Built to Last cannot be buffed

Hi! Hope everyone is doing fine.

Considering the next PTB, Built to Last will be changed to reduce it charge time by almost half (from 13s in a locker to 8s).

Considering the Franklin's nerf and specially how strong Toolboxes become when paired with built to last, having BTL buffed will be a nightmare for weaker killers, since one person alone can do 60s to 70s gens.

    I Run streetwise + build to last sometimes

    With best toolbox

    The first 3 gens go fast lol

    But i also go locker 4x which is what? 50sec+ Lost time on locker.

    So its not all rainbows. Its can help to save toolbox for final 3 gens. But at that pint wasting time on lockers is even worse

    It's not half, it's 12 to 8 and that's a third. Even calling 13 to 8 "nearly half" is a bit generous everything said and done. Nitpicking aside, I think given the streetwise change (no longer affecting the item you came in with) the overall max gen rush builds have been nerfed and this change is deserved. This change saves at most 12 seconds of hiding in lockers throughout the match but because of the streetwise nerf you're ultimately getting less bang for your buck with that time spent.

    A less dedicated gen rush build with a good tool box + built to last is better than before because of this change but ultimately I don't see it being much better if any better than bringing Prove thy self instead or just a 4th perk which provides more utility like anti-tunnel or healing. I do think if streetwise got changed and this didn't BTL would fall off the face of the earth, it's just not worth spending 12 seconds in a locker doing nothing and a perk slot to recharge a single item. At 8 seconds even using this to recharge maps, keys or flashlights to help with chases isn't a terrible idea now which gives it utility elsewhere.
