Fog Doors

in Feedback and Suggestions

Ok, so the inspiration for this idea was a bug report I just read about a phantom wall in the Gas Heaven garage.

What if we added Fog Doors around the maps!?

  • These are normal doors, but have a curtain of dark fog within the inside the frame. You can walk through them, but you can’t see through them.
  • Fog Doors block out the red stain if it comes from the other side.
  • Killer gets the Insidious effect if he stands within 2 meters of a door for 3 seconds. (No red stain, no heartbeat).

1) Survivors can hide by walking through a nearby Fog Door when a killer approaches. Does he look around obstacles first? Lockers? Peek through the Fog Door?

2) Survivors in chases can use this to break line of sight to try to lose the killer.

3) Killers can use these doors to sneak up on survivors or camp high-progress gens. (Let’s try to keep these doors from spawning near hooks.)

4) Both sides benefit from this new mind-game potential.


Balanced? Hopefully

    Thinking about this further, standing within the fog should give the Insidious effect to all players. The same 2 meter range that works for killers.

    Survivors would use this to negate BBQ and other aura perks. However, since we don’t want to make lockers useless, survivors will also need to stay in the 2 meter range, without moving, for 3 seconds before auras are blocked.

    I also think that scratch marks should not spawn within that 2 meter range. If a survivor runs through the door in a chase, the killer will have to pickup the trail again after following them through.
