Could Hunk get a Tune Up?

With the success of RE9 and fond memories of countless hours sunk into RE4 Mercs, the Hunk skin has quickly risen to the top of my most used skins alongside the Springtrap variants and Minotaur.

While I love his visual design, the timing of the skin meant it didn't get a lot of the cool alterations legendary skins usually get now. Since the three requests I have are all pretty sizable, it should be understood that an update of this magnitude would almost certainly come with an increase in rarity to visceral and a price raise, but I think the additions would draw a lot more eyes and customers to the already popular skin (maybe with a deep rift variant for Ghost?)

Voice

Probably the smallest request here, but Hunk's current voice being just a pitched down Frank is lame and sounds off. Asking Kief Silverstein to record some breathing and pallet stun noises would be great. Some dialogue might be cool, but it isn't necessary for a character like Hunk.

Music

The Legion TR music always reminds me that I'm facing a skin of Hunk rather than feeling like a truly unique killer the way skins like Naughty Bear and Were Elk do. A remix of Looming Dread would make him stand out a lot more than he currently does, though I'd also love it if Michael F. April got to compose a unique track for him, maybe adding a little of the RE9 Hunk/Super Tyrant Theme (idk why Mr X and Hunk share the same music in Requiem)

Magic Hands

The biggest ask I have is to swap the usual Mori out for Hunk's infamous magic hands execution, not only because it would be so perfect for him, but also because the current Legion mori is a pretty bad fit for a character known to be so lethal. Since the animation would amount to a neck snap, it probably wouldn't be the hardest thing to animate compared to the moris released as of late.

Overall

Bigger fish in the game should obviously be prioritized, and I'm just glad to have him at all, but I'd love to see our version of Hunk get an update to rise past a simply above average Legion alt and more into the realm of notably cool skins that really make the character feel like a distinct killer, despite still just being an outfit.

    Lol I was just thinking today we should get an "Old man" hunk skin from the new resi evil game. Definitely down for all of OP's suggestions though, especially a unique mori.

    I have no idea why they didn’t give hunk looming dread. Huge missed opportunity.

    I personally hoped we'd get him on Survivor side, because I don't really know which killer I'd put him over.

    After all he is the 4th survivor (Huehuehue)

    And before anyone says but his codename, you can die when he is playable anyways so oop

    One thing I'd love to see on survivor side is unique head on animations (references to their melee moves in RE) for the Resident evil cast, it would be a fun easter egg and flavour for them.

    I've always thought it was weird he doesn't have HUNK's music
