Does the glitch trap skin feel pay to win to anyone else?

its footsteps are quieter then any other springtrap. I know otter killers move quietly too this isn’t an attack

    Entire killer is pretty P2W from what I can tell.

    I don't feel it honestly. I mean yeah, his footsteps have a different sound to them, but honestly it just puts them at the same level as Demogorgon, Whereas his default skin is more like Knights footsteps (Mainly due to the metal clanking). Overall, we can still hear them from the same distance, they just lack the Metal sounds because they're padded. Otherwise, The skin itself is super bright colored, with intensely glowing eyes, so even if you miss hearing his approach, he's far easier to spot than his base or bloody skins are. On top of that, his Glitchy noises when he does things like vaulting, breaking, aiming his axe etc are also very loud and more noticeable compared to base skin.

    The way I see it, its a trade off:

    Slightly less noticeable/Different sounding footsteps, but more visible and with overall louder SFX.

    I wouldn't consider that Pay To Win. Comparatively, Think of the Were-Elk skin for Huntress, and its brief stints as being P2W:

    The skin is dark colored, and tends to blend in on dark maps, or maps with prominently brown coloring (farm maps), and for a while what made it P2W was how quiet the 40m Lullaby and Hatchet Aiming sounds were. On a Ranged killer, That definitely gave some Major Advantages to the players, so much that they had to make the skin louder, but still did nothing about its color scheme to make it easier to spot. Glitch Trap is nowhere near that level… It's too noisy and easy to spot on any map, the only thing different is the lack of Clanking metal sounds in its footsteps, but you can still hear them from the same range.

    it's definitely quieter BUT it's taller. there are some loops where its ears comically extend above the walls so there's no way he can mind game you.

    Well, it exists on survivor side, so I don't really have an issue with it on killer side.

    Not like it was promised few years ago to fix audio differences…

    Listen for the doors and he's not, but his footsteps are softer yes. I don't think it's as bad as the Were-Elk skin was though.

    If Survivors can have different footstep levels and be harder to trace, and someone like Ghostface can get an advantage from darker cosmetics, is Glitchtrap that big a deal because his feets are soft?

    He has the additional benefit of creeping the absolute #### outta LockerLurks, too. ;~;

    yup, plenty of survivor footwear change their audio. Ghostface has "pay to win" skins too but tbh if i had to play default GF I'd rather not even play him period
