[Request] Please Rework this old Rift Challenge
Hi, my name is Desola,
I'm just a regular player, no streamer, no content creator and neither do i consider myself a main of either side. I dont run survivor to bully killers or face camp and tunnel on killer (unless they really ask for it with excessive flashlight clicking). I wanted to make this post as an open letter to the Devs
The actual point of this post: i've recently been just trying to work trough the tomes 1 by 1 and found one rift challenge that really is in dire need of an update due to changes.
Tome 2, Page 3 (cant remember the name right now) "Use a key to open the hatch twice"
This challenge is a relic of the past when the hatch would spawn in closed after a number of generators were fixed, allowing for a 4-Man escape without ever opening the gates. The problem is that with the key/Hatvh rework a little while ago the hatch never spawns in closed anymore, meaning its required to be shut when you're the last survivor standing. There is 2 ways to have that happen
A) your squad powers the gates and your mates open them and run out. The Problem: most killers at that stage either guard the gate or give up, not close the hatch.
When will killers usually close hatch? When 3 survs have died before the gates could be powered. Which leads to the most effective strategy for this challenge being to essentially throw the game as survivor, avoid the killer for the entirety of the game till your whole team is dead, wait for hatch to be closed and go look for it to unlock it while the killer patrols the gates to find you.
Its fairly clear in my eyes that this is a problem since many people will try to play the most efficient way to finish whichever challenge which in this case leads to miserable experiences for multiple players in the same match on at leadt 2 occasions.
My proposal to fix this?
Plainly, just replace the challenge with another like escaping through hatch or the sort. Any attempt to fix this without changing the challenge would require a new hatch rework (like: hatch spawns in closed when the engame triggers and only actually opens when only one survivor is left) or something like a perk that lets you open the hatch without key.
I know there is more pressing issues like cheaters but i think a small fix like that would be nice

bring a hatch offering and sandbag your team out of the game.
just kidding, yes this one needs a rework but is still doable. just tell your team they should not wait in the gate and just leave because you need to leave last.

Doable, yes but not in the way you propose generally. When the gates are opened most killers wont bother to close the hatch anymore, instead going to patrol the gate or chasing tge rest out.

It took me months to get that challenge done since I would play normally. It is possible to do without sandbagging your team but it's difficulty level is insanely off the charts in comparison to the other challenges. It could definitely use a rework.

At least its actually *possible* to complete unlike quick thinking and self preservation challenges or are not overly difficult like the challenge where you jave to get iridescent malicious 3 times (i cant do this even with legion, ended up with 100 points in survivors being hit but -90 for survivors being healed..)

>just tell your team
Which gesture should I use?

Also if you try to do it beware some killers might camp the hatch for hours so hope the killer has better things to do. Some just want the 4K desberately.

Yeah, had one of these when i did the challenge. Ghostface camping the closed hatch.
Hell, even if that challenge is harder, it doesnt force you to pretty much throw the game for your teammates to get it somewhat reliably. And again, that challenge itself is just massively out of time based on its requirement only really making sense in the old hatch design era

How long did he camp it? I would personally never do it as it just wastes both survivor and killer time and the time I do that I could 4K multiple games and earn lot of bp so is it's even good tactic like killer mains says... Same is when survivors hide they are going to be found eventually but they just waste everyones time.

No I don't mean impossible as a hyperbole, I mean LITERALLY impossible
As it doesn't complete even if u do what it asks perfectly

Idk man, I've had some good escapes by just hiding all match (because I don't want to take risk of Survivors tbagging so I can progress hatch challenge)
0 -
I can understand hiding yeah for that challenge but sometimes there is 2 survivors hiding in the end long time and the game does not go anywhere so that just wastes time. When I did that hatch challenge I had huntress standing on the hatch 30 minutes not closing it but standing in the spot where you can't jump in. Good tactic to get one kill maybe but absolutly not worth it if you have life and in that time she could played 2 games and get 4K:s so just not smart.

In that case I would have just started working on guns
If she didn't move by the time a Gen pops then just keep doing them 1 by 1 until the gates are powered
If she still hadn't moved and the gates are opened then she is either afk or not moving out of spite

The thing is... i literally did that challenge yesterday as plague and spirit
0 -
She was playing the whole time but I was trying the hatch challenge so I didn't go to do gens but I probably should. But I just gave up as I think it was enough time wasted already.

Oh, i dont mean the maliciius emblem, im talking abt the survivor challenges quick thinking and self preservation
