Deathslinger - add-ons
Just some suggestions or ideas to make addons more interesting
• Spit Polish Rag: ok
• Snake Oil: Increases the Movement speed of The Deathslinger while Aiming Down Sights by +5 (or 4%)
• Rickety Chain (steady chain -> new name): Increases the time required for Survivors to break free from The Redeemer by 5%
• Modified Ammo Belt: ok
• Rusted Spike: Survivors hit with The Redeemer or breaking free from The Redeemer suffer from the mangled status effect until healed
• Poison Oak Leaves: Increases Mending time by 3s
• Marshal's Badge: Decrease Terror Radius by 6m while The Redeemer is empty
• Jaw Smasher: Increases the speed of the Harpoon Projectile by +15% (I had no idea on this add-on)
• Chewing Tobacco: ok
• Warden's Keys: ok
• Wanted Poster: Each time you reload The Redeemer, the auras of survivors within 12 meters of Deathslinger are revealed to you for 5 seconds
• Tin Oil Can: ok
• Honey Locust Thorn: Reduces the Stun duration when Survivors break free from The Redeemer by 1s
• Bayshore's Gold Tooth: Survivors hit with The Redeemer or breaking free from The Redeemer suffer from the Oblivious status effect for up to 7 seconds after mending
• Prison Chain: ok
• Gold Creek Whiskey: Each time you reload The Redeemer, grants the Undetectable Status Effect for 10
• Bayshore's Cigar: Hitting a Survivor with a harpoon shoot will reload The Redeemer after 5s
• Barbed Wire: Survivors who mend due to The Redeemer will scream, revealing their location for 4 seconds
• Iridescent Coin: ok
• Hellshire Iron: For as long as a Survivor is speared, the Auras of all other Survivors are revealed. Their auras lingers for 3s after a survivor is no longer spread

If they had an add-on that gave him quickscoping, I would play him again.

My opinion on your suggested changes :
Snake oil : I don't think slinger needs any addon to make him faster when he aims, as the current aiming speed is too fast in my opinion (like, you can walk the entire road of Dead Dawg Saloon while aiming, starting with the survivor next to you, and when you reach the end of the road the survivor is still at max lunge distance. It's pointless to have more speed) .
Rickety Chain : I think it's fine to have a meme addon. I rarely use it but it's fun to make the match a bit more challenging sometimes.
Rusted Spike : very good idea to pair it with the current Honey Locust Thorn effect. I always found it odd that a green rarity addon had a worse effect than its yellow counterpart.
Poison Oak Leaves : why not, the current version is pretty much useless anyway.
Marshal's Badge : I always wanted an addon like this on slinger. I think it's boring and beyond useless to have your terror radius reduced if you aim. Having an addon like this would allow more interesting moves. I'd make it -8m instead of -6m though.
Jaw Smasher : why not, but I'd never play it. It would mess with muscle memory.
Wanted Poster : big no on this one. I would really encourage tunneling, which is far from being a good idea. Perhaps a better effect would be to highlight non-regressing generators. This wouldn't be strong but at least it would be interesting.
Honey Locust Thorn : I would leave this effect to its current addon Bayshore's Cigar. I think it's too strong to be a green.
Bayshore's Gold Tooth : very interesting idea, I love oblivious addons and this would be a good way to implement one on slinger.
Prison Chain : far from being ok, but I don't have any idea to make it good. The current version does pretty much nothing 99.9% of the time.
Gold Creek Whiskey : your idea is a better way to implement an undetectable addon than the current Hellshire Iron, I like it.
Bayshore's Cigar : no, I think it's too strong. It reminds me of Alchemist's Ring on Blight. I think it wouldn't give survivors enough of a grace period once they get injured after being speared. They would need to make distance against an already reloaded gun, while with the current reload speed they still don't make it outside of the speargun range when injured.
Barbed Wire : why not, but I'm not a big fan of this one.
Hellshire Iron : definitively better than the current one and the old one as well.

First, thanks for the feedback.
Snake oil : I couldn't get a better idea for this addon :(
Rickety Chain : I don't think the meme addons are ok. Almost no one uses them and they are a waste of space in the bloodweb. The only one I love is Prayer Tablet Fragment because it adds a play style and doesn't just nerf her power.
Wanted Poster : oh, I hadn't thought of that (I screwed up on that one). New idea- Wanted Poster : Each time you reload The Redeemer, the auras of survivors within 12 meters of Deathslinger are revealed to you for 3 seconds
Honey Locust Thorn : I think it can be green without any problems.
Bayshore's Cigar : I understand, I thought the same thing too. But the combo possibilities made me very interested in this add-on (also the possibility to improve 4v1 of the Deathslinger). New idea - Bayshore's Cigar : Hitting a Survivor with a harpoon shoot will reload The Redeemer after 5s
One question: which other killer would you like to have the addons changed?

Unfortunately, the developers will never do that :(

Wanted Poster sounds way better now. Bayshore's Cigar is still kinda pointless because, well, I would just reload myself.
For the meme addons I think they're ok. Each killer has 20 addons, I don't really think it's a problem to have a single addon dedicated to meme, especially when people generally play the same addons anyway.
And to answer your last question : ghostface and pyramid head. Both have very bad addons and in both cases, two useful addons only.
