Survivor Items Update and New one

is that something you would be okay with?

I think it would be miserable for killers, but I also think survivor stuff needs to be sort of overpowered/broken, or survivors won’t care about it.

Keys can give a 32 meter on-demand killer aura reading for 22.5 seconds, or a 60 meter on-demand survivor aura reading for 30 seconds, and survivors just don’t care about them enough to use them. I see a lot of BNPs, syringes, and gel dressings, so I know survivors are using iri stuff… but they just don’t care about keys to use them, because keys “don’t do enough”.

The alternative is something like the smoke bombs survivors had during the void event, that were so miserable for killer that I stopped playing killer for the entire event.

I hope it won't get that crazy.

yeah I think it would be miserable for killers too. I feel like it would get nerfed so much over time it ends up just being like tenacity. Also if they’re trying to clean up slugging and tunneling more I would rather them not introduce another mechanic like built in unbreakable in an item. I can see it just killing any tactful pressure that’s already a tense situation on both sides. There’s alleviating pain points, and then there’s over doing it. Like this would have to be so restricted so it’s not heavily abused by any player just looking to grief.

I mean look at flashbang and ds, instead of considering another perk, they chose to locker hop and blind the killer 4 times after stunning them with ds, imagine like 2-3 more survivors swarming but throw unbreakable on them as an item. They’ll do it. Now I’m annoyed because they’re not touching gens, you’re annoyed because you can lose pivotal pressure from their misplay when they’re coordinated, and amateur/intermediate killers are getting griefed bc they’ll walk right into the trap, and the only people having fun are trolls.

So as much as I appreciate the thought, I think there’s other ways to give survivors fun without griefing killers to the moon and back. This is of course just my opinion and I don’t speak for everyone.

Like I saw smoke bomb, I think it can be less impactful and less used to grief, but strong enough to consider, the addons can make it do different things like maybe affect killer aura reading for a small amount of time and it consumes it, an add on that lets you create a stacked fog effect for escape and consumes it(of course hinders your sight too), an addon that covers everyone’s aura in x vicinity for x amount of seconds when using it(can even consume it). Fun, nothing too crazy, can be tweaked. What do you think?

I missed the void event, what did the smoke bomb do?

maybe like a hazed effect then where you can still see but it’s like a little disoriented? Similar to lightborn if you’re looking dead at the flashlight? Or do you think that would still be too much? Idk I’m an optimist so I think we can probably figure out some kind of middle ground.

While I’m at it hopping in a locker should be considered a conspicuous action for ds.

ah I remember that, I didn’t know that’s why it got removed. Okay not like fog, and not disorienting. What about like the lightest mist paralysis that doesn’t disorient and you can absolutely see but that has a slow effect(I’m just going to bounce ideas off you, I hope that’s okay) like chem trap, doesn’t have to be long, just like a tiny window like 1-2 seconds of slow, SMALL AOE.

Asking killers to rely on footsteps and breathing noises, while chase music is happening, is 100% unacceptable considering how audio occlusion currently works with line of sight breakers.

That would just end up being a “Dead Hard for distance” projectile, that could be used even if the survivor isn’t being tunneled.

Audio Occlusion was making flashbangs silent, during chase music with line of sight breakers, and the flashbang noise was way louder than breathing or footstep noises.

Survivor noises are just like the pre-buffed flashbang noise, where they can just get deleted by audio occlusion.

I've never had that issue for Smoke Clouds so far, you probably just followed the survivor poorly, you can also wait for them to leave the cloud in open spaces, or just wait it out if you want to keep vision. Try and use 2v8 to come up with strategies to play around them rather than just going to the worst conclusion. You might find your own ways to cope

I'm still waiting for Claire to be made quiet and Rebecca to not moan for 10 years on hit before going to injury noises.

yeah a destroy rebuild mechanic could be cool. Like if you make a bad exit somewhere or destroy the wrong thing it’s something the killer can use against you, and like crafting a trap from broken resources you can place down(like MC survival horror) that could backfire if your teammate or yourself run into it instead of the killer , and whoever having to break out of it(something like the same amount of time as a stun or blind to escape, also think like trappers traps, but like a net or cage, or tripped spikes(can slow killer, but would injure survivor if tripped). So like if someone doesn’t know there’s a trap or the killer knows you can herd them into their own trap, or they can bone their self. Or is this crazy talk?

When survivors use this to ambush killers in areas with lots of line of sight breakers, there isn’t any “waiting it out”, because the survivor isn’t going back in your line of sight.

I did think of something. But it wouldn't be as intregal to each match as I'd like a new mechanic to be. But it would be spicy.

The Well of Surprises

"Who the hell climbed into my well and spilt cheetos everywhere?!" - The Onryo.

Survivors interacting with a well can choose one of three randomly selected buffs. Once activated, this effect applies a curse to the survivor. Curses are selected randomly. Both buffs and Curses last for the remainder of the trial, and can stack with each other. Each buff and Curse can be only be selected and applied by each survivor once per match.

Survivors could also use a demon buddy in Chaos Shuffle, seeing as No Mither exists lmao.
