Is Pig's Add-on arsenal gonna be the big one of this update?

Pig players: How useless are her Add-ons currently?

    her addons are mixed they suck cause only the common and uncommon addons are good but Tampered timer, crate of gears and jigsaw sketch were straight up broken. Luckily Jigsaw sketch was nerfed it was just announced 1 down 2 to go

    And yet they haven't showed tampered timer I'm really curious if the add on was even changed

    Currently Pig has 4 good addons...Combat Straps/Video Tape and Tampered Timer/Crate of Gears. The rest of her addons range from meh to bad imo.

    I don't think any of them are broken. If a Pig wants to tunnel you until your trap pops, it doesn't matter what add ons she has. If she doesn't, you'll most likely have enough time to reach all the boxes if you don't get greedy doing other objectives. I don't think we need more Pig nerfs. I already very rarely see her in my survivor games and it makes me sad.

    I'm assuming Amanda's Letter was changed,because if you pair it with the new Video Tape,everyone has a trap on their head and there's only 2 boxes.If you just camp one of them you're guarateed head pops unless RNG truly hates you.

  • I doubt they are showing the nerfed add-ons they aren't exciting like showing ones that are buffed.

    Well currently her only add ons that stand as being really good are all of her Purple rarity add ons. Her rare add on that grants the exhaustion status effect to survivors that have a reverse bear trap on their head is pretty good too. However both her ultra rare add ons and everything else aren’t that great imo. They really should remove the negative effects on Amanda’s Letter as it’s basically just Wraith’s All Seeing add on but with heavy drawbacks.

    Doesn't Amanda's Letter reduce her traps to only one? I assume if you pair with Video Tape you'll only have a single survivor with a trap.

    Would be better if it worked this way but we don't know how it interacts right now,we're not even sure if it uses the traps from your inventory.

    They are currently pretty bad. I'm loving all the changes I've seen.

    My only problem is with some of the addons descriptions, the effect of the addon here is just completely unrelated to the description above, ah yes lubricating the parts of a jigsaw box increases ambush power?

  • Also i just wanted to say these are not leaks they are being teased on the official twitter. Just wanted to say that since leaks aren't allowed to be discussed

    Seeing actual numbers makes my head spin (jk ofc) considerabely, BHVR I need my word values back tremendously quickly.

  • Yeah i thought that was very strange. Maybe it's referring to the blade mechanism?

  • Satelit

    I think the actual answer is that they can't change the description and name without approval from the license holders.

    Aren't we not supposed to discuss leaks? ;P

    She's my main, so to the second question:

    • S: Slow-release Toxin, Face Mask
    • A: Rule Set No. 2, Jigsaw's Sketch, Tampered Timer, Last Will
    • B: Amanda's Letter, Amanda's Secret, Crate of Gears, Rusty Attachments, Combat Straps
    • C: Bag of Gears, Jigsaw's Annotated Plan, Razor Wires, Video Tape, Shattered Syringe
    • D: Interlocking Razor, Utility Blades, John's Medical File, Workshop Grease

    Note: while head poppage is fun, it's ultimately a detriment to emblems and overall score in typical play, as is the focus on add-ons which only apply to the behatted unfortunates who are then ripe for the campers and tunnellers who've been uninitiated into actually effective play.

    Nearly all of Amanda's add-ons require a specific build to function, while a lot of other killers are more 'mix and match' - some of these builds are to overcome the detriments to Pig's options, some are to shore up places where her basekit is lacking.

    S-tier is Exhaustion and Blindness simply because those are the best status effects in the game behind Oblivious. Denying loops and information is important, even if it's temporary - as all things should be considered with a Pig, as things stand.

    A-tier is, again, about information denial with Rule Set, but the other three are about making those headsets more urgent and potentially time-consuming.

    B-tier includes things which drastically alter playstyle or simply offer a little more slow than normal, plus Combat Straps which I'd put in S-tier except for the fact that it really ought to be a basekit change - it's a detriment to have something so integral to QoL take up an all-important slot for a killer that requires full builds to function in higher tiers of play.

    C and D-tiers underperform, have drawbacks beyond their in-practice value, or are just worse versions of better add-ons.

    "Pig players: How useless are her Add-ons currently?"

    Jigsaw has a few very good addons that have inmense synergy between them and then she has a lot of rubbish that have 0 effect or are even detrimental, examples of these are the skillcheck in boxes (missing them is super rare as decent player and great do speed up the search), Amanda's Secret is literally useless, cant think of any time Ive used it and has served any purpose, the status ones are also rather meh except the Exhausted one, both Iridiscent are bad, Rules Set makes Survivors focus on gens and Amanda's Letter is just for hook camping and if you are going for that may aswell play Leatherface with Insidious.

    This is my opinion... Feel free to tell me what you think of it

    Some of her addons are counter-intuitive:

    Face Mask... Unless it's apart of an entire build (Knock Out, The Third Seal)

    Rusty Attachments... Only affects injured survivors until fully healed

    The Toxin one (I can't remember the name)... Exhausted till the survivor get the Trap off

    Some of her addons are useless:

    Workshop Grease... increases skillcheck trigger odds

    Razor Wire... increases skillcheck trigger odds

    Interlocking Razors... increases penalty for missing skillcheck

    Some of her addons are good... If not great

    Last will... Gives player another Trap (for 5 total)

    Video Tape... Decreases cooldown of missed dash attacks and something that I am currently forgetting

    Combat Straps... Makes crouching faster

    Tempered Timer... Shortens death timer on all active Traps

    Crate of Gears/ Bag of Gears...Faster putting on a Trap and takes longer to search the boxes

    Now I don't play with the others (Cause I don't have a lot of them or I don't see the benefit of using them) so I won't be putting those on here

    "How useless are her Add-ons currently?"

    Good add-ons:

    John's Medical File

    Combat Straps

    Video Tape

    Last Will

    Jigsaw's Annotated Plan

    Jigsaw's Sketch

    Crate of Gears


    Not Good Add-Ons:

    Rusty Attachments

    Tampered Timer (if it doesn't kill, it does actual nothing; it's both weak and unhealthy design)

    Rules Set No. 2

    Amanda's Letter

    Bag of Gears


    Trash add-ons:

    Workshop Grease

    Broken Syringe

    Razor Wire

    Face Mask

    Utility Blades

    Interlocking Razor

    Slow-Release Toxin

    Amanda's Secret


    In conclusion, quite useless.
