New Survivor Item Idea
Rusty Old Shotgun - Double barrel shotgun that has 2 shots that can stun the killer at close range. Each shot has a 60% / 50% / 40% chance (depending on rarity of shotgun) of backfiring and damaging the survivor that fired it.
This item would lead to so many epic rescues and funny fail moments.
Add-On Ideas:
2 extra shells (long reload)
Increased range
Backfire caused exposed or blindness effect instead of damaging survivor

One question, how killer is supposed to counter this? Or maybe is only luck based?
Also, an addon that would change self injury to the blindness would be a mandatory... unless you believe that rng loves you and won't let get you killed.

Ya it would be luck based and any add-on that would prevent backfiring from injuring you would have to be ultra-rare but still penalize. The killer could counter by closing the gap and if the survivor is injured when firing, the killer could easy punish by smacking them into the dying state (maybe the survivor gets stunned on backfire).

"Ya it would be luck based"
And thats a bad idea... why? You can get rewarded for basically nothing... flashlight saves and pallet saves, both require skill and can be countered by the killer.
While this... lets make it straight... will be even more annoying than the ds... i already can tell it will look like this: 4 survivors join the lobby, killer look at their items, 4 shotguns...
"F*ck this, i will find another lobby".

It would have to be a pretty rare item so you aren't facing a ton of them in one round. Maybe though!
I'd be interested to see the more out-of-the-box stuff like this in PTBs just for us to play around with.

Pretty rare item? It won't fix the issue of the unbalanced item... run plunderer a few rounds and you will see how many red keys and maps you will find.

Maybe the shotgun could be mounted on the back of the survivors’ back and it would take time to draw the shotgun and shoot it. The shotgun would also have no crosshair therefore requiring more skill to use and therefore the backfire function can be removed. An extra add on could also be slug rounds which considerably increase range of the shotgun to save other survivors farther away, but considerably lower the stun duration of the killer.
