We are investigating an issue in the game that causes strobing/flashing lights, and are focused on fixing it as soon as possible. Some players may be impacted by this issue and experience discomfort from it, so we recommend taking proper precautions.

And until we fix this issue, we recommend that players with photosensitivity, or who have an epileptic condition or have had seizures of any kind consult their physician before playing.

As survivor, do you normally bring items into the trial, or do you find them in the trial?

I'm curious as to how everyone approaches items in this game.

    I almost never bring my own items into the trial. The only time I do is when I have a challenge to deplete a certain item or get blinds or something.

    If I have to spend bloodpoints on them I’m gonna bring them. If it’s something I won’t use - like a flashlight - I’ll offer it to teammate.

    I'll sometimes bring flashlights for the funsies but other than that unless it's for a challenge I basically never bring medkits or toolboxes. Why? Because the the game is already ridiculously unbalanced enough without them. If I actually needed them to win then either me or my team is playing very badly and we don't deserve to win anyway.

    The difference between throwing something like 4 medkits into the game and having none is like night and day. It isn't a 10% better chance of winning, it's like an advantage of telling you to do 2 extra gens. I'm obviously being a bit hyperbolic here, but it's to get the point across of how significant of a sway items have over a match.

    Also, while flashlights can add fun, medkits and toolboxes do not, they're literally just there to increase your chance of winning.

    I'll usually bring items in, though theres not really a plan and they're there as a "Just in case this proves to be useful" kinda thing. Not beyond looking for better items in a trial though

    I rarely bring items, so I'm more on the "i look for items" fence. I usually bring in a chest build for guns.

    Depends if I run my meme chest build tbh.

    Mostly I bring my own items (browns and yellows only because I am a rare item gremlin and must hoard) but I've had a lot of fun with chest builds too, so sometimes I'll just look through chests.

    Sometimes if my medkit runs out and a chest is nearby, I'll also try it out.

    I bring items every game, 100% of the time, to counter this guy's attempts to throw.

    I'll usually slap on something simple like a yellow flashlight with a brown battery or a brown medkit.

    Why? I'm a hoarder, simple as. Flashlights are just fun to have just in case and brown medkits I actually have enough of to not feel like I'm hurting my hoarding instincts too hard by bringing one.

    I'm a hoarder. I try to look for chests once the gates are powered to add to my collection.
