Pig Addon - Video Tape Buff/Balance Recommendation.
The addon seems initially insanely powerful. Everyone starts with a bear trap.
All four survivors can 99% gen and attempt to take them off before they start popping them or their 60-second death timer commences if they decide to keep them on, or someone is unfortunate enough to fail to remove theirs before someone else decides to pop a generator.
It has a lot of pressure but makes perks like corrupt intervention feel useless. I feel a nice change might be to make the addon make all survivors start with reverse bear traps but she still has 2. Another cool change could be that they are locked until the first generator is popped.
The bear trap is a death game that pig players can exploit. The pig should still be given an adequate number of traps, maybe even more than starting with 4...but my main topic was simply a small buff to Video Tape. Would her having one or two traps extra be too much?
If a dev could answer if it's balanced that'd be informative but dead-by-daylight games are a teeter-totter.

It's now staggered for optimal slowdown. Might be a bit OP and need to increase the RBT death timer though.
For an Iri? I think VT is fine. Iris should be powerful and game changing, and far too few killers have iris that are worse than browns.
The major issue is it's interaction with RS#2, which is a newbie killing machine.
That all said - Pig needs to be helped in a lot of areas, so until that happens - let her have her one powerful combo.
That sounds like a great change. from a survivor perspective; a pig shouldn't be able to chase an active timer. It would be accurate with Johnny's philosophy of no interference.
Someone having a trap takes them from the main game and puts them in a death mini-game that is based on Amanda's challenge in saw.
I think when the timer is active the killer should use that time to attack active participating members in the current game. People hiding and doing generators. Then her traps would be amazing with video tape and it would force normal gameplay. Pig needs a rework in general in my opinion.
I said initially. I find that it needs a rework. Probably a buff.
Pocket dimension Jail with challenges could be an interesting Killer Power, however I’m under the impression that Amanda tampers with rules.
So she should still be able to chase Survivors with an Active RBT.
That's a really good change, it would both ensure that her stalling is ideally spread out, and also prevent the pig just sitting on a box at the start hoping a survivor will die because of it.
