Idea for pig

Saw has ALWAYS been about "Making your choice", choosing to do something horrifically painful to live. Nothing about Amanda gives that feeling. Its currently "Oh no, I have to stop doing gens for 20 seconds while I go do a different gen-like thing". That's not much of a painful choice. I suggest adding SOMETHING like this to her kit. What that something is, I honestly dunno.

Force them to rip parts off gens to do boxes?

Doing a box randomly exposes another survivor?

Doing a box applies a random penalty (mangled, hindered, exhausted, broken, etc) for 120 seconds?

Break another survivor to unlock the ability to do boxes?


The specifics can be worked on, but currently RBTs do not live up to the Jigsaw fantasy.

    It's not much of a choice in Dead By Daylight when it's either "definitely die" or "maybe don't die". You're gonna pick the second one every time. I'm not saying something like this should be implemented, but if it were, I think it should be implemented as "punish yourself and definitely escape the trap" vs. "don't punish yourself and possibly don't escape the trap."

    My idea is that its Punish yourself for the chance to escape the trap vs Don't punish yourself and die.

    Jigsaw was rarely EVER a "if you hurt yourself, you definitely live". It was a "How much are you willing to hurt yourself to survive?"


    How many people died in Jigsaw's traps right before they would have escaped, even after they had say, dipped their hand in acid, or crawled through razor wire? The point was always:

    You need to be willing to mangle yourself, exhaust yourself, break your self to even have a chance. You need to endure all of those things and keep pushing to survive.


    Because of that, my idea is punish the survivor per box that they search. How far are they willing to go to live?


    Of course, this would require traps to be reworked similar to legion, where the timer doesn't tick in Pigs radius, as opposed to in a chase.

    its difficult to buff the pig since she can put traps on survivors and patrol the boxes thats the main problem its that alot of piggys dont want to find the others they just patrol until they find the survivor that have RBT on thats the main problem even alot of ppl dislike the "nerf" she got it was a thing but still its very difficult to find a solution on her most of the killers its easy to buff but her shes to difficult

    The problem is that would likely lead to pretty awful and unfun gameplay. It's always cool to keep as true to the source material as possible, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the gameplay itself.

    @ba_tetsuo the problem with the in game Amanda (that i see from other people saying it)is that she isn't like her lore (cruel and not fair)
