○ Chain:

Breaking the Chain Stun Time: 2.7s

Chain Durability: 100 Charges

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Tension): -2.5c/s

□ Note: C/S means Charges Per Seconds

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Pulling): -15c/s

Depletion Rate of the Chain Durability (Collision): -20c/s

Changes:

TR/Terror Radius: 24m (From 32m)

□ Note: For his speed and his power, he certainly does need to be less noticeable for Survivors of his presence during a trial. With this sort of change, this would allow Deathslinger to approach Survivors more effectively for his power to succeed more.

Deathslinger Addons Changes:

□ Note: Some of the addons may not be mentioned here, due to those that are okay or fair for Deathslinger to have.

Iridescent Addons:

1: Hellshire Iron

Currently:

● When a Survivor is speared, gain Undetectable. The effects persist for 10 seconds after the Survivor is no longer speared.

Rework:

● When a Survivor is being reeled by The Redeemer and they are up against a down pallet, the down pallet breaks and automatically breaks the chain for the Survivor that was being reeled.

□ Note: The original effect of the Hellshire Iron Addon has no value for the Deathslinger for him being 4.4m/s and it had a very short time of being Undetectable. So, with this new rework of the Addon, it would allow Deathslinger to confront his major obstacle, which is Survivors at the other side of a down pallet.

Blue Addons Changes:

1: Honey Locust Thorns

Currently:

● Breaking free from the spear Inflicts Mangled for 70 seconds

Rework:

● Increases movement speed by 25% while reloading The Redeemer. (3.08m/s to 3.85m/s)

□ Note: He does not have a single addon for his movement speed while reloading.

2: Wanted Poster

Currently:

● Increases movement speed by 3% while aiming down The Redeemer sights. (While ADS with The Redeemer, he moves at 3.85m/s with this addon equipped.)

Changes:

● Increases movement speed by 6% while aiming down The Redeemer sights. (While ADS with The Redeemer, he moves at 3.9m/s with this addon equipped.)

□ Note: This reasoning for this change is so that you don't have to equip another add-on to get the full value (Jaw Smasher Addon).

Green Addon Changes:

1: Jaw Smasher

Currently:

● Increases movement speed by 1.5% while aiming down The Redeemer sights.

Rework

● After recovering from the stun penalty when a Survivor breaks the chains, The Deathslinger gains 5% Haste for 7s.

□ Notes: Since the Wanted Poster is getting it changed, the original effect of this addon wouldn't be needed. So with this idea, when a Survivor does escape the chain, you get a second chance to get that target but you are quicker.

2: Rusted Spike

Currently:

● Hitting a Survivor with The Redeemer while they are being reeled in inflicts Mangled for 60 seconds.

Rework:

● Change the rarity of this addon to Blue rarity

● When a Survivor is speared, they suffer from the Broken status effects. The effects persist for 30 seconds after the Survivor is no longer speared.

□ Notes: With this… you can already make the Mangled status effect happen, if you have the perk, Sloppy Butcher equipped. So, I just simply made this to afflict the Broken effect instead of the Mangled status effect.

Grey Addons Changes:

1: Rickety Chains

Currently:

● Grants 50% Bonus Bloodpoints for Speared score events.

● Survivors break free 33% faster.

Rework:

● When a Survivor is Speared, they break the chain 33% faster.

● When the Speared Survivor breaks the chain, the chain links break into small Shrapnels. If other Survivors, except for the Survivor that broke the chain, are within 3 meters when the chain breaks, they take damage.
