New Item Idea: the "Beacon"

Free_Hugs

This is a suggestion for an item that will make completing a trial harder, in exchange for greater bloodpoint rewards.

Beacon, brown/yellow/green/purple quality.
"Make your survivor slightly/moderately/greatly/significantly more visible
Gain 25%/50%/75%/100% more bloodpoint if you survive the trial.
This item may not be dropped."

The general scale would be "slightly" would increase the relative brightness of a survivor, so even prestige Claudette stands out against  a dark background.

"Significantly" would make the survivor glow yellow like they were being stalked by Myers. With the other qualities in between those two points.

Add-ons could add other noticible effects like adding firefly wisps of widening area or increasing the volume of noises the survivor makes for further increased bloodpoint gains.
Likely "increase" gains like thrill of the hunt rather than "more" gains like BBQ for the add-ons, though.

Keeping the survivor from being able to drop the item is just so they can't stash it by an exit gate and pick it up on the way out for gains at no drawback.

TL;DR an item to make survivor more difficult and rewarding.

Judgement

A Beacon will only make stealth more difficult - not chasing.
A godly looper who runs the Killer around until all generators are completed and straight out the gate can reap the bloodpoint gains from Beacon without the brightness making any difference for him. If anything this will make it easier for said looper to keep the Killer chasing him since he’d be harder to lose.

While this is true, it would prevent said looper from being able to use an instant heal syringe or medkit/flashlight in general.

Maybe it makes you a bit slower to compensate for the bloodpoint increase?

I was wandering why would a bacon make you more visible....because of the lard?
