What's your Dream Addon for a Killer?

I think it's important to encourage the devs for more unique spreads of add-ons that don't feel like simple stat buffs or effect appliers, so that more playstyles open up to create more diverse matches. That being said, I think Unknown, Chucky, and Xeno have been pretty good with their add-ons encouraging different ways to play, but I still feel like a lot of killers are mostly just bad iridescents and minor stat buffs. So my question is this, what would be your favorite addon to be added to any killer?

I would mention my Hallucination Only Unknown idea here, but I've already made that post, so here's one for Pig.

-Survivors start the match with RBTs attached to them.

-Once all generators are completed, all RBTs will activate.

-Survivors cannot remove RBTs until all generators are completed.

Comeback matches with Endgame Pig would be incredibly thematic given Saws tendency for plot twists, and I feel like the strength of having all traps activate and survivors not being able to take them off until then would be balanced by how clearly telegraphed the traps are and the fact they won't be usable until the end.

That done, what's your most wanted addon?

    dream addons

    Pyramid head

    I’d like a addon to break pallets and breakable walls with POTD

    I’d also like a mini thanatophobia addon that works with torment logic

    Something like

    Get a -4% penalty for every survivor tormented

    And when a survivor is caged all survivors get a -15% penalty

    It’ll encourage some cool playstyles

    And a gen regress addon cause anti gen mechanic is a thing so why not add a gen regress addon

    And also an addon that makes him activate hook perks by caging survivors

    Ghostface add on:

    • You are unable to mark survivors by stalking them.
    • Survivors become marked when they reveal you.

    Xenomorph add on:

    • You become undetectable while in crawler mode.
    • When first detected by a given flame turret, you move 4% faster for 5 seconds.
    • Your tail attack range is reduced to 2 meters.

    The perfect trolling add on for the trolling killer, and the changes to make Xenomorph the stealth/ambush killer I wish it could be.

    An addon for blight that would completely recharge my rush tokens when I hit somebody with a lethal rush.

    • Ultra Rare that makes Huntress’s lullaby map wide.
    • Ultra Rare that makes any skillchecks received while in the Lullaby radius difficult skill checks. (Doesn’t stack with other maybe?)
    • Ultra Rare that causes gens hit by hatchets to exploded for 5% and can not be hit until again until it stops regressing.
    • Rare that makes survivors receive a difficult skill check when a hatchet lands with 1 meter of them
    • Rare that forces any survivor that vaults to slow vault when within 8 meters of Huntress as she winds up.
    • Rare that blocks windows for 4 seconds after throwing a hatchet through them
    • Rare that reveals survivors auras for 3 seconds intermittently when outside of the lullaby radius

    A Lot of Huntress’s add ons are what I call “X Faster add ons” which are honestly very boring. Windup faster, recover faster, reload faster, hatchets travel faster and so on. I feel like they should make add ons that apply to her massive lullaby to be honest.

    With blight they changed completely non problematic unique addons into boring stat increases, kinda boring.

    Dredge

    Iri that silences all locker sounds. So the bang of going in and the sound when they open.

    Artist

    Iri that causes disturbing crows to swarm you and show you aura for 5 seconds.

    Onryo

    Iri that makes TVs appear and sound as if turned off to survivors. (This will also hide the Tape notification telling you where your TV you need to drop your tape at is located). In addition TVs turn on 20 seconds sooner.

    Legion

    Iri that makes Deep Wounds also apply Deafened to the survivors until Mended. Additionally, being hit with Frenzy while injured now applies a 10% gen repair speed penalty until healed.

    Freddy

    Iri that when the exit gates are powered all survivors are put into the Dream World and unable to wake up for the rest the trial. Additionally, all pallets destroyed during the match are replaced with fake pallets.

    Unknown

    Iri that makes hallucination spawning take longer, but now there is no max limit to how many can be spawned on the map.

    Iri that reverses their Weakened removal metric. Now looking at The Unknown will slowly replenish the Weakened meter and not looking at him slowly removes it. Time to have Weakened removed is significantly longer.

