Slugging Idea - Hope Springs

I was thinking about the possible upcoming basekit unbreakable we saw a few PTBs back. While being slugged on the ground for 4 minutes is terrible and needs to be fixed, I think basekit unbreakable without a condition is a bit too much so I had this idea I wanna share with everyone.

Hope Springs: When you are knocked down, in the center of most tiles are visible pools of light, (similar to those map tracking markers no one uses). A survivor can crawl to these spots and it makes it where they can get themselves up. Survivors can only see them when downed and they emit a noise so you know one is near. They would be located in the center of most main tiles so they are rarely super far away from one to make it fair. These pools essentially fill in that last bit of "Find help" that currently exists.

This would make the gameplay a bit more interactive and interesting for both sides I feel. It keeps killers on their toes since there is no longer a hard coded timer. They just know they survivor can get up "eventually". For survivors they know they can get up and it encourages the use of perks like tenacity to get you to a pool faster.

It also works lore-wise. Since the entity feeds off hope, it created these to give the survivors "hope" they can get up.

    I just would like to bring unbreakable as a basekit when there's only two survivors, you killers can't slug one to look for the other one because is boring stay in the ground for a while just because killers want their 4K

    Just allow survivors to bleed out early (after 45 seconds?) if one is downed and there's only one other survivor left to force the hatch to spawn.

    Killers dragging out the game to slug for the 4k needs to be addressed but any form of full self-recovery without the use of a perk should never exist. This puts a hard limit on how long they can search for the fourth survivor and brings the game to a close much quicker.

    This is just base kit unbreakable with extra steps.

    Hmmm, I'd say slowly crawling to the light would be just as boring to a lot of people. Even to those who wouldn't mind, I just see this as being a cool way to play around slugging.
