My predictions for Jason´s power.
So, with the reveal of Jason coming to DbD I wanted to brainstorm a little and think about how the gameplay of this iconic killer would be.
1. I think he is going to be a 4.4m/s killer basekit.
2. He will be able to TP. We have seen this treatment both in "MK XL" and "Friday the 13th: The Game" but I personally think it would be more like MK´s; maybe he has tombs that he can place to later teleport or something like that.
This might seem weird at first but in Jason Goes to Hell we´ve seen how the supernatural was always part of him as a character. However, I think this only would be part of his true power.
3. After coming from a tombstone, he gains undetectable for quite some time. In this period of time, he would be able to grab a survivor, maybe injuring them in the process, to gain haste for maybe a minute. Let´s call this mode "Revenge".
So, in "Revenge" mode, he would increase his speed to 4.6m/s ( or even further ). He would have a mini "Coup de Grâce" effect and maybe the time of his pallet stuns would be reduced.
I don´t think he would be a stealth killer like Ghosty or Myers that can inflict exposed to survivors. Yeah, they could give him the ability to quickly break pallets like Myers or maybe make him able to reset a pallet like Vecna does but I don´t think this would be the case for Jason.
So, with all that being said, I think the gameplay of Jason would be like Wraith´s: Hit & Run. Try to grab a survivor, TP to gain undetectable and commit to the chase if you feel like it. He´s a guy with a machete so idk what else he could possibly do, maybe have three different weapons.
Anyways, enough yapping, I´m curious to know what do you guys expect from him.
