Overworking the Objectives

I personally think it would be best to just start from ground up instead putting out more DLC and band-aid fixes on everything. Over half of the perks in the game exist because people complained about issues (Bamboozle to counter loops etc) and that is ridiculous to me.


I played Last Year when it had a free weekend and found a fresh breath of air with the objectives. Let's be completely honest- Holding M1 on gens and looping the killer around | Hooking survivors 3 times (Moriing them) is not really.. engaging.


There would be tons of ways to overwork the objectives and make them more fun so not every game feels like it's the same. I also had the idea to have like slightly altered objectives for different maps- fitting to their theme.

This is most likely just wishful thinking. But it would really revive the game i think. What are your thoughts? What objectives would you like to do/see instead of holding that good ole M1?

    I can agree that the "M1 Simulator" memes can get stale after awhile, but the real enjoyment you get out of Survivor is the chases, the same goes for the Killer since... that's their main focus for catching Survivors.

    Rebuilding the game from the ground up, reseting everything, and erasing all this progress would be an utter waste of time and resources. If you mean by just focusing on the games health before making more DLC, than I wouldn't mind that either. But here's the thing, they're already doing this behind the scenes for the Rank Rework, which would benefit the health of the game once it's fully implemented, as for the new content, this is so the game can continue to be fresh and innovative while BHVR works on fixing the game behind the scenes.

    As for concepts for how to rework the objectives, this is an ongoing debate that a lot of Survivors and/or Killers have talked about in the past, from collecting gas as a 2nd objective to finding parts for the Generators as a 2nd objective. At the end of the day though, the game would need a big overhaul to keep some semblance of balance if this was changed, the meta would evolve yes, but the balance itself would need to be adjusted so one side isn't dominating over the other.