    Nemesis

    Iri that causes zombies within a 32 meter radius to be drawn to survivors currently infected. Additionally, zombies now have increased movement speed based on the amount of survivors currently infected. 25, 50, 75, 100%

    Knight

    Iri that allows multiple guards to be sent out simultaneously. Only one guard can Hunt one survivor at a time. Hunt duration and patrol time is also reduced per additional guard sent out.

    Pyramid Head

    Iri that makes POTD hits apply Torment.

    Deathslinger

    Addon that makes survivors put into the Dying state while speared instantly reloads his Redeemer.

    Fun Addon for the Doctor or Unknown: (Unknown need longer debuffs but they are not counting as exposed)

    Who?

    Every survivor debuffed by the killer ability see everyone else as the killer.

    Have you ever wanted to see a healing Doctor and a vaulting Doctor chased by another Doctor?

    an add-on that produces a loud noise notification when a survivor begins cleansing a hex:totem.

  • HexHuntressThighs

    Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt used to do this but it was considered far too strong and got nerfed.

    An addon for Xeno that unlocks Wall Crawling as an ability at the cost of being able to use Crawler Mode while on the ground.

    An addon for Pyramid Head that summons the mist from the town of Silent Hill and causes fog to limit the distance that Survivors can see across the map for all Survivors, with Pyramid Head losing his terror radius for any Survivor whenever he is outside their respective fog range.

    An addon for Trickster that decreases the amount of blades he can carry, but doubles the laceration rate gained from long distance shots and the length from which laceration disappears from long distance shots.

    It's all five totems if we're following the logic that it's effect is tied to how many there are. It doesn't even have a use without other hex perks aside from I guess slower blessing, and none of its "totems" are lit. A far more accurate description of the perk is calling it merely a scaling debuff.

    Ok but Thrill itself is a Hex. Cleanse that and the penalty is gone.

    Dont know if Im missing something here, feel free to let me know

    Nvm idk what I'm talking about. One of the cons of always choosing Undying over thrill lol. Could've sworn it was just a general effect than a totem. I suppose I'll be off to visit my good friend Dunning Kruger.

    Do you have one for Spirit that would also be really useful? Even if it’s an Iri i wouldn’t mind heheh


    I have three but idk how useful they’d be considering the downside:

    • being able to stay in phase-walk indefinitely at the cost of having the phase-walk M/S tremendously decreased from %176 M/S to below %150% M/S or making it a 110% M/S AND ( this effect would only be applied if it’s the 110% M/S ) tremendously decreases the phasing noise range to 8 meters or lower.

      Tbh i don’t know if it’d be balanced or not or even worth running but it’s an idea xD


    2- Spirit can now go through solid objects ( buildings, pallets, walls, window vaults etc…) but the downside would be:

    • The post-phase speed boost and increased lunge is no longer granted.
    • Decreases the power activation charge speed by 50%.
    • The phasing noise is map-wide and directional from any range. ( isn’t a fixed 24-meter range like how it always been since October of 2021. )
    • can’t be used with any other add-on ( so basically it can’t be paired with her other add-ons. )

    I really don’t know if this’ll be balanced or not or if the downsides will balance out the strength of the add-on but it’s an idea at the end of the day.


    Last but not least, an add-on that does following:

    Spirit’s ethereal form is visible while phasing but would have the following buffs:

    • the phasing noise is silent from anywhere on the trial grounds

    • Fake faint breathing sounds of Spirit ( how it is when she’s normally chasing someone outside phase-walk ) and footstep sounds are heard by survivors either constantly or intermittently to keep them on their toes.

    Again, don’t know if it’ll be useful but it’s just an idea i had lol.


    Would love to hear your idea on usefully creative add-on ideas for Spirit!

    an Iri addon for Oni that actually gives him full power gauge right at the beginning of the match.

  • BlightedDolphin

    An add on that reverts Freddy to a modified version of his original power.

    omg this!!!!! And if survivor players complain ( like they normally do lmao ) just make it so that he can do what he normally does in his power without the insta down for the first blood fury activation. Subsequent power activations will allow him to insta down like normal.

    He’d be soo goood, he wouldn’t be reliant on survs making mistakes to get his power lol and i’d imagine this add-on would get banned in comp lol
