Bubba Add-On Rework
Now I'm not going to lie and say I'm the most experienced Bubba player in the world but I've played him a lot recently and he's now my main killer. I've been playing since late 2017 and haven't really connected to a killer till now.
I've used every add-on and I feel confident in saying they aren't in a great spot. You only use charge add-ons if you have them and the others if you have nothing else.
Speed add-ons? Nothing special
Bumping add-ons? Good but no better than charge add-ons.
Noise cancelling are just extremely bad.
So I decided to take a look at his add-ons and see what I'd personally do to rework them. This was quite difficult but I hope people can agree these add-ons are better than the current ones and broken add-ons (Carburetor Tuning Guide) are now more balanced.
Also there was only 19 perks (killers need 20). So I've created a new one. I'd be surprised if you can find it lol

I don't think the problem really lies within Bubba's add-ons. While yes his add-ons do need to be changed in order to match the other killers; Bubba himself just isn't a very strong killer and could use a full on power rework or a nice buff. What they could do I have no idea but I've definitely given it some thought. Maybe let him throw his chainsaw? Hell I don't know but he needs something. #BuffBubba

I'd take a buff but he doesn't need it. Currently he's doing extremely well for me at rank 1.

I reslly think thst the power is the problem not addons. If they make saw fastet with addons would be only pursue the surv and press m2. I would make something like:
Tantrum: Tantrum bar recharge by being in chase, the longer the chase the faster it charges. One charged bubba will hold up his chainsaw and move at 325% speed (just a random number can be changed) while on tantrum kilker will use his chainsaw and will instadown survs, surv downed reduce the tantrum bar.
I think it would be lore wise with the killer.

I mean considering the coming map changes and the addition of something to make the early game easier on killers; maybe he won't need anything other than an add-on rework and a couple QoL changes. Personally I wish your chainsaw would start as soon as you charge it to 100 similar to Billy. It's really annoying letting go of a 99 chainsaw and just losing lots of distance because of it. Still though his power just feels really bland compared to all the things Billy can do and with Bubba being an iconic killer and all it'd be nice if he could be seen as something more than just the killer who excels at facecamping.

His add ons definitely need some looking into, which the devs said they were going to do...about a year ago. Sigh maybe one day.

I agree big map with coordinated team is extremely tough to win but only killer like nurse, spirit and billy can win those games I think.
Btw since your a Bubba main what do you think of the add-ons? This was meant to be a Bubba add-on rework discussion and no one has mentioned them once lol
0 -
Well... im mabe not a main, but i played him a decent amount of time.
This addon rework won't do much.
As bubba you walk next to a survivor and charge the chainsaw when its shoved inside their asses. Charge speed helps a lot doing so they won't reach window/pallet meantime.
Everything else is more situational. Speed addons? They can work on some loops like the pig's ambush.
Probably his biggest problem is that, his power has no utility, just like hag or huntress, with a simple difference, his power doesen't have as much lethality as theirs.
Except this trio, every single killer has some utility, even deathslinger.

Charge add-ons are still his best but that won't change no matter what. I tried to make add-ons that wouldn't beat charge, but wouldn't be useless without it.
Such as increased speed while charging the chainsaw. This means you can charge a bit sooner than before and still get the hit. Adding more bumping add-ons which should help if you make a mistake.
Is their any add-ons you'd consider bad or don't have an exact purpose? I knew charge add-ons where the best but I wanted to give you more options on how to play him with the other add-ons.

When I meant mention the add-ons I meant the add-on changes I suggested lol not his current ones.
Right now I only use Spark Plug and Vegetable Oil. Getting consistent 4ks pretty much every game. Only had one game on badham where I didn't get more than 3 kills. I got none but it was through me playing crap and nothing to do with the survivors skill.

Well what about the add-on changes I suggested lol do they seem good
