I’m VERY surprised there still isn’t a killer perk that regresses exit gate progress

Back when I first started playing in 2019 I thought this would be a perk concept that would come into the game at some point since the endgame meta seems to be 99’ing exit gates until everyone is ready to leave. Thought for sure by now it would be something that would exist 😅

    Ehh.. it’d be such a niche, waste of a perk slot. Just check for the perk and if they have it, either open it or leave somebody there to keep it 99’d. SWF would invalidate it and it would just make solo q open.

    They could add 2sec startup animation so 99 still requires 2sec to open, is all it need.

    Devs are very careful about the Endgame meta because one or two mistakes from the Survivors can invalidate 5 gens being done. Batteries Included not working endgame is proof of this.

    If gates could regress, in the case of the gens being completed with 3 or 4 Survivors alive and one on hook, one Survivor would have to keep the gates from regressing, meaning only 1 or 2 survivors could go for the save.

    It was reverted? That’s interesting. Maybe endgame builds might see more use with this perk

    Yes, the announced during the stream, that due to unhappy feedback, they were reverting the change.

    If the only thing the perk did was passively regress the gates it would be an awful perk no one would use.

    99'd gates can be annoying but they're not so strong that devoting a perk to help deal with them would be worth it. 99'd gates also cause survivor deaths every now and again too so they can actually help killers at times.

    BHVR has already said that they don't want to change 99'ing gates because it may cause Endgame Collapse to favour one side more than the other and that's not what they want.
