New Killer Idea - The Sludge

Killer Concept: The Sludge

Height: Large
Movement Speed: 4.6 m/s
Terror Radius: 32 metres
Weapon: Sludge Tendril

Killer Power:

The Sludge is a shapeless creature capable of dissolving into a puddle and moving unseen beneath its prey.

Special Ability: Liquid Form

Press the Power button to dissolve into a puddle of sludge.

While in Liquid Form:

  • The Sludge becomes Undetectable.
  • Movement speed is increased to 6.0 m/s.
  • Cannot attack, grab, break pallets, damage generators, or interact with Survivors.
  • Leaves faint sludge trails visible to attentive Survivors.

Press the Power button again to reform.

After reforming:

  • The Sludge suffers a 2-second recovery period.
  • Movement speed is significantly reduced during this recovery.
  • Cannot attack until the recovery ends.

Power Meter: Sludge Trap

Successful attacks charge the Sludge Trap meter. Once fully charged, in Liquid Form, The Sludge can emerge beneath a survivor and cover them in sludge.

A sludge covered survivor is heavily slowed for a short duration leaving sludge trails behind as they move.

Survivors can remove the sludge by completing a short interaction or waiting for the effect to expire. The Sludge must reform before attacking the survivor after trapping them.

I randomly had this idea come to me and started thinking this actually would be really cool to see in DBD, since we don't actually have any sort of gooey/sludge/mud-like monster. Let me know what you guys think.

  • i think this is a bit too similar to vecna. if vecna didnt exist id say thats a pretty interesting power.
