Killers who desperately need some better add-ons

Nemesis: zombie FOV add-ons? zombies light up if they hit a survivor? killer instinct duration when survivors get vaccinated? come on now, these are completely useless. half of nemesis' add-ons are utterly unusable, and if you don't have any mutation rate or zombie speed add-ons, you may as well not bring any.


P-head: our divine avatar of punishment only has a few add-ons worth bringing. there are the 3 range add-ons, obviously. the two that increase the duration of trails on the ground are also quite good, but worse than the range ones. out of his purple and reds, only one of them is worth using, the one where trails inflict blindness. the rest, like nemesis, are completely useless.


I don't own every killer, so feel free to chime in with your own complaints if you know a killer with awful add-ons.

    Spirit’s Senko Hanabi Add-on:


    Either increase the distance so that it can block more windows ( when the husk disappears and make it actually EXPLODE! )

    or increase the duration the windows stay blocked for.

    or both aforementioned changes made into one.

    or better yet! make it so that it only blocks the side of a DROPPED pallet where the HUSK disappears from.


    Spirit’s Mother glasses add-on:


    Either incorporate what it does into the Wakizashi Saya add-on OR rework it into an add-on that removes the Spirit’s vaulting animation. ( the vaulting animation from before the first nerf Spirit got. )



    Spirit’s Dried cherry blossom add-on:

    -passive phasing can now be manually initiated with a cool-down of ( X number ).

    -Default passive phasing is no longer existent.

    Freddy needs basically all of his addons updated, the majority of them are just so bad.

    Pyramid Head has the worst addons of any killer in the game. The only ones with any use are the shockwave range ones, and those just train you to misunderstand how far that goes. Everything purple and Iridescent has actually zero in-game benefit, while everything green and lower is both pathetically uninspired AND so miniscule that it is totally imperceptible.

    His whole kit needs to be trashed and re-made from the bottom up.

    But they never will. Because he's ALSO the most over-hyped yet mysteriously under-played killer on the roster. If you're great at the game, playing Nurse, Blight, or even Twins does way more for you than PH ever could. And if you're not great at the game, the shockwave is so limited and the torment trials so unwieldy that controlling him feels like you're trying to steer a wobbly wheelbarrow. But everyone who DOESN'T play him loves to cluck their tongues and complain how unbelievably powerful his cages are just because they prevent two survivor perks for survivors too lazy to avoid the easily avoidable trails.

    Most killers need new addons, I feel like the devs dont actually think outside the box or what could actually be useful.

    I always feel alot of killers, even the new ones lack a depth to them and feel like they was just the quick thoughts and just went with them.

    Addons should "add" something to the killers, theres so much potential to be had with any killer and I could easily come up with interesting addons for any killer

    Freddy, Ghostface, PH, Legion, and now Twins are the worst IMO.

    Freddy, Pyramid Head, Nemesis, Twins, Ghostface all need addon passes. Probably one or two more I’m forgetting.

    I'm a p-head main, and the trails aren't really that hard to control because you're usually drawing them at pallets, loops, and windows. I also think the trail duration add ons are underrated, but yes all others besides range are useless

    All of the Killer's need their Addons changed

    Nurse- Why have an addon that make the range shorter but increases the BP for getting a hit with it... Also having addons that make her move instantly... Having one addon that Changes the time limit between the first and second blink

    Wraith- Why have an addon that tracks Gens... have only two bell sound altering addons... have an addon that takes him out of Clock to kick anything

    Hillbilly- Need I say more

    Huntress- Having an addon tell you where lockers are is too much (IMO)... Having an addon increase movement speed when out of hatchets is moot

    Pig- Having an addon that does the work for you is bad (putting the Trap on in the first place)... Not having more movement speed addons when crouched is (Bad Phrase)... Having addons for the boxes is (Bad Phrase) I.E. Missed skillchecks...

    Bubba- Honestly IDK what to do with him... I don't play him all that much

    Freddie- Same as Bubba

    Mickey- I'll be honest here... I like the wide array of addons for Mickey (but some of them do need a change)

    Spirit- Having an addon that affects windows is (Bad Phrase)... having to get stunned to get her power back is (Bad Phrase)

    Hag- Same as Mickey

    Doctor- Same as Mickey (but some of them need to be looked at)

    Ghostface- I can't say much about his addons... I don't play him enough (also using all of his addons)

    Plague- Same as Ghostface

    Trapper- Same as Bubba

    Nemesis- Don't have that much experience playing as him so.... yea

    Pinhead- Same as Nemesis

    Artist- I don't have an addon that fits what I like to do... maybe I'm not looking hard enough or actually have a playstyle with her... but I digress

    Oni- Same as Artist

    Trickster- I don't use all of the addons available

    Demogorgon- Same as Trickster

    Clown- Same as Trickster

    Blight- Same as Artist

    Legion- Same as Mickey

    I feel duration is the more important attribute to Senko Hanabi. I think it should be buffed to 10 seconds.

    Also seeing Mother’s Glasses’ feature in Wakizashi Saya is not a bad idea.

    I almost forgot Freddy had add-ons.

    Nurse clearly needs more add-ons that add blink charges

    Honestly like most killers released since Twins. Twins was the start of the whole "all your addons are gonna be ######### except for this tree of addons and this one random ass yellow or brown" seriously like do you think any killer since Blight has had like a majority of their addons be viable and/or fun. Also a lot of reworks have nuked addons into the ground *cough cough* Billy *cough cough*

    Huntress having a movespeed addon for running out of hatchets was something ppl wanted as basekit.

    It really feels like a brown training wheel addon instead of a gamechanging Iri.

    Go figure

    I wanted base Gen Regression to go up... but that was turned into a perk instead

    Plus we wanted to go faster then 4.6 (but that wouldn't have been done)
