Has anyone ever gone against a Pig using both Jigsaw Box add-ons?
I've just started using them myself and they may be even more broken than Tampered Timer + Crate of Gears.
Sure, the green one increases the death timer to 3 minutes. But the survivor now has to search up to a whopping 6 traps! If they get unlucky on certain big maps then it can become physically impossible to remove the Reverse Bear Trap before they die. Especially if they happen to get caught while searching one.
And even if they don't die they still waste more time removing the trap and not doing gens because of how much ground they have to cover to search the boxes.
If any Pig mains read this and haven't tried them out, do so and give your experience with them.

Pig's focus on the instant death party hats makes their add-ons either completely useless like the utility blade or razor wire.
But if they aren't useless they are insanely unfun such as the tampered timer and the crate of gears or last will(More annoying since someone gets a party hat twice).
I'd rather have her add-ons buff her stealth/ambush then her party hats/boxes.

Pig Main here, actually experimenting on a build called Side Quest Pig or totem pig. Hex undying, Ruin, Devour, and thrill.
Addons, those two mentioned.
The idea is to overwhelm the players with too many side missions to do/work on. deal with ruin so you can work faster, deal with devour so you dont die later on, deal with ruin or thrill so you can deal with the other hexes, get your trap off your head so you dont die.
been pretty fun in my opinion but its heavily rng dependent.

That add-on combination is supposed to be a secret...

I have used them in the past
I did get a couple of kills with it, But the majority of the time the survivors got the trap off in time
I got a few kills with Combat Straps and Videotape before as well (I know this was unrelated)

I normally play Pig with Ruin/Undying, but I've been sprinkling in Devour to the mix as well in some matches for the same reasons. My sample size has been somewhat small, but in nearly every match, I'm either getting a ton of value out of Ruin or Devour even after the survivors break two of the totems. Despite the luck factor, there's just enough slowdown with the traps and Undying keeping something alive, that even on the maps that have bad totem spawns, it's worked better than expected. I'd like to see that (or with TOTH added in) played out on a map like Midwich, Glenvale, or Lery's (where totem spawns can be downright nasty).

I have a small sample size as well, ive just been playing on smaller maps sadly but im excited to get a large map. Thats where the RTB kills will be plentiful.

It's good, but I think I prefer using Crate of Gears over the Annotated Plan. You only have a 16% chance of having to search all six boxes. I'd rather make Survivors take longer at each box.

Yeah I think that’s how the math turns out. 5 boxes tampered timer is 20% chance to die, crate of gears tampered timer is 25% chance to die, 6 boxes is 16% chance to die. Assuming it’s activated on the hook.
I’m not sure what 5 boxes crate of gears would be, but I think it’s only 3.5 seconds extra on each? So worse than 30 seconds off with tampered timer. I still imagine they will usually have time to search 4 of them for a 20% chance to die but who knows depending on the map.
I think only having 4 boxes to patrol can be a good thing too, if multiple traps are active.

hmm... I need to try this.

For me, it's not even in terms of killing Survivors (even though yes, that IS my favorite part of playing Pig). It's more that the second box add-on does not accomplish as much as Crate of Gears. Yes, it overall increases the average number of boxes that need to be searched (which is a good thing), but it will still be comparable enough to using Sketch/Annotated Plan by itself that IMO it is better to spend the second slot on making sure it will take longer for them to search through the boxes.

The RNG gods typically smile on me when I play against The Pig. Its rare when I still have a bear trap on my head after the second box has been checked.
