Okay, Hear Me Out on This!

Iridescent Head

You start the Trial unable to use any of your Hunting Hatchets. Instead, you use the last throwable weapon available to you:

  • Press the Power Button to charge up your Broad Axe, then let go to throw it like you would a Hunting Hatchet.
  • The Broad Axe has the same properties as a Basic Attack when thrown, and as such will have its own properties affected by Perks that affect Basic Attacks.
  • After the Broad Axe hits a Survivor, any object or exceeds a range of 64 meters, hold the active ability button for 3 seconds to recall your weapon into your hand.
  • While the Broad Axe is unavailable, you cannot perform a Basic Attack or Lunge Attack, and your weapon is highlighted to you in white.

Instead of just having a ranged instant-down add-on that gives Huntress way too much power and causes it to be frustrating on both sides, this version of the add-on just says "you know what, screw it, throw your weapon instead" and gives her Power the ability to be extremely versatile while giving a noticeable downside to her.

I think this would be a really good add-on that can make games against Huntress so much more interesting.

  • That's bad and so much work to implement.

  • It's creative. But being unable to use basic attacks for any period of time brings back the issues with old Freddy, so I doubt that's ever going to happen.

    Hence not just the recall mechanic, but its ability to work AS a basic attack even as a projectile, which is actually huge if you think about it. The amount of synergy and depth this version would have would be nuts.
