Skeleton Keys in Chests + KOBE luck

I'm not sure if this is actually a thing or if I'm just being oblivious, since I haven't seen anyone talking about this issue...

For the past 5-10 games I've had today, I've been finding way too many Skeleton Keys in chests, and so have my teammates. There's been at least one Skeleton Key per match. Neither of us had any perks that would help with finding good items from chests.

And then there's the KOBE. Again, me nor my teammates had any perks to make KOBE happen, yet 3/4 successfully unhooked ourselves in the last few matches I had.

Is it really all just a coincidence? 'Cause it doesn't seem like one to me. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm sorry if this topic has been already discussed, but I haven't found anything yet.

    Its bugged right now. A number of people are reporting it. I tested it myself for a few games and I had better loot drops than even plunderers instinct. Everything was green or purple

    Last year, with plunderers I was getting a pink key or map every 6 or 7 chests. Now its dropped off massively, so much that I switched it out for Lithe recently.

    Not sure about kobes but definitely chests are bugged.

    It always amazes me how the devs create a bug which is completely unrelated to anything they should be touching. The tricksters power and perks for both have no effect on chests 😂

    Kobes are not bugged. The usual stuff happens for me, whenever I want to suicide, I kobe (like, the game wants to give this Forever Freddy or Iri Head-Huntress another Hook I guess...), but when I want to kobe because nobody is getting me or I am the last one hooked, the game is "Nah". So normal for me.

    Regarding Chests, one day I got a lot of purple Items. But yesterday I only got trash again (except for green Keys, when it comes to rarity, but the item itself is trash).

    I haven't noticed any difference personally, some days I'm luckier or unluckier than others which is to be expected. You're gonna need to attempt kobe a lot and open a lot of chests to get remotely close to the intended result of a 4% success rate and whatever rarity distribution chests are "supposed" to give.

    I opened five chests today and got two ultra rare maps, two Alex toolboxes, and one brown toolbox.

    Was there a glitch or shadow buff that tended to increase the rarity of items appearing from the chests?

    I've been running Franklin's on a few killers and I can't tell you how many times a survivor picks something up out of a chest and then when I hit them it's a key over the past few days. It's insane.

    Funny because I just found a skeleton key and jumped off the hook in the same match.

    If the Entity wants you to live, I have no say in the matter - Lupin The 3rd. If you Kobe, you live. No ifs, ands, or buts.

    I've done a bit of Java and C# but I didn't get that many bugs. Obviously I'm doing it on a much smaller scale but I didn't think they'd have as many as they do.
