have their auras seen while in lockers, and no perks at that time (out-side of sole survivor) to block or effect aura reading had been made.


I firmly believe changing Black Box in this way will have the desired impact of other Addons in the Iridescent family.

    Yes, Black Box needs a change, but I don't think this is a very good idea. His mobility is what makes him truly strong, not to mention the buff that Old Freddy required, and replacing it with an aura-reading is not enough, especially considering how easy it is to wake up.

    I love the idea of bringing Old Freddy back, or at least some of his kit, but I am not sure if an ultra rare add-on is the right way to do it. Honestly, I would do the opposite: revert his rework and turn an aspect of his current power into an add-on.

    I’d change it so it makes alarm clocks not have sleep immunity anymore

    A current trend in re-worked perks has been to make an add-on simulate a specific killer perk (Bubba got a "Drop items when hit with chainsaw" as an example.) They made Black Box low calorie blood warden. Also, when all gens are done it negates Freddy's mobility. I think this is a nice trade off for that power loss.

    The biggest issue with the "perks into addons" statement is in bubba's case thats a GREEN addon not Ultra Rare

    even with THE BLIGHT is still just a RARE not Ultra Rare.

    and as my OP has mentioned, the Whole Theme for IRI (Ulrta Rare) addons

    is to "add a new play style mechanic to each killer."


    which the BLACK BOX does not.
