Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Not a new idea but a new direction.

Base kit: Ability to transform into the 4 survivors. Paranoia meter when around other survivors(or killer in survivor form) meter increases. causing visual distortions and heavy breathing. At max stacks survivor is exhausted and (other survivors look like killer* changing visual models may be a big ask.) other options may include hallucinations of many survivors around the paranoid. which can mask the shifted killer and is not affected by a swfs callouts. paranoia is lowered when killer is visibly seen in base form or when not around anyone.

When in survivor form real survivors can take a chance to expose killer. if exposed the killer shifts back and is stunned. Survivor paranoia is lowered. if the survivor tries to expose and its not killer then their paranoia is increased by half of the necessary amount to max.

*big counter to the playstyle is if survivors just stay spaced the entire game. Possible solutions could be they must perform an action on someone fully paranoid to bring them back to normal. (other idea is similar to pinheads ability to cage. this killer could have a cage of sorts for those affected by high paranoia or other factor. this leans more into killers lore however. Lore i thought of was "The OutCast" he is born different and deformed. he never had any friends so he made himself to look like other people to fit in but was still shunned. thus he became a killer. he cages them to keep them as his friends while also giving players a reason to group.

m1: while in base form regular lunge attack. in survivor form a timer is built when in radius of a survivor called blending in after 15 seconds you gain ability to 1 shot the survivor. otherwise attack as normal.

m2: while in base form gives option to turn into 1 of the for survivor models (survivor speed is same as survivors). while in survivor shifts back to base


Perk 1 Anxiety - slower gen repair when in radius of another player. scream sound radius or other sound related effects cause a hard skill check.

Perk 2 Blast mine -ability to apply a more powerful explosion to a gen. next person to repair needs to mend and is blinded.

Perk 3: Bestfriend - Survivor you spend the most time with becomes obsession. when your obsession spends a certain amount of time with another survivor you get jealous and the other survivor becomes exposed
