Ghostface Buff/Addon Rework Idea
Ghostface is one of the most iconic and loved killers in Dbd, but he really struggles nowadays with all the maps, survivor perks and has weak Addons. So I will name every change I would do and rework all of his bad Addons.
Basekit:
Ghostface has stealth and can mark survivors, but he has no additional ability to confirm the marked hit and it can be very difficult to catch survivors in maps and parts with many pallets and windows, so:
Ghostface now gains haste depending on how many survivors are fully marked:
1 Marked survivor = 5% haste
2 Marked survivors = 10% haste
3 Marked survivors = 13% haste
4 Marked survivors = 15% haste
This would reward marking multiple survivors and to cause panic and chaos on the survivor side while buffing his chase potential.
Next I would change something about the revealing mechanic:
While crouched Ghostface gets revealed 10% slower.
Ghostface gets revealed 20% faster if at least 2 survivors look at him.
This would give crouching a useful effect while adding a new counter element for the survivor side (because he trys to stay hidden by crouching and multiple people looking at him should reveal him realistically faster).
Addons:
“Philly“, Cheap Cologne, Headline Cut-outs and Walley‘s Matchbook are fine Addons, they do small things that are fine for their rarity.
Cinch Straps: Marked Survivors are inflicted with the Blindness status effect.
(Niche Addon to counter perks like windows of opportunity or other aura perks).
Olsen‘s Address Book: After Breaking a Pallet or vaulting a window, you see the aura of all marked survivors within 24 meters for 3 seconds.
(Similar effect but gives you more control on triggering it while also not making it impossible to escape for survivors).
Olsen‘s Journal: Increases the speed of Breaking pallets and kicking Generators while in Night Shroud by 10%.
(Small Buff that rewards staying in Power, even after marking since it helps out to chase after marked survivors too).
Telephoto Lens: Increases your vaulting speed by 10% for every marked survivors.
(Small buff, that helps in chase and rewards marking multiple people).
Chewed Pen: Marking survivors inflicts them with Exhausted status effect for 15 seconds.
(Better version of an already existing Addons, also f#ck vigil).
Knife Belt Clip: Decreases the cooldown of successful basic attacks on marked survivors by 60% if you down them (condition bec of later Addon).
(Saves a bit of time and can be combined with other perks for fun builds).
Lasting Perfume: Marking a survivor causes a difficult skillcheck to appear for all survivors who repair or heal.
(New Addon effect that rewards consistent marking).
Leather Knife Sheath and Olsen‘s Wallet are fine Addons.
Drivers License can also stay as it is.
Drop-Leg Knife Sheath: Now grands additionally 5% haste after marking a survivor for 5 seconds.
(Since part of it is Basekit and stays for mark duration, it gets changed so it basically stays the same as it is now).
Night Vision Monocular: After the final generator is completed, all survivors get marked. Marked survivors can’t leave through the exit gates. But decreases the mark duration by 50% after the last gen has been completed.
(This would be a fun endgame Addon that support Ghostface, fair because the reduced mark duration after the last gen).
Victim‘s Detailed Routine: When entering Night Shroud the aura of the survivor with the most amount of mark gets revealed for 5 seconds .(doesn’t count for fully marked survivors, when survs are tied it shows both, if no one has mark progression it doesn’t show anyone).
(This would give you a direction to go and find your best victims you 99 before, also fits the Addon).
“Ghostface Caught on Tape“: After downing a marked survivor, all other survivors gain 25% mark. This can’t cross 75% mark progression.
(This would slowly Build up mark after mark downs, but doesn’t allow to 99 them).
Outdoor Security Camera: Ghostface starts the trial in Night Shroud and can’t leave it, marked survivors aren’t exposed but downing marked survivors reveal all other survivors for 3 seconds. Hitting healthy survivors doesn’t remove their mark timer.
(The Addon is fine but this idea is solid too, making Ghostface stealthy like scrap mirror Myers while also still applying a part of the old effect and reward stalking because you still gain haste, but also keeping it fair because marking doesn’t Expose survivors anymore).
With this I think Ghostface would become much stronger while not becoming unfair or overpowered. His Addons would be more reliable and useful. What you think?
