Apocalyptic Ingenuity is a terrible Perk, but can be salvaged!
Without a build specific for it, the Perk is pretty much unusable, like any other chest perk by default there aren't even enough chests to activate the perk more than once.
The perk takes way too much time to set up, it's not worth going around the map looking for chests, opening them, then again spending time looking for pallets worth resetting…
And for what reward? A pallet that can be easily wasted by your teammates, the pallet instantly breaks, if you don't pull of the stun it's a free hit.
Those pallets were great in the event because they were so easy to set up so wasting them wasn't an issue, you didn't even waste time doing so because it was an ability on cooldown that would take a single button press and went through walls.
What can be done to fix this perk?
It obviously needs a condition to activate for sure, but the current chest one just isn't it, but I have an idea with a few more buffs on top!
Apocalyptic Ingenuity
- The auras of broken Pallets are revealed to you. (removed range limit)
- While holding an item and standing next to the location of a broken Pallet, press and hold the Active Ability Button for 5/4/3 seconds to consume the item and build a Fragile Pallet. (no longer requires searching or rummaging 2 chests, reduced the time to build a pallet by 1 second to be the same as Any Means Necessary)
- Fragile Pallets instantly break when dropped.
Now the perk can be used for as long as you're holding the item, so you can bring one into the match to use the perk instantly, or you can still search or rummage chests for more items to use it more!
Also I'm not sure if this is the case but rebuilding should grant bloodpoints, so with this change you could technically say that you're recycling unwanted items for bloodpoints haha, what do you think?

But it still requires the use of a limited feature 🫤. If anything thats worse, cus your going to need to search chests to get a new item. Heres my suggestion:
- You see the aura of broken pallets (unchanged)
- The auras of pallet placeable spots are now shown
- You can now collect the broken wood in the form of perk tokens. Collecting them takes 2/1.5/1 seconds. You need 2 tokens to rebuild a pallet, though the tokens are not capped.
- When standing in a pallet available spot, perform a 5 second action to build a fragile pallet. Dropped fragile pallets do not drop broken wood.
notes: no longer requires the use of other perks/items to be used, rather the number of pallets you can recreate is based on the map's size and the resources thats determined to be balanced per map.

I hope if my teammates can also see this fragile pallet's aura as I see.

The fragile pallet with sparks and massive X on it is also not very good. I met this pallets as killer about 3 times and it was just like on event i stopped before pallet so they destroyed it without any stuns and down them. They can make it standard pallet for 2 searches/rummages. At this point I'd rather pick any means neccessary as you always use it once or twice perk game and restore good pallets that can be resued at least once, because once killer sees it, they will destroy all of them rather then let you reset them, which is also worth a perk.
