Pig rework suggestion

For my first post, I'd like to suggest an idea to make The Pig a more interesting killer.

Simply put, add-ons that alter the way jigsaw Baptism works. Each add-on would change the type of trap (also changing the affect description).

For example, one could change it from the reverse bear trap to the shotgun collar. Placing this on a survivor puts them in the position of having to stay within range of another survivor or risk detonation (not active during a chase).

In addition, a survivor wearing a collar can't be within range of another trapped survivor, or else both are risk.

A 15-25 second detonation time seems reasonable, 45 seconds at the most.

Also, environment traps for The Pig could be fun. Things like the rack from saw 3, or the glass case from 5. They would work similarly to the Box of Atonement, save that survivors have to be placed directly. Another survivor would have to save them.

Both of these implements would make The Pig a much more unpredictable killer.

    Id like that. Pig is a good killer but so boring to play.

    Pig already has an imbalance with regards to how her add-ons affect aspects of her power (too many affect her RBT; not enough affect her ambush). Having add-ons that completely change an aspect of her power like that would only exacerbate that issue IMO.

    I think that add-ons giving her more stuff to play around with, similarly to Freddy's dream pallets, would be an excellent idea.

    Funny, because I have the exact opposite opinion about Pig and Hillbilly.

    Lmao. Its just i find her too easy to 4k with. I spent a lot of time learning her and have never not gotten a 4k with her. I find easy things boring. Thats why I don't play pig, billy, clown, wraith, ghost face, or plague. Ive been playing legion for that reason.

    Seems interesting. I definitely think she needs more variety to her traps.

    I agree. Variety to traps is something they can definitely look into. Remember Freddy's add-ons that let him use two different powers? Pig can have a similar choice as well.

    Pig requires a rework anyway. Add-ons are really bad and really strong at the same time. Definitely needs help.
