New Mechanic Concept
Base-Kit Mechanic Concept: The Shrouded Phase
To improve early-game balance and viability for setup-reliant Killers, introduce a global, temporary Shrouded Phase at the start of every match.
How It Works
Visual Fog: The match begins in a dense, low-visibility fog similar to Lights Out mode.
Generator Slowdown: Survivor generator repair speeds are significantly reduced while the fog is active.
Perk Delay: Early-game information perks (e.g., Lethal Pursuer) are paused and will only activate once the phase ends.
The Trigger: The fog lifts globally for all players the exact moment the Killer initiates the first chase.
Why This Change is Good for the Game
Buffers Setup Killers: Characters like Trapper and Hag can safely place traps and establish map pressure without being spotted or rushed by survivors at the start.
Balances High-Mobility Killers: Top-tier Killers cannot immediately pinpoint and cross-map target survivors, leveling the playing field across the entire Killer roster.
Restores Horror Atmosphere: The opening seconds feel tense and unpredictable, discouraging survivors from mindlessly splitting up and rushing objectives immediately.
Please let me know your thoughts! :D
