Ghost-Face addons?

Clueless

With Ghost-Face's music being neutered I thought I would take a break from Legion to see what he had. Well, when I looked for interesting addon synergies I found nothing. On my initial inspection they seem boring with little to no meaningful impact on gameplan/playstyle.

Anyone have any ideas?

The movement speed add on (pretty sure it’s the knife sheath?) Seems very good when 99% stalks since it essentially guarantees the hit after

I am looking for things to base my entire build around, that is a good addon, but just same old same old.

How is that a guaranteed down, isnt he still an m1 killer therefore easy to dunk on while on chase?

Philly, walleyes matchbook and cheap cologne are great add-ons all around.

Olsen's Address Book is amazing, it's im all ears on marked survivors with no cooldown or range restriction, which can really help at loops.

Olsen's wallet is one of the best.

Lasting Perfume and Chewed pen can be used for camping and chewed pen for slugging with ghost face caught on tape.

Victim's Detailed routine and night vision monocular can be a game changer.

Drop-Leg Knife sheath is quite good.

Driver's License is currently bugged and doesn't do anything.

Outdoor Security Camera is great.

His add-on pass was not as good as legion's, but it's still a big improvement on his add-on set in my opinion.

While I do like that ghostfaces addons are better than before, I feel that that 3 of his addons are not very good and can still be reworked/buffed.

I made a comment on another post on what I thought about them which i'll link here (so I dont have to retype my whole explanation.):

this.

this is exactly what i was looking for. pretty much most, if not all the points made here is what i agree with/what the deal is with ghostface right now. i think that, going off of his background lore and the nature of ghostface, he should be one of, if not, the stealthiest, most cunning killer to go up against.

being revealed shouldn't matter to him (too much), he is still a killer that is stalking you and will kill you. I shouldn't have to have all my power be reduced to just staring alone, or be easily, completely taken away by being seen. in typical movie fashion, survivors should be scared if he suddenly appeared to them.

i like the idea of his stalking working in tiers so passive things will happen, while still retaining his expose and stealth mechanic. you can liken it to building up fear/ suspense in the survivors imo (like the movies :D). he would be a build up/stealth killer so he gets stronger/faster(?) or something as the trial goes on (kinda like nemesis i think?)

this already sounds like he would be a fun and scary killer to play as/against. i hope the devs really consider this guys points :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

next section is about a few of ghostfaces addons i had in mind, you can skip to the end if your tired of this long post now

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on a slightly unrelated note. i really think there are 3 of his addons that still needs buffs/rework.(bear with me 🙏)

i feel that his addons "chewed pen" and "lasting perfume" are quite weak (they increase for downed/hooked survivors (respectively) to reveal him to 3 seconds).

if the survivor is downed, your next focus is likely to be picking them up safely without being interrupted, not trying to go for another sneaky expose. if the survivor is hooked, then you would likely be looking for the next survivor somewhere. if theres another survivor(s) close to the hook going for the unhook or something, then of course you would go after them/hit them trying to unhook. my point is, these 2 addons are centered around the fact/situation that you are in stealth/stalking trying to build stalk while being very close in vicinity to the downed/ hooked survivors, who are also looking directly at you to reveal you.

ghostface mains aren't dumb, they know not to use night shroud around downed/hooked survivors because they will be revealed or given away in comms at least. if you are a new ghostface player, you may discover this to happen, but you will learn not to do it again.

my suggestion is, similar to the legions ptb addons frank and julies mixtape (i think), you should combine these addons into one and make it so that downed/hooked survivors are unable to reveal you. my logic is that its because they are very hurt and weak because they're on the ground dying, or have a hook going through their chest so they wouldnt be able to scream or something. (im not sure what addon icon/lore would go along with this, if not then maybe create a new icon? idk)

the 3rd addon i think is weak is his "drivers license" addon (it reduces the range that ghostface can be revealed by 8 meters). the update to how his reveal mechanic works already nerfed him, and the reduction by 8 meters barely helps (his reveal mechanic is another issue I'm not going to go in depth here). Otzdarva said on his stream the day of the ptb (i cant post the link due to forum rules, but its on april 5th, 33:30 ish) that it was garbage and showed the actual range with with and why it isnt too helpful. based on the description of the addon, i think it should be change/be reworked so something substantial may happen when trying or succesfully revealing ghostface. (throwing random ideas out here, maybe if a survivor reveals him, the other survivors will have their auras shown for a second or 2, or maybe it builds up their stalk by a little bit? idk its just some random suggestions)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on a very small note here, i think it would help for stealth killers/tactics in general if the undetectable status is buffed so that it completely mutes your sound like footsteps and stuff, i know some killers are really loud walking even with undetectable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

alright, that's all the thoughts and stuff i had on ghostfaces new update (for now? idk). let me know of any feedback/questions if you have any :) it would really help.

edit:added where to find otz clip on DL addon

(Skip to the middle part)

The tldr of it is:

Chewed pen and lasting perfume aren't helpful because most if not all ghostface players know not to use his power around downed/hooked survivors (new gf players will eventually learn as well). Also it's very situation specific which isn't helpful.

Drivers license is just bad (I know it's bugged right now but my argument applies when it's fixed). otz has a screenshot showing the max range with the addon on his stream the day of the ptb (April 5th 33:30 ish mark, cant post twitch link cuz forum rules) and its far enough so that you aren't ever going to be revealed at that range very often (and if you are, you're making easy mistakes playing ghostface)

Let me know any feedback and stuffs :)

Also uhhhhhhh I wish they gave ghostface as much love as they did with legion in this update :(

If you're 99ing properly, you're popping it when you're right on someone's back anyway, and you're not doing it when the survivor is right next to a pallet. The movement speed in this case negates the brief loss of momentum from stalking.

Anyway, Ghostface has some addons that actually help him now, which is better than before - it was less recharge time or nothing. Stuff like movement speed while stalking is still utterly useless, and there's some new ones like -8 TR while crouching (as if you're crouching when you're not stealthed) that aren't any good, but he's got some very helpful ones. Haven't personally played him much on account of the awful music, but Philly and Olsen's Address Book are amazing for their cost and rarity, and Olsen's Wallet is fantastic. Some of the pricier ones are really nice too, like GF Caught On Tape and Victim's Detailed Routine.

I mean it can be, but hes still an m1, idk maybe its just me but I see those killers just as free bp, so for me its hard to compute anyone not wasting at least a minute on a chase against those meme killers.

Outdoor Security camera and Ghost Face Caught on tape is a combo I can't recommend enough!

If you 99% the stalk and then expose you should already be fairly close. By that point you’re moving at 125% so it should be easy to catch them
