The keys and hatch are now makes them absolutely dredful in the way off ever since the nerf i havent even seen anyone escape by hatch with a key so my proposal is a slight buff to the keys in which;

Iri keys: keep hatch sound when closed and also have an 8m sound range when open

Purple keys: keep hatch sound when closed

This would make them slightly more useable but would not make them broken as survivors would still have to be the last survivor alive to even be able to use it

    I think Keys should be buffed, but not with anything involving the Hatch. But the Aura Read or general effects they have should be improved. Especially since Keys are super expensive BP-wise. If you want to run a Skeleton Key with Add-Ons (which is the only Key which has a decend number of charges by default), you are looking at 15k BPs at least probably. Given the poor BP-gain for Survivors, this is too much.

    So either they should consider buffing Keys and their Add-On for non-hatch things or at least reduce the BP-cost.

    Keys also have other functions. Seeing your teammates from 48 meters is decent and seeing the killer through walls in a chase is very strong. These combined with the ability to open the hatch as the last survivors is good enough where a buff isn't needed. If we were to ever change them, it probably should be a full on rework.

    Also if what you want is help finding the hatch as the last person, try Left Behind.

    Nah. You have enough options for the hatch still.

    1. You can get there before the killer kicks it.
    2. You can bring a hatch offering to force it to spawn in a known location.
    3. You can stalk the killer if you really, really want to use the key.
    4. You can bring hatch aura perks if you're willing to replace one of your four second chances.

    That's more than enough for you to squeeze in at least one of these things.

    Yes but both of those add ons use up charges on the key especially the killer one, ive never actually seen anyone ever use any of that unless its the wedding ring. The key is atm the most useless yet most expensive survivor item atm

    If moris are 7,000 BPs worth of trash, it's only fair that keys are too

    Yes but atleast you still get use out of that 7k if survivors want use out of the key that have to basically add another 12k ontop of the 7k to make it viable

    They have to improve the duration of the purple and green keys, so it is possible to bring them as aura reading item. Currently only the pink is viable.

    Dear B.H.V.R., you can delete this item as it is now useless

    Do something useful with him and add some kind of buff

    I think they need buffed, but as @Aven_Fallen said, it shouldn't be anything involving the Hatch. I think they need more aura reading Add-ons to make them more worth using, as currently they don't have many of those Add-ons and are more for selfish people who wanna get a last man Hatch escape.

    More Add-ons, or perhaps even a basekit Aura reading for keys, would make them better, and make opening the Hatch a secondary thing they can do if needed.

    You shouldn't be playing the game around the Hatch in any form at all. It is a free pity win for the final Survivor after your team loses the game.
