Survivor ability ideas
A friend and I were talking today about how survivors are mostly just skins, even though they have different bodies, voices, and volume. We came up with the idea of unique abilities each survivor would have. Please let us know what you think!
Dwight: He grants a slight speed boost in generator fixing
Meg: slightly faster running speed
Claudette: faster speed in altruistic adjectives
Jake: faster sabotage
Nea: faster crouch speed (without urban evasion)
Laurie: higher chance in being obsession
Bill: slowly grates faster objective speed per survivor death
Ace: higher built in luck
Feng: faster repair speed
David: increase stun time on killer
Quentin: faster exhaustion recovery for himself and others near him
Detective Tapp: faster recovery in cooldown
Kate: slightly increased movement speed everytime a generator is complete
Adam: decreased range of detention
Jeff: the less survivors left in a match, grants an increase in vault speed
Jane: increase in all co-op actions
Ash: increase in exit gate opening
Nancy: increased speed in all actions when alone
Steve: bloodpoint bonus when taking hits and destruction
please remember that this was just an idea we had and that it was for fun, it is something that we think should be apart of the game but we also are not game developers that know what its like. If you have any other ideas let us know!
Thank for reading xoxo
P.s I don't know how to forum😂

I rather the survivors be just skins so I can play with any of them and not feel like I'm putting myself at a disadvantage

sabo jake gang

Dwight's and Feng's are the same
1 -
Why I should want to be obsession as Laurie if I didn't bring any obsession perks? Hello rancor?
2 -
Dwight and Meg would become the only survivors you would see lol
2 -
I love the general idea, but increasing gen speed or run speed with no extra requirement is busted. I actually made a very detailed post about this exact idea a while ago if you're interested
1 -
I would like all survivors to whistle, Head On and whistle = ooh yeah baby.
1 -
I agree they should have a small passive "power".
It would make them more unique IMO.
1 -
We see this suggestion here on the forums on a regular basis. The problem is: Some passive abilities are way stronger than others. This would lead to less variety and people playing the same characters all the time.

What are you talking about? SURELY a slight boost to opening the exit gates is EQUALLY as good as running faster. This idea couldnt POSSIBLY just lead to "meta" survivors.
1 -
survivor run speed should never go above 100% outside of situational perks like hope for a very good reason
1 -
Ok
I'm sorry for not being more detailed. I meant to say Dwight gives it to other and Fengs is just her
0 -
This would only work if you had an obsession perk. Sorry for not being more detailed 😅
1 -
I'll have to go read it😊 it was just little ideas
0 -
It would only be a small percentage like maybe 3% or something like that
0 -
@NoShinyPony I mean isn't that what perks already do?
Different characters, same meta perks.
0 -
The percentages would be changed to equal everyone out
0 -
It would be like if two people brought in one, do you have an idea for her? Tbh we struggled to come up with one that fit her persona
0 -
At least the survivors look different. No need for it to become more monotonous.

*Claudette cloak ability intensifies
0 -
Dwight enters and exits lockers faster
2 -
Faster running speed or gen repair speed is more valuable than faster crouch speed, for example, no matter if the percentages differ.
Also balancing would be hard if you'd have to consider different values.
0 -
I'm all for passive powers, just not these. Everyone would be Dwight, Feng or Meg.
0 -
@NoShinyPony Everyone has different playstyles so I think that's subjective.
Besides this would probably encourage those characters that hardly get touched to be used more often (Tapp, Quentin, Jeff) and open up more build ideas with perks.
1 -
3% is an absurdly massive difference
0 -
Ah then okay

dwight and fengs abilities are the same just worded differently. but i like the ideas
0 -
@JanDenmark He/she explained that Fengs are only for herself, while Dwights give the "ability" to others
0 -
@Nipex then dwight is just superior
0 -
We dont need any meta survivors in game. Its fine as it is.
0 -
There wouldn't be meta survivors.
