Tricksters and Slingers Ammo Buff!?
Devs give one of the best ranged killer Huntress and a Clown Ammo buffs but give nothing to the two of the worst ranged killers nothing? Trickster with the second lowest killrate and Deathslinger who got nerfed to oblivion and become so unfun to play as.
Give Trickster more knives and slighty nerf his main event
Give Deathslinger faster reload speed and make cigar basekit

trickster got a speed buff and slinger is fine mostly. You can shoot throw most tiny holes in things and pull people around loops. Car loops are almost useless against him. Trickster is in a weird spot i'll agree with that though.

Slinger isn't really fine. The punishment for missing (or even hitting) is way too significant.
When Pyramid Head's ability was made fairer in chase, his cooldowns were reduced, Slinger didn't really get such a thing.
He needs a bigger Survivor collision hitbox (keep the environment one the same), because you have cases when the spear literally phases through Survivors.

I mean that is the entire point of him though, shooting is small risk but gives a pretty big reward for a hit. You'll always put someone from health to deep wounds on a spear hit regardless of if you actually hit them with an attack or snap the chain. His reload speed was reduced a little while ago.

why would they increase survivor collision hitbox for his spear? Deathslinger would become an instant wind-up huntress. At that point, I would prefer the spear projectile speed to be increased to 1400 m/s from 1000 m/s.

Please do not give BHVR any more ideas to buff Trickster, he's already over buffed in my opinion and a much less enjoyable Killer to go up against (not that he was ever fun, at least he still had some counter play for the average Survivor).
Deathslinger could maybe use some small buffs though. Nothing too crazy, maybe just a slightly faster reload speed (I only run the two reload add-ons when I play as him).

Ok but clown desperately needed more bottles

His reload speed was only buffed by like 5%. Trickster and Huntress got their reloads buffed by 25%. He just spends far too much time reloading. Combine that with the fact that he's super easy to prerun from due to his TR and he feels honestly really bad to play. He's been left in the dust while the other two ranged killers have gotten plenty of love.
Because you get far too many cases where the spear just seems to phase through people. Slinger hasn't been instant wind up since 2021.

Deathslinger could use a bit of help. His time management is awful, his chase power works around most loops but to get a hit / down you need a purple addon to help with the chain breaking and he has no map pressure. The Prison Chain could be base kit and he still wouldn't be overly oppressive.

I am saying that deathslinger still has 0.4 wind-up time on his gun. if his spear hitbox was same as huntress hatchets, he would have 0.4 hatchet wind-up vs huntress 0.9+1 second wind-up while being able to shoot through walls with only drawback being 1 shot. The drawback would not matter with double reload add-on's+saved time from not walking to lockers.
The spear going through survivor is latency. The survivor side-stepped the spear because you react to his spear shot at last second from 2021 changes.
I really like how deathslinger has so much room for survivor to outplay him on every turn. there is no shot that survivor cannot outplay but i dislike for how easy this is to do. You cannot zone for free by just holding hatchets which is nice. The issue is that it is too easy to outplay the killer. It should be difficult to outplay the killer. not easy to the point that anyone can do it.

It is odd that they buff the Huntress which did not need it. With that as the status quo they should add buffs to the others. If they felt the one ranged killer that was in a great state needed it then why not the others. My hope is they are using her as a test dummy to see if changes to her would have a large impact. If they are still healthy then they might be adjusted on the others.

He's mostly ok still think the terror radius should be reduced and he needs an add on pass.
Some add-ons i would change
Prison Chain- Increased from 10% to 20%
Hellshire iron- Lets you see survivors aura for 10 seconds after breaking free from spear
Bayshore's Gold Tooth- Increases reeling speed by 20%
Snake Oil- Increases reeling speed by 10%

i liked it when old trickster had 60 blades and current main event is far to easy to get i remember everyone back then just wanting main event to be something you held without the timer to lose it and just showed survivors when he had it

I think the reel addons should just be basekit buffs Nobody attempts to break the chain anymoe

Deathslinger is addon dependent for either reload addons or prison chain and cigar the rest have absolutely no value to him except his iri oneshot kinda
