What addons do you think billy could have with his new pass?
We know another pass is coming. With basekit changes. (Hopefully making engravings not so entegral and maybe making the quieter chainsaw and chainsaw hitbox addons basekit) with how bad some of his addons are now. And to avoid going back to "faster chainsaw go vrrrrm" i thought id ask for some ideas for addons while keeping billys main basekit feel?
One idea i saw on reddit a bit ago was another purple like lopro "hitting a window with your chainsaw prevents a bump, instead transitioning to a 15% faster vault" making windows less safe vs him.
Some of his addons could just have some drawbacks removed, like the red should just make you undetectable while sawing in general. And the other just makes the saw silent. Whats your ideas?

The Thompson's Mix, Thompson's Moonshine and maybe some of the add-ons he used to share with Bubba.
Hopefully the engravings remain untouched. Oh, one more thing:
faster chainsaw go vrrrrm!
(On the insta-saw thing) Those were the days but also part of the reason the first rework happened lol. Thats why im trying to think of more unique addons. But yeah itd be fun to see the decomissioned ones return.
I think they should get creative with his add-ons and bring in different ways of playing. Some ideas may be.
1. Reduce the sprint speed, but instead he can steer better and do a Bubba-style chain attack of up to 3 times, where the final swing would be extended at a very rapid speed.
2. Smashing a breakable wall or pallet with the chainsaw injures any survivor within a 3m 180° angle ahead of him.
3. If sprinting up am upward incline, Hillbilly can gain extra airtime to go further distances.
4. A chainsaw down gets everyone within a 24m radius to scream, revealing their location.
5. Being stunned pr blinded by any means whilst using the chainsaw gives Hillbilly 5% haste for the next 20 seconds.
I wonder how an add on to make his dash have significantly slower acceleration, but increase the duration of his faster his turn speed would play out as an easier to control version for controller...
The hope would be an easier to use, but significantly less effective version of his chainsaw power compared to a skilled Billy... but ofc, could easily become a dumbed down version for PC players too... 🤔
We add a little: "Charge-time gains do not tack" and we're golden.
First off, Doom Engravings should be basekit, makes him much better in chase
Hoping they add something that gets rid of the collision when initially starting a sprint to make curving a bit easier on more various loops would be neat
Another one would be to be able to continue a sprint after hitting a Survivor
Still being able to use your chainsaw while overheated, but it only damages for 1 health state
After getting a down with the chainsaw, reveal everyone with killer instinct
My dream tho is that this isn't just an add on pass, but a full on rework. In fact those add ons are mostly from this post:
None of this will happen, the addons wont happen either, but its fun to be creative
Old Insta-Saw was kind of a by-product of Old Tinkerer, Old Tinkerer has been gutted.
I think he can used one of his charge speed addons added back, not both though, or at least provide a downside to using both like Billy's current addons.
There's a valid argument for LoPro Chains to be basekit. Pretty much the only way to punish pre-dropping, and even then you usually have to hit a curve to do it.
I would say make his chainsaw hitbox extend down a bit further so you don't have a chance to miss anyone simply going down a set of stairs and so you slide off them.
An addon that allows Hillbilly to keep sprinting after chainsawing through a survivor similar to the one for pallets. edit - Also some sort of stipulation to prevent it from working at hooks to prevent Bubba related incidents. Just think in practice outside of hooks it could be cool to have a low tier addon that can be used for surprise plays such as survivors trying to bodyblock or grouping up in bad spots.
A single addon to increase chainsaw charge time slightly or alternatively add two varying ones with a drawback on the higher tier one. Stacking rev speed was kind of busted and made worse with tinkerer but that was genuinely the only major issue old Billy had. Even so it wasn't exactly something that made him unbeatable or oppressive.
I'm mostly banking on overheat being removed for brand new addons honestly. Wouldn't mind lopro chains being basekit somehow as I feel that addon greatly increases Hillbilly's chance for skill expression. Essentially being able to rivet and rebound off of pallets and breakable walls.
Give him an addon to vault windows during the chainsaw sprint but then only allow him to injure survivors (LoPros for windows).
Another addon could set the timer for the increased turn rate to 1 second (would also make him a bit more accessible for console players).
Mother's Helpers should be merched with Black Grease. Then Mother's Helpers could reduce his movement speed during a chainsaw sprint by 20% but allow him to press a button to give him increased turn rate for 0.75 seconds at will. A hit after this would result in only one lost health state.
He could also use an addon to make him 5% faster while revving (so he'd move at 97% during that time).
Most importantly though, he should have an addon that activates whenever he is stunned and plays the voice line: "Oh no. Don't do that." by Pinhead for the survivor that stunned him. And Billy should say: "Gotta go fast." instead of his roar.
