It's been 10 months since the last original Plague cosmetic was released.
Can you please give me a reason to spend money on your game? Simply giving us rehashed content by putting recolors into the Rift doesn't cut it. Where's the actual new content for Plague in this game?

There are over 40 killers and survviors in the roster now, statistically some will get left out if they aren't releasing cosmetics every couple of days.

Who's playing Plague?
19 -
I don't see anyone playing plague at red ranks, maybe just bad luck, or they make cosmetics based on stats(?)

I am.
That's simply unfair. If anything she needs some changes to escape that dreadful cycle.

I am.
Her power design and concept are fun and her lore is really cool.
Also the Red Forest Gals gotta stick together.

It's sort of the same thing as what happened to Adam - he didn't have any unique or visually interesting cosmetics, so nobody played him.
Now that he has a decent amount of skins, he's still rare but like, you actually see people playing him.
Plague needs love too.
Not just cosmetics though; her power makes it hard to rank up and can feel really sluggish and unpleasant to use. It's also RNG dependent now, because - as cool as her getting a basekit corrupted pool is - her corrupted pool spawns in some Entityforsaken corner of the map as often as it does anywhere near a generator.
As strong as her power can be, having to wander away from everything kills her pressure and wastes the one thing Killers never have enough of: time.
It can turn her power into a potential lose-lose, just like with Trapper.
And I get the devs are fixing like 7 other Killers right now and are busy making outfits for Meg, Claudette, Elodie, Felix, Feng, etc., but it'd be reassuring to know they're at least aware of Adiris' existence and will take a look at her some time.
As is, she's probably just going to be played less and less over time - not more.

Cosmetics have become really sparse for killers in general- I'm guessing they don't sell as well as survivor cosmetics. If its any consolation, deathslinger has basically been forgotten about. Plague at least got a decent run of cosmetics before being dropped?
I would defend the rift recolours though: they're often recolours of rare cosmetics some which are auric cell only (hag in particular has had some good stuff through the rift). That said tome five is a worrying shift as all of the recolours were for the default outfits...

I’m gonna take a very big (but confident) guess that Plague had a very high abandonment rate after the introduction of dedicated servers.
Of the entire roster Plague was hurt the absolute most by dedicated survivors because of the rate of velocity of her power. It also doesn’t help that she is almost perpetually, ubiquitously bugged. There’s always something new wrong with her, or old bugs reappear.
I really REALLY loved Plague a lot when she was released, and mained her almost exclusively instead of my usual mains: Clown and Freddy.
But after dedicated servers, and the repeated trend of new bugs, I just found Plague way WAY too much hard work.
I’m not alone in feeling this way about her either.
So if BHVR can see that her pick rate now is rather low, why make cosmetics they’ll make little profit from?
It’s a harsh, ruthless guess for me to make, but it’s how I genuinely feel.

Yep,your post perfectly describes why playing plague feels straight up awful.
I used to main her back then but her power feels so damn clunky in comparison to all the other killers now.
Always wanted her to have the ability to channel her corrupted purge from the fontains.Like she looks in their direction and starts an animation that would slow her extremely down similiar to static blast which could not be cancelled.
That would definetely make her much more fun to play as imo.

It would absolutely be a massive improvement if she could channel corrupted fountains from within a certain range.
Still though, server latency with her Purge, and her plethora of bugs....ugh, just thinking about it makes my head hurt. I still have horrible memories of her headdress getting me regular stuck in doorways, or under other low hanging geometry, or the ceiling of the basement stairs.

Well she isn't very strong, doesn't get many blood points and the survivors get to control her power which isn't fun for the killer. She needs some small reworks but instead gets ignored so hardly anyone plays her. She also gets hurt tremendously by the bad dedicated server ping where the vomit hits don't register.
Few people playing her = less money made when making cosmetics for her.
This is why you see lots of cosmetics for Legion, because lots of people play him, IE more money.

Also the fact that you can't change killer in lobby when you see medkits, literally killed Plague.

Well I know the main reason why I haven't bought any skins with cells for killers....because you cant see it when playing hehe. I know a lot of fps have cosmetics for guns that you can see so I get that. But unless its something like camouflage clothing that makes you harder to see then I dont get cosmetics for first person. I wonder if there is any data out there that shows if games with 3rd person sells more cosmetics than first person.

It sucks because Plague is actually really fun and with practice a good killer! I hope they give her some pretty cosmetics soon because her design is so cool, honestly stan vommy mommy <3
1 -
She’s the least played killer as confirmed by the dev stats released in October. She had a 2% pick rate. I doubt they want to focus on making cosmetics for a killer that is rarely played, unfortunately.

I play Plague, and I don't even worry about grabbing the pools - I've never felt like I need them, and eventually, the players give me Corrupt Purge all on their own, so I never have to touch a single pool.

Everyone wants to be stylish, and everyone deserves it.

Freddy has NO cosmetics.
Myers has ONE.
Leatherface has ONE.
In comparison, you have a whole freaking wardrobe.

I kind of hope they don't release any new cosmetics for a while on both sides. Not after this chapter going through, the last thing they need is more money.

Those are licensed characters, they do not count.

I wish we'd get a new, original plague or slinger skin for once. I swear a Feng cosmetic gets released every two weeks. Please, BHVR, have mercy on us, the legion mains have had enough cosmetics. They literally have almost 80.
2 -
The disrespect is real.
Plague has a fun kill concept and is actually entertaining to play with, unless of course you're a sweat who wants to 4K every game then I can see why you don't use her.
2 -
I'd rather they help fix Plague's issues before getting a new skin any time soon.
Or both, actually it'd be cool if we got both.
It's difficult because she's honestly not AWFUL but she's not the best killer either. Her power makes medkits and healing completely obsolete which is an interesting niche and her teachable perks are amazing.
But I digress, as much as I'd like to discuss Plague changes this is not the place for that. I will simply agree with you in that I'd really like to see a new, original Plague skin sometime soon.

People enjoy it when they 4K or otherwise win when trying their best with a skillful killer that they've learned, rather than lose because corrupt purge spawned in a corner and nobody cleansed, or it's Lery's, or when dedicated servers make your vomit as dangerous as a console blight. Losing partially because of factors completely out of your control is not enjoyable, and not being able to use the fun and skillful elements of your power because corrupt spawned in the Thompson House is not fun either.
Plague is one of my mains and favourite killers, besides billy and slinger, but out of those three only one can be screwed over significantly by chance. Imagine if, like, Billy's chainsaw had a chance of randomly overheating at any time or something.
Oh wait.

I'm very disappointed that BHVR doesn't acknowledge her existence anymore, she wasn't even mentioned during their last Q&A when they brought up killers they'd like to update or rework. If viability and popularity are factors to consider for new cosmetic releases then Plague should be at least very close to the top of that update list.

She should be pretty strong with so many garbage survivors absolutely terrified to play injured. Whenever I go against her it's like my teammates are competing to see who can cleanse the most.
