A change to achieving adept killer

So after playing this game for over a year. Reaching rank 1 on both survivor and killer I’ve come to ask if there’s any way to change the way to earn adept killer in dbd?

Currently the only way to achieve adept on any survivor or killer is by completing a match with only their respective teachable perks. This is extremely easy on survivor as it’s a team effort, and that the only requirement to achieve adept survivor is to escape the trial.

However on killer it’s much more difficult. You have to earn a merciless victory with only your three unique perks, this sounds simple enough but nowadays this is highly difficult to accomplish. The meta has evolved to finishing gens in record time and survivors having many tools and perks to at their disposal to escape. Most killers without any perks that slow gen progression get gen rushed and to earn merciless you have to prevent them from being completed.

The other aspect is the chaser emblem. If survivors don’t heal you get less points from that category. The main argument I’m trying to make is that the requirement to earn adept killer is significantly harder than survivor. Almost night and day. I have an idea on how to change it.

I feel the best way to make this easier for killer is the earn a certain amount of blood points in the trial instead of the merciless. I would cap it to 30,000. Since a perfect game for a killer is 32,000, this would be a fair point to reach. This way the killer is encouraged to do what is base line to want the most points, finding and chasing survivors, hooking them, popping generators, applying pressure and so forth. This also prevents camping and tunneling as they are not granted more blood points by doing so.

Thoughts? I’d like to hear feedback on this. Thanks for taking the time to read.

    No. Some killers just don't earn enough for that. Just make it a 3k or higher to get it.

    until they change the pip system... nothing will change.


    merciless was always the condition, but merciless used to be just killing everyone. and since it's very hard to change achievements on consoles unless they are actually impossible, this condition will stay.


    meaning we would need to change what a merciless killer means, and that won't change unless the pip system itself changes.

    Istadown powers can not be used on healthy survivors or it will negate the chaser emblem because they are counted as one health state being removed instead of two
