My Suggested Ghost face Quality Of Life changes and Add-On Reworks
Ever since the Devs told us about which killers would get some sort of "rework" It got me thinking of what they could do with Ghost face's Add-Ons.
Ghost face has always been one of my favorite killers to play but what keeps me from playing him more often is his Add-Ons. They are just very un-interesting/Boring to use at the current moment.
99% of Ghost face Players ALWAYS use recovery Add-Ons since they are the only 3 Add-Ons that have any sort of Impact on your Matches.
Which makes it so 95% of Ghost face's Add-On are unused since most of them have little to none effects on your Matches.
This is also because his base Recovery Speed is too high for the Power he has (Unlike for example, Twins)
I've Reworked 95% of Ghost face's Add-Ons and I've shared the Concepts with multiple friends and communities. The main focus of the Reworked Add-Ons is not to only make Ghost face feel more like a threat but also to make his gameplay more dynamic and thrilling to play/play against.
I've worked on these Reworked Add-Ons for the past 7 Months.
NOTE: These Add-Ons won't make Ghost face S Tier but it will make him way more fun and dynamic to play as and against.
The recent killer/add-on reworks the Devs have done (Trapper, Plague, Pig) has been amazing and i would love to see if someone at BHVR sees this to get some inspiration/ideas for Ghost face's Add-On pass <3
Feel free to comment your feedbacks on what you think of the Add-On Pass. :D
Before we get to the Add-Ons, Here are some Quality Of Life changes To Ghost face's base-kit:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Night Shroud recovery time decreased to 20 seconds.
(is 24 Seconds at the moment)
- Make leaning out more Smooth/Consistent.
(This is a technical change which I'm sure is difficult to track down, but it would be an awesome and welcoming addition)
- Ghost face revealing progress is not reset immediately when the Survivor loses Line Of Sight but is instead depleting slowly at a rate of 33% every 1.5 Seconds down to the default revealing time which is 1.5 Seconds.
it will take roughly 5 seconds for the revealing progress to fully deplete.
(this is to make Ghost face revealing from the Survivor POV less of a struggle and to prevent the "i looked into you for 1.3 seconds but you crouched under a low object so now the progress is gone")
- Killer Red stain follows his camera position when crouching.
(This is fairly straight forward. i don't think the Red Stain should be static in one place, it should follow his camera movement to prevent the Red Stain from clipping though certain objects)
- Add a unique Chase theme
(Not 100% needed but it would be a welcoming one <3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the following Changed/Reworked Add-Ons:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghost Face Caught On Tape: (Ultra Rare Rarity)
- Survivors who pull you out of Night Shroud gets Marked.
- Decreases the Night Shroud recovery time by 5 Seconds.
(25 Seconds Night Shroud Recovery time)
(The idea of this Add-On is to make revealing Ghost face more of a "Risk and Reward" type of scenario while also giving you a negative effect since this Add-On can be very impactful).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outdoor Security Camera: (Ultra Rare Rarity)
- The Auras of all Survivors outside The Ghost Face's Terror Radius are revealed for 5 Seconds when a Marked Survivor is put into the Dying State.
(is 4 Seconds)
- Downing a Marked Survivor makes you enter Night Shroud and gives you a revealing protection for 15 Seconds.
(This Add-On is fine as it is, but this new effect should make this Add-On more appealing to use as a ultra rare).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victims Detailed Routine: (Very Rare Rarity)
- Reveals the Aura of the Survivor who pulled you out of Night Shroud for 8 Seconds.
- Marked Survivors has their Aura revealed to The Ghost Face when they are outside a 16 Meter Range.
(This would encourage Ghost face players to mark Survivors from a distance to get valuable information about their whereabouts whilst also giving you information on which Survivor revealed you).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drivers License: (Very Rare Rarity)
- When Downing a Marked Survivor, 50% of your Night Shroud Power Gauge is instantly recovered.
(10 Second reduction to the Night Shroud Recovery time)
(This is one of the Rare add-ons that could be base-kit if you really want it to be and no one would really be against it. The main goal with this Add-On is to make Ghost face players feel rewarded for playing extra stealthy and landing successful Marked downs).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop-Leg Knife Sheath: (Very Rare Rarity)
- increases Movement Speed when Crouched by +15% when a Survivor gets Marked for
60 Seconds.
(105%/ 4.2 m/s)
(Crouch Speed Add-Ons at the moment are very lackluster. with this add-on it would reward you in some gimmicky and fun way for using Successfully using your power).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night Vision Monocular: (Very Rare Rarity)
- Decreases the Stalk Time when leaning from a corner by 1 Second.
- Increases your Stalking Range by 6 Meters.
(Maximum Stalk range is 40 Meters by default)
(This would previously only make stalking faster when you were NOT leaning from a corner. For a Very Rare add-on it's pretty underwhelming, so I changed the Add-On to be more of a Stalk distance type of add-on which fits the theme since it is a "night vision monocular". I also combined the old version of "Ghost Face Caught On Tape" with this to make Stalking feel more threatening from a distance and up close).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chewed Pen: (Rare Rarity)
- Reduces the Night Shroud recovery time by 4 Seconds on Successful attacks during Night Shroud.
