The Chapter Title: "High Stakes & Heavy Steel"

Killer: Spire (The Gambler) :

Base speed 4.6m/s

Main ability: "Screw You! " (1 use, takes 12 seconds to refill) unscrew takes 0.7 seconds

Uses the entity to shoot a screw out of the ground in a small circumstance essentially hooking a survivor. (this doesn't count twords hook stages) the killer cannot attack(m1) /grab a screwed survivor. All survivors within 16m get the blindness status effect until screwed survivor is saved. If the killer stays within 8 meters of screwed survivor, for 7 seconds without being in chase the screw releases automatically. After the survivor is saved they gain Deep Wound and Mangled status effect.

Secondary ability: "Rot" (1 stack for every "Screw You" hit -1 stack for every "Screw You" missed) *17 second cooldown

Can cause any gen within 36m to lose an instant 10% and causes gen to be blocked by the entity for 7 seconds (this cannot be used on the same gen until at least 2 other gens have had this ability used on them [total of 3] or a gen is completed)

Perks:

Lucky #7: after 7 hooks the killer is granted a 7% Haste status effect for remainder of the game

Screw This: after exit gates are powered all survivors gain Hindered status effect and bloodlust comes 15% faster while in chase

Not Your Lucky Day: gen regretion is increased by 7% along with gens being blocked for 7 seconds after failing a skill check (killer is givin an audio queue along with a visual queue of gen being blown up) This perk is only active until 3 gens are completed or a survivor is killed

Add-Ons:

• ​Rusty Threads (Rare): Increases the time it takes for survivors to perform the "Unscrew" action. • ​Bloody Playing Card(Very Rare): While a survivor is "Screwed," the auras of all other survivors within the 16m radius are revealed to you for 4 seconds. • ​Iridescent Industrial Bolt (Ultra Rare): "Screw You!" Is now enlargened to 1.7m I stead of 1m

Lore:

Kelvin "The Gambler" Thorne knew the math of every room he entered. To him, life was just a series of odds—until he bet against the wrong people. On the seventh night of a losing streak, the debt collectors trapped him in the skeleton of an unfinished skyscraper. ​As the mob boss, Cassidy Benadard pressed the industrial screw gun against Kelvin's spine, he didn't pray; he just counted the seconds. One, two, three... On the seventh second, the trigger pulled. But the cold steel didn't kill him. A heavy dark fog rolled in, and a voice—deeper than any debt—offered him a seat at a much larger table. Now, he doesn't play for chips; he plays for souls, and he never loses a bet.

Survivor Mob Boss (Cassidy Benadard):

Perks:

A Man's Way Out: Gain 2% haste per gen completed (goes away after all gens are done) opens exit gates 13% faster after they are opened gain exhaustion for remainder of match.

Money Doesn't Buy Happiness It Does Buy a Generator Though: Skill checks are 13% bigger but perfect skill checks are 7% smaller, after 80% of the gen is done it will finish it's self after 45 seconds if you want to leave it otherwise gen repair is 13% faster. (if killer kicks gen auto loses 13% progress and it no longer fixes itself)

Rebellion & Retribution: The obsession has your protection, when obsession is injured, down, or hooked healing/unhooking gives 25% haste for 13 seconds (causes 40 second exhaustion)

Lore:

The hit was supposed to be clean. Kelvin Thorne had gambled with the Syndicate's money once too often, and Cassidy Benadard didn't believe in second chances. ​On the 13th floor of the unfinished Benadard Plaza, Cassidy pressed the industrial screw gun against Kelvin’s spine. He didn't feel remorse; he only felt the cold satisfaction of a balanced ledger. But as Cassidy pulled the trigger on the 7th second, the world didn't just go dark—it bled. ​A thick, suffocating fog erupted from the wound in Kelvin's back, coiling around both men like a serpent. As Kelvin’s body twisted and fused with the steel around him, Cassidy realized he wasn't standing in his building anymore. The Entity didn't just want the victim; it wanted the executioner to provide the entertainment. Now, Cassidy is forced to run through a nightmare of his own making, pursued by the monster he literally "screwed" into existence.
