The Cannibal | Base Kit Changes

  • adjusted acceleration time to 0.8 seconds always (was 1.5 seconds and dependend on Add-Ons).
  • increased Chainsaw Sweep movement speed to 5.4 m/s (was 5.35 m/s).
  • increased movement speed during the Chainsaw's cooldown to 1.84 m/s (was 1.38 m/s).
  • decreased time required to trigger a Tantrum while Revving to 3 seconds within 8 meters away from hooked Survivor.
  • increased time required to charge a Chainsaw by 10% within 8 meters away from hooked Survivor.

Notes: The Cannibal's acceleration depends of the duration of the first Chainsaw Charge. It means that putting more duration Add-Ons will increase time required to reach maximum movement speed. Acceleration should have constant value. Increased movement speed is still needed while playing Leatherface, so many players will still use The Beast's Marks no matter what. The Cannibal movement speed during the Chainsaw's cooldown should be increased due to Hillbilly's Update. They both should have the same speed during the Chainsaw's cooldown and on Bubba it wouldn't matter that much as on Billy, but it would grant a little bit better feeling. The changes applied near the hooked Survivor would slightly decrease The Cannibal's camping potential and it would allow Survivor to at least trade and would allow unhooked Survivor to run away. Additionally, with decreased time required to trigger a Tantrum it would be much easier to juke Leatherface near the hook.

The Cannibal | Add-Ons Changes

Chainsaw File (Buff & New Effect)

  • Decreases the Tantrum duration by 0.5 seconds (was 0.25 seconds).
  • Decreases time required to recharge Chainsaw Charge by 20% for next 10 seconds after Triggering a Tantrum.

Notes: It would be a nice Add-On for beginner that would encourage them to use Chainsaw even after bumping into an object.

Vegetable Oil (Change)

  • Decreases the Chainsaw's cooldown after successful Chainsaw Attack by 0.8 seconds.

Notes: Currently this Add-On decreases both cooldowns - missed & successful. I would change Vegetable Oil to decrease only successful Chainsaw Hit cooldown, but a little bit more. It would grant a nice feeling and it would feel more rewarding for getting a down. Nothing crazy for brown Add-On, but very nice to use.

Homemade Muffler (New Effect)

  • Decreases time required to charge a Chainsaw by 10%.

Notes: Due to Chainsaw File changes this Add-On would receive a full rework. Faster Charge time would be a very nice option. Keep in mind that I wouldn't suggest to add more Add-Ons that increase Power charge speed. So, one Add-On that could increase Power charge speed wouldn't be a problem and it would be very nice Add-On to use.

Long Guide Bar (New Effect)

  • Increases movement speed while Revving the Chainsaw by 5%.

Notes: Old version of Long Guide Bar & The Grease were very bad designed. These Add-Ons currently encourage Cannibal to camp even more with a Chainsaw.

Shop Lubricant (New Effect)

  • Breaking a Pallet with a Chainsaw immediately recharges one Chainsaw Charge.

Notes: Old Effect was completely useless and very hard to trigger.

The Grease (New Effect)

  • Decreases the Chainsaw's cooldown by 0.4 seconds per each Charge spent.

Depth Gauge Rake (Buff)

  • Grants 1 additional Chainsaw Charge.
  • Increases time required to charge a Chainsaw by 12% (was 18%).
  • Decreases the Chainsaw Sweep movement speed by 0.5% (was 2%).

Notes: After the Buff this Add-On isn't that bad, but it still really hurts. I think lowering the penalties would be a perfect choice to make this Add-on viable.

Carburetor Tuning Guide (Buff)

  • Automatically consumes all Chainsaw Charges while triggering a Chainsaw Sweep.
  • Increases maximum Chainsaw Sweep duration by 0.75 seconds (was 0.5 seconds).
  • Increases recharge speed by 15% after Breaking a Pallet for 8 seconds.
  • Removed Chainsaw Sweep movement speed penalty.

Notes: After Breaking a Pallet you lose all Chainsaw Charges while using this Add-On and you don't have control of your Power. That's a main problem why this Add-On is one of the worst Add-Ons for Bubba.

Rusted Chains (Change)

  • Successful Chainsaw Hit grants ability to see Survivors Auras within 24 meters for 6 seconds.

Award Winning Chili (New Effect)

  • Grants ability to start a Chainsaw Sweep with maximum movement speed.
  • Increases Chainsaw Sweep movement speed by 2% during the first Chainsaw Charge.

Chili (Buff)

  • Increases Chainsaw Sweep duration by 0.25 seconds (was 0.15 seconds).

Notes: Both Chilis right now are pretty much useless and apply acceleration penalties. I would bring back old Yellow Chili and rework Purple One. My idea to change Purple Chili is from Old Bubba. Back in the days Purple Chili used to decreases acceleration time (but it wasn't working at all).
