Should more killers be in 3rd person?
Honestly just having alot of fun with Chucky and I'm glad we have a killer in 3rd person view

Nope.
It makes sense with Chucky because otherwise you would have a really low PoV (which was one of the reasons why people always thought that Chucky was not really possible to realize, yet BHVR made a clever solution).
I mean, if they add a Killer where it also would make sense because otherwise they dont play as good, sure, they should add a 3rd person view. But for most Killers I think 1st person should be the way to go.

Yes.
This could be fun.
A few short killers in the game come to mind, who are overly oppressed by bushes and shrubs and other spiteful ground cover.

I would say Sadako and Xeno, since it can get slightly disorienting after coming out of a tv/tunnel

I feel it should only be used for tiny killers like Chucky, not needed otherwise.

You can find some modded games on YT where people have gone third person on DBD killers. You can see why it'll never be the case, it was super easy mode.

The only killer who needs 3rd person view right now is probably Victor.

Nope. 3rd person should be for only short killers and it's Chucky atm. Maybe Victor also can use this pov.

What a weird statement. You don't play as Victor the whole time.

Short answer is no.

Nope. A killer being playable in 3rd person is practically a power, in and of itself. And its a very powerful power at that. So it's probably for the best that this "power" stays exclusive to Chucky

Hag because shes so small

Killers in generally is alot higher than survivors, even with Medium height like Spirit/Legion are higher than survivors.
If killers have 3rd person view, mean their camera height is even higher (which is a buff).
Or, to make 3rd person view without increasing the height, killers' models would be smaller (which is also a buff).
Hag isnt small, the stooping pose, with higher camera view from survivors make she looks small.
Hag v Spirit

no... but since it has its advantages, I believe it could make a good perk.

Nah. Just make more short killers. Now I want to see The Leprechaun. The Leprechaun is like Knight where he has multiple powers he can rotate between. Each survivor can steal a piece of his Gold from his pot in order to reduce the effectiveness of his power, or prevent the use of certain powers. Leprechaun can:
Teleport back to his pot to place his Gold back in.
Turn himself invisible, or into another survivor to deceive players. As another living survivor Leprechaun has no TR.
Drop pallets down on survivors to cut them off for a second.
Set dropped pallets on fire. If a survivor vaults across the flame pallet they will lose a health state.

Not really possible. Or at least it would require tons of effort. This is what the 3rd person of a Killer looks like (there was a Bug a few years ago which showed the 1st person-model of the Killer while loading in):
You see Pyramid Head in the Thumbnail and he is not feeling well.
Some Killers just look goofy, others look displaced. This is basically what the Killer has to look like so that the first person-view is possible with what we currently see as Killer.
If they would create a Perk which lets Killers play in 3rd person, they would need to make a second set of animations for each Killer when the Perk is used. Furthermore, there are some Killers which change stances (e.g. Pig when crouching, Legion while running, Ghostface while in and out of Stealth (plus leaning), especially Xenomorph...). You would have to create a second view for all of them AND make sure it does not look too bad when in 3rd person.
Let alone that there could be more issues, e.g. with very tall Killers like Myers or Nemesis. Their camera would float above them, so they might see way more than intended or in certain Maps you would clip through Walls with the camera.

If it has a weird gimmick may be. (Jaws swiming on land??)
As something for a regular killer no.

I wouldn't be against reworking Victor to be third person. He's a power rather than a killer, so it wouldn't be unreasonable.
But apart from that, it wouldn't work for many. Maybe if we ever got M3gan or Annabelle as killers.
I would like more killers with unique functions though. Like Predator with thermal vision, or the Quiet Place creatures with sonar.

Now I'm just imagining how many ppl would say it would be reasonable for the quiet place creatures to just have a black screen and rely completely on sound.

Maybe Victor could get it. Other than that, no, 1st person should remain as the general rule. 3rd person just makes sense for Chucky because of how small he is, and his size is only fair because of the footstep mechanic existing.
