Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

You need to redo SM's entire kit at this point - she's boring and underwhelming to play

Get rid of the stealth. It's pointless and doesn't reward skill or feel good. It's just luck and a gimmick

Give her a power similar to the Pyramid head where you can turn a downed survivor into a meat satellite that hovers and watches an area. Gives true meaning to skull merchant. Hang the survivor upside down or whatever in a steel cage in the satellite drone. Give her an optional Hook 2 Mori that the satellite consumes/deskins the survivor and adds their skull to the drones collection permanently.

Give her the ability to surgically attach implants or something to players when they're downed. Gives off radar pings when they stay still and in your vicinity (not global)

Right now her "loop game" feels boring as #########. theres no "ah ha! got you!" moments or feel good. Shes sooo bad I'm not even sure how she got past your design and play testing.

    Her loop gameplay is non-existent. She doesn't do anything. Worst killer in the game.

    Good news though! They're working on redoing her kit.

    Exactly. She needs to essentially become a completely new killer with a power that retains nothing except aesthetics from her old version. It's the only way to salvage her.

    Considering how terrible BHVR has been with reworks the last few years, I'm not sure that is something to be thrilled about.

    In full honesty, as much as I love Merchant, I'm starting to think the drones need to be ditched entirely, or at least not have them not be the main focus of her power. She has obvious Predator inspiration, so they should probably lean into that; make her power more focused on the hunt: stealth/invisibility, tracking, and ambushing.

    My biggest concern is they are going to turn the drones into some sort of camera and she will just end up being a worse version of Singularity.

    yeah im all up for removing the drones. Keep them to cage the survivors or something but as "cameras" they need to go. They rob the killer of power in the kit. They dont do anything now either so they're useless
