Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Fog vial nerfs

Hey all, just got a chance to test out new fog vials, and i fear you guys may have nerfed them a little too hard. I think i speak for the majority of people when i say the default fog vials weren't very problematic by themselves, and only really became troublesome when the iri addon was brought. I have been wanting new items in the game for a loooong time, and seeing the new maps, keys, and fog vials was a huge draw to the update for me. I think with the nerfs, the fog vials have become nearly useless, specifically relating to their opacity. Personally, i think this change should be reverted. I think the two largest problems with the fog vials are the aforementioned iri addon, which has now been nerfed, and the amount of uses they have. I think the vials are unique even without the infinite uses, so I think putting them on a charge system with a cooldown would be fitting. I really hope the fog vials wont stay like this, because I have been really enjoying them so far. Thanks for reading <3

    I had also come back to DBD after the items overhaul, it was exciting to say the least and they're rlly fun now. I've gone against a few fog vials this afternoon and I can clearly see through them, they genuinely serve no purpose now. They should indeed revert it back, and they could make them charges based pretty much like current map and key items (keeping their current cooldowns)

    Personally I never had a problem with them being infinite uses with a lengthy cooldown

    Personally, they added another item to be put on the shelf. They made it about as useless as keys and maps at this point. I was loving running it, and then they nerfed it. Now it will sit on the shelf like the rest of my dogwater items.

    The iri add on should be reworked though. 5 % opacity with two downsides as iri is quality of Red head pinky fingers. I see that people hate fog vials because they are new and affect game in a way they are not used to. But to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they end unused after some time, then recieve buff because they are not used and then receive another nerf,

    They haven't truly addressed the problem that they were spammable which will be reworked soon. No one complained about opacity but about frequency of uses.

    Funny, they made changes to keys and maps to be more useful, but they took the fun part from those items and then launched a new item to just nerf it a week later.

    Back to medkits, flashlights and toolboxes as always 🤷‍♂️
