Killer Concept: The Soldier
Really would like to see a war torn soldier killer in this game. This idea is kinda Rambo inspired :p
Killer: The Soldier
TR: 32m Height: Tall
Movement Speed: 115%
Weapon: Bowie Knife
Power: Guerilla Tactics
Years of war have trained the Soldier in the ways of stealth and silent destruction. Press the 2nd Active Ability Button to crouch, hold to crawl. While crouching, movement speed is slightly decreased and the TR is halved (~110%). While crawling, movement speed is moderately deceased and the Soldier has no TR (~100%).
Special Attack: Throwing Knife
Press the Active Ability button to throw a knife at a Survivor (the Soldier has 4 knives). Hitting a Survivor with the knife injures them for one health state. The knife has an effective range of 18m due to its curve. The soldier can reclaim his knives after downing a Survivor hit by the knife or after a short time after the injured Survivor has been healed.
Special Ability: Camouflage
While crouching, The Soldier's uniform blends in with his surroundings (not invisibility but color changing uniform/face paint). While crawling, the Soldier also adds foliage and loses the sounds of his movement and breathing (you can still hear grass and environmental noises caused by his movement).
Perks:
1) Espionage:
You gather intelligence and knowledge about your enemies before beginning the hunt. At the start of the trial, see the auras of all Survivors for 4/6/8 seconds. See the auras of items on the ground, and when standing over them see the item's rarity and addons.
2) Demilitarized Zone
Set a perimeter to guard you territory. After kicking a generator, it and the closest two generators are highlighted in yellow. If a Survivor starts working on one of these generators or enters the area inside them, their aura is shown to the Killer. If the Killer kicks one of the generators or enters the area inside them, Demilitarized Zone goes onto a 120/100/80 second cooldown.
3) Conscription
Force an enemy to do your bidding. You become Obsessed with one Survivor. After hitting your Obsession, Conscription gains a token, up to three tokens. A token is consumed whenever:
When the Obsession hits a skill check while heals a Survivor, the skill check is ignored and the healing progression is reset to zero.
When the Obsession hits a skill check while repairing a Generator, the Generator explodes as if they missed a Skill Check.
Let me know what y'all think!
Comments
I think the perks could use a little more strength
for espionage I think standing over the item should show the aura of the survivor who last held it for 5 seconds and have a cooldown for that secondary ability
for demilitarized zone I think it should only go on cooldown if you enter the zone while its showing a survivors aura and the aura lasts a few seconds when it goes on cooldown
and for conscription I think it should have a secondary way to gain tokens, like hook a non obsession or hit 5/4/3 non obsession survivors
I really like this idea, I feel as though the soldier is weird mix between Huntress and Pig and I'm really not sure how good he'd actually be. The perks seem good though.
I like your concept. The only thing I don't like about it is the weapon. There has been 4 killers who wield knives and one of them, Ghost Face, wields a tactical knife. I'd say, give him a shovel. It's unique and allows us to have a TF2 Soldier cosmetic.
