Simple Key Fix.

Straight to the point:


"Hatch spawns only when all generators are complete or there is only one survivor remaining in the trail".


Can still 4 man escape for the "Where did they go?" achievement, Keys still allow you to open a closed hatch to give you a second chance at escaping in the end game. And the aura reading addons etc for keys mean they remain a powerful item regardless of their interactions with Hatch.


This solves all of the problem's killer's have with keys, and also the problem good survivors have with a solo team mate keying out at 1 gen left and screwing over the remaining two players while also being about as simple to implement as changing mori's from a "needs 1 hook" to "needs 2".

    This.

    Or channeling time to unlocking hatch, so you can't just yeet out in killers face. Or both.

    This please.

    Keys are more or less fine provided survivors don't just get to bypass all the remaining objectives.

    There's nothing a killer can do about a key if they're still defending gens, and that's when they really, really suck.
