Suggestion For Huntress addon Changes

First of all, no, i dont think Huntress needs change.
I had an idea of cool addon changes that could make:
- useless addons like Soldiers Putee, Infantry belt etc actually viable
- unhealthy addons like Iridescent head to be Fun and viable

How i wanted addons to look like:
Ultra Rare: Tremendously changes Huntress Playstyle
Very Rare: Gives effects that will support Huntress Gameplay
Rare: Buffs Huntress with more % on some aspects, and give strong statuses.
Uncommon: Weaker effects of Rare addons.
Common: Small buffs and helper addon.

Note: Some values are just here for look, testing is required to see if they will give effect that we want.

————Ultra Rare Addons————

  • Iridescent Head [Rework]
    - Reduces the number of carried Hatchets to 1
    - Succesfully hitting a Survivour with a Hatchet, makes that Hatchet come back to Huntress.
    - Missing a Hatchet throw makes power go on 10s cooldown, after which Hatchet comes back
    - Survivours hit by Hatchets 32m away from Huntress are automatically put into dying state

    We can all agree that current Iridescent Head is unhealthy (easy proxy camp), bad (compared to normal huntress, per reload you get max 1 down, while without addon its 3 downs with injury) So here we have nice One in a chamber huntress that rewards you for hitting survivours and risky throws.



  • Bear Claw [New Addon]
    - Whenever survivour gets deep wound, they also receive Beast mark
    - Survivours who take hit with a hatchet in 8m radius of other survivours receives Deep wound status effect
    - If other survivour is downed with a hatchet, all survivours with Beast mark will suffer damage.
    - Healing deep wound removes Beast mark

    This either will be broken, or niche. Imagine you see 3 survivours near, 2 healthy and 1 injured. Since they are close, you injure 2 healthy, and quickly down 3rd. All of them gets downed. Total mayhem. Same goes for protection hits. Sounds fun.
    (TBF i had CQB Huntress in mind, but it would work like spring trap so i scrapped that)


————Very Rare Addons————

  • Infantry Belt [Rework]
    - Hitting survivour with basic attack reloads.
    - Removes 2 Hatchets

    We all can agree that Belts are useless now. I think that would be nice rework.

  • Glowing Concoction [No change]
    Survivors hit by Hatchets have their Aura revealed to you for 5 seconds.

  • Wooden Fox [Mini QOL Change]
    Grants the Undetectable Status Effect after reloading (removed at lockers) for 30 seconds.

    Small wording change, to make it work with Infantry belt reload

  • Nettle Brew (New Addon)
    Downing survivour with a hatchet makes other survivours within 18m of that downed survivour scream

    I just wish i had infectious Fright on hatchets like that, it sounds fun


————Rare Addons————

  • Venomous Concoction [No change]
    Survivors hit by Hatchets suffer from the Exhausted Status Effect for 5 seconds.

  • Flower Babushka [No change]
    Reduces the Wind-up time of Hatchets by -10%

  • Rose root [No change]
    Increases the Projectile speed of Hatchets by +20%.

  • Begrimed Head [Now Rare]
    Hitting survivour with a hatchet inflicts Mangled and Hemorrage status effect for 80s

  • Leather belt [Now Rare with Buffed effect]
    Succesfully hitting a Survivour with a Hatchet grants a +5% Haste status effect for 10s


    I think that after buffing this addon that much, it could make nice hybrid huntress. Effect doesn't stack with itself, only refreshes duration


————Uncommon Addons————

  • Shiny Pin [No change]
    Increases the Movement speed while winding Hatchets up by +5%.

    Maybe slight % buff? like 10% or something in between? idk

  • Manna grass braid [No change]
    Reduces the Wind-up time of Hatchets by -8%.

  • Oak haft [No change]
    Reduces the Cool-down duration between successive Hatchet throws by -20%.

  • Deerskin Gloves [now Uncommon, no change]
    Reduces the Reload time of Hatchets at Lockers to 80% of its default value.

    Maybe slight % buff? Also this effect is nice, but i dont think it deserves rare rarity

  • Soldiers Putee [Now Uncommon with new effect]
    - Increases the Movement speed of The Huntress to 4.6 m/s while out of Hatchets
    - Gives 5% Haste status effect for 15s after reloading from empty

    Current soldier's putee is very bad, it shouldnt be Ultra rare, but i think with this small buff it wouldnt as bad.

————Common Addons————

  • Bandaged Haft [No change]
    Reduces the Cool-down duration between successive Hatchet throws by -10%.

  • Yellowed Cloth [No change]
    Increases the Projectile speed of Hatchets by +10 %.

  • Amanita Toxin [No change]
    Survivors hit by Hatchets suffer from the Blindness Status Effect for 60 seconds.

  • Mother's Mask [Helper addon]
    Shows a little dot in the center of the screen

    And we end up with crosshair for Huntress. :*
