The Unknown Feedback

It's an overall issue.

hook, teleport back, tunnel, repeat yummy I love it

I'll repost what I said elsewhere:

I do think it's power is fun, but I admit it's extremely easy to avoid and it doesn't have anything to do with dispelling weakness.

Most of my chases would last a ton of time because I wouldn't hug walls for hits through walls, easy to avoid snipes and if it had a clear shot I could just run at it, go through the projectile, and go back to my safe loop or pallet before it could M1 again. I got downed eventually, sure, but it's incredibly easy to do 2-3 gen chases against it.

And playing it, I can't really do any fun builds without gens flying and as usual, would need to rely in two or three gen regression/stalling perks unless survivors really mess up and don't mindgame your shots.

Basically in all, the power is fun, facing him is fun, but due to the fast-paced nature of the game, map sizes being large and all the other aspects that SHOULDN'T be changed due to how other killers work, he suffers a bit more for his ranged attack requiring so much commitment for as much work as the Nemesis tentacle.

Edit: I will say though, the Blurry Photo addon may need to be watched. A decent counter for his teleport is the delay before he can do much, and I managed to get some nasty downs because of the 50% reduction. I wouldn't say it's a major concern yet, something to keep an eye on though.

After playing some games with Unknown I feel like we need to wait a few more weeks to really gather his true strength.

As for his perks, the only decent one is Unforeseen and it's more a sidegrade option to Trail of Torment.

Unbound lasting only 30 seconds when most of the time you hit a survivor and they run away from the tile doesn't really make it that helpful to catching a survivor at a strong window.

Undone is okay, I guess. It's going to be more effective against newer survivors who can struggle to hit skillchecks. I guess it could be decent on Doctor with an anti-skillcheck build.

I find playing against and with him pretty fun so far, he doesn't feel to oppressive in chase (at least the one's i saw) and still seems to be quite good if used right.

I don't know what to say to his addons I played mostly without them. But I'll see if I find something interessting.

Besides that I love how awful and goofy his design is. His voicelines are super funny for me. The fact that his hallucinations disappear after tapping them gets even funnier when you do a "meep" or "boop" every time xD

So great killer, I love him!

killer's grenade is too powerful of a projectile. can easily combo a 1-2 knockout with it because of the range and lack of requirement for a direct impact.

not much else to say about the killer. i'll have to experience it more.

perks wise...

i feel like soft caps are going to be needed in the near future for some specific combinations.

obviously skill check counter builds are going to be powerful with this new killer's perks. relentless storm comes to mind.

then of course there's the issue of haste stacking. chucky's haste perk when near completed generators and play with your food might make for a frustrating combination on the right killers. like trickster, trapper, or huntress? or maybe even legion. though mend isn't a big deal. injured by any means is quite the blank check.

the generator terror radius ability is meh. but as a stealth killer user i take any form of undetectable i can get. pyramid head's perk just seems better.

Least killed killer to use in the game by far the radius and cooldown gives you no chance to escape and they complain about skull merchant

I disagree. I didn’t mind skull merchant chapter, I loved singularity chapter, I hate knight but he’s a cool mechanic that’s new to the game. I hate alien but he’s dope. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think behavior brings a lot of good to the game too

I like him. He’s a little clunky tho in regards to UVX. Direct hits should be more rewarding. Passing through their body is meh.

Hallucinations auras shouldn’t be seen by survivors. If they moved on their own that would be cool too or if they chased the nearest survivor.

It's too easy to get out of the Weakened state, especially in maps where there are open areas and short wall loops (like the new Greenville Square). It's too easy for survivors to loop or hold W while looking at the general direction of the killer. This, coupled with the cooldown of the power, sometimes requires a quick shot because you know they're just about to break out of Weakened. Maybe survivors shouldn't be able to stare down the killer and lose the state if the Killer is carrying a survivor or something. There are many scenarios that give survivors a free stare down, even breaking a pallet in a chase is enough so that when you get closer they're already out of the Weakened effect.

