[THE PIG] Idea of new feature on RBT

I hope you like this idea, I have thought a lot and it gives a touch to the movie, if you want to die for your teammates in the game, die for your teammates. I don't want to do spoilers of SAW movies. I will present my idea of new mechanics of the traps of this killer.

Now the traps (RBT) are activated once the survivor performs the action of: repair, sabotage, healing, rescue.

The explosion time is the same 2:30 mins.

With this changes some of the addons will be reworked.

On the other hand, once activated the trap has another operation. To be understood, we will take out Plague. As you know if a survivor is infected and performs repair action increases and reaches the "broken" state faster.

My idea about the activated trap would be as follows.

If the survivor with the activated trap prefers to do actions to: repair a generator, healings, rescue, sabotage, the time of the detonation of the trap gradually decreases to the action he is taking.

With this change we make that survivor ONLY focus on the jigsaw boxes, but if he decides to help his teammates, he is playing with his life, he could ... die to help his team. This shows AS IS the movie .. LIVE OR DIE. GIVE YOUR LIFE in exchange for another one?

The operation of the RBT would be equally, in chase the timer stops.

    I like the concept but at the same time let's compare scenarios with the current way and your suggestion


    • Survivor gets downed, trapped and hooked
    • Survivor gets unhooked, without a generator being done meanwhile
    • survivor can either go work on stuff or get the trap off, or a mix of both, there's a box nearby so he checks it, and finds no key, then goes to work on a generator and resumes his search for the key after completing the generator since now the trap is active

    In your scenario

    • survivor gets downed,trapped and hooked
    • survivor gets unhooked, same as before, no generator got done..
    • survivor pretty much can't do anything else than work on boxes, since as soon as he touches something, his trap activates and if he keeps at it, the timer goes down faster
    • Pig can just patrol boxes right after the unhook since she knows he's going to go there

    With Plague, survivors can or can not go check boxes, who cares

    With Pig, it's a must, otherwise your head gets pulled open.

    Also, what's to prevent 3 trapped survivors from doing nothing while the 4th does the last generator and opens the gate so everyone can escape with an inactive trap on their head? (worst case scenario, probably wouldn't happen, but it could)

    Unless you also leave the generator completion activation, on top of the "do any m1 action, the trap activates" suggestion, but that would be a bit overkill..


    One part of your suggestion that I would do though..

    Keep it the way it is, BUT, once the trap is active, any action OTHER THAN checking Jigsaw boxes makes the timer go down faster. Maybe not twice as fast, but just faster. Or make that an add-on. "Slightly accelerates Reverse Bear Trap timer on survivors performing actions while the trap is active" or something.
