A Piggy Rework

Okay so, In my opinion while the Pig isn’t at the top of the list for needing buffs, she does need a few. Namely a couple mechanic changes, along with her addons to make it have more effects for her tool that she uses all game. The Ambush.


Base changes

Increased crouched movement speed to 95%

Reverse bear traps function basically the same as before except the timer will start after a survivor is hooked, in addition to after a generator is complete, or if all the generators are complete the trap will automatically start.

Jigsaw boxes now work off set percentages.

Box 1- 15% chance of having the key. Box 2- 20% chance of having the key. Box 3- 25% chance of having the key. Box 4- 100% chance of finding the key. (Numbers subject to change.)

Jigsaw box auras are not revealed to trapped survivors until they come within 24 meters of the box. Auras are revealed in an unlimited range once the trap has been activated. It will still take the standard 12 seconds to search through a Jigsaw box.
