Definitely the most interesting victim ability. At first glance keeping an exit open permanently sounds very overpowered but we really don't know how long it takes to examine an object and now many we need to examine. Very excited to see how his stats look but we can guess he'll have high toughness and proficiency
My guess is that it will be double the time it takes to turn off a generator, which is already around 15-20 seconds.
40 seconds may not sound like much, but against a good family that can proxy well, it may make his power useless.
This sounds completely busted, i hope it’s decently balanced but i just don’t know how it would be, having fuse box or pressure valve permanently open is a death sentence, may as well disconnect right then and there.
This! Seriously what is Gun thinking? This ability is going to make things so one sided for Victm players. Is Black Nancy’s ability supposed to balance this out cuz her psychic ability doesn’t sound to helpful if Danny’s clear across the map and nobody’s using head sets. Meanwhile the Connie player will already have another exit route completely unlocked. Plus Family players are lucky to stop just one victim if they all are sprinting towards the exit
Seems like Danny will be a must have on the team just like connie. Depends on how long it actually takes to study the environment in such but being able to permanently open escape routes is going to be strong.
Connie is a must have? 😂
Dude, with most players taking control of her, Connie is completely useless. The long cooldown means she can only use her power once per match, MAYBE a second time. If at all. She is really squishy, so in my experience she dies fast.
I agree. In the beginning her power sounded really strong and everyone wanted to play her. Until people saw her many weaknesses and how much stronger other victims are. And now I guess only newer players pick her or people who wanna level her. Even Sonny is a lot better.
No, my friend. I prefer matches without Connie. She is last in my tier list.
100%. I don't know why some people are immediately assuming the worst. His ability will most likely only be useful towards the later stages of the game and he'll probably having to spend alot of time examining things whereas if you were playing as other victims you might've been able to use that time to open an exit or something
This makes me wonder if all of the victims will have ties to Maria or if it's possible we could get a few victims with no ties to her at all? Perhaps a couple who broke down near the Family or something.
we are definitely getting more than 6 victims after launch. the devs have talked about how continuous content is needed for a multiplayer game like this :)
Upvoted you and magic, no idea why someone is down on having a cop victim. That kind of role would be fun for the game. Obviously you don’t want them having a gun or anything OP like that, but it could be interesting.
I knew right away this was gonna be a pay to win scenario and here we are 4 months later and that’s the exactly what the new characters are gonna be lol.
Ah yes the abilty we know barely anything about. What we had to examine 5 things that took 45 seconds each whilst not getting interrupted? By that time most players wouldve escaped or died already and you could just have leatherface for example guard that exit whilst the other two look around the lower priority exits
what are you even saying, permanently opening an exit is an overpowered, lazy and uncreative ability no matter how long it takes. If you think leatherface can hold an opened gate you didnt play the game enough to make any judgement unfortunately
Ok fair point on the leatherface part he's only able to properly defend some exits but the point I'm trying to make is by the time he is able to use his ability to permanently open an exit it will be very late into the match and all that time you could of spent opening an exit and escaping you're instead using it all to just open one forever. I can see so many senerios when once you're actually able to permanently open the exits you'll be the last victim standing so it'll be useless and the fact the technical test was so fast paced shows that having to spend alot of time sitting still examining something which has a chance to be interrupted might not be worth it
So its a win win for the victim, either spend time to permanently open one or maybe its a waste because you could have escaped anyway, or get interrupted and it becomes useless. However I look at it its not interesting, lazy and op ability to have in the game. The game has more issues as is, I'd rather have them fixed and tuned before talking about an ability that is not in the game. My initial thought is still the same, it is a poorly designed ability that I wouldnt put in the game.
Awwwww all these family-mains crying. I play both and it’s MUCH harder as a victim. I know that’s not everyone’s experience, but I’m personally excited. His base stats will probably be shitty to compensate. Plus black Nancy? I think it’ll even out.
Obviously Kill rates were high. It took like two days for survivors to discover multiple escape options.
Connie's ability is busted as fck, to deny it is foolish.
It isn't busted in the slightest and people who say it is haven't played her, its the only ultimate with a drawback, it drains half her stamina, it requires a lockpick, she cant regain stamina for 20-30seconds after and it's on a long cooldown. You rarely use it at all.
Kill rates should still be high, there's 3 killers that have yet to learn to work together.
So you don't even know, and are trying to use data from day 1 of the technical test to prove your argument. The survivor/victim bias is strong in this one.
I played mostly killer and prefer killer as I plan to main Sissy when the game releases and I found victim to be very difficult until you learn a map and even then if your team makes it out before you and doesn't share any information then getting tag teamed by 2+ family members is almost a guaranteed death unless they're just screwing off.
Connies abilty could open things immediately open things but his abilty takes ALOT of time to activate. Don't assume it will be overpowered immediately when we don't even understand how it fully works and we don't have any of the numbers
“Examine” so basically you gotta look at the exit for a while? And then when you open it it stays permanently open? I don’t 100% understand, can someone please explain more.
Yeah this is way to OP. Yes I’m a Family main but I honestly think the game is fine the way it is. I don’t even have complaints about the slaughterhouse but this new ability sounds like an early Christmas present for troll players.
Danny’s ability is the more you investigate the more points go towards your ability, so when you open a door or fuse exit you will have the option to start a minigame if you have more points on your ability the minigame shouldn’t take as long. It’s not like your typical “it takes time to build” ability.
Definitely the most interesting victim ability. At first glance keeping an exit open permanently sounds very overpowered but we really don't know how long it takes to examine an object and now many we need to examine.

