Adrenaline Vial On Blight
Is the worst experience I have EVER had with Blight. I even used the other add-on to considerably increase the turn-rate and it still felt so awful. Even with it, I could barely turn enough to hit stuff. NEVER again will I use that.

Honestly that should have been his brown addon. The other one still sucks. But adrenaline vial puts a whole other meaning on shooting yourself in the foot.

I still to this day do not understand why the devs even made that add-on.

shouldve listened to the quote

I think the add-on is kinda cool, it changes his playstyle into 100% pinball man.
However, it's definitely hard to use, and very miserable to play with at the moment with Blight's sliding.

I’ve read expert Blight players praise this add on. I don’t personally play Blight, but apparently (according to them) the ability to look all around whilst rushing is invaluable in planning their next Rush, and to keep track of a survivor.

Now Pair Adrenaline Vial with the Placebo Tablet and you get the "Gamer Stereotype" Build:
An overweight man Relying on his weight loss tablets, energy drink addiction, and "1337 Sk1llZ" to take on the survivors with such an ego he "Never loses except to Hackers!"
It's the hardest time you will ever have playing Blight, and, Just like with the Burger King Myers or Heavy Smoker Nurse builds, if you actually get a kill with it... YOU FREAKING EARNED IT!
Edit: Bonus Points if you also trash talk the survivors when they escape, accuse them of cheating, and exaggerate your "1337 Sk1llZ" when they retort.

I think that quote fits it pretty damn well on how I felt after using it and couldn't move almost at all, left or right lol.

The problem with it is, when you bounce, it's almost impossible even with the other add-on to actually turn to bounce off another object. It's like you bounce and you're pushing left or right but instead of swaying, you just barely get any kind of movement and you're getting sucked straight ahead. Once you bounce, you better pray to the Entity that you're facing an object to bounce off of because if you aren't... well, have fun XD

My understanding is that it’s the “expert” version of Compound 7. The Blight should already have planned where he’s rushing/bouncing off of, and while rushing Blight freely looks around to plan where to rush next, or see where the survivor already is. By the time Blight hits a “bounce”, the intention is there to be no delay in launching into the next rush because you are already facing the required direction.
I’m not able to pull this off myself because I don’t play him regularly enough, and I find rushing sideways extremely nauseating.

Oh, the brown add-on. I thought it was worthless lol. Now I can see why those together would be really nasty. Pretty much, auto-aim.
1 -
No no, that’s not what I mean, although there’s nothing stopping someone from using them together.
Compound 7 simply auto aims.
Adrenaline Vial allows Blight to plan where to rush next before even bouncing off of something by already looking exactly where he wants to be going. I.e. it’s compound 7 with manual control at the expense of how freely you can curve your rush.

Another Fun Fact about Adrenaline Vial is that If you turn your camera and Lunge, you will immediately break out of the path you are going and lunge in the direction you're looking. It's a fun way to throw off survivors who think they just dodged you only to have you jump right up on them from behind. That's the real trick to using Adrenaline vial effectively, that and planning where you are going to bounce incase you miss the survivor ahead of initiating the rush. It REALLY increases your learning curve with him, but it can come in handy... It's just frustrating as hell to use.

Thing is, being an expert Blight, part of the many skills you have to learn is adjusting your positioning mid-rush while planning where to bump and reacting to survivor movement in a small amount of time. An "expert" Blight will never always know where they want to bump because that's not what an expert Blight is all about. Making the perfect, slight adjustments on the fly within extremely small time windows based on a limited amount of information that's constantly changing (survivor movement and the environment around you as you move) is something that Adrenaline Vial completely takes away.
They have officially stated that the purpose of the addon is to literally just make him a full on pinball machine, where you cannot turn.

Yes, you move in pretty much a 100% straight line. But you can be turning/tracking with your camera the whole time, preparing for exactly where you going next upon bouncing. I.e. no delay looking where to rush next during the bounce. Just immediately launch into the next rush.
But also, fair enough, I’m not a Blight player here. This is just based off anecdotes from Blights that never take Adrenaline Vial off, and praise the crap out of it.

