A concept for an additional ability of The Pig

Ability is called:

I Want to play a game

After placing Four Reverse Bear Traps (RBT from this point onward) I WANT TO PLAY A GAME becomes available to activation.

Two out of Four Jigsaw Boxes will be highlighted in Yellow. Stand in front one of them and press Right Mouse Button to activate I WANT TO PLAY A GAME.

Upon activation all players hear Jigsaw say 'I want to play a game' after which all RBT's that are currently not active - activate.

Up to Four generators with the least amount of progress are blocked by the entity and start regressing. If there is only 3-4 not repaired generators on the map then the generator with the most progress wont be blocked, but all survivors currently repairing will scream and become affected by an Incapacitated status effect for 15 seconds.

Generators will remain blocked until one of following events accur:

  1. Survivors with active RBT on their successfully remove them.
  2. Survivors wearing active RBT die or disconnected.
  3. Survivors finish repairing a generator.

If I WANT TO PLAY A GAME is activated after all generators are repaired, all RBT become active, but Jigsaw boxes highlighted in Yellow aura will be destroyed leaving only two of them for survivors to search.


I'm sorry if it's too confusing and complex.

Also I'm hoping for a replies that talk in depth about what you liked or disliked in this.

    When you use your last trap the chances are high 2-3 have already removed theirs so at best the one you just placed will become active.

    Blocking 3-4 gens with the least progress? So the one that you need blocked don't get blocked and IF there are anymore with progress (I can't think of any trial where 5 gens had progress at once (Especially towards EG where this would probably activate).

    Idk as much as I want NEW mechanics I have more faith I will hit the Mega Millions then new mechanics happening.

    I like the idea of changing the mechanics of the pig.

    I don't understand your mechanics you are trying to explain. I do like the idea that the traps are triggered when the killer decides, not from gens being triggered. Having some game mechanics triggered called "Would You Like to Play a Game" and have a new mechanic sounds much more entertaining than what we have now.

    The crouch/lunge attack mechanic is almost completely useless and garbage. There are tons of better ideas out there; (trap windows that can cause damage or injured state), trap a generator that can cause damage/injured state if a failed skill check, some/all hooks have a camera on them and give vision of survivors, Jigsaw hooks instead of boxes that have some scourge hook effect.

    That's why you should choose very carefully when to activate it.

    Also I said with the least progress so that you can instantly go and chase people of the last unblocked gen and maybe even camp.

    What I was trying to go for is extreme high risk - high reward. But it seems I failed somewhere along the way.

    And I dare call my self a Pig main...
