Ultimate Weapon unbalanced

I think it is very clear that ultimate weapon is way too unbalanced. 30 second cooldown is a joke. Maybe it should only be useable after a gen is repaired or someting like that? MFT is getting nerfed und ultimate weapon needs to be nerfed asap.

also blight needs a balance patch asap as well. Some of his addons are far too unbalanced. His movement speed should be decreased from 115% to 110%.

    I totally agree with you. I also mentioned that some of his addons are way too strong like alchemist ring. I would be happy if they balance his addons.

    MFT getting nerfed does not mean UW or any other killer perk needs to be nerfed.

    UW also really isn't even on the same level as MFT. Killers still have to take time to open a locker to activate the perk and on many maps that involves going out of the way to do so which eats up time that killers are often lacking. Not to mention the perk after fixing bugs allowing it to bypass Calm Spirit and Lockers has seen much less use overall, because the value of screaming as a tracker measure is far weaker than auras.

    I did not say that UW is overpowered in general. The cooldown is the problem. You can use UW way too much imo. They should change it. Maybe after you hook a survivor you gain 1 token and than you can use UW? Or after a gen is repaired you gain 1 token? Idk but something needs to be done.

    Killers can only activate the perk every 60 seconds. Because the 30 second cooldown doesn't kick in until the 30 second aura ends and that aura doesn't repeatedly detect survivors. If you get all 4 survivors to scream within the first 10 seconds, then you are sitting around for 50 seconds for the perk to come back.

    Making the cooldown longer or more restrictive is just going to make perk never see any use. We can already see this with a perk called Dragon's Grip that has a 30 second duration and a 80 second cooldown making it so the perk effectively has a cooldown of 110 seconds which is extremely long for a perk that exposes a single survivor that touches a specific gen.

    UW is powerful perk, but many people act like this perk giving something except map info once a minute somewhere in 32 meters from killer. It could be 20 sec of action and 40 sec of cd, but even this nerf needed for Blight and Nurse only.

    This perk doesn't help in chase, doesn't regress gens, doesn't speed me up, doesn't slow down the game, it's only info once per minute, and killer should work with this info. And no, this perk doesn't "easily beat all of info perks", cause i have way more value from Nowhere to Hide on majority of killers.

    UW is paid to win. Simple as. It is absolutely disgusting on Nurse and Blight. It needs balancing because as it is it's literally the killer putting their brains on cruise-control.

    The killers have been waiting for the nerf mft for about 4 months, now it's your time to wait.

    This perk will certainly be weakened and most likely it will happen in one of those 2 updates, I am sure that the UW will live exactly the same life cycle as the recently redesigned mft

    What is that perk, and what does it do?

    "Whenever you open a Locker, Ultimate Weapon activates for 30 seconds:

    Survivors entering your Terror Radius will scream and reveal their location to you.

    Those Survivors suffer from the Blindness Status Effect for 30 seconds.

    Ultimate Weapon has a cool-down of 40/35/30 seconds."

    It will be changed. Give it time.
