A non op or ip killer idea

The Hoarder — Killer Concept (Reframed & Clarified)

Core Design Philosophy

The Hoarder is not about ending chases faster.

He is a territorial control killer who reshapes movement and routing over time by trading personal power for environmental influence.

Every part of his kit locks out another part. Nothing stacks freely. Survivors always retain counterplay.

Killer Overview

Speed: 4.6 m/s

Terror Radius: 32 meters

Difficulty: Intermediate

Theme: Improvised violence, cluttered spaces, and territorial obsession

The Hoarder thrives in confined spaces but is deliberately disadvantaged in mobility and traversal. Survivors are faster at navigating clutter; the Hoarder is better at rearranging it.

Weapons

Rusty Bathroom Pipe (Primary Weapon)

A heavy, improvised melee weapon emphasizing commitment and fatigue.

Primary Attack — 

Crushing Weight

Design Intent: High risk, high commitment pressure tool.

This is not a chase-skipper.

• Hold the Attack button to wind up a heavy swing.
  
  
• Upon release, the Hoarder lunges forward, swinging the pipe in a wide arc.
  
  
• Missing or striking terrain causes a prolonged fatigue state.
  
  
• Strong visual and audio telegraphing (screen shake, grunts, slow recovery).
  
  

This attack is meant to punish positioning mistakes, not guarantee hits.

Special Power — 

Junk Management

The Hoarder interacts with clutter in ways Survivors cannot — but loses mobility in exchange.

Junk Stacks (Environmental Objects)

Junk Stacks appear naturally across the map, especially in The Crowded House, but are not exclusive to it.

Survivor Interaction

• Survivors can squeeze through Junk Stacks naturally.
  
  
• Survivors can perform Clear Path to remove a stack.
  
  
• Clear Path is faster than opening a chest.
  
  
• Survivors may also choose to path around the stack, similar to pallet routing.

Killer Interaction

• The Hoarder cannot squeeze through Junk Stacks.
  
  
• He may Topple a stack:
  
  
  • Clearing his own path
    
    
  • Or blocking a Survivor’s route temporarily
    
    

Design Note:

Junk Stacks function as reverse pallets.

Instead of Survivors dropping obstacles on the Killer, the Killer reshapes clutter and Survivors adapt.

Nothing is permanent. Nothing is instant.

Special Attack — 

Junk Volley (Bottles)

Design Intent: Area control and tempo disruption, not raw damage.

• The Hoarder throws scavenged bottles.
  
  
• He alternates automatically between two types:
  
  

Brittle Glass

• Shatters on impact.
  
  
• Applies Hemorrhage.
  
  
• Used to pressure healing and force repositioning.
  
  

Sticky Residue

• Creates a syrupy puddle.
  
  
• Slows Survivor movement within the area.
  
  
• Used to control loops and deny routes.
  
  

Important:

Bottles are utility tools. They do not replace chase fundamentals.

Alternate Ability — 

Glass-Shards Mod

This ability is a hard commitment trade-off.

Activation

• Hold the Active Ability button to smash the current bottle onto the pipe.
  
  

Effects

• Ranged bottle throws are disabled for the duration.
  
  
• The pipe gains:
  
  
  • Slightly increased range
    
    
  • Deep Wound on hit
    
    
• Duration is limited.
  
  

Design Intent

This is a stance switch, not a power spike.

You choose:

• Zoning and control (bottles), OR
  
  
• Close-range threat (shards)
  
  

You cannot have both.

Add-ons & Visual Feedback

• Add-ons enhance one aspect of the kit while reinforcing trade-offs.
  
  
• Vein glow, shard effects, and sack animations clearly telegraph state changes.
  
  
• Survivors always know what mode the Hoarder is in.
  
  

The Map — 

The Crowded House

A claustrophobic environment designed to showcase path negotiation.

• Narrow hallways partially blocked by clutter.
  
  
• Survivors maintain traversal advantage through tight spaces.
  
  
• The Hoarder must decide whether to:
  
  
  • Clear clutter
    
    
  • Block routes
    
    
  • Or reposition entirely
    
    

Exit Area — The Pool

• Stagnant water slows all players.
  
  
• Floating debris reinforces theme and final chase tension.
  
  

Survivors

Chrissy Smith — 

The Concerned Wife

Focus: Altruism, awareness, and preparation.

Perks emphasize:

• Clearing junk efficiently
  
  
• Reading environmental changes
  
  
• Anticipating the Hoarder’s setups
  
  

Larry Morris — 

The Feuding Neighbor

Focus: Risk, spite, and disruption.

Perks reward:

• Staying near danger
  
  
• Sabotaging the Hoarder’s control
  
  
• Turning his territory against him

Key Clarification (Why This Is Different)

• The Hoarder does not remove loops — he reshapes them temporarily.
  
