Huntress' ultra rare add-on rework idea - Soldier's Puttee

The Soldier's Puttee add-on sucks


Why Soldier's Puttee sucks:

  • It encourages new and existing players to not reload and use her M1 instead. Issentially becoming a M1 killer
  • It gives no benefit when using your power. What's the point of playing Huntress then???

Rework idea: (I have changed the desc. and name of the add-on. This is not neccessery, I just thought it would fit)

Combat Book

A stolen book from a dead soldier

It contains pictures how to fight with various weapons

  • When throwing a hatchet very close to a survivor. The Huntress slashes instead
  • A slashing hatchet does not get consumed
  • When The Huntress has slashed - you keep charging the hatchet

This would be very unique like a Ultra Rare should be and it would improve a big thing about Huntress - Melee hatchets. It would make combos MUCH more deadlier. When you have slashed and enter the standard 2s cool-down that can be decreased by add-ons. You would keep holding it and be able to throw it right after or just cancel it.

Thoughts?

    I'm still confused why Soldier's Puttee became an Add-On, it should be base-kit IMO.

    I know Ultra Rare Add-Ons is supposed to slightly change how a killer's power works. But that's just confusing.

    I think you've got a great idea here. Soldier's Puttee has a similar issue with one of Clown's iri add-ons, Tattoo's Middle Finger. Both are brown/yellow add-on material.

    I would change it to this, however:

    • You carry hatchets in your left hand.
    • While charging up a hatchet, your ability to perform a basic attack remains.
    • After performing a basic attack, the hatchet remains charged up, and can be used immediately after the attack cooldown.

    By running this add-on, you suffer from the downside of having to rely on throwing hatchets from the left side of the screen. It might feel the same, but who knows?

    Oh and also it'd be nice to have the add-on stack with STBFL.

    I liker this idea. Seems like a good game-changing add-on which is perfect as an Ultra Rare
