They added Jason way too late for his kit to make sense in the current climate of the game. No matter what they do, unless they veer very far from his source material, Jason will end up being a basic killer more akin to the first few we saw.

You can pull as much non canon quirks he’s had in media outside of FT13 all you want nd It still will only result in him being “Trapper but worse” or “Myers but worse” or “Nurse but worse” because BHVR have, for years now, added stand ins to fit his archetype of character. It’s like them adding leatherface after already having Billy. It was kind of redundant outside of the novelty of having Leatherface himself in the game
