Another one of my pig rework ideas
The pig starts with 4 RBTs. When a generator is completed, the RBT on whoever has one activates and that person with the RBT on has to search two jigsaw boxes (in my idea here, there will be 3 jigsaw boxes at base that are far but not too far from each other). Note: The tampered timer will be changed to have another effect.
- If the pig starts a chase with someone with an active trap, the trap will be paused. At the bottom left on the UI, the Pig will see the timer on the survivor being chased paused by being shown in orange. Just so newer players who don't actually know that chasing someone with a trap is pausing it (you'd be surprised what people don't fully know about the powers of the killers they play).
- If a generator is completed while someone is wearing an active trap, they will have to search the third jigsaw box across the map and have their timer lose 30 seconds immediately. This should induce much more panic into the survivor with a RBT on them and get rid of the RNG aspect to it. It will also make survivors hesitant about working on generators when someone has a trap active slowing them down as well.
- The addon that gives you an extra RBT is brought up to purple rarity.
- A survivor cannot search boxes until their trap is active
For example, a gen is completed and Dwight has his trap activated so he goes to search the jigsaw boxes. When he is in the middle of searching the second box, another generator is completed and he now has to search the third one and he has his timer reduced by 30 seconds. However, on the way to the third box the Pig sees him and starts a chase.
As for the ambush, I am still thinking of how to change it to make it less punishing and less predictable in a chase. I was thinking that instead of crouching, pressing m2 will start dashing while she is standing and then she performs a dash attack. While she begins to charge up the dash, she is slowed down to 100% and then almost paused for half a second and then dashes at a speed higher than the old dash. Further changes are needed to this and is a very rough idea.
Let me know what you think.

It really isn't hard to get rbt's off like at all if the killer doesn't use tampered timer, even with an extra box you can easily get it off.
I feel that this just lessens her stalling by making it easier to get them off faster, remember jigsaw boxs take time to interact with so removing one makes it way faster to check all the boxs. her power should not reliably kill survivors with the RBT's it should be more reliable when it comes to stalling.
If you plan on reducing the timer so she gets more kills that isn't a good idea imo since it would mean you have to tunnel to get that to work out and also survivors won't like it. I know gens will reduce the timer but there are only 5 gens and at most 3 gens will go off in the beginning of the game and mid way only 1-2 gens get done at a time. This means that this will most of the time barely affect the survivor or it will completely screw them over which isn't fair since it is out of their control.
I was reducing the timer to make them more inclined to go straight for a jigsaw box instead of just healing up or saving someone, but yeah on some maps it can be unfair. I also should probably mention that a timer can only have its time reduced by 30 seconds once.
I felt like it buffed her ability to stall a bit because survivors can't get it off so easily. It is still easy, but not "gets it off on the first search easy" and there is one less box to search at base. I feel like I am on to something though. More help from people around the forums would help.
