New Power

Survivor Trap

This new Killer Interference Power is sure to cause some frightening experiences. With Survivor Trap, Killers can set a nasty trap on closed doors that explode in a fiery blaze when opened by an unwary Survivor. It also works on double-doors & trapdoors!

  • Killer Interference
  • 6 uses
  • 40s cooldown
  • The next door closed by any Killer in the map will be rigged with a booby trap. The door remains trapped for the remainder of the game until it is triggered. The amount of uses this Power has is equivalent to the amount of traps that can be placed total in one game.
    • When a Survivor opens the trapped door, an infernal explosion will set off, damaging all nearby Survivors and lighting them ablaze.
    • Explosion has a 6-block radius. Every Survivor caught in the blast loses 6 HP (3 Hearts) and is set on fire for 4 seconds. The Survivor that opens the trapped door is slowed by 75% for 1s, loses 8 HP (4 Hearts), and is set on fire for 6 seconds.

Balance Changes

    • This change was intended for the Halloween update, but we never go around to adding it, so here it is.

    • Survivor Swap

The Future…

New maps, more balances, bug fixes…the usual. Our next update may introduce new Killer weapons that do special things like an axe that slows Survivors & a bow to shoot them from afar. We’re also thinking about adding cool particle effects to Powers! We appreciate the dedicated time our small community puts towards our game and we cannot wait to share these new features with everyone.
