Useless or worse than nothing add-ons have no place in the game. They take up add-on slots that make the power worse or have no effect at all. I want to make them at least interesting or worth running in builds. I would like feedback.

Padded Jaws: [REWORK] The time a Survivor is trapped you gain 10% haste and instead of injuring a Survivor by a Trap they become Exposed for 30 seconds.

Wraith

The Beast Soot: [BUFF] You are fully Invincible to Survivors who are further than 8 meters (instead of 20m)

Hillbilly

Counterweight: [REWORK] Increases your Movement Speed by +5% and Removes Overdrive

Discarded Air Filter: [REWORK] Decreases your Charge Time by -10% for 30 seconds when stunned by a Pallet or shun by a Flashlight

Ragged Engine: [REWORK] Gain the Undetectable Status Effect when for 30 seconds after hitting a Survivor with the Chainsaw

High-Speed Idler Screw: [Rework] Gain +10% haste for 5 seconds when stunned by a Pallet or shun by a Flashlight

    No.

    Meme add-ons DO belong in this game. If you don't want to run them that is fine, but other players enjoy the added challenge or the 'meme' factor.

    The added Challenge is using no add-ons/perks. I want add-ons that are atleast fun when I am handicapping myself like Scratched Mirror and not Kid's Drawing. Because nobody wants to run that add-on on Freddy even if it is more challenging. If you want to meme that is fine but make them at least encourage playstyles or increase in fun factor.

    I love meme add-ons. I like the BP boost and the mental confusion it can cause for the survivors as you can tell they're trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

    For other add-ons, I have no feedback to give. I rarely if ever use non-meme add-ons.

    I like to play nonoptimal too, I use a lot of ''bad'' add-ons nobody uses. However, I am not gonna lie I feel forced to use the best add-ons when playing against experienced players or the meta. Give me at least something when I am nerfing myself. I want interesting add-ons that encourage a playstyle, have a give/take, or have a funny effect that is noticeable.

    For the record, when I say ''meme add-ons have no place in the game'' I mean add-ons like Freddy's addon: ''Kid's Drawing''' that nerfs the Dream Snares. There is no fun in using this add-on on a bad killer. Meme add-ons that do have a place in the game are add-ons like Wraith's "The Beast Soot", Clown's "Party Bottle" or Michael Myers' "Scratched Mirror". You can limit yourself and play in a fun playstyle with builds.
