I Dont Like How New Items Are Handled...

I love the idea of introducing new items since they lead to more variety in terms of gameplay for Survivor and counter-gameplay for Killer, but the way that new items have been handled is something I dont like.

First off, Firecrackers are event locked, and there is no normal equivalent to use, which just sucks since I love insta-blind items like Firecrackers and Flashbangs but they are insanely limited and make me feel as if it is more worth it to hold onto them than actually use them.

Second off, we've been getting Event Items we can use but they are basically null and void after the Event, and we are not given some sort of alternative item to use in the future. The Void Crystals in the current HBD event are awesome, and I think they are well design as an item with massive potential but once the event is over, poof, they are gone.

Likewise, if BHVR added new items, it wouldnt be hard to just add perks to go along side them, it saves BHVR the massive headache of having to come up with an original perk for a new Chapter and opens the door for a lot of potential.

Overall, Im just now happy with how new items or items in general are handled in DBD and I really hope BHVR opens the door for more fun additions to the Survivor's roster of items.

(Also in a similar boat can we PLEASE get the Blight Serum as a year-round item, it makes no sense how the Refined Serum can be used year-round but the Blight Serum cannot. It's been years.)
