Does Killer Adept need nerfing?

So the survivor adepts are all simple enough to complete at ANY rank, the killer ones however are stupidly hard once you’re ranked high given the fact it requires a merciless victory.

Can someone explain how you’re supposed to pull it off against red rank SWF’s or even solo queuing players when most killers don’t even have any gen slow down perks?

I think brutal killer or just a 4K with each killer rather than merciless would be sufficient.

    Vestige of a time where Merciless Victory meant 4K by any means, even if you barely black pipped. It does need a change but it's been adamant for a while now. It really makes getting adept on killers like Clown an absolute nightmare if you're in red ranks.

    Yeah, i got adept with all my killers basically cheating. I kill the first two survivors ASAP and farmed with the other two. But they have to be potatoes to work, so...

    I don’t want to use words like that, but yes that’s what I’m thinking along the lines of, either that or don’t play killer for 4 months until I lose my rank from the natural rank reset each month!

    I hear what you’re saying, I’ll be able to do clown because of pop and bamboozle plus good add ons, deathslinger and demogorgan however...

    The problem with making it 4k instead of merciless is you would just take an ebony mori, so it would be too easy. I agree though that merciless is also too difficult on some killers in red ranks when you compare it to what survivors have to do, which is simply survive the game.

    Good point, just a downgrade to brutal killer is good enough. All the survivor ones are as easy as hell, unlimited ways to do them. You could even play horrible and then find or get given the hatch!

    Yes it needs to be changed, but they aren't going to change it sadly.

    They could just make it a 4k with the 3 killer specific perks and no offerings for it to work.

    Then you are back to it being very difficult at red ranks.

    Back in yonder day to get killer Adepts you just had to level up and get your 3 perks, and then unlock them as teachables in the bloodweb.

    Just saying.

    The only way of making it easier is to change the definition of Merciless. They won't change the requirement itself i.e. getting a Merciless in order to get Adept, due to constraints on consoles (specifically, because of Sony) which are resistant to allow thropy changes unless they become technically impossible to achieve.

    Notice, though, that funnily enough Adept requires a Merciless Victory, which is indeed not a thing anymore. We can only get Merciless Killer, currently. So, in theory we already would have a technically impossible achievement, if it was coded according to the wording.

    Killers adept stay the same. Survivor adept will be escape with x survivor on x map, only with his perks.

    Yes, Killer adept Achievements are unfairly complicated. BHVR KNOWS THIS.

    But BHVR knows it will require a lot of work with providers of Achievement Systems, Sony, Steam, Windows.

    So they hesitate to improve the game here, They absolutely should do it, but its hard.

    We need to push a lot harder on this to make them do it for the good of the game.

    They changed it before so I don't understand why they can't just change it back. I got adept Freddy with 4 DCs and a Brutal Killer victory back in the day.

    Most of the adepts I have were achieved at red ranks. Some more difficult than others...but all very achievable. Here’s some tips to help.

    1. Goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: map awareness! Know where to be, what gens to protect, which chases to commit/ignore. Super vital as many killers won’t be able to use perks to carry them.
    2. Bring add-ons/offerings. Self-explanatory. Examples would be a bell for the Wraith or a Hawkins map for Pig, etc. Bring the add-ons that best strengthen the killers’ powers but also works with your playstyle.
    3. Dodge lobbies. Don’t be afraid to know when to fold. If you’re going for Adept Hag, ya might wanna dodge a lobby with 3 flashlights unless you’re Legendary God status at M1 killers that have no power moving at 100% speed instead of 115%.
    4. Aim for lots of hits. If survivors are bodyblocking giving a free hit...take it! Never say no to free momentum. You also need to aim for 8 hooks in the match.
    5. Lastly, don’t be afraid to play “dirty”. Sometimes slugging or tunneling will be necessary. Removing a survivor from the match making it a 3v1 greatly influences your chances of winning.

    I told in another post. Survs have easy adepts, pips,.. only because they die a lot, so devs need to give them something so they don't think about that. Do you prefer as killer to pip easily and have 1,5 kills on average? This is what survs have.

    Yesterday late late night i got the adept Myers and Evil Incarnate after 9-10 games in total. Rank 5.

    I was so happy. I went to the bathroom after, and my eyes were red 😂

    Because its hard to do cause you need to involve all those parties again.

    It should just be 4k independent of emblems if you ask me. Make it require 4 sacrifices (with DCs counting) if they absolutely want to avoid people using moris to make it "too easy".

    But unless they change the entire end game result (brutal killer, merciless killer and all of that) to be independent of pips and emblems it's probably not gonna happen. As the screenshot above talks about, changing achievements that aren't completely broken and impossible to achieve is a mess especially on consoles.
