Disguising killer: Just how would it work out?
How would a proper disguising killer work out?
This is just a very quick post i wanted to pop out to get some ideas for somethin i'm workin on.
So, how would a disguising killer work out?
Am i GoobyNugget? Or pehaps I am someone different, just a shadow of the person I once was? nah, GoobyNugget.

Extremely good against Solo's, bad against SWF.
Disguising would have to be a secondary power.

honestly, if that was their secondary power it could work out pretty well, but as a primary power, just like @Pulsar said above, it would just be worthless anytime you run into a SWF.
imo Legion should just get it as a secondary power.
that way Legion gets the buff they need and their trailer finally makes sense.

Swf= Not well especially on comms
Solos= Likely very well
What kind of disguise are we talking about? If it's a disguise that would clone a Character then it might work in certain situations, more likely to work if you could Feign actions
The problem, I'm not too sure how a disguise would help in Chases? Can you attack whilst disguised but it knocks you out of power like Ghostface? Or can the Killer swap to a random killer for a limited amount of time and use they're power?
Please do make a follow up on your ideas! Always wanted a disguise killer in DBD so I'd like to see what you come up with.

I was thinking a clone disguise, you'd be able to perfectly replicate the survivor you are disguised as, and you can "sabotage" gens and other stuff. This idea of mine first started out as a Hacker killer concept of mine, but I really just did not like the power that I made for it, so I just scrapped the power and hacker idea and started workin on somethin new.
Chapter concept This was the original post I made about it a looong time ago.

I do like the idea of a killer that sabotages objectives, perhaps they can sabotage the exit gates? Or even dropped items(Damn nag those keys) all whilst remaining undetected. Sounds interesting imo, just wish there would be a way for the power to work around SWF's using comms.
I'll check out the concept now

it should have something that cancel swf. otherwise it will be useless

What if the power was similar to The Twins?
You disguise yourself as a fake gen and then become a survivor yourself with all of the same actions as them. You repair the fake gen and lure others into helping you. That's when you strike.
You would have to look like survivors from the lobby, but if Claudette sees herself she would automaticaly know, so each survivor sees a random survivor that isn't themself.
----
The counter is simple and effective: split up on gens. This killer would be gen-rushed.
And, again. This wouldn't work aginst SWF.
The SWF team can agree beforehand to perform a secret sequence of actions/emotes to prove they're real before working on gens together.
Wow, SWF really killed this game...
The devil won't let you hang out with your buds in hell. Why should the Entity?? 🤦♂️

If someone is soloing as a survivor and there's a killer who can randomly transform into what looks like one of the other three strangers, only for said stranger to sabotage generators and / or attack the solo player, what's the counterplay? What defense does the solo player have against this?

It would have to gens, totems, lockers, chest ect..., instead of survivors. Mind you I play on xbox, but as solo people randomly invite me to parties so even if it was a solo q only type killer, stuff like that would still counter it if they could disguise as survivors. Maybe it could be like the mimic from dark souls?

There are simply too many hurdles to overcome, so it wouldn't work from a gameplay standpoint. It's a great idea though.

Swf counters pretty much everything and sadly this is no exception.

Primary ability would be like Demogorgon's Shred ability.
Second ability when you activated it makes you undetectable and disguise as the Survivor furthest away from you.
After you have been disguised for ~15 seconds, if you are within ~10 metres of a Survivor you lose your disguise.
While you are a clone you have a thirdperson camera, vault like a Survivor, cannot basic attack, but can still use the Shred Ability. Using the Shred ability while disguised breaks the disguise and if it hits a Survivor it puts them into the Dying state.
Notes: Having the disguise being part of its chase power makes it work even against SWF. Having the thirdperson camera allows for the Killer to act like a Survivor via moonwalking lol. Going to think tank this more, might post a full chapter later.
Thoughts?

They should just add a prop hunt game mode

Jesus I read this as "Disgusting" a million times lol but the devs has said that a disguising killer wouldn't work the best, but I could see it working well as a secondary power with something else being the main power.

I would love to be a random survivor for a bit as a secondary power. Yeah, SWFs would still allow them to get a big close before running, which is what you want. Its like Wraiths' cloaking. You just need it to get close.

I have always thought a killer based on.the monster from the movie it follows would be cool. Basically, every time you see it it might
look different randomly. It wouldn't work because the game would have to load all the models into the match, but the first time you see it it might be the trapper or Feng min, then during chase you.lose sight of it and next time you see it its David King. It could work if it switched between models of characters in the match, but it would just be a cool effect mostly because of swf

It wouldn't, against a SWf.
