Ok.

So, I thought of an option for the Edgar. It’s called Fast Reel.

'''Enabling Fast Reel will increase the Edgar’s tongue’s speed by 1.5x, and it will make the tongue pull the survivor 1.75x faster than normal. However, buying this upgrade will reduce the tongue’s range by half.'''

Half isn’t that much! An Edgar’s tongue can still reach halfway across a map easily (unless it’s Last Harvest). It was just meant to be a small reduction to prevent people from sniping and using Fast Reel, as that would be severely unbalanced.

A Fast Reel Edgar can be discerned by its head color. It is light green, just like some of the Edgars from the older R2D game. Or, it would have a reddish head (the actual hat name for this is Putrid Patrick).

I’m pretty sure that it’s balanced, but let me know what you think. A lot of people, when playing as Edgar, use it as a sniper-ish zombie or to separate survivors. I feel like this would increase the amount of people who use Edgar zombies as a separator and greatly benefit those who already enjoy that playstyle.

TLDR = read what’s in bold Would probably be really bad on void though. On maps like cafe country, it could help.
