Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Idea: Post-Mori Feature

Here's a thought:

After performing a mori, as a fun feature, a Killer should be able to pick up the dead survivor and store them in a locker. While carrying a dead survivor the Killer has Undetectable (so they have a chance to stow the body without someone seeing). Survivors that walk in front of a locker cause the body to fall out (like the Easter Egg on Midwich Elementary School) and the survivor will scream.


This would make for some funny jumpscares, especially playing custom games with friends. I'd love to see Michael Myers (The Shape) do this personally (in addition to a Archive Chapter on him for this year's upcoming Halloween Kills movie).

    Look for this feature if we ever have an F13 chapter.

    Honestly, the corpses don't even need new animations.

    They're limp anyway. They just wouldn't make noise.

    Not entirely true. I don't think this game (maybe the engine?) has ragdoll physics? I mean, it's not something that is just baked into the game automatically.

    And given how stilted some of the moris look, I honestly think they are all hand-animated. I honestly don't think the game has ragdoll physics baked in.

    Well, picking up a Survivor leaves them limp anyway.

    I don't expect floppy ragdolls, but they could just lay there idly while being carried to emulate it.

    Sadly too time consuming at high level play. I'd be happy for the Moris to be more graphic, and the body left actually shows what happened (if doctor burnt your face with his mori you would see that on the survivors body on the floor)

    Cool idea but sadly useless for the time it takes

    Whilst this would be cool to see, I'd be concerned on time constraints - the extra time needed to do all this, is time I could be spending chasing other survivors.

    Yeah that's true. Would probably need a bit more power to be useful and worth the time. Like giving expose effect and reveal the survivor or something.

    While you could be spending this time chasing survivors remember that sacrificing all four survivors does not constitute "winning" for everyone and should not be an excuse to brush off new features. This game is lacking in the horror department and needs new mechanics that will encourage playing for fun rather than competitively for no real reward. High scoring events for a locker jumpscare/surprise could be a good incentive too!
