Redheads pinky finger is a bit too strong
There’s barely any counter play, especially if the Clown can keep on slowing survivors until he eventually gets a direct hit for an insta-down
I think some healthy changes would include things like
- Limit the maximum amount of bottles you can throw before reloading by 1 (similar to Huntress Iri head)
- gas clouds no longer slow survivors, because right now being exposed and slowed is a guaranteed death sentence
I think one of those changes would keep the add- on strong but not oppressive like it’s current state

Cap bottles at 2 (no more gin bottle) and reduce the gas spread by 20% and it would be fine
Honestly cigar box is debatably stronger. That add-on is crazy good

Honestly, Pinky Finger could do with a full rework at this point. It's a bit too strong with Gin Bottle but feels generally terrible to use without bottle addons.

He wastes time trying to get a direct hit, better off just getting them in the gas and trying to m1

Yeah it might need one. It could give clown all his bottles back after a successful hook instead which would be a nice time save

That'd be a really nice effect for an addon but I don't think it'd fit an ultra rare personally, unless it had another effect as well.
Maybe if they reworked Makeup Kit to do that and made Solvent Jug +2 seconds to invigorated like they were going to do, but they didn't want to buff Makeup Kit.

He wastes very little time if he slows before hand. Getting a direct isn’t hard when the survivor is slowed and the instadown is invaluable especially to a killer who lack a lot of lethality

I'm still all for an addon that lets him drink the speed gas, instead of an instadown

the counter-play is not being in dead-zones. clown also has cooldown when he throws a bottle. you can use this cooldown to medium vault windows. you camp strong windows like shack. He can technically m1 you to injure you but that prevents his instant down from working thus defeating purpose of instant down(similar to billy chainsaw). you can force clown to m1 you in many cases at loops and distant bottle throws are not that difficult to dodge if your not hindered.

All you need is a competent Clown and you wont have any gameplay as Survivor.
bHVR should change this addon, change it to something like bottle hits increase intoxication duration.

That would do much tbh assuming you can play clown well. Using his antidote well means survivors never get a chance to take it unless they want to get hit

You are talking about clown? One of the worest kiler atm? A basic m1 killer?
Pinky is a red addon so rare+he have to hit you with a bottle + he have to hit you with m1.
gas clouds no longer slow survivors, because right now being exposed and slowed is a guaranteed death sentence
That would take the addon from A to D tier, because that makes it pretty unusable.
Limit the maximum amount of bottles you can throw before reloading by 1 (similar to Huntress Iri head)
But Huntress axe has a higher range + flys more straight and less in a curve AND DOWNS WHEN IT HITS.
With clown bottel you still have to make the m1 attack. For example you could hit 1 player with a bottel but a other bodyblocks you.
You have to keep in mind that what Pinkyfinger makes so strong is that it blocks 2 addon spaces. Because you have to play it with a more flask addon or its pretty weak. On his own basicly all purple addons and alot of green are better than it.
Thats true for most killers. A competent Nurse or Pyramidehead is (in my opinion) way more dangeous. Against clown you can be a competent survivor, against a good nurse not.

I find that the killers' weapons should be replaced with teddy bears, as they are too dangerous; the number of generators should be decreased by 4, and the number of hatch increased by 30.