Direct hits are less rewarded than "close call" hits. In fact, direct hits are barely rewarded since most of the time the UVX goes right through the survivor and the AoE doesn't affect them. The hindered effect, sadly, isn't even enough to close the distance anyway, so there's literally not a single scenario where it's worth going for a direct hit. I think Direct Hits should be buffed so that more skilled plays are encouraged. I've literally had cases where I sniped survivors from very far away, but the UVX only hindered them. In my opinion, it would've been better if the UVX exploded on contact with a larger area of effect, so you're encouraged to go for more skilled shots.

It's hilarious how these killers are made, so he teleports, has a range ability that also does damage while also being AoE ability and bouncing from walls. Literally no fun playing against this killer, if only that bs wasn't AoE and a bit more skillbased so you have to actually hit someone it wouldn't be that horrible LOL

I feel like Unknown is in a pretty good state. I think he will be powerful in the right hands once players have had more time to practice him. It’s another Singularity situation imo, where the killer is difficult to play but can be powerful if you've mastered them.

As for Unknown's perks:

Unforeseen is a really good perk.

Undone I still wish had a different way of getting tokens, as it is it's basically only usable on Doctor or with some other skillcheck-oriented build, unless you're going against new players.

Unbound would be a little better if it activated after each time you hit a survivor, right now it only activates when you put a healthy survivor in the injured state (it's like Hysteria, where it doesn't work when you down a survivor, only when you injure them) which means even Myers can't really use it very well because he instadowns people and can't activate the perk that way because it bypasses injured state entirely.

I'm really enjoying the Unknown. His power is really cool because you can get very unexpected snips and teleports to surprise survivors. Its skillceilling is also quite fair while his power is quite strong. But he has still some issues

The Power:

Nevertheless, The Unknown has some issues: Firstly, the slowdown for charching and discharching its power feels so clumsy/not smooth. It would be great when you could reduce the slowdown to make it more smooth and not so punishing. Speaking of clumsy, I feel like the Blurry Photo Add-On should be half or completly basekit because it makes the teleport so much smoother. Another issue is the Weakened-timer; I am an Artistmain and have a good feeling of how much time the survivors need to remove the swarm. But it is very hard to get a feeling for the Unknown because sometimes the survivor looks at you and then not, which stops the timer. A quality of life change would be great here to better know how much time the killer has left until the survivor has removed the Weakened status effect. I also feel like the timer could be 12seconds instead of 10seconds. I don't recommend a shorter cooldown because otherwise the killer can just spam it's power and this is not a good thing. Next, hitting a survivor directly with the Projectile feels so underwhelming because the 6% Hindered Status Effect for 3seconds is nothing - it makes no real difference. As a result, a higher reward would be great. Maybe something like resets the timer of the Weakened Status Effect. I mean, you landed a precise shot with a small object, this should get a good reward and encourage the player to be precises.

Add-Ons:

The drawback from the Add-On Capture Of The Dark feels not fair because if we look at similar Add-Ons from Mastermind/Wesker and Singularity, they don't have any drawback - in fact they have another positive effect. This feels not right and it would be more than fair if this drawback gets removed. The Add-On Vanishing Box should be a purple Add-Ons because it so such a good one. The Add-Ons Serum Vial and Hypnotist's Watch are weird ones because they have the same effect but different requirements. In my opinion, these Add-Ons could become one purple Add-On and instead of 10seconds down it to 6seconds. The Notebook Of Theories Add-Ons should get a buff because it is too weak.

General Issue:

collision and hitboxes from objects and the enviroment: They are not consistency and just feels so bad when one object let the Projectile bounce and the other one not. But this is a general issue with the maps and other killers suffer from that. I really hope that you, the developers, will make the collision and hitboxes more consistency when reworking the maps because it feels so bad to have to deal with such a bad gamedesign.
