Gen and pallet breaks

Why is breaking a pallet a button press and a gen kick is a hold ?

    Would be interesing if pallet was like gens, imagine holding the break animation for half a second, and partially destroy the pallet.

    i think it's so that you can't fake it, pretend to kick a pallet, then cancel it and out position the survivor and if the survivor really wants to make sure they're breaking the pallet then they will be losing precious distance

    Mindgames with gens as cancelling the break allows you to instead chase that survivor who may be hiding to jump back on it or go after another you see. It just gives you choices.

    Pallets are different as a lot can lengthen a loop and allow more time to be wasted from it. If the same could be done for pallets in most cases it would be detrimental as you are just leaving the loop intact so they jusy get more uses out of it and most competent survivors will stay on the other side out of hit range to waste your time. So at Unsafe loops which are mindgamable this would give them more time to leave the loop area and at safe loops its not worth it.

    I dont think I've ever half kicked a gen extra mind games at pallets could be interesting though

    So you can repeatedly kick a gen for 5 minutes and confuse the hell out of the survivors
