This game DESPERATELY needs a survivor item overhaul. (+ a concept of how)
Survivor items feel like such an ancient and odd feature that could really use an update. The only time it gets updated is for balance changes, we haven’t had a single new item (event items don’t count) in YEARS.
Matches are just getting even more stale because items are such a boring mechanic. Newer players can barely even use it because they’re limited but the insane players can run the best items every match and it makes it feel like new players have a disadvantage.
The reason matches are getting more stale is because you’ll only get 3 of the follow item setups:
Med-Kit: With best charges add-ons and/or syringe.
Commodious/event Toolbox: with both charges add-ons.
Flashlight: with green battery and either another charges add-on or a bulb add-on.
nobody runs Keys, Maps or firecrackers.
Items are so uncustomisable because 90% of the add-ons are the same but with different numbers, WHY IS IT STILL LIKE THAT????????
I suggest the following for an overhaul to items:
•Items are now free and infinite for everyone (no longer in bloodweb). Come on, killers don’t need to get their power from the bloodweb.
•All items are now equal, but each different version of the same item has a different thing they’re better or worse at (and make the old brown items like killer troll add-ons that are just straight up worse but give more BP).
•GIANT ADD-ON PASS FOR EVERY ITEM SO EVERY ADD-ON IS UNIQUE (this would help build variety and make balancing much easier). Also, maybe add more add-ons? That would fun!
also, i think chests are an outdated mechanic if im gonna be honest, they’re only good for new players, meme builds or for your lucky med-kit. I think they should be turned into supply chests to replenish items, but only if the chest is designated to your item type (to keep a bit of that RNG).
Yes, quite a few perks would have to get changed for this, but it wouldn’t really be that difficult, i would write down potential perk reworks for this feature, but that would make this post unnecessarily longer.
Just please BHVR, do something with items, item variety is no more with how easy everything is to get now.
