Killer Concept - Xenomorph

ThatOneDemoPlayer

This is a concept I've been working on for the Xenomorph. Keep in mind this is still a WIP( work in progress) so things may change if I feel like changing them. Feedback would be greatly appreciated (aswell as ideas for addons cuz goddamn does it take me a while to get those done)

DbD Killer concept: The Hive (Work in Progress) A hivemind of predators, The Hives Queen is able to set up Nests and send out its Drones using its Power Queen's Orders Attributes Movement Speed: 4.6 Meters per second Terror Radius: 32 Meters Height: Tall Power: Queen's Orders Spawn in Se...

For the people that don't have time to read all of that, here's a quick tldr

-Introduced a new Killer: The Hive

The Hives Power: Queens Orders

The Hive Queen is able to place down 6 Nests that act like Demogorgon portals with a bigger radius (20 meters)

-Pallets within that 20 meter Radius will be dropped 2% slower aswell as generators being slower and window vaults

-The Queen may also send out Xenomorphs to have greater mobility and a ranged acid spit attack

Oof. Well, atleast you learned lol

I had an idea for an alien killer where you play as the drone, however your idea where you play as the Queen herself and have a birds eye view over the trial could be a really interesting game mechanic and fun to play. Good Job

The Xenomorph, referred to as the Perfect Organism, is a vicious and cunning killer, created and evolved to be the pinnacle of any lifeform. By using its heightened senses and parasitic preproduction, this killer lurks in every shadow, to either kill by itself or with its own kind.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Power - Evolution Perfected

Passive - Acidic blood

When stunned by a pallet, the Xenomorph will release its acidic blood onto the pallet that had stunned it. This pallet will become weakened. Weakened Pallets have a limited number of uses by survivors before they are broken automatically.

Special Ability - Heightened Senses

Activating the ability, the Xenomorph enters a lowered stance, granting the Undetectable Status Effect and increased movement speed. While in this stance, the Xenomorph can spot nearby survivors using Killer Instinct depending on the survivors condition and movement within a 24 meter radius;

• If the survivor is standing still and not interacting with anything, they are not revealed, but still hear the audio cue.
• If the survivor is moving while crouching or standing still and injured, the radius is reduced to 6 meters.
• If the survivor is injured while crouching, the range is reduced to 12 meters
• if the survivor is walking, the range is reduced to 16 meters.
• If the survivor is running, the range is 24 meters.
• If the survivor is running, whilst injured, the range is increased to 32 meters
• If the survivor has been impregnated by a facehugger, they are not revealed by Heightened Senses.

While in Heightened Senses, the Xenomorph can vault 20% faster and is granted the ability to jump up to elevated vault locations. Survivors revealed by Heightened Senses hear a Hissing audio cue, which gets louder if the Xenomorph is looking in their direction.

Special Attack - Pounce

While in Heightened Senses, the Xenomorph can hold the Primary Attack button to slow themselves down and charge a mid ranged lunge attack. Releasing the button, the Xenomorph will pounce forward, damaging the first survivor hit. Can't be used to break pallets and doors. Missing Pounce will cause the Xenomorph to enter a miss cooldown state, hitting an object will briefly stun the Xenomorph. Using Pounce will put it on a cooldown.

Special Hook - Facehugger Nest

Hooks are replaced by Facehugger nests. The Nests work the same as a hook, but a facehugger will attach to the survivor an implant an embryo in the survivors chest. Survivors on stage 1 of a hook can still attempt to free themselves, and in stage 2 they still need to struggle. However, in stage 1 they can't immediately attmept to escape the hook as a Facehugger is latched onto them. Only stage 1 of a hook can afflict a survivor with a Chestburster. If a survivor with a Chestburster is hooked a second time, they affliction tier is increased by 1, up to a maximum of tier 3, but gestation time isn't affected at all. Gestation time is paused when on a hook.

Once off of the hook, the survivor is also given a gestation timer. Once this timer expires, a chestburster will rupture out of the survivor, killing them instantly. As the timer progresses, the gestation will reach different stages, increasing the survivors affliction;

• Tier 1, -10% penalty to healing, repairing and unlocking,
• Tier 2, Survivor audibly coughs periodically.
• Tier 3, survivor, once injured, is afflicted with the Broken Status effect
• Tier 4, death.

Survivors can have the Chestburster removed by interacting with a powered generator. Doing so will lower the survivors affliction tier to tier 2, or tier 1 if tier 2 wasn't reached. Survivors trying to leave without having their chestburster removed will be executed at the exit gate.

Special objective - extraction station and Royal Jelly

Exctraction Station become Powered once a nearby generator has been completed. Survivors can interact with these stations in order to have their Chestburster removed. Doing so will rank the Survivors affliction rating down 1 tier. Extraction Stations go on cooldown once used.

Survivors remain undetectable to Heightened senses for 20 seconds after a successful extraction.

Around the map are mini objectives where a Survivor can extract Royal Jelly and use it to momentarily pause the gestation and remove 1 tier of affliction. Royal Jelly cannot be used to stop a Chestburster emerging when trying to exit the trial.

Special ability - apex predator

If a survivor has reached the second hook stage, and has had their Chestburster removed from them, downing a survivor using pounce will automatically cause the Xenomorph to perform a Mini-Mori.

Perks

Hex: Hive Mind -

While this hex remains active, all other dull totems are 'activated' as well. If a survivor cleanses the wrong totem, the killer receives an audio and visual cue, only if that totem wasn't already a Hex Totem.

Evolutionary Dominance -

Upon hooking a unique survivor, gain a token, up to 4. For each token, your terror radius in chase is increased by 2/3/4 meters.

Being stunned by any means, reveals that survivor for 1/1.5/2 seconds for each token when in chase.

Lost in Space -

Hooking a survivor causes all other survivors to suffer from the blindness status effect for x seconds.
