  I think its main purpose was to stop hillbillies who would just stand at hook revving their chainsaw, they can still camp but it gives survivors a chance to at least trade hooks.

  I do agree that overheat mechanic do stop hillbilly from camping, but it effect his normal gameplay too much; I could down a survivor with a chainsaw and carry them to a hook and the overheat still on cooldown, Hillbilly kit requires him to constantly uses his chainsaw to doing everything such as map traversal, breaking pallet/ door, catch up with survivor and downing them. The only thing this mechanic do is hinder him. If this mechanic is implemented to stop Hillbilly from camping with his chainsaw, I would say it is a lazy way, if BHVR wanted to stop camping with chainsaw, they could've done the same thing they did with Bubba to Hillbilly, where instead of the overheat being tied to your overall revving, it should be overheat only when your chainsaw is revving and deplete immediately when he let go of the chainsaw.

  in Is the Hillbilly's Overheat machanic even necessary? Comment by MonochromePie October 7, 2022
