After you mention Trickster i instantly remembered about how i talked in Trickster rework video that his power would work more on a soldier that was good with knife than a k-pop singer. Now i have a power idea:
Name: The Patriot
Speed: 4.4m/s
Terror radius: 24 meters (8-40 meters lullaby which would be America anthem without words but you can change it with a skin to other countries)
Height: average
Power:
Point of Reference
You can put a knife with a rope to the ground or throw it. You can pull yourself to this knife from anywhere on the map or pull it to you to use it again. When the thrown knife hits the ground nothing happenes but you can pull yourself to it and if it hits a survivor you instantly pull yourself to them.
Prideful Heart
When you pull yourself to the knife by any means you can't use it again for 15 seconds but you get a 15% speed boost, and longer lunge by 50% for 10 seconds.
Horn for the People
On the map you can find a horn on the wall that no one can see. If you pick it up, you play on it which shows the killers instinct. If survivor find it first, they break it making it unuseable. Entity repairs it in 45 seconds after survivor breakes it or 30 seconds when killer uses it.
Ofcourse it could be too OP or too weak or it completly wouldn't work, it's just an idea
I know for chapter 30 is the predator sadly has a blaster as a range attack.
Idea: A killer that uses arrows like in horizon zero dawn/forbiden west that work like clowns bottles, giving status effects on hit.
But they don't deal damage (unless some add-one is used or something) and they could inflict hinderd, deep wound, exposed, etc.
This could fill the clown role but think about it, clown is about slowdown, making the survivor slower and yourself faster.
This one would inflict different effects, and it would be cool tbh
Before I even watch the video, I say yes. I've been wanting another ranged killer since the 6th Anniversary
Watching you get more calm when recording over the past few vids is nice to see
maybe like a boomerang-wielding ranged killer
so the projectile doesn’t move vertically in any way (neither does it drop down, nor go up) and instead moves horizontally in an arc
could definitely see it being used for some trickshots, like shooting over corners (kinda what you can do with trickster with his purple addon that makes the blades ricochet, but the proposed projectile just goes in an arc, no ricochet)
the killer must also have the ability to adjust the horizontal skewness of the boomerang’s arc, otherwise the power would be trash (kinda like you can charge the hatchet with huntress and this will affect the arc)
It doesn’t really sound too different from huntress on paper but me thinks gameplay wise would feel like a fresh experience
small oversight Artist is a killer who can take health states from across the map through walls. So you could also count her as a ranged killer.
A hitscan killer is definitely possible! It just needs to be like trickster where the attack fills a meter and then the damage is dealt. I've also played around the idea of a killer using grenades. They can either throw the grenade quickly and it will explodes where it lands after a few seconds, or they can cook it, but give the survivor time to get away
pov the plague: am i a joke to you
i was actually thinking about this last night. if predator is the next chapter i hope it has a ranged ability. maybe a heatsense mode that locks on plasma castors to survivors and they have to periodically cover themselves in mud to prevent it.
Love how people feel the need to try and gender a Xenomorph. Pretty sure Drones are sterile in Xenomorph hives until they Morph to a Queen them become "Female" I guess. Just funny to me.
I just want bioshock, please behavior please
We need an artillery killer
didnt talk about Artist or Xeno
Ever since Trickster released, it was very apparent to me that the category "ranged killer" is just done, they need other concepts than that, as Trickster was literally a weaker Huntress with the same reload requirement and an "ultimate" that was very pathetic when it hit PTB and was for a very long time. Its just a very oversaturated design at this point.
The Fear from Mgs3 has two crossbows. One that deals damage but take longer to reload and one that reloads quickly but only causes a hindered or exaustion. Maybe have him be invisible until he attacks and he gets fatigue like nurse when does a melee attack. Always thought he could be a semi-hybrid killer
Quick on the spot Concept (SPIDER KILLER): shoots Web that wraps round and hinders, Survivors must do fast immediate skill checks like 'Merciless storm' WHILE running or they do a new incorporated tripping over action/animation. Could Hve spiderlings doing whatever devs feel like but yeah like I said just Quick so only thought of the power also! SPIDER MAP: Could be a cold damp cave the walls are just sticky cob webs with liquid gunk SIMILAR TO (SHELOBS LAIR) IN LORD OF THE RINGS.and everything else ill leave to all your own imaginations.
I think the killer who pulls themselves towards the survivor could be a really cool design maybe even have it be a grappling hook which would intro dice map traversal and maybe some insane chase potential like grappling onto a top floor to cut off a survivor but tbh it would probably be too goofy to have a killer swinging around the map and grappling onto survivors. I’m also surprised we haven’t gotten a fire based killer yet maybe they lay fire traps to scorch survivors or use the fire directly when they m1 a survivor. Another thing is what if they made an Apollyon For Honor skin for the knight with one of her executions from FH as her mori (she has some brutal executions in that could be used as a mori)
So I appear to have forgotten about Artist…look Im not gonna make any excuse I legit forgot she exists.
But if anything I think Artist existing further proves that we dont need any more ranged killers
Ok, dear Evan Hansen was a good one
Give me a harpoon gun killer that pins survivors to walls
I would love a boomerang-like range killer, but I don't know how they'd implement that without being seen as too silly.
A range killer that pulls themselves towards the survivors is kind of the singularity
Ok hear me out, Clown bottles, but they are grenades. Delayed AOE damage to prevent a vault point for a specific short timeframe. A grenadier sounds sweet. Maybe he can even set them on dropped pallets as a Dissolution (pallet break)+damage on fast vault. Doesn't even have to be a dude, could be a mushroom thing throwing poison spores. Edit: I know this is close to what you say about ranged Trapper, but I don't care lol, its cool
HAHAHA THE DOODZ BIT WAS PERFECT!!! I wasn't expecting you to bring it back at the end HAHAHA
There is a way you could do a hitscan killer. Why not make a killer who uses a flamethrower? We have flame use already thanks to the Xenomorph, so you could turn that flame into a killer power. A guy who’s like the Pyro who just runs around trying to torch the survivors and has to get more ammo from the lockers
this is a dumb Idea but I was thinking of a killer who can build scrap made weapons, one melee with status effects, and one ranged single shot weapon (was thinking of a poorly made lupara type shotgun but that's leaning into hitscan territory so I'm holding off on that) basically the gist is this, whenever you kick a gen you earn scrap, kick enough gens, you earn enough scrap to build a power weapon, lets say two for the melee and 4 for the ranged weapon, this is in a way to make a "earn your power" type of ranged killer that has been prevalent in a few others.
This is why I think if they bring Terminator into the game it has to be T-1000 and not Arnold because Arnold uses guns and it would be weird if the guns wernt hitscan and what is arnold going to do if he isnt using guns, walk around punching people?
All I want is a Butcher killer (legit butcher or THE Butcher from Diablo, either works) that can throw a hook like Roadhog from OW. I want my sloppy butcher to be thematic god damnit
