New Chapter ideas : Gettysburg

Alright my idea for a killer is like a musketeer/officer and so I thought maybe stage 1 of the killer is when you have your musket and you only have 4 shots once those 4 shots are up you have to take out a Sabre and so continue the game with that. I haven't really thought of any perks or like a back-story this is my first post so sorry if am not descriptive enough maybe you guys can come up with the perk?

    A killer with a gun possiblity is like Jason Voorhees being added: something you want but the more you think about it the more problems you face.

    How the hell would you balance a gun in a game about slasher flicks?

    He could be kind of like Huntress, instead of hatchets it's balls from the musket, of course he'd be JUST like Huntress but it sounds cool, maybe a zombie soldier with a musket.

    i wouldn't say zombie also i think the musket would be super inaccurate so it wouldn't be no cross map stuff maybe close to mid range for the musket? idk my friends who also play dbd said it would be a cool concept saying I should post it on the forums.

    also maybe he carries a backpack or something like that his movement speed is slow sorry for a double reply

    If you remeber how muskets worked, they were horribly inaccurate, took forever to reload, and were kinda just glorified spears after the first two shots. 

    Easy way to balance it would be stationary reload time, slow reload time, accuracy. Though these would pribably just make the killer VERY weak, unless they made it accurate if they could aim, but couldn’t move fast while aimed.

    that's not bad really, I kinda like that since I think the slow reload time would be kinda balanced and cant move fast whilst aimed also what do you think of the Sabre idea once he is out of ammo for the musket? or should he just mainly just use the musket

    Attach a bayonet to the musket and call it good. 

    Maybe even use that as the Mori. Impale withthe musket near their face, and then shoot em.

    Maybe have a perk that can charge in and hear a loud scream then get impaled?

    If there were a Southern colonel in the game, I'd main him, musket or not :)

    I assume you mean Add on? 

    And that could be a cool ultra rare. No more shooting, but can instead do a charge and instadown someone.

    Actually on the subject of the Civil War, I was thinking maybe the prison at Andersonville.
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andersonville_National_Historic_Site

    The stuff that went on there I'm sure The Entity would find endearing.

    Stuart lawrence morl was a confederate musketeer who joined when he was only 16 his family was torn apart by a divorce. And so he left for war to run away he kept quiet, then one day out of anger killed his friends in his unit. Then once they found out he became a POW(prisoner of war). After that he escaped wandering into the forest to find a new life he was never seen again. Good no maybe idk its like 7:20 im sick
