These two Blindness addons are terrible.

This addon is awful. Blindness isn't an extremely strong effect and this only activates when a survivor is fully infected. A lot of the time, survivors will use a spray before reaching full infection or you down them before they get full infection and then the infection resets on hook anyway. It's a minor effect combined with a somewhat niche activation condition, which makes this addon extremely unreliable and not worth using. I've even tried combining it with the addon that makes survivors get infected faster and it still just isn't worth it at all.

I think this addon would be better if it was changed to the following:

  • After a Survivor uses a First Aid Spray, they are afflicted with Blindness for 60 seconds.

This is much like the existing Bullhorn addon (which inflicts Oblivious for 30s after using a spray), which is overall more consistent and works more often since it would now work any time infection is removed as opposed to only working with full infections.

If that isn't enough to make it decent, then perhaps it could last a little longer as well, there are already a few green/purple blindness addons that are longer than 60 seconds so it wouldn't be unheard of.

Then this one:

The only time this really does anything is if you destroy a turret mid-chase due to its small activation range, and the low duration of only 25 seconds basically means it's probably only going to block auras during that same chase or very shortly after. Anything past that and the effect will already be over, making this addon very weak overall and one of the Xenomorph's worst addons.

I was talking about this addon with a friend and we went through a few different ideas on how this could be changed and in the end the conclusion we reached is that tying it to destroying turrets near survivors just makes it too specific and not really interesting to use either. Therefore I propose reworking it to something much simpler:

  • Survivors hit by Tail Attacks suffer from Blindness for 60 seconds.

This would be very similar to the Amanita Toxin addon for Huntress which applies blindness on hatchet hits and is much better because it directly rewards the killer for injuring survivors with their power and can be used more often. While the effect itself is a bit less unique than the current version, it is much more straightforward overall and would be stronger and more consistent.
