New Perk Idea: Careful Placement
Careful Placement starts with 1/2/2 charges. It can hold 2/3/4 charges. Using it to quietly place a pallet consumes a charge. Normally dropping pallets gives a charge. You Slow Vault pallets 2% faster.
When crouching and not moving, pressing to drop a pallet carefully & quietly lowers it into the Dropped position without a noise notification and only a very faint sound. This consumes a charge.
When a Pallet has been dropped via this perk, it glows to Survivors to let them know it is 'trapped'. If a Killer looks at it; it looks like a normal, undropped Pallet.
If the Killer walks up to it, he can break it (having failed to walk through the 'undropped' pallet since it is actually dropped). If a Survivor vaults the 'undropped' pallet; the illusion is broken, and it looks dropped to the Killer afterwards.
I figure; pre-dropping pallets is a thing, right? Why not the ultimate pre-drop perk! Plus, it synergizes with that perk to lift a pallet that has been dropped!
Also, the speed boost might be too much, but I figure it's only good if you're doing a slow vault. A way to get over a pallet when not being chased.

Why would you want to pre-drop a pallet in the first place?
Some Killers need predrops, since they punish if you stun them. I figured that slowly placing a pallet, then running to it in a chase might be worth something.
Eh, maybe it's a bad idea. 😁
Not saying it's a bad idea! I think it would be a cool killer perk though. How would this be useful in a situation as survivor, can you detail it to me?
It would be a smidge too OP as a Killer; drop a pallet, then break it.
As a Survivor...Not too sure. I just hear about 'predrop pallets' allot against certain Killers, and figured a predropped pallet could be a trap...Hmm...What if the slow-dropped pallet LOOKED un-dropped until vaulted (or until a Killer tries to walk through it)? So it's a trap that slows him down?
I absolutely love that idea! Question is, if youre in a chase, how do you get the killer to walk through it without walking through it yourself? But i love the idea of an illusion perk
Well, perhaps it should be; it looks like it's up to the Killer, but has an aura to Survivors (to let them know it's 'trapped'). ANd until the Killer interacts with it, or a Survivor vaults it, it's 'trapped'.
This way, it will stop a Killer from walking through the dropped pallet (but allow him to break it after he tries), but let Survivors know to not vault it.
Not really into the idea of placing new pallets.. Repairing broken ones though? Sure
