What would y’all think of a shooter killer?
I’m wondering what everyone would think of a killer with a variety of guns like an undead soldier or something, or a corrupt gangster seeking revenge. Thoughts?

Like a actual fire arm with bullets or something like slinger? Because if it's just a gun then no that would be impossible to balance. If it's something like slinger I'd be curious to see what they come up with

This. Plus do we need another ranged killer that sucks on controller? Ever try Trickster with one?

Well I don’t see the balancing argument since this is a game where people casually survive chainsaws to the back, I would argue that being punctured by a harpoon is more deadly than being shot with a gun.

I mean..the core of the game is really built on melee rather than ranged. There are ranged killers but the majority are one and done shots that either damage or miss with some cooldown in between. The only ranged killer who is not that style is extremely unpopular and is derided as being extremely weak in many loops and oppressively strong in the open/dead zones. I don't see how you don't just make trickster 2.0 where he needs X bullet hits to deal a health state and his gun fires at rate R. Which is basically just a re-skinned trickster or I'd love to hear how this potential power could work and not be busted.

We basically have a shooter ruleset:
If it works in one hit, it needs to be clunky and slow and super telegraphed to dodge: Huntress
If it can down you will quickly, it needs to fractions of a health state and take many hits: Trickster
If it can work from far away and the shot is quick, it can't deal damage: Deathslinger.

Former Trickster main here.
Yes. It sucks. Quite a lot. PC Trickster mains are few a far between. But being good with aiming is how to be best at Trickster.
With that being said, Trickster is essentially the "gun" killer with a "automatic gun" power that could be balanced in a game like DbD. He has multiple "ammo rounds" and "reloads" at lockers. He "shoots" out knives that require multiple "shots" to take a health state.

So you tried Trickster on PC with a controller? For me on Xbox his recoil is completely random and unpredictable, as well as very severe. Now add in frame drop issues and it's like impossible to group his shots. Plus no strafing. He's just a nightmare on console.

I think Deathslinger is as much 'shooter' as this game needs. Mechanically Trickster is probably the closest too, with his rapid fire. I'm not sure any other permutation would work. You either have slow single shots that remove health states like Slinger, with limitations, or you have partial health state projectile like Trickster.
Not to mention, I'd never play it because I'm on console.

What about tanks? Or F16?

Someone else finally said it 😭😭😭
Idc if Trickster is annoying, the dude needs more readjustments

Would be a cool ultra rare addon

idd love a Killer with a BIG GUN.

Would need to be a sniper surely? Given it'll have to be a 1 shot weapon. Suppose you could have a 50's gangster with a tommygun which fires a bit like Tricksters special ability.

Sounds bland and uninteresting.

It would be hard to balance. It'd either be horrendously broken, or more likely nerfed into uselessness.
