this game is mostly perfect as it is, however, with all the heroes now in game (Bill, ash, heather, laurie) its a bit frustrated to see them butchered without being hable to defend themselfs, so, how about this devs, END GAME WEAPONS, opening the gate would acces players or a player to weapons to either stunt, knock down or EVEN KILL the killer, this way, the killer would be forced to play more strategically and not just CAMP the last hooked victims. also to make the timer have more sence, probably just make it really hard to kill the assasin to balance the end game, tho, its called endgame for something right?

    Role explains everything.


    Also, old thread:

    1. Killers can open exit gates.
    2. Killers can do gens.
    3. killers can no longer kill survivors.
    4. Survivors now can down killers.
    5. Survivors can sacrifice killers to the entity.


    You skipped points 2 and 3


    Not to mention that it would be even weirder if survivors were able to combat some killers... like spirit... how are you supposed to kill a ghost?

    thats not my idea neither this is what i meant, why would a killer do a gen? also, if you think survivors can't hit a ghost, how do you hit it with a pale? also how doesn't both nurse or spirit go trough windows? well the reason its because they are both physical when they aren't in theyre plane. anyway i found your answer pretty rushed and offtopic, i still think survivors could fight back in end game cause like in all horror movies, SURVIVORS DO, and this is based on horror movies by far.

    kill a ghost? i dont know.... like, they arent all under a certain entity that controls and can even consume them right?

    I think it is an interesting idea, but only if the weapons were only behind ONE of the gates and you have no idea which one it is until you try them. That would mirror the Killer trying to predict which gate you are running toward. :) But before an idea as ambitious as this one is implemented, the SWF issue would have to be resolved.

    What if downed survs got instantly hooked to compensate? This is a pretty big nerf so it could use a counter balance.

    oh!!! i like your feedback! that would make the killer run towards a gate to open it and try to camp the weapon either making the survivors a favor or dooming them towards the lure, ha! i would love to see this in game.

    I honestly don't feel like survivors having weapons fits in this game.


    The whole point of survivors (arguably) is that you're defenseless and that you have to escape by running and hiding.

    you are till the game end, and besides having a weapon in the end game is only a chance to have a revenge, i mean, you can still just escape once the gate is opened, you would only risk to go back for the same reasons you do once its open, save somebody else.

    i would say.... the player(s) with the weapon(s) gets a hex, if downed, can get moried.

    So you want AK-47, rifles, tanks and that stuff for survivors right?

    As much as I would love to knock down a spirit and sacrifice her to the entity it doesn't make any sense. A survivors goal is to escape the trial not sacrifice the killer.

    That didn't work for Deathgarden and it would outright kill DbD. You have DS and Flashlights to fight back. Even Flashlights were, at one point, deemed too strong so they were nerfed.

    Mayba some hunting rifle or revolver, with few ammo and difficult to find, take and use that only stun the killer for few seconds, may be interesting.

    no, i want a stick, a wrench, a bat, and probably a machete

    yisus, you ppl can't avoid extremes (or read completely)... thats why you ain't devs. its not about goin straight into guns, KILLIN and SACRIFICING the killer, haven't you all played survivor horrors before? and i mean, THE OLD ONES. at least try CLOCK TOWER ffs. thats an example of what i mean. more likely the perfect example is clock tower 3. (just not magical, yea gotta be specific or you guys will go extreme again)

    giving them a weapon, let me be specific even tho its on the topic itself. IN THE END GAME, may be even beneficial for the killer, since sometimes you just need them to try and come back so you can hang them to either get your points of finish a daily ritual.

    also lets make it even better:

    THE WEAPON IS INSIDE THE GATE. IN A CHEST.
