Multipurpose mobility concept

Bro, I literally spent 15 minutes refining the rough edges and typing it out and my internet crapped itself so hard that it softlocked me on a buffer screen that I have to redo it again. UGHHHHHHHH


My friend who hates dbd has this idea for slinger to be able to use his spear to close the distance if he hit an object.

I took that and cranked the skillcap up to 11 and made it so hitting survivors with it was NOT what you're supposed to do.


Special Ability: Grapple Sprint


  • You have the ability to cling to objects up to a certain distance. (Somewhere close to the max distance you can shoot a biopod with Singularity and have it spawn.)
  • Once the power collides with an object, continue holding down the power button to reel yourself towards it at breakneck speed. (Slightly faster than normal blight speed without addons since the shooting of the grappling hook is enough to telegraph the potential attack and play around it.)
  • Colliding with an object will end your sprint, regaining control of your movement after 0.5 seconds.
  • During your sprint, you can swing your weapon to injure survivors. Lunging does not aid in deviating from your trajectory. However, you can utilise it to have a lengthier window to land the attack.
  • After landing an attack, your special attack cooldown is reduced by 40%.
  • Attacking a survivor does not end your sprint.
  • When attacking a survivor subsequently in the same sprint should the first attack put them into the injured state, inflict deep wound.
  • Should you fire your grapple through a window or over a pallet, leap over it and retain your sprint. You may attack during this leap.
  • Should you let go of the reel button, your momentum will carry you and if positioned correctly, even have you swiftly curve around corners.
  • To prematurely exit the sprint, tap the killer interaction button. Exiting the sprint in this manner will have you retain your momentum and trajectory without the influence of the tether for 0.5 seconds.

Here's my notes when creating this which helped bring this to life! :>


You can grapple up to the same distance as Singularity can shoot his pods. You can choose to reel yourself in to gain speed but also reduce how wide you whip around when you finally reach the place you shot. Time it right with the right angle, you can zip around like a blight hacking his turn rate. You can also just use it to zip to a point. It can be used through windows and over pallets, giving you mobility but the lunge can't deviate from the trajectory.
