The Legion's purple "Filthy Blade" add-on is effectively the same as the yellow "Defaced Smiley Pin"

Filthy Blade - Increased time required to mend by 4 seconds.

Defaced Smiley Pin - Inflicts "Mangled" on a survivor who self-mends after being hit by Feral Frenzy. This increases healing time by 25%, or 4 seconds.


This isn't a big deal, just something I noticed that I think the balance team didn't. Both add-ons on paper waste 4 seconds of the survivor's time, but Filthy Blade is a guaranteed time waster while Defaced Smiley Pin only wastes it if they heal.

Though it's worth noting if they self-heal, Defaced Smiley Pin actually wasted more time due to the self-heal time being 24 or 32 seconds rather than 16.


Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    It’s not unusual for a purple or green add-on to be a direct upgrade of a yellow one, particularly when the two add-ons can stack together. In fact one of my favorite things to do is intentionally combine two add-ons that have the same stackable effect to see what happens when you get double the benefit. 🙂
