Buff The Unknowns UVX projectile.. pls
The Unknown currently feels far weaker and less rewarding than other ranged killers like Dead by Daylight killers such as The Deathslinger or The Huntress, despite requiring significantly more prediction and setup to use effectively. Huntress can reliably pressure survivors with direct hatchets that reward mechanical skill immediately. Deathslinger can quickly confirm pressure through his gun and force survivors into difficult situations even if he misses. The Unknown, meanwhile, has to land UVX in a much less consistent way while also dealing with survivors being able to remove Weakened simply by staring. Against experienced survivors, it can feel like you do everything right just for your power to get shut down too easily. UVX projectile speed feels too slow for how demanding the power is. Survivors can didge it consistently in open areas, and on maps like Dead Dog Saloon where line of sight matters heavily, The Unknown struggles to maintain pressure at all. Missing UVX is far more punishing than missing a Huntress hatchet or a Deathslinger shot because he lacks the chase recovery tools those killers have.The risk/reward ratio feels off. The Unknown has one of the more creative and skill-based powers in the game, but the payoff often does not match the effort required to use him effectively. Small buffs like increasing UVX projectile speed, slightly reducing how quickly survivors remove Weakened, or improving overall chase consistency would make him feel much healthier without making him overpowered.Right now, it feels like The Unknown has to work twice as hard as other ranged killers for half the reward. Currently, I think that a crawl sorta power would've worked way better then the UVX projectile. BHVR hyped the unknown up, just for him to have a slow, unreliable projectile, compared to other killers such as the ones I stated earlier.

I am a killer main and I play unknown a lot (very fun killer) and after the buffs he seems fine to me, like he is rn pretty balanced.
I really just want an addon that lets me practice their shots better especially with the ability to shoot them to the sky now. Putting them in 2v8 would give me a good environment to practice them in.
