New items, Implementation of Killer items.

New items, Implementation of Killer items. 


I briefly talked about this in the new July 2022 survey monkey.


Topics: 


1. New items for Survivors and the 

implementation of Killers having items.  


New in store purchase for equipment, map offerings and add-ons using Shards as purchase so you can directly buy that purple Flashlight or that Midwich map offering instead of wishing you'll finally get it within the BloodWeb. However yes the BloodWeb is cheaper, this would just give you the ability to receive those you often do not find in the BloodWeb. 


More cosmetics for both players such as Killer and Survivor....Ultra Rare Sets. Personal opinion. 


Now notes and or examples. Current items in the game only for Survivors for Killers have a power ability that takes place of Items. 


Medkits, Flashlights, Keys, Maps and Toolboxes occasionally other blinding devices. 


New items or more items examples: 


Rubber Bumpers for Survivors


Nailed Frames for Killers 


Rubber Bumper explained:


Allows for silent fast vaulting actions through the window or vaulting spot. This can be installed on one vaulting spot per a trial. So this allows a survivor to make a loop or wall area maybe a little more in favor. 


Nailed Frame explained: 


Allows the slowdown/no fast actions going in or out of window or vaulting spot and will not be silent. This can be installed on one window for the duration of the trial. Gives the ability for a killer to weaken an area they feel they might have trouble in the future with. 


New items could effect pallets as well....I'm trying to inspire more environmental effects with items. Just how the Toolboxes can effect hooks. 


New items could also effect pallets.  


Picket Fence Framing a killer item. 


Once Installed on one pallet. When a survivor drops that pallet it can be broken in 1 second less compared to other pallets. This can be Installed only on one pallet per a trial. 


Junk Yard Scraps a survivor item. 


On one pallet per a trial. When a survivor drops this pallet it takes an additional second or 1.5 second and a half for the killer to break. Unless the killer has an automatic break action of course. 


I know the times or effects the new items have can be changed I'm just trying to pitch out other ideas for the public to bounce off of and become inspired to, I just like the thought of new items and possibly creating an item slot for Killers as well. I feel as if this would change the game play up a little. 


Please let me know how you feel about this and the possible effects it could have and what are some new items you would come up with!


Thank you everyone for the time reading this!

    Some items continued

    Treble Meat Hook

    Killer item:

    Faster progress from hook stages or when I survivor goes for the unhook, the unhook action actually acts as if you was to try to unhook yourself just once causing the ability to lose more progress could result in second hook status if you decide to knock out gens, and go for a late unhook of your fellow survivor. This can be installed on one hook, after the survivor is freed from the hook it breaks for 15 seconds. If this hook is not used after 180 seconds the hook breaks automatically and come back normal.


    Weathered Hook

    Survivor item:

    This can be installed on one hook, when the killer tries to do a hook action it breaks the hook causing the survivor not to gain a hook status and can possibly make a quick escape. So the survivor and hook instantly falls down, the hook is broken for 15 seconds. After 180 seconds of not being used it disables and breaks the hook automatically coming back as normal. You have to do a difficult skill check as well to actually install the item, failure doesn't install the hook however does break the hook for 30 seconds.

    Confetti Cannon/Tube

    Survivor item:

    A device that lets out a confetti cloud 3x3 meters so say your in a bush and the killer is patrolling the area, you can yank the string causing the item to detonate. This is new way of visual distraction or blinding, instead of directly blinding like a flash light this obscures the vision more.

    All just examples and also subjective to change. Just inspiring ideas for others to voice off of!
