Is the key rework still planned?
Haven't heard any news of it in a while (proba and no one really talks about it these days. Though it was planned to release last DBD year (June 2021-June 2022) and it never happened, so I'm just gonna assume it got shelved. I suppose it's fine considering keys aren't broken anymore, but it's strange that they'd just drop it silently, probably because it got straight-up forgotten.
If keys are fine at the moment, I suppose it's better to focus on more important stuff. What do you think?

If you consider fine to have the corpse of an item in your inventory which you can no longer use for its intended purpose and only works for 2 purple aura reading addon that gives some niche information, then keys are fine.
I wonder why BHVR didnt straight up remove the keys entirely.

Auras are mostly intended purpose though, ability to open hatches are only for red key.

Yeah I suppose that's true. I do hope they come back to the rework eventually.

The purpose of a key(purple and red) was to open the hatch and the aura reading was a bonus to have in the process of finding the hatch. The green key was the only that was full aura only, and it was the least used (and the one which trolled you when you were opening chest).
This is as if you had a car to use which you can also stuff things in its trunk for transport, but now the car has no engine to run and its stuck inmobile but you can still use the trunk

Don't forget the purple keys!!
But yeah, I agree that the main purpose of keys now are just getting aura reading on other survivors or killers. The problem I see is that green keys are kind of expensive to use if you want a limited time that you can see survivors at a limited distance. It has a lot of restrictions for an item that will cost you more than 10k bp to use.
They're kind of not worth it at the moment because of how expensive they are. It's definitely powerful information to have and I can understand the argument that there shouldn't be any rework to it, but the main reason I don't run keys is how expensive they are.

They don’t really need to be reworked imo. They could change some numbers and some of the addons, or even give keys some kind of basic aura reading functionality without addons, but I wouldn’t change much beyond that.
