    And punish the killer for having to break super safe pallets?


    Nah bud.

    The killer equivalent of this would be to allow a killer to just reset a completed gen with a long cooldown or once per match. Does that sound like something you would want?

    It's called Pop Goes the Weasel. If a Killer has a decent pace for hooks and really doesn't want a center generator to finish, there's nothing the Survivors can really do about that. Especially once all the pallets in the area get used up.

    They can essentially pick a zone of the map where it's impossible to finish and objective. If the generators are close enough, they can create the famous three-gen strat and basically stall out the game so long that even if the Survivors finish at least 1-2 people will die and usually it turns into a 4k

    Basically Survivors could make "safe-zones" with new pallets like Killers can make "dead zones" by breaking pallets and preventing objectives in the area from finishing.

    They don't plan making anything meta, as a survivor there are incredibly situational perks that you have to make em useful yourself.

    Take borrowed time for example, it's an anti-camping perk. Survivors that use it to it's full extent go for saves when the killer is around (like when they are done hooking) so that the perk can be activated and save their team a lot of time. Same with any means necessary, as a survivor if you keep dropping pallets and extent loops the killer will stop breaking them to catch up, and that's the time where the perk shines.

    If a Survivor keeps dropping pallets at the drop of a hat, a good Killer will keep chasing and breaking them to clear out the level. It's like that Survivor is handing out free candy.

    All their teammates will hate them by the middle of the round when literally every pallet is broken because a bad Survivor wasted everything

    Do killers get perk to rebuild totems?
