New achievements getting out of hand

With the new patch, there are two new achievements for survivors: "Escape five trials while you're broken" and "unhook survivors ten times while you're broken". In my 20 matches today I had seven No Mither players and this is just miserable for SoloQ. No Mither is one of the worst perks in the game because you become completly useless for your team since you have one health state in chase, you cannot go for unhooks, you cannot take hits, you have to play really careful, which often means - at least in SoloQ - hiding and do very little but if you get found, give up and go next. Of cause, there are other perks that makes you broken (e.g. Moment of Glory, both Invocations, and Deliverance) but many players will use No Mither because it "easier" with this perk than with the others and it is also a free basegame character.

This achievements is a huge mistake and will make SoloQ even more miserable than it already is. So please, change this achievements to something else like escape five times while you're injured.

    Changing the Achievements and Trophies is not an easy ask. Unless they become unattainable we're pretty much stuck with them once released.

    I know but then I wonder who at BHVR thought that these achievements are a good idea. I don't think this feedback will change the achievements but maybe the developers will think twice before they add (similar stupid) new ones to the game.

    It's still not as idiotic as Eye-Hand Coordination, an achievement which became nigh-impossible to get mere days after Vecna release.

    True. These achievements are stupid. I am surprise they didn't add an achievement against Houndmaster like stun the dog 20 times with a pallet

    No way am I using No Mither. I did an old tome challenge which was escape using No Mither and no other perk just before 2v8 came back. Was very lucky to get it first go as it seemed to be a baby killer but just felt like I was sabotaging the game from the start for my other teammates.

    I'll be using For the People with something like Resilience and Sprint Burst so that I'm not a complete liability for the whole match. Don't see much point in trying it with a perk that will probably help the first hooked decide to go next and waste everybodys time.

    Erm... just use clean break at gate, it's not hard...

    Unhooking broken is a bit harder but you could take numerous perks to achieve this. Deliverance, For the People, Moment of Glory, Clean Break and the Invocation Perks can all be used to achieve this.

    Though it's free any time you face Plague or Legion with pin. Woudl also have been doable with Skull Merchant too, but y'know, we railroaded her xD

    If people are taking No Mither, that's just doing it the hard way... can't blame an achievement when players are being silly 😅
