Additional Clown Ability

I had this thought that the Clown doesn't have too much going on in his ability/skill set compared to some of the other more viable killers. One idea I had would be to add a new ability to him. Give him the ability to place Jack in the Boxes on top of gens, and when survivors get near to the gen, it pops out causing the survivor to scream. This will reveal their location similarly to that of the Doctor when he makes survivors scream. I feel as though something like this could potentially give him more map awareness/control. One example could be to use Corrupt Intervention, allowing him to stage some boxes at the beginning of the trial forcing survivors to set them off nearby his location. Or combining it with Pop, he could kick a generator, place the box, leave and have a way to be notified if someone returns to the gen. This would allow him an alternative to running perks like surveillance or discordance giving him a bit more flexibility if the player chooses to use the boxes or not. Let me know what you guys think. Good or bad? Or maybe a similar idea that would work better?

  • Well, Clown has just received some changes in last patch and hes bugged at the moment as well which hinders him slightly.

    But my favorite idea for this would be to force-feed Survivors an entire bottle of drugs.
