Clown's reload speed is still atrocious without addons

Like I really want to try playing with other addons, mixing and matching different ones. But the reload duration is so bonkers to not take a reload addon with you. 😵

    Yes. You either have to use faster reload addons, or aim carefully and make those bottles count.

    One thing I often do to go around it is this: I try hitting survivors with my cocktails to slow them down and get a hit. Then, they often run to a safe "run around that pallet for half an hour" place. There, while we're dancing around the pallet + long loop object, I can easily reload. If they break the dance, I cancel reloading and (hopefully) hit them. If they stick to it, I finish reloading and that helps me cutting that loop.

    It's hard to do around high walls or anything you can't see through, but on a lot of maps, especially Autohaven maps, most pallet loops are around low objects.

    What I'd do for clown is make his reload the following:

    2 seconds of reloading gives you 1 bottle. For every extra second you reload you get another until your full. So to fully reload you spend 5 seconds. However you can only reload 1 or 2 in 3 seconds.

    @George_Soros I played clown for a long while when he first released and used the "full lob distance to a gen" style to help with patrol but sometimes while trying a high lob without hitting anything the bottles would break (some not thrown more than 1m or so above me or just being "near" an object such as a tree etc but not actually hitting it. Have you experienced this and/or is this different now? I was considering returning to clown to level him up for the perks finally.
