What will they do if they add Jason Voorhees?

Will you make him as brutal as he is in the movies or other video games? Will he have more moris than other killers? I would imagine his ability is walking through pallets and walls while breaking them with his sheer strength.

    Imo its hard to include Jason at this point and keep him entirely fresh as lots of things you could do with him have been done by other killers - particularly trapper who afaik is inspired by jason.

    The Friday the 13th game Gun Media made pretty much has a range of abilities BHVR could repurpose as perks. I don't know if they would be able to do that though and other killers have perks which are similar.


    Stalk to increase rage (more effective instant attacks) - The Shape and Ghostface both have thus.


    Morph - travel a short distance to head off campers - The Onryo already has this.


    set traps for campers - trapper and Hag have similar perks.

    Teleport round the map - well loads of killers have this and we don't need another.

    Throwing knives: The trickster has this.

    The only one left is sense: this let's Jason see highlighted buildings when someone is making a conspicuous action in them. I guess this could work by Jason getting an indicators of a general area where Survivors are running/repairing etc in the vein of a heat pulse that covers a large area.


    ....

    To keep it inspired by common themes of the movies but try and be fresh I'd go with something along the lines of...

    'Mother's Guidance' -

    Wherever Jason goes, Pamela is never far behind to help her son.

    You start the trial with three tokens. Recieve an audio notification frok Pamela when within 25/20/15 of a hiding survivor. Or when surviors are in the Shack/main building. Consumes a token on use.

    'Crystal Clear' -

    Spending years in the shadows of Camp Crystal Lake has taught you a thing or two about getting around quickly and quietly to hunt your victims. Select 3/4/5 locations around the map and cycle through them appearing to any nearby survivors momentarily. Any survivors within 5/10/15 metres of Jason when he appears will scream and reveal their location.

    The perk deactivates if Jason chooses to leave his teleport spot to enter chase and has a cool down of 60 seconds.


    'Lights out' -

    years of hunting campers has taught you how effective darkness can be at hindering and confusing an increasingly confident foe.

    When there are 4 or less fully repaired generators, Gain the ability to damage one fully repaired generator. Damaging the generator will stop the generator from powering the doors and generate a special tool box survivors will need to find and collect (similar to Pinhead's box) to repair the broken generator from 90/85/80% to 100%.

    This perk does not stack with other regression or slowdown perks.

    The perk deactivates for the remainder of the trial when used.
