Ultra-Rare Add-On Concept for Hillbilly and Leatherface

Judgement Judgement
in General Discussions

I originally posted this in Balance Feedback but the post didn't get enough discussion, so I decided to post it here where more people would see it.
That and I also realised that item and add-on ideas are better suited for General Discussion rather than Balance Feedback anyway.

I came up with an idea for an ultra-rare add-on for The Hillbilly and The Cannibal a while ago. With Chapter 9; Shattered Bloodlines coming out soon, it introduces the Broken status effect which prevents Survivors from returning to full health. Like a "temporary No Mither", as the community seems to call it en masse.
So I decided, why not capitalise on this status effect, while at the same time bringing Billy and Bubba closer to the add-ons conformity that the devs want for all Killers?
BHVR are trying to make every Killer have the same amount of add-ons in rarities. This includes two ultra-rares for each Killer.
This add-on is also an Iridescent add-on, which explains why it would be so powerful;
IRIDESCENT CHAIN
A chain molded from the Fog itself. It cleaves through flesh and bone like nothing, leaving irreparable ruin its wake.

  • Survivors injured by the chainsaw suffer from the Broken Status Effect for 60 seconds of Injured State.
  • The status effect does not count down if the Survivor is Dying or Hooked.
  • Should a Survivor not be instantly downed by the chainsaw, Broken is still applied.
  • Broken is removed if a Survivor is injured again.
  • Does not stack with Grimy Chain or Rusted Chain.

This add-on, I believe has fair limitations set in place, as well as conditions;

  • The status effect not counting down when dying or hooked prevents it from ending before a Survivor can be saved from the hook.
  • Having Broken removed if a Survivor is hit after it's been applied prevents the Killer from slugging Survivors into a perpetual permanent Broken.
  • Preventing it from stacking with Grimy Chain and Rusted Chain, prevents excessive ease of slugging with increased healing difficulty.
  • Still applying Broken if a Survivor isn't instantly downed, allows for it to work alongside Speed Limiter for breaking Survivors without downing them instantly.

What do you think?

    useless addon tbh.

    reduced charge time is much better since the chainsaw is a 1 hit anyways. Why care about broken?

    Hillbilly ultra rare should be something like:

    Your chainsaw is completely silent and suffers no stun penalty when bumping into objects.

    It changes the gameplay and is powerful at the same time.

    Leatherface:

    Your chainsaw tantrums no longer ends until you hit an object or a survivor, gain increased speed up to a max of X% while chainsaw tantrums continue.
