BBQ and Chili SHOULD have Two effects for Flavor

I had a great idea for this on discord, what does everyone think? It only makes sense for there to be two effects from the name. It doesn't have to be a powerful secondary

    I like this idea actually but i would made 10% haste effect rather than 8%.

    Honestly not bad at all. If be fine with it. A little booty scooty after a hook would be a nice way to promote leaving the hook and chase.

    Also, it wouldn't buff campers at all, since they are just going to sit there anyways.

    I had the idea of for every unique survivor you hook the aura reading gets a second or two longer. It would encourage the killer to not tunnel and help feel more rewarding.

    I am also for any perk changes that promotes and rewards not camping. Would be happy with this change

    I think bbq don’t get a second effect cause devs want shake up the meta so they want players to use other perks. Now a days you see bbq mostly every match.

    wglf isn’t that often so they add a second effect while remove the bp part so it’s fair compared to the killerside not to have a bp-perk.

    I like this idea. Also the Haste effect could be two-stage, a certain percentage right after the hook, and then a much greater percentage when you find a surv after going a certain distance away from the hook. Perhaps giving that second part a timeframe from the hooking for balance, like 20 seconds or so.

    I had wished that whatever secondary change they make would be unique to the first time a survivor is hooked type. Even if only for nostalgia, I want my BBQ stacks <_<

    How about instead of Bloodpoints the killer gets Shards per token instead, like four then eight then 16 then 32 maybe? That would encourage spreading the hooks out I think.

    WGLF got a second effect because its very situational in match, it requires slugging, which doesn’t happen frequently. BBQ is used all through the match no matter what, it does not need a second effect. Also, WGLF isn’t even going to be used anymore where plenty of killers will still use BBQ. I’m not really sure killer mains keep insisting they only used bbq for bp, it’s actually the opposite. Killer mains use bbq for the aura reading and the bp was the bonus. Now the bonus bp is gone and killer mains will still use this perk in high percentages. Probably 50% will still use bbq while maybe 5% will use WGLF.

    yeah, that'd be fun.

    Idk it seems a little too strong in certain situations. The killer would roll anyone who's injured nearby and get an easy snowball.

    You do realize that We're Gonna Live Forever had no effect whatsoever for 3+ years other than extra Bloodpoints, correct?

    If survivors can get a haste for unhooking without a perk, I don't see why killer shouldnt get a haste for hooking basekit or on BBQ

    Yeah well that was during the time where ANY unhook got you stacks so people would purposefully farm their teammates for stacks. Also the fact that until 2019 where they removed most the ridiculous things that made survivors completely untouchable.

    Actually a good chunk of people use BBQ and Chili specifically for the aura, not the bloodpoints. There have been a few polls about this over time and it seems like something like 40% or so of killers who use BBQ said they would use it even if it had no bloodpoint bonus just because they like its auras. (I’m not one of those killers, I like other tracking perks better, but it’s a playstyle preference.)

    This is actually a fantastic idea. Further encourages people to leave the hook.

    I was just gonna say up the aura duration to 10 seconds or something but you're idea is just as great.

    Currently with the bloodpoint component removed very few people are gonna run BBQ anymore, it's generally not good enough just for the aura reading of 4 seconds.

    That would make it viable even for killers who don't move with speed of sound... So looks good to me, but they won't do it at this point imo.

    At first i only cared about the BP. But as time went on, I got sick of only having 3 perk slots since I didn't value the aura reading, so I weaned myself off BBQ even though I wanted the BP.

    I quit BBQ for a long time, but it was Starstruck and the No Way Out changes are what got me back on it. I wanted a tracking perk that keeps me on the hunt looking for more stacks or easy downs. Then Mikaela came out and nobody cleansed anymore, so Noed, another perk that I had weaned myself off of, came back into my rotation as well.
