Giving The Pig a new trap
I'm rewatching Saw 3, and it would be interesting to expand the Pig's powers in some ways.
1) Give the Pig an alternate head trap. You could shift between them like you switch the Clown's chemical bottles. The Shotgun Necklace trap would be an interesting one. In the movie the character with it on has it set to trigger if Jigsaw dies. What if this one triggered if another survivor died? Obviously you can go to a puzzle cage to remove them and not worry, and it won't have a timer, but it will kill you if another survivor dies through a More or on a hook. It would be a choice of self preservation and removing the trap vs altruism and focusing on saving characters in place of you.
2) You could alternatively give the pig a syringe to stab someone with that slows their movement down unless they acquire a cure from a puzzle cage. This reminds me of the second film where everyone in the house is dying from a poison which effects them negatively, and they had to put themselves into a dangerous situation to find a cure.
3) Make it so that when you interact with a puzzle box that you are injured after. The point of saw is that you survive if you are willing to harm yourself and push through the pain. Maybe you can either acquire a PERMANENT status effect for the rest of the game when you solve one, or maybe it can always decrease your health state by one level if you interact with it, successful or not?
I feel the pig is fun but not as strong as other killers and these might be potential good suggestions to improve their ranking in the game.

I would like it to be like the first option, but the difference of giving it 8 traps in total, but I would give it more the mask trap in saw 2 than the necklace trap in saw 3, I mean, it would be good to make the most of its main power instead of ducking and ambushing a survivor.

Really it wouldn't be the worst to include both the Iron Maiden Trap from 2 AND the Shotgun Necklace from 3. The issue with the Iron Maiden Mask is that it would do the same thing as the Reverse Bear Trap so it wouldn't add a new mechanic to the game, just a different graphical effect

Maybe the Iron Maiden Mask can be a part of a legendary skin?
