The Hillbilly: Changes to Add-Ons and Power

sabinianmoonstone

In wake up the recent news, our beloved chainsaw wielding maniac is getting his overheat addressed. Hopefully, the devs will fully remove the dreaded mechanic and restore Billy close to his former glory.

Now, in case that that they DO hopefully remove it, I wanted to repost my add-on changes for Billy in case it does get fully removed.

Add-on Changes

Junkyard Air Filter

This add-on increases the overheat limit of the Chainsaw by +20 charges. 

Change: Reduces the cooldown on both missed and successful Chainsaw hits by 0.3 seconds.

Punctured Muffler

This add-on increases the cooling speed of the Chainsaw by +50%.

Change: During a Chainsaw Sprint, pallet stun durations are reduced by -50%.

*Doesn’t stack with Enduring.*

Off-Brand Motor Oil

This add-on reduces the range within which Chainsaw noises can be heard by 30%.

Change: Reduces the cooldown on both missed and successful Chainsaw hits by 0.5 seconds.

Big Buckle

This add-on reduces the terror radius by -8 meters while overheated.

Change: Reduces the terror radius by -8 meters while revving and during a Chainsaw Sprint.

Black Grease

This add-on increases the charge speed of the Chainsaw by +18% for 30 seconds after being blinded.

Change: During a Chainsaw Sprint, trigger a difficult skill check for survivors who are repairing or healing within 16 meters of your position. Does not trigger in range of survivors at the start of a Chainsaw Sprint.

Mother’s Helpers

This add-on increases the charge speed of the Chainsaw by +18 for 30 seconds after being stunned by a pallet. 

Change: During a Chainsaw Sprint, the progress of generators is determined by the intensity of their aura.

Spiked Boots

This add-on increases the turn speed during the Chainsaw Sprint by +44% and increases the cooldown after hitting an obstacle during a Chainsaw Sprint by +28%.

Change: Simply remove the cooldown after hitting an obstacle. Makes no sense why Drift King Billy should be punished. 

Pighouse Gloves

This add-on increases your action speed when damaging generators and breaking pallets or breakable walls by 20%, and reduces pallet stun duration -50% if and only if the Chainsaw is overheated.

Change: After downing a survivor with the Chainsaw, you are able to continue your Chainsaw Sprint. Survivors hit with the Chainsaw within 5 seconds of downing a survivor are only damaged for one health state.

Tuned Carburetor

This add-on reduces the charge time of the Chainsaw by 25% and reduces the base movement speed to 4.4m/s. 

Change: Reduces the charge time of the Chainsaw by 18% and completely remove the movement speed penalty.

Apex Muffler

This add-on silences the Chainsaw for all survivors outside of the terror radius.

Change: Silences the Chainsaw for all survivors outside of the terror radius. Gain the undetectable status effect until you stop sprinting after maintaining a Chainsaw Sprint for 2 seconds. 

Iridescent Brick

This add-on makes you gain the undetectable status effect until you stop sprinting after maintaining a Chainsaw Sprint for 2 seconds.

Change: Your movement speed during a Chainsaw Sprint is increased by 7% for every second over the course of 5 seconds.

I hope they also give him his old chainsaw animation back so feels smoother again...

Besides that I would give him more than one charge time addon but make them not stack just so you can have a mini crack Billy with lower rarity addons, I don't think his only charge time addon should be of purple rarity, because to give him a consistent buff it should be green, so you can basically use it every game.