(16 Seconds Night Shroud Recovery time)
- Getting out of Night Shroud grants you the Undetectable Status Effect for 8 Seconds.
(This is one of the most used Add-Ons currently, so I changed the conditions while also giving you a small bonus for getting out of Night Shroud).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olsen’s Wallet: (Rare Rarity)
- Injuring a Survivor while in Night Shroud, Inflicts them with The Broken and Hemorrhage Status Effects for 60 Seconds.
(This will make Survivors healing actions slow down temporarily and also make Injured Survivors easier to track).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knife Belt Clip: (Rare Rarity)
- Injuring a Survivor only resets 50% of their Current Stalk Meter.
- Survivors who pulled you out of Night Shroud has their Stalk Meter increased by +15 Stalk Points. (15%)
(The main inspiration with this Add-On is to make injuring Survivors with decent stalk progress less punishing whilst also making Survivors who has around 85% of their Stalk meter full to get marked, risking their own life).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lasting Perfume: (Rare Rarity)
- increases The Ghost Face Movement Speed by +5% for 15 Seconds when Survivors pull you out of Night Shroud.
- Reveals the Aura of Marked Survivors who Fast Vaults or Drops a Pallet for 6 Seconds.
(The concept of this Add-On is to close the distance gap for whenever a Survivor reveals you whilst also giving you minor but valuable information during a chase).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leather Knife Sheath: (Rare Rarity)
- increases Movement Speed when crouched by +9%. (99%)
- Makes your Crouching more Silent. (Removes the fabric noises from crouching)
(This will improve navigating maps when your crouching while also making you sneakier around corners).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marked Map: (Uncommon Rarity)
- Marked Survivors get affected by the Oblivious Status effect for the remainder of the Marked Duration.
- Decreases The Ghost Face Terror Radius by 16 Meters when Chasing a Marked Survivor.
(The idea of this Add-On is to make Ghost face more unpredictable and also confusing for Survivors whilst making it harder to detect his presence during a Chase).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olsen’s Address Book: (Uncommon Rarity)
- Survivors that have Repaired a Generator for 10 Seconds and have their Stalk Meter above 75%, gets revealed by Killer Instinct for 5 Seconds.
(This was previously one of the 3 Recovery type Add-Ons. The concept of this reworked Add-On is to find out where the Survivors you've been stalking is so you can plan an Ambush).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olsen’s Journal: (Uncommon Rarity)
- Marking a Survivor who Repairs a Generator calls upon The Entity to block the Generator for 30 Seconds.
(This Add-Ons main inspiration it to be a mini "Thrilling Tremors").
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reusable Cinch Straps: (Uncommon Rarity)
- increases Movement Speed when crouched by +6%. (96%)
(This Add-On has the same effects as it currently have Today, however the numbers where WAY to low to feel any impactful changes to your crouching speed. With this number change, it will be a nice Uncommon Add-On).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telephoto Lens: (Uncommon Rarity)
- Increases Stalking Range by 4 Meters. (44 Meters)
- Reduces the Stalk time by 0.25 Seconds when Stalking from a distance of 20 Meters.
(This will encourage stalking from a distance since it's slightly faster while also giving you a bigger stalking range).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headlines Cut-outs: (Common Rarity)
- Increases Movement Speed while Stalking by +50%.
(I combined the old "Olsen's Wallet" with "Olsen's Journal" (30% + 20%) to make it a decent Common Add-On).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walleyes Matchbook: (Common Rarity)
- Reduces the Night Shroud recovery time by 2 Seconds when a Survivor pulls you out of Night Shroud.
(18 Seconds Night Shroud Recovery time)
(Changed the condition with this Add-On, it not only works whenever a Survivor reveals you).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philly: (Common Rarity)
- Reduces the Stalk time when not leaning by 0.5 Seconds.
(This Add-On has the same effects as it currently is but got a number change from 0.25 to 0.5 Seconds).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheap Cologne: (Common Rarity)
- Increases Marked Duration by 15 Seconds. (60 Second Marked Duration)
- Hitting Survivors while in Night Shroud Increases the volume of Grunts of Pain by +50%.
(This previously only increased Marked Duration for +5 seconds which is very underwhelming even for a Common Add-On. These changes makes Stalking last a slightly longer then before while also giving you a small benefit for sneaking up to injured Survivors).
Comments
The issue with all the Marked add-ons is that Exposed isn't as big of a deal as people think.
It's finnicky to get it off and you're usually better off using Night Shroud for Stealth anyway.
Ghostface has zero way to close out a chase, so his Exposed stuff doesn't help him a ton.
Wow, I love every single addon you reworked, Ghostface would actually be fun with these addons as they each give an interesting mechanic to play with and combine with perks. I agree that right now Ghostface and also Pyramid Head are very meh with their addons.
