Can items and their add-ons get standardized?

Killer add-ons are getting standardized with only two left unbalanced Myers and Huntress

Killer power

1 power, 4 Browns, 5 Yellows, 5 Greens, 4 Purples, 2 Ultra-Rares.

But survivor items are all over the place

Flashlights

3 Variations. 4 Browns, 5 Yellows, 2 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Ultra-Rare

Keys

3 Variations, 1 Brown, 3 Yellows, 1 Green, 4 Purples

Maps

2 Variations, 1 Brown, 5 Yellows, 2 Greens, 1 Purple

Med-Kits

4 Variations 3 Browns, 5 Yellows, 3 Greens, 1 Purple, 1 Ultra-Rare

Toolboxes

6 Variations, 3 Browns, 5 Yellows, 2 Greens, 1 Ultra-Rare.

It just doesn't make sense if they don't get a proper redo while killer powers get one. So they should do the same with Items and their add-ons. A set number of variations and add-ons.

    items are a separate thing from killer powers so they don't have a standard and they don't really need one either.

    It makes sense to have certain addons standards across all killers because you will always bring/use their power and making an addon requirement also helps with creating new killers since they know what they are aiming for. Items are not like this at all.

    Yes keys should get iridescent addons, said no-one ever.

    NEW ADDONS:

    Iridescent Keyring: Allows the survivor carrying the key to find the hatch after 1 Generator has been completed. Consuming the Key attached to this addon retains key and said addon.

    Iridescent Pepper Spray Keychain: Activate the secondary action button to release a cone of "F*ck Off" in the killer's direction up to 60 meters. "Killer is blind for the remainder of the match. "
