Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Suggestion to make the Sealed Envelope and Bound Envelope useful.

The two envelope offerings feel completely useless and more like pollution than having any sort of meaningful value as a bloodpoint modifier. You need 32k points per match to get full use out of it and the average survivor game does not even get half of that. Given the rarity of the two envelopes respectively they should be made more useful. In my opinion the envelope should increase point generation within the match rather than just be a simple multiplier after the match. This would distinguish it from other BP offerings and give it some actual use relative to its rarity. For example with out an envelop say you stun the killer. That action rewards 1000 points in boldness. With the envelope that action would reward 1250.

What do you guys think?

    I'd love to see them be more meaningful and the Bound Envelope I've always thought should benefit the killer as well similar to a BPS.

    So in other words, it's a good combo with other blood-point offerings?
    For example:
    Total bp's in Objective category = 3000
    With envelope it would be 6000 (if it'd multiply it)
    If someone else also has a Party streamer you'd have 12.000 bp's earned from the objective category?

    I'd say your idea is very healthy (and it might as well be a x2 multiplier on the green envelope).
    Works great for BP's in matches and counters farming.

    I wouldn't like that tbh, many times when me or someone else uses a BPS killer ended up camping for no reason. If they didn't do that i wouldn't mind but sucks to give extra bps to campers/hardtunnelers.

    How it would work is simply increase point generation while in game not multiple it post game. For example cleaning a totem in game rewards 600BP. By using my suggested envelope idea it would give you 750BP. A 150BP increase. Essentially making it easier to max out point categories.

    While I can see that it's no different than all the killers that cmap the moment they see a BPS offering or use on of theirs on the hopes the survivors do as well.

    The campers are going to camp regardless of whether there's an offering or not.

    They could really do with taking a look at the point oFFerings. BPS is Green and gives 100% to all 5 players whereas the Bound Envelope only gives 25% to the 4 Survivors and, for some dumb reason, is also Green.

    Yeah they can still get points from BPS but at least it's only 1 offering killers can take points from.
    If i get camped when using the green envelope at least i know killer won't get more bps thanks to me, that's what i meant.
    Personally, if i see killers using a BPS i'll try to give them a good match (no genrush and stuff), and if i see they did bad i'll try to farm with them at the end of the match. Maybe even let them kill me if i know i got enough points to pip.

    For the former agreed and for the latter I always try and give them extra bp unless they're going full tryhard aka camping/tunneling. If they do bad and I'v done well I'll give them the hook because I want them to get some points too.

    I'd like to see both killers and the survivors 25% work for all players in the match.
