Deathslinger is boring af

Hello everybody,


Here I was hoping to propose some deathslinger additions to make him more complex than just 'shoot survivors at range and (optionally) pull them toward you'.


  1. Minecarts
  2. Grapple Hook
  3. Hunting Dogs

Minecarts could be interesting on Deathslinger for movement. It would simply add rails across the map which the deathslinger can ride (with a minecart strapped to his back or something so it makes sense), while survivors can grab a minecart from a chest or cart storage nearby (as an item, like the sprays from Nemesis/Wesker), maybe toss your item in the cart after placing it on the rails, and then go zooming!

Deathslinger could be really interesting if he could use his spear-gun like a grapple hook, where he could pull himself to anything he hits with his spear-gun (with a pretty long cooldown probably, where he has to fix his grapple hook real quick or something to act as the cooldown, which would take longer than his normal reload) OR Deathslinger could pull the person he hits toward him like usual.

Bro, hunting dogs would be so cool for Deathslinger! He would simply send out his 2 dogs, similarly to the knight, and they would reveal people for Deathslinger, similarly to the doctor's screams. It would be possible for the dogs to follow people, or even injure survivors like Victor, but I personally think the dogs being sent out to a location and revealing survivors in an area around them, or patrolling an area, would be the most fun to use and to play against. Additionally, the dogs would have to run to and from the location they're sent, which would take a few seconds (not long though, cuz that would make this feature awful). If the dogs did have to run to and from their destination every so often, perhaps Deathslinger could have the option to pull up a floor plan of the current map (multiple pages you can click through if the whole map has multiple stories) 📌OR instead just click on the ground where he wants them to head📌and then he'd drag his mouse along the path he wants them to patrol or choose random paths like the Knight's minions. They would patrol back and forth until Deathslinger recalls them one by one.


THanks for reading and I hope you guys have ideas as well for making deathslinger slightly more interesting! Fight on gentlepeople!

    Deathslinger is literally fine, if you can use his Redeemer correctly and efficiently you're going to stomp on matches no matter what. It's similar to Huntress, but the catch is the Deathslinger has a range. From the way you're describing this, you sound like BHVR when they add a new killer to the game now with all these other abilities and features they have. The only thing maybe he will need is that movement speed buff or terror radius reduction. Other than that he's good.

    While those are some fun ideas, I really don't think Slinger needs more to his kit. He has a fine, balanced ability that's fun and requires skill.
