Dear devs, Chucky's mirror shards and plastic bag urgently need an overhaul

These two add-ons are not worth the risk of being included in a game. What's more, these add-ons are far too expensive and bring in nothing. They're not worth the price, they're just too weak for that.

About Mirror shards

The tracking that this add-on provides is incredibly inconsistent and situational. Generally speaking, you do not want to go into stealth mode if you don't already know where Survivors are. On top of that, it also makes the illusory footsteps audible, which results in their sounds getting mixed together with the real sounds from Survivor footsteps and overall making tracking harder.

According to Otz, among others, I can only agree with this

About Plastic Bag

This add-on can sometimes cause Exhaustion to random Survivors across the map, but the effects are highly inconsistent, especially if you use your power in short bursts (which you should). On top of that, it's basically impossible to tell if a Survivor has been affected by this add-on. Needless to say, if Survivors don't have any exhaustion perks, this add-on is also completely useless.

I have no idea what a revamp could look like, but maybe someone else has a suggestion

I would be delighted if the developers could take a look at it.

    It's easy to think of

    • During Hidey-Ho Mode, survivors can hear Chucky's voice
    • After a successful scamper, the bending angle increases.
    • The duration of Slice & Dice increases each time you successfully perform Scamper.

    the add-on look like prototypes for a killer power. i think they were experimenting with different forms of wall-hack/tracking for killer and different forms to give wall-hack to survivors because of how short chucky is. those add-on are likely remnants of said experiment.

    I said it on his PTB and I've only become more confident since then about how useless they are.

    Yes, that's why I'm posting it here, in the hope that someone from the developers will take a look at it, even if I have little hope.

    Plastic bag is a good addon and one I use alot outside of chaos shuffle. I've gotten countless hit from it by negating sprint burst/lithe plays as I sneak up to a survivor in hidey ho who's on a gen.

    Too situation-dependent and far too expensive for a purple add-on
