Add New Items for Survivors!

With DBD every chapter included a new killer and survivors with new perks perks but how about new items for survivors?

A Flare gun would be a new ranged Item for survivors that once shot the flare left on the ground would be bright blinding killers if they stare in the direction of the flare.

— Only with two uses, with add ons you could add more flares, make them brighter or shoot farther distances or make them stay lit longer on the ground

A Knife would be a new/replacement kind of item for decisive with it still being able to stab the killer after they have tunneled you.

— With only one use, with add ons you can leave a status effect on killer such as making them slower or decreasing their FOV

A Smoke grenade would provide easier was to escape from the killers site and will especially help when trying to unhook a survivor who is being tunnel or camped

— With only two uses, with add one you can make them last longer or have a bigger radius

A Cupcake/Tomato… Now this item is a silly one but also pretty function🤣 This Item when thrown at the killer will blind not like a flashlight but like the squids do in Mario kart do. The killer would have to clean their face/screen to remove the effect making it easier to escape as they would have to stop for the prompt to remove the affect.

All comments are appreciated negative or positive!

    I am all for new items! Have made several suggestions/concepts of my own (though too lazy to get the links right now)

    the devs have once stated that survivors items are the ‚equivalent‘ to killers powers, and we have plenty of different powers and.. just a few items that besides the flashlight and maybe sabo toolboxes don’t really bring interesting dynamic to matches

    Yes exactly! I haven’t seen anyone ever use maps or broken keys just mainly toolboxes flashlights and Medkits, to only have just 3 items can are useful makes it less diverse and mostly makes survivors constant have the same build
