Skull Merchant Adjusts

One of the aggravations of Skull Merchant is a survivor will remove a drone, get claw trapped, SM appears, immediately replaces the drone that was removed, kicks the gen. This may be the core of her frustrating gameplay. Even with fewer drones, it’s not enough of a downside for the drone being hacked.

The adjustment being suggested is that when a drone is hacked that it does not disappear with the claw trap placement. That instead, the drone remains in the same spot in a disabled/destroyed state.

The penalty to Skull Merchant is she cannot place a new drone in its place. It will operate with the same rules as placing active drones in regards to distance between each. To get it back sooner into her inventory and replace a broken drone she will need to remove the claw trap from the survivor per normal game rules (downing, pallet vault, or time).

I believe this to be a significant but simple nerf.

Let me know your thoughts. Could survivors use this new adjustment to her kit to keep trials competitive?
