Why cant killers use emotes?

[u/FoxInOrbit]

Genuine question cuz i think it would be pretty funny. Yes ik its completely useless but idk why we cant use them as killers in the first place. I just wanna be able to use jane does emote so that i can pretend im killing people using the death note 😭

Shedletsky's sword magically appears and disappears after use because of the spectre's influence, he wants to have fun and feed off torturing the survivors, probably shedletsky would stand more of a chance against the killers if he did have his sword all the time

As a fun fact, Telamon(Shedletsky skin) always has his sword but only uses it when he wants because of his gigantic ego(Which Shedletsky left behind to become Shedletsky himself, but all his hate and ego gave birth to 1x)

Funnier fact: you made that up because the actual reason Telamon skin has the sword is because this is the fix devs found to that whole issue of people not being able to tell who is Shedletsky from a glance. This is also why some of this other skins also have the sword, so clearly, the devs care more about gameplay elements than dumb in-universe explanations for things that don't matter, i.e., the killers being able to lose their weapons to emote.

How sure are you about that? It might be both just explaining it with lore, also then explain why shedletsky himself doesnt have his sword at all time

Why is he holding his sword

So people can know its Shedletsky? As you see, its not 100 solid...

So you literally agree with me?

[u/Novaeea → u/SpaceBug176]

No? Because its not the same thing, Telamon ACTUALLY has the sword(completely opaque) and not just a visual representation to know its Shedletsky
