Nerf/Rework Repair Toolboxes

I strongly dislike the ability for toolboxes to repair gens so much faster and more importantly, reduce the opportunity for killer to even regress them. It results in not a very interactive experience because either way the match will end much faster, survivors will either escape quickly or the killer will decide to tunnel to gain the necessary pressure to combat them.

They currently feel like a nuclear option.

I also feel that killers don't have enough options to deal with them. Corrupt is a decent one, and there's also franklins but this doesn't suit m2 killers, and franklins has the classic counter of just dropping items where you need them. Overall you can't really stop the use of toolboxes. Gen regression perks are designed to regress gens of course but toolboxes are designed to finish gens quickly where you cant regress them anymore. Base gen regression without gen perks is also very poor but that's another debate.

In theory the counter is gen blocking perks but i haven't tried this myself yet.

Overall… i just don't like playing against toolboxes. When i see them in the lobby i know that it's likely not going to last long or be much fun.

    Been saying this. They need to seperate Sabo and Gen repair boxes and make them have Iri add ons and get rid of or drastically nerf the speed

    They just need to nerf Commodious toolboxes. Most of the toolboxes are better at either repair or sabotage but Commodious has good stats in both AND has the most charges. It's way stronger than any of the other toolboxes and it makes no sense. It also doesn't help that event rarity toolboxes are the equivalent of Commodious so any event where those are given out there are just strong toolboxes basically everywhere, unlike most other event items where the event rarity is the equivalent of a yellow item.

    The addons that add extra charges to toolboxes should also either be changed or increased in rarity, in most situations they are far superior to any of the other brown or yellow addons. Instructions (removes skillchecks) and Spring Clamp (reduces repair noise distance by 8 meters) are also just terrible addons and should be buffed or reworked.

    I don't think most of the other toolbox stuff is really that bad though.
