    Mostly it is all add on's rework. For example Combat straps and John's medical file combination(purple) or Video Tape add on silence Ambush attack silence, and squatting while -5% haste + - 3 Bear traps. It's silimar ann on's combination's or full reflection.

    I think its important to precisely define what it is you want a rework to achieve.

    Pig's unique traits are: -

    • A decent but not overly strong chase power with her ambush.
    • Strong macro slowdown with her RBTs.
    • Effectively turns the game into a 3v1, greatly enhancing her ability to predict survivor movement and strategise accordingly.
    • Quite varied playstyles, with add-ons that can be combined well to push her different playstyles.
    • Similarly quite extensive perk synergy that offers quite a variety of build options to further shore up her weaknesses or push particular playstyles.

    I would be interested in seeing her be buffed, however quite a few people have a set idea what they want Pig to be, me included... however I think its important to ensure that ALL aspect of her kit play a prominent roll in her gameplay, not push her one way or another.

    For example Pig is a strong macro focused killer, and thus naturally she has to take compromises on micro gameplay, however there are subset of players who dont really want to play the macro game, and think her ambush should be the star part of her power. They basically want to keep buffing ambush to make her effectively Chucky-lite, able to heavily pressure the micro game, and are willing to sacrifice significant portions of her macro game to do it.

    Conversely there are those that want her macro game pushed even harder, almost to the point that she gets a head pop every single match. They want her threat of her RBTs to be so strong that despite her weaker chase, there are high probabilities that applying the RBT is effectively a death sentence for the survivor.

    Pigs ability to be pushed towards particular playstyles is one of her best traits. She is weak overall, but the combination of her abilities gives a player good at predicting survivor movement a lot of opportunities to out-think and play DBD in a very unique tactile way.

    So if you want to buff her (or rework her in any way), you have to clearly state what it is you are trying to do.

    A buff I would like for example would be something to help her in the early game. Once she has the ball rolling, Pig can start to shine... but until that point, she is very weak and prone to being blown out of the game on a bad chase at the start of the trial. Something like a single head trap out at the start would help massively, but of course, that isn't earned, so would be a cheap buff... but you get what I'm saying.

    Give Pig this basekit:

    1. Iridescent videotape
    2. last will
    3. workshop grease
    4. combat straps
    5. both plans

    I would love it if Pig didnt require Last Will and Workshop grease to make the charge attack at least somewhat threatening.
    Right now I never play her without those because I need the Charge Attack to be able to threaten Survivors.

    If that was fixed, I think Pig would be way better.
