The Pig's add-ons: A detailed list of changes and ideas
PIG MAINS UNITE!
Greetings. As most of you probably don't know, "The Pig" possesses a numerous amount of add-ons that with time have been considered very niche or at even useless at certain points. The problem with this killer is that not only is considered Mid-tier at best but has very little uses of her add-ons (By most people, only 30% of her add-ons are considered decent).
I've decided to rework each one of her less useful add-ons, starting with one ultra rare add-on the community has pretty much agreed to be very underwhelming. (Add-ons will be also have a change in their description in the way I see fit).
Rule Set No. 2 (Ultra Rare)
ADD-ON REMOVED: "Disables the Survivors' ability to see Jigsaw Boxes highlighted until their Trap is activated." Is now part of base power of "Jigsaw's baptism".
NOTE: There's another version for Rule Set No. 2 below in case it gets reworked!
Workshop Grease (Common)
"A simple tube filled with with a lubricant substance, even the smallest amount renders objects difficult to grasp or interact with."
CHANGE: Slightly increases the time it takes to search a Jigsaw box (1.68 seconds)
Broken Syringe (Common)
"Symbol of a broken way of life. Reminiscing about her past-self hardens her determination."
CHANGE: Slightly increases the range of the Ambush Attack (From 16 meters to 17.5 meters)
Utility Blades (Uncommon)
"A modification to the Reverse Bear Trap: sharp blades attached to the Trap's interior lacerate the victim with every movement."
CHANGE: Survivors caught in the Reverse Bear trap suffer a slightly penalty to all actions (4 or 6%). Also applies the haemorrhage status effect.
Razor Wires (Uncommon)
"A modification to the Jigsaw Box: the addition of razor sharp wires makes it extra difficult and potentially painful to search them."
CHANGE: Considerably increases the time it takes to search a Jigsaw box when Injured. (3.6 seconds)
Bag of Gears (Rare)
"A few mechanical parts that allow the creation of challenging Jigsaw Boxes and Reverse Bear Traps."
BUFF & CHANGE: Moderately increases the time it takes to search a Jigsaw box (From Slightly, up to 2.5 seconds). Increases available Reverse Bear traps by 1. Time decreased on trap placement removed as it was little to no use.
Interlocking Razor (Changed to Very Rare from Rare)
"A modification to the Jigsaw Box: the addition of interlocking razor blades makes it impossible to move suddenly in the Jigsaw Box without slitting one's wrists."
CHANGE: Survivors freeing themselves from the Reverse Bear Trap become Injured and scream, revealing their position for 4 seconds. (Calm spirit nullifies the scream, not revealing your position)
Crate of Gears (Very Rare)
"This collection of mechanical parts allows the creation of extra-challenging Jigsaw Boxes and Reverse Bear Traps."
BUFF & CHANGE: Considerably increases the time it takes Survivors to search a Jigsaw Box (3.6 seconds), Increases available Reverse Bear traps by 2. Time decreased on trap placement removed as it was little to no use.
Amanda's Secret (Very Rare)
"A black metal box containing a knife and various medical supplies, such as bandages and compresses. Deep cuts reduce stress and awaken the senses."
CHANGE: While crouched or charging up an ambush attack, "The Pig" is completely silent. (This includes entering/exiting crouching state, moving, breathing and removes the roar from her ambush attack).
Amanda's letter (Ultra rare)
A blackmailing Letter for the attention of Amanda. Fills the reader with rage and focus.
BUFF: While crouched, see outlines of Survivors within a range of 18 meters (up from 12); Reduces available Reverse Bear traps by 2 (Down from 3); Reduces available Jigsaw's boxes by 1 (Down from 2)
NEW ADD-ON: Heroine Syringe (Ultra rare) (I've borrowed the Syringe icon from the survivors :3)
A small syringe filled with a clear, white liquid. The sight of it awakens the memories of a life filled with sorrow, dread and fear.
"Now you think about what you're doing, think about everything that you've done... think about what you promised me" - Jigsaw
DESCRIPTION: While in a chase, press the "Control" key to immediately execute an Ambush Attack. "Ambush Attack" has now a cool-down of 30 seconds.
Moderately decreases the range of Ambush Attack (From 16 meters to 11.5 meters, that's the equivalent of 3 lunges instead of 4) Moderately increases the penalty of a missed Ambush attack. (35% increased cool-down on a missed ambush attack)
Rule Set No. 2 (Ultra-rare) (This is the reworked version)
CHANGE: Each time a survivor finishes searching a Jigsaw's box. Every other's survivor that are not trapped have their auras revealed to you for 8 seconds.
Waiting for feedback! I've worked hard on this so please leave a post on what you would improve!
Comments
Based on what?Read above.
Based on anecdotal evidence?
Dusting off this thread a bit. It needs attention!
GREAT NEWS! Scorpionz is now aiding me in the creation of this thread with his concepts and ideas! Having a 4000 hours pig main will surely profit in the success of the thread! (We created the new reworked Rule Set No. 2, hopefully some other interesting changes will come out soon!)
UPDATE: After some concerns regarding the Syringe... I added 10 seconds of CD to make it more balanced.
Added a new version of Rule Set No. 2 following the concern of some players regarding the effect to be too strong or problematic to be baseline.
