Idea for a pig buff

Making it so that the first jigsaw box is guaranteed to not let you remove your trap. I cant tell you how many times I have trapped someone and they just get it off 20 seconds later on their first try. And whenever i go against a pig, I dont even worry about the traps because you have such a long time to disarm them making the pigs stall game irrelevant.

    Make Jigsaw's Sketch base kit so that there are always 5 jigsaw boxes.

    Then update Jigsaw's sketch as an add-on so that there are either 6 jigsaw boxes, or jigsaw box search speed is decreased (aka searching jigsaw boxes takes longer).

    I misread that and thought I was going to get a big puff.

    Sounds like a reasonable buff.

    Thumbs up from me. Improves the worst case scenario for Pig's traps without touching the best case scenario.

    According to how the RBT and Jigsaw Boxes actually work in-game, suppossedly according to the devs, that'd not work. TL;DR each RBT has a key that is randomly assigned to a box. This is why the add-ons that add an extra Box is her best since each new one is guarantee'd to be a dud. REALLY need to have this explanation in Pig's tooltip because it's dumb as hell that it's hidden from players that this is how the mechanic works and they need to go searching for dev interviews to find out how their power work.

    RS2 needs to be base, extra gens should reduce the timer by 15-10 seconds (or make that RS2's replacement), and activating the exit gates should count as a gen and activate any RBTs. At the very least RS2 and Exit gates counting as a Gen would be a great buff to her without being frustrating for Survivors. If they activate the gates while teammates have an RBT on their head that's their fault, and survivors are already pretty good at keeping gens at 99% so a teammate can get their safety helmet off.

    I imagine the idea could work without much issue. All you really need to do is change things so that the RBT Key isn't assigned to a box until you search your first box.

    The keys are assigned at the start of the match so that would mean they would have to redo the whole mechanic again so it assigns them mid match. Not very worth it. If you want to increase the time for searching the best way is to have 5-6 boxes base since that increases the chance of dud boxes.
