Hilarious New Survivor Item Idea
Hello BHVR! You guys recently mentioned in your Reddit AMA that you're currently talking about potential new survivor items. It's been a while since I suggested this hilarious new survivor item idea so here's hoping it gets on your radar!
Rusty Old Shotgun:
Has 2 shots. Can be shot to stun the killer (and get a save if the killer is carrying another survivor) with a range approximately equivalent to a flashlight (but from any direction). Each shot has a 50% chance of backfiring and damaging the survivor firing it for 1 heath state instead of stunning the killer. Additionally when the shotgun backfires, the survivor's audio gets deafened like with the Hag's Disfigured Ear add-on.
It would be interesting to see survivors make high-risk, high-reward decisions that would come with this item (especially if they're injured and have to decide whether they want to risk the save attempt). It would be especially hilarious if a healthy survivor uses and fails both shots while the killer is carrying someone to a hook. Easy down. The best use would probably be if you're injured in a dead zone and are about to go down anyway. Might just save your life (or make you do a backflip in the killer's face haha).
By the way, I'm a killer main and I'd be completely fine with this item in the game. With the risks involved, I don't think it's problematic, just a very funny coin flip.
