My Ideas For A Possible Add-On Overhaul

Hello!

I've been an avid DBD player for quite some time now, and I really wanted to share my thoughts on killer add-ons. In my opinion, there is a huge discrepancy in the add-on roster, and I think some standardization could be beneficial.

I tried to follow a certain process while doing this redesign, this includes, for killers;

  • 5 Common Add-On's - slightly improving the killer's power (With an additional meme or learning add-on)
  • 4 Uncommon Add-On's - improving upon the original add-on's
  • 4 Rare Add-On's - further improving upon the original add-on's (You'll notice these add-ons have set certain stats for the killer, further explanation below)
  • 4 Very Rare Add-On's - I wanted the purple add-on's to augment or change the killer's power in a fun and/or interesting way.
  • 2 Iridescent Add-On's - These might have been the trickiest to come up with. Iri add-on's should, in my opinion, the pinnacle of power in a killer's arsenal, without being too overpowered.

As for survivor items, this includes.

  • 4 Common Add-On's
  • 4 Uncommon Add-On's
  • 3 Rare Add-On's
  • 2 Very Rare Add-On's
  • 1 Iridescent Add-On

Please note:

This was made very recently, but I did not do a revamp for Mastermind, Knight, or Skull Merchant. As I do not have much experience playing as or against these killers. I am NOT a game developer so the number I included are merely my rough thoughts after looking at every killers add-on’s. I’m also not a fan of add-ons that just apply status effects, like blindness, because I think they’re there as a backup when no other idea has taken its place. (There are some exceptions to this, and also this is just my opinion!)

With all this being said, let me know what you think! This post was made in fun, I don't expect any actual changes to be made, or for everyone to agree with. With any luck the most that will come out of this is the community of DBD to speculate themselves on creative and fun ways to play.

I'm sure there are more people to credit than just this from my years of lurking so my apologies if I missed you, I most likely did not remember the post or could not find it while searching
