The Unknown's add-ons
Pretty much none of them are terrible, yet they do not give The Unknown interesting or fun stuff to play with.
Most of them boil down to "apply x status effect when x happens", I think some of them could be reworked to do way more interesting things tho!
Punctured Eyeball
- Reduces UVX blast area by 20%. (2.25 metres to 1.8 metres)
- Increases UVX recharge speed by 20%. (7 seconds to 5.6 seconds)
- Grants 100% bonus bloodpoints for UVX hits.
The original add-on was way too situational and didn't provide much value, with the new effect it would be a bit harder to hit Survivors but you can use your power more often in exchange! With some bonus bloodpoints. :)
Last Known Recording
- After teleporting, one random Hallucination will play the teleporting sfx and have the same Terror Radius as you for 5 seconds.
- The Aura of the affected Hallucination is revealed in Red.
A simple jumpscare add-on that won't do much but could scare Survivors a lot haha.
Front-Page Article
- Increases the maximum number of Hallucinations that can be spawned by 1.
Having an add-on that allows more Hallucinations to spawn would be really nice, currently you are either fixed to 4 of them or to 3 of them with a specific add-on. I think a simple add-on like this wouldn't hurt.
Serum Vial
- Teleporting to a Hallucination destroys it and triggers a UVX blast area in its place.
- Decreases teleport cooldown by 10 seconds.
An add-on like this would be really neat, teleporting could now weaken Survivors if they're close enough, or damage them if they're already weakened! Also a slight decrease to the teleport cooldown for the cases where the add-on cannot really be used.
Homemade Mask
- Teleporting to a Hallucination is silent.
- Grants the Undetectable Status Effect for 3 seconds after teleporting.
- Increases your Hallucinations' Aura Range that is visible to Survivors by 100%.
Wanted to make Unknown a bit stealthy, but increased the Aura range of Hallucinations for Survivors so they can notice if you teleported or not, just to make the add-on a bit more fair while not completely making the Undetectable obsolete.
Captured by the Dark
- Survivors begin the trial Weakened.
- Increases the bonus weakened duration when Survivors are injured by UVX to 8 seconds. (default is 6 seconds)
I don't think this add-on deserves such a heavy downside, especially due to the fact that it can be easily removed by Survivors and then you're stuck with a downside for the rest of the match. Removing it and giving it quite a big upside fits more with it being an Ultra Rare add-on afterall I think!
What do you think? Are these add-ons fair? Let me know!

Good changes to Puntured Eyeball, Last Known Recording, Serum Vial and Homemade Mask.
Captured by the Dark is already quite good. I'd add in the buff, but keep the downside.
Front Page Article is also good enough, imo. The new effect is really nice, though. I would maybe give it to another add-on. Both Sketch Attempt and Device of Undisclosed Origin have Oblivious as their effect, which is excessive imo. So one of them would be good for that.

All very nice changes but i don't think captured in the dark needs any chages its a very strong add on especially in the hands a a good unknown so i think the debuff is justified

Mostly I play Unknown with one brown addon because I think 80% of them are boring

Yeah, half of his add-ons have really small/boring effects.