This add-on is garbage. I can't believe it's a green, but at the same time I'm thankful for that because it means it will be rarer, because there's no way I'm using it.
2 -
Those guys must be trolling. Whether they are or not, they've pretty much cemented it as an add-on, because the devs will hear them praising it and think, "We'll just leave it as is" instead of replacing it with an actual usable green add-on.

Keep in mind that these are the same devs who left iri head in the game for years before making it worthless.

And the same devs who made Iridescent Family Crest.

I actually got blights adept using adrenaline vial and I think placebo tablet. It was annoying, but good fun.

they should've made it have blight go faster so that hes more like a bullet

The camera movement doesn't matter. It's useful for getting really really large turns in your lunges, but the fact that your rush turning is basically eliminated makes this "upside" garbage, as turning during the rush is far more important for getting into positioning to lunge than camera control is. You have more than enough camera control and tracking in the basekit, so that extra camera movement is not needed at all. The best tracking addon for Blight is Compound, which is for survivors behind obstructions. Any survivor that's out in the open, you can track just fine WITH crazy good turning that you have and the benefit of other incredibly good addons.
The great thing about Blight's controls is that his turning follows right behind his camera, so when you turn your camera, you'll begin turning a second afterward. It's not at all like Billy, for example, who has his camera and turning locked together. Thus, expert Blights hip-bump instead of head-on bump, which essentially gives them more camera control while they drift their hip into the object that they want to collide in, which allows them to quickly adjust their camera position while Rushing to immediately break into their NEXT Rush without having to make any/little adjustments during the slam, saving them loads of time and getting them hits that they may have not gotten otherwise if they collided into an object head-on. This is entirely impossible with Adrenaline Vial, as a huge part of this technique is the fact that you can turn in your rush. Speaking from experience!
All the things that you can do with the improved look angle is all possible without it AND more. The hip-bump technique you're describing is definitely not exclusive to Adren Vial, though it may just require slightly more precise timing without it, which is no problem at all.
Who's praising Adren Vial? I would like to hear their arguments lol

Been using the slam one that allows me to see people highlighted. Its AMAZING.

very very good addon!

So far, I've done some sick surprise hits on people using it XD I couple it with the slam add-on that allows a longer time before fatiguing and watch to see where they're gonna go and WHAM! LMAO. Had 2 groups say I was cheating XD

I love the addon, if I ever wanted to roll play as someone in a constant state of pain and existential dread. I'd use it

No no no. This add-on is hit or miss. Especially on the map.
1.) His charges regenerate insanely fast, and he gains more charges altogether (7). Usually by the time he finishes sticking himself after rushing twice (Dropping from 7 to 5) he can rush again. Meaning short, closed area rushes that don’t require too much turning are excellent with this add on. Especially if he speeds up every time. You’ll hit survivors before they can react a lot of times.
2.) You can definitely zip around the map to find people for sure. You psyche players out because they think you can only rush 5 times. If combined with Rat/Crow he moves at god tier speed. Again, hitting players wandering around before they can react. This works really well with ToT, Tinkerer, Dark Devotion, Nurses, Stridor, and Spies. Things that allow aura reading while hiding his own TR.
3.) You can also strike players at weird angles you normally couldn’t. Places survivors think they’re safe. This is due to his odd turning. He’ll slide around a merry go round and hit anyway. Most times he’ll crash into a solid wall for you if you turn him just a little bit. The down side being you lose sight of them while continuing to rush. However, if you can anticipate where they might be (Like Nurse) then this wouldn’t matter as much. So it’s best to use the adrenaline to catch them when they’re running on unsafe tiles, etc.
Adrenaline SUCKS in open areas like corn maps, red forest, etc. Maps where you have to make sharp turns to hit survivors out in wide open areas where they can spin you all day. Maps with lots of junk lying around like Azarov’s, or Asylum? Oooh yeah. You’ll get all type of insane hits with his rushes. I stopped using them because I ran out. Much like Nurse the add on changes your whole muscle memory. So if you want to use adrenaline vials you have to dedicate to this play style, and only use him when you have them.
Tbh I wish such add ons were purchasable, or not as rare. As some of them change how the killer plays altogether, and having a limited amount means you can’t master that playstyle unless you keep getting them. I think this is just plain stupid.
