The Archives are great, but there are some improvements that can be made.

So I love the addition of the archives. The way you can earn more bloodpoints and rewards from the rift is a great addition, however, there are a few things that can be improved.

Firstly, I feel too restricted when I am completing the archives. Being able to only select one challenge at a time is kind of annoying because it forces you to play in a certain way UNTIL that part of the archives is done. Example: unhook 15 survivors safely. Not doable in one match, but that’s fine. However, it forces survivors to be overly altruistic with borrowed time, instant hook saves, etc. I suggest maybe being able to select 2 challenges at once so you aren’t so restricted to only doing one. Example: being able to select stunning the killer 15 times challenge AND depleting 6 medkits challenge, just so you aren’t so restricted to actively hunting down medkits and using them up or just being focused on getting the killer to chase you. The same thing can be applied to the killer challenges aswell.

Secondly, some of the challenges are way too hard or time consuming, as discussed earlier. A prime example of this can be found in tome 2, where you have to repair 3 generators fully using dark sense. This is incredibly difficult, especially in higher ranks, so most people resort to just de ranking to get the challenge done. I understand that some of the challenges in tome 3 are getting patched to make them easier, so at least we have that.

Aside from that, the archives are incredible. I commend the devs for adding something that’s quite unique to the game. Even if the battle pass is not unique, it’s still good to get some more rewards.


What do you think? Do you think the archives are perfect? Do you think they could use some improvement? Let’s discuss.

    I feel alot of people go into a match with the intent of farming challenges that DONT specify it has to be done in 1 match. You have about 2 weeks to get each tome done before the next one unlocks, so theres no rush to get it done in 2 days. If you only get 2 unhooks per match, thats fine...whatever. You dont have to go for EVERY unhook.

    As far as the dark sense one...I did that one abit late after hearing the horror stories of others on these forums. Maybe its just due to my stealthy nature and naturally being a gen jockey, but I got it done in my first game.