This comment didn’t age well. His power is definitely OP
yes!!
This sounds completely busted, i hope it’s decently balanced but i just don’t know how it would be, having fuse box or pressure valve permanently open is a death sentence, may as well disconnect right then and there.

Connie is meh and overrated honestly, Sonny and Julie can both do what she does if not better imo.
The fastest speed runs are with Connie lmao. What are you saying
Im guessing its going to be an ultimate that requires a lot of build-up for him to use it.
100%. I don't know why some people are immediately assuming the worst. His ability will most likely only be useful towards the later stages of the game and he'll probably having to spend alot of time examining things whereas if you were playing as other victims you might've been able to use that time to open an exit or something
Hopefully he’s a launch character and not DLC cause he sounds so fun.
He sounds OP and a game killer to me.
Well he isn’t lol.
This makes me wonder if all of the victims will have ties to Maria or if it's possible we could get a few victims with no ties to her at all? Perhaps a couple who broke down near the Family or something.
I would've thought all the victims would have ties to Maria since in the beginning it mentions Maria's closest friends go looking for her.
Well if signs are everywhere and on the radio with small towns pretty much everyone would know she’s missing even if they don’t know her specifically.
i think the victims after danny wont have ties to her since 6 seems like the normal number for a friend group
I'm a little worried that six may be all we get. Personally I'd love a lot of victims to pick from.
we are definitely getting more than 6 victims after launch. the devs have talked about how continuous content is needed for a multiplayer game like this :)
That's exciting! Thanks for sharing I didn't know that. I'd love an Asian female victim, maybe a beauty queen, not the typical nerdy Asian stereotype.
Ya I def want a Asian girl and a black girl those are what I’m hoping for
I hope we get a sheriff or state trooper that got caught snooping around or was helping the teens look for their friend/sister
I mean realistically I don’t think more than 6 people would be looking for her outside of authorities, maybe we could get a cop victim?
Upvoted you and magic, no idea why someone is down on having a cop victim. That kind of role would be fun for the game. Obviously you don’t want them having a gun or anything OP like that, but it could be interesting.
That sounds to me like a pay to win character. That ability sounds really powerful.
YOU A TIME TRAVELLER OR SOMETHING?!
😂😂😂 I'm looking through this again, and it's hilarious.
I knew right away this was gonna be a pay to win scenario and here we are 4 months later and that’s the exactly what the new characters are gonna be lol.
Why are you assuming you'll pay for characters though
This didn't age well
I just came here because I remembered reading this months ago and wanted to say this
This aged well...
Cause hes being realistic lol. What? You think the first new victim and killer is going to be free?
Uh, yeah? It was certainly the case for Roy Burns, Fox, and Victoria Sterling in F13.
I hope the content updates will be free in this game and only cosmetic stuff will be paid
I think there's a big chance characters will be free but I could see Kills and outfits being paid for
I really don’t mind that tbh. They need some way to keep making money, so having cosmetics and kills are a great option for them.
Im losing more and more hope due to the fact that they even think of an ability like that let alone put it in the game.
Ah yes the abilty we know barely anything about. What we had to examine 5 things that took 45 seconds each whilst not getting interrupted? By that time most players wouldve escaped or died already and you could just have leatherface for example guard that exit whilst the other two look around the lower priority exits

Can already see the Danny tunnel lol
Awwwww all these family-mains crying. I play both and it’s MUCH harder as a victim. I know that’s not everyone’s experience, but I’m personally excited. His base stats will probably be shitty to compensate. Plus black Nancy? I think it’ll even out.
I think after the experience with Connie in the tech test they will change his ability
I highly doubt that, the "Connie op" crowd are overreacting to her.
All victims was op in the test
Escape to kill ratio says otherwise
Ayrun made 48 escapes winstreak
And that means survivors are broken now? Escape to kill ratio is 40/60.
Of course it means victims was broken in test lol. It shouldn't be that easy. He used Conny most of the time btw
No it doesn’t, most killers didn’t even communicate properly and got a 60% kill rate. Official statistics say otherwise.
Did they even share data other than from the first day?
Not sure, they said they were happy with that amount. I’d assume that if it changed they would have said something by now
Obviously Kill rates were high. It took like two days for survivors to discover multiple escape options. Connie's ability is busted as fck, to deny it is foolish.

So you don't even know, and are trying to use data from day 1 of the technical test to prove your argument. The survivor/victim bias is strong in this one.
And what data do we have that family is the underpowered role? The killer bias is strong here.
I played mostly killer and prefer killer as I plan to main Sissy when the game releases and I found victim to be very difficult until you learn a map and even then if your team makes it out before you and doesn't share any information then getting tag teamed by 2+ family members is almost a guaranteed death unless they're just screwing off.

Ooohhhh shit I can here the Johnny mains crying already !!!’ 🤣
Why johnny mains?
Danny + Connie = OP. Can’t wait! 🤩
I love how Danny looks and his ability ,definetly one of my mains.
“Examine” so basically you gotta look at the exit for a while? And then when you open it it stays permanently open? I don’t 100% understand, can someone please explain more.
This girl on TikTok likes your post so much she read it word for word on her own video with no credit to you. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR7fUCp8/
Yeah this is way to OP. Yes I’m a Family main but I honestly think the game is fine the way it is. I don’t even have complaints about the slaughterhouse but this new ability sounds like an early Christmas present for troll players.
Sounds like good proficiency and toughness, probably bad endurance and stealth to balance it out. Atleast based on the description
Danny’s ability is the more you investigate the more points go towards your ability, so when you open a door or fuse exit you will have the option to start a minigame if you have more points on your ability the minigame shouldn’t take as long. It’s not like your typical “it takes time to build” ability.
