Odd Bulb possible buff
I was leveling up some survivors since I finished leveling my killers when I noticed something: my brain automatically filtered out the Odd Bulb, and never seeing it used I forgot it even existed. So I thought a bit about how it could be made worth of his Ulra Rare status and came up with this:
- Attempts at flashlight saves automatically succeed, regardless of timing
- The addon is consumed after one flashlight save
Basically it would give survivors an easier time getting a flashlight save, but only once per match. Since in my experience killers tend to face walls and double check before picking up a survivor when they know there are flashlights around, I think it would still requre some work from the survivor to make it work.

I don't know, it kind of seems like old DS all over again, especially for SWF.
I mean don't get me wrong, survivors deserve better add-ons, but this might be a bit too OP. Not to mention it wouldn't take as much skill as a normal flashlight save.

Literally most survivor add-ons tend to be almost worthless, they deserve at least something interesting, but not overpowered.

But that's the point, it's an UR it has to do something. The survivor would still need to be near the survivor when they're downed, pray the killer doesn't face a wall, being sneaky, hoping the killer doesn't fake the pickup and being able to fully blind them. The only thing that would change is that they wouldn't need a perfect timing and can start the blind a bit earlier.

Oh no, without a doubt.

I actually like this idea. The guaranteed save is definitely strong without a doubt, but since it kills the flashlight, I think it's a fair trade. Quite interesting for an Ultra-Rare.
The user still has to get the blind in, just without the need of worrying about timing so killers can still counter this by the same counters with a regular flashlight (walls + light born).