  
• Survivors always have:
  
  
  • Faster movement through clutter
    
    
  • Clear Path options
    
    
  • Route alternatives
    
    
• Every killer action costs:
  
  
  • Time
    
    
  • Mobility
    
    
  • Or ranged pressure

This is territorial pressure, not oppression.

PERKS — REFRAMED & CLARIFIED

🟥 KILLER PERKS

Tight Corners

“It’s not your fault everyone else gets lost.”

Design Intent: Anti-abuse, not anti-loop.

• If a Survivor vaults the same pallet more than twice within 20 seconds while inside the Killer’s Terror Radius, they suffer a brief Movement Speed reduction for 8 seconds.
  
  
• Does not trigger on different pallets.
  
  
• Encourages route changes instead of repetitive vault spam.
  
  

Why it’s fair:

This perk does not punish normal looping — only excessive repetition in one location.

Kleptomaniac

“You really can’t keep your hands off, can you?”

Design Intent: Flavorful reward, not gameplay snowballing.

• When the Killer moris a Survivor, 15% of that Survivor’s final Bloodpoints are added to the Killer’s total.
  
  
• No effect during the match itself.
  
  

Why it’s fair:

This perk has zero gameplay impact — it’s purely thematic progression flavor.

🟦 SURVIVOR PERKS

Holding Value

“It’ll be worth something eventually.”

Design Intent: Reward survival, not stalling.

• The longer the trial lasts, the more Bloodpoints you earn.
  
  
• No effect on objectives, speed, or gameplay advantages.
  
  

Why it’s fair:

Encourages resilience without promoting hiding or delaying the game.

Tower of Newspapers

“You know you’ve seen this place before.”

Design Intent: Small information spike, not endgame control.

• When the Hatch opens:
  
  
  • Survivors see its aura for 5 seconds
    
    
  • The Killer sees it for 2 seconds
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Gives Survivors a brief head start, not guaranteed escape.

Rocky’s Remains

“You found what was left of your old dog.”

Design Intent: Risk-reward awareness tool.

• When the Killer performs a Mori:
  
  
  • The Killer’s aura is revealed for 5 seconds
    
    
  • Survivors within 32 meters gain Haste for 5 seconds
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Triggers only after a Mori — a rare, high-commitment moment.

Household Maintenance

(Chrissy Smith)

“You’ve spent years cleaning up after him.”

Design Intent: Counterplay to territorial control.

• Increases Clear Path speed by 30/40/50%
  
  
• Successfully clearing junk reveals the Killer’s aura for 6 seconds
  
  

Why it’s fair:

Rewards proactive interaction with the Hoarder’s terrain changes.

Early Warning

(Chrissy Smith)

“You know the signs before it happens.”

Design Intent: Telegraph awareness.

• When the Killer performs the Shatter action:
  
  
  • You hear a unique audio cue
    
    
  • The Killer’s aura is revealed for 4/5 seconds
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Does not cancel the power — it warns, not nullifies.

Intervention

(Chrissy Smith)

“Your presence is meant to calm.”

Design Intent: Group recovery, not chase immunity.

• While within 8 meters of another Survivor:
  
  
  • Exhausted, Blindness, and Mangled recover 20% faster
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Encourages teamwork but requires proximity and downtime.

Property Line Spite

(Larry Morris)

“You take pleasure in messing with his ‘precious’ belongings.”

Design Intent: High-risk stealth reward.

• After spending 30 seconds in the Killer’s Terror Radius without being chased:
  
  
  • Your next Fast Vault is silent
    
    
  • Leaves no scratch marks for 3 seconds
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Requires deliberate danger exposure to activate.

Neighborhood Watch

(Larry Morris)

“You know every inch of this place.”

Design Intent: Information + clutch disruption.

• While the Killer is carrying a Survivor:
  
  
  • You see auras of Junk Stacks and Pallets within 32 meters
    
    
• If within 16 meters of the carried Survivor:
  
  
  • Their Wiggle speed is increased by 10%
    
    
• Once per trial, if hiding in a Locker and the Killer is within 4 meters:
  
  
  • Press the Active Ability button to burst out and Stun the Killer for 3 seconds
    
    
  • You become the Obsession
    
    

Why it’s fair:

Powerful, but:

• One-time use
  
  
• Requires extreme proximity
  
  
• Forces Obsession risk
  
  

Final Perk Philosophy Summary

• Killer perks discourage abuse, not skill
  
  
• Survivor perks reward interaction, not avoidance
  
  
• Nothing deletes counterplay
  
  
• Most power comes from positioning and timing, not raw numbers
  
  

.KILLER ADD-ONS — THE HOARDER

Add-On Design Philosophy

The Hoarder’s add-ons do not remove counterplay.

They either:

• Push him further into melee commitment, or
  
  
• Improve territorial control, or
  
  
• Reward planning over reaction
  
  

No add-on is meant to make him good at everything at once.
