Do the reagents still get use at all?
I've noticed not many run any of the fog offerings. Are they useful or just a byproduct of older times?
Edit:
Duly noted, thank you all for the responses. Do you believe we should just remove them in that case, to clear up bloodwebs?

Leave it in the past

Lol, whenever people bring up Reagants people are like "no no no" but then whenever someone brings up about how dbd isn't spooky enough they complain about lack of fog and darkness :P

Yeah, but I'm not one of them.

The reagents are worthless. Replace them with something worth using or get rid of them.

They should remove not only these but the other 50% of items, add-ons and offerings that are useless and a total waste of BP.

To be honest those offerings dont really affect my gameplay when i use them. However stealth character and those with dark cosmetics may benefit from these.

Honestly they should be removed to clear up and make bloodwebs easier to use and most importantly, less overwhelming.

Yes, they ensure I am guaranteed to waste at least some points on every bloodweb.

Only time I remember them being played was by a SWF that brought 4 purple ones... Unfortunately they didn't know that despite reagents 'stacking' one purple maxes out how much fog will spawn. And I was playing trapper. Wah wah waaah.

100% truth.
Take my upvote!

I've only see one person bring a Murky Reagent and that's it. And it did nothing. Reagents are useless and if the fog is never going to get fixed, just delete them.

They still do a fair amount on some maps. Eerie of crows gets a ton of mist, as does Ormond funnily enough. Maybe the new Haddo will be super misty with a purple.

Reagents are pointless. I went against a Survivor Team who burned 2 browns and a yellow, this should guarantee pretty thick Fog. There was barely anything at all, I have not seen any difference.
They are just clocking the Bloodweb at this point. The Fog was an interesting mechanic, when it was actually impactful. But nowadays Maps are so bright that even a little bit of Fog cannot change anything (or they are pitchblack like the Houses on the new Haddonfield, which will also not be impacted by Fog at all).

While I agree that they are mostly useless, I do remember a game against a swf with 4 claudette that brought these along a grim pantry addon and it was a really fun climatic trial. Honestly that was largely due to them just kinda wanting to goof around.
I think they were recording an trying to see what they could get away with in front of the killer and after a bit of adjusting it lead to some really fun situations like finding one of them pretending to be a rock xD.
They did get gens done, but weren't rushing so I didn't feel pressed to be super efficient and ended up getting 2 hooks on everyone and couldn't bring myself to sacrifice any of them in the end.

They don't get used because the fog now is less fog and more a rather awful looking smog.
Climate change is real in the Entity's Realm, all the gens are causing so much pollution it's starting to spread

Reagants are forbidden snacks
I like to think some survivors drink them
Also don't burn a purple reagant on eyrie of crows, you will regret it

They don't seem to actually change anything in 99% of the maps. If they aren't going to fix that, may as well remove them entirely

They're just junk. Like the other 50% of sheer junk that BHVR makes us wade through on the bloodweb. Even keys are near useless now and yet cost a ton of BPs.
List of junk we waste BPs on:
- Reagents
- Brown tool boxes
- Green maps
- Keys (matter of opinion- but they shouldn't cost so many BPs anymore imo)
- Key add ons (b/c no one uses keys much anymore)
- Hatch offerings (if no one uses keys, why bother?The Killer will know exactly where the hatch is, and even if you brought a key, Killer will just stand on top of the hatch)
- Brown Chalk pouches (even yellow ones- do they do anything?)
- Bloodied Blueprint
- Torn Blueprint
I think getting a survivor/killer to Prestige 3 should remove most of the crap brown offerings from ones blood web.

Amen. Just clutter. Something to waste blood points on. Even most blood point offerings are a waste as well.
Can't wait to see their solution on the grind in 2047. Thank God they're not applying any bandaid fixes like eliminating perk tiers. /s

That's because the fog became a weird black smoke...
