Keys are getting ridiculous
In every second game I have survivors using them even when they didn't bring any. How do you counter that.
In before Franklin's.

You don't. It's like someone drawing Exodia on their first turn, it's just uncounterable.

Why is it so common?
2 -
Patrol gens. If they cant do 2 they never even see the hatch.
If it's still 3 or 4 survivors, they need 4/5 done.
If keys are an issue, run gen based perks (tinkerer, ruin,murmur, discordance) , and dont even give them the option.

Patrol the gens lol. Yeah it is so easy to do 4 man 5 gens all the time.

It shouldn't be, but maybe keys are more common than we thought.

You asked for a solution. It's one of your only options.
So either take advice when its given to you, and use It or dont, or dont ask for advice and learn to deal with it. But dont get snarky when I try to give you an actual solution to help, with 0 sass in my post.
I always say this. The game gives you perks to supplement your lacking areas. If keys are your issue, you have options.
Or maybe try franklins? 😆

How often is Plunderer's in your game? Because I've gotten a lot of keys since rank reset, farming items with PI and AitH. No joke, one match my chest pulls were: Skeleton key, skeleton key, dull key.
Don't get me wrong, I love that ultra rares can be found in chests and PI isn't just a dead perk slot, but it's a little crazy occasionally now.

After the winter event they upped the chance of getting higher rarity items, Usually if you have plunderer's you get a key or purple medkit/toolbox. Maybe that has something to do with it?
1 -
It’s not that deep. Just bring franklins.

Franklin s demise is the counter. I rarely find keys even when I bring plunderers and as killer survivors rarely find them.

Tunnel the one with a key maybe? Theres no foolproof solution :(

If keys get nerfed moris have to as well. They're both overpowered crutches.
3 -
I don't use moris anyway.

Keys are more common cuz after the event they bumped the rarity if items in chests like crazy, reverting the nerf to not get pink items anymore. That also made keys much more common. Especially with Plunder. But it's ok, it's fun for survivors, so don't expect a change anytime soon. :)
Also at "Lul use Franklin's." Oh yea, let me waste a perk slot in my already super limited pool of perks so I can stop you from using a key that you have to just hold M1 for 10s and get some luck to get. Totally fair.

It's kind of like how you can't stop killers from using high level addons
3 -
I played around 25 games today. No keys.
1 -
Lucky you.

You show me a killer walking into a trial, holding M1 against a locker for 10s, then whipping out an Ebony and destroying your team.
1 -
Because the devs thought it would be funny to have chests hand out keys like candy.

I for one welcome our new vending machine overlords.

Just feels common. Not that common at all. Most of the time it requires someone running Plunderer's. If they run the perk, so be it.

Call me old fashioned but a killer is supposed to KILL, moris are fine. Keys are a cop out.
That being said, I would be fine if moris became base game on the condition survivors can die on a 3rd hook.
1 -
Not to be that person but survivors are supposed to survive, it’s just an early match just like a mori.
5 -
I think there should be a counter for keys. Like a padlock that renders keys useless until all generators are done or something like that.

Survivors surviving is not a given. That’s part of the appeal of horror movies - you watch the killer rampage and you’re not sure if your favorite character or anyone at all will make it out...but you do know that the killer has and will kill.
Moris are fine but if you want to “nerf” them, the only acceptable “nerf” is making moris part of the base gameplay but you can only do so on a would be 3rd or final hook. That’s more than fair.
If you don’t want to deal with dying in a horror game that has Michael Myers and Freddy in it...you’re either extremely entitled or you don’t know or care about horror. Moris are fun for everyone! I love doing and getting moried. But hey, I might just be old fashioned where I think horror is supposed to mean something for the survivors.
1 -
Nice joke bro
2 -
Uh, I very highly doubt everyone will agree with you on the "Moris are fun for everyone" simply because you enjoy getting Mori'd. :P
Also, one thing to keep in mind: This is not a horror movie. It's a horror video game. A multiplayer one, at that. Game balance comes first.

You CANNOT win against a killer if survivors get the key, that's just a fact. You cannot patroll all gens unless you're billy/nurse, survivors have to be absolute potatoes to not be able to do 3+ gens.
2 -
I second the OP. The number of keys IN CHESTS is absurd lately. Changing it after last event was a bad move. Btw, same as @Tzeentchling9 , I recently had a game where a survivor told me he found three purple/pink keys in three chests. I don't mind it if there's a 1% chance to find one, but it happens way too often.
Or give me a chance to search chests as killer, and occasionally find an Ebony :D

Just play around it 4head
Seriously tho, not much you can do, there's no counterplay to it (Just like Legion hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm), Just put F in chat and move on i guess, it's as stupid as the hatch ngl and both are pretty annoying when you work your ass off to get nothing in return.

Keys are like Moris.

Items are not offerings. The killer can't find and use offerings mid-trial.
0 -
LOL this isn't a horror movie. If it was then 95% of matches would end with 1 survivor alive at most. That would be so much fun!
0 -
False. I've died with keys plenty of times and I've killed survivors with keys too.
0 -
If each round were full of jumpscares and lasted 10-ish minutes, I'd probably play survivor more than killer, but I know I'm in the minority.
0 -
wow, such anecdote much wow. I've 4k'd at rank1 with freddy with no perks. nerf killers i guess.
4 -
How is your anecdote any more accurate than mine? You're making the extreme claim that it's literally impossible to kill a survivor with keys based on what? A claim like yours would need actual dev statistics.
0 -
OK. Go play a different game.
0 -
I do play other games besides this one, but thank you for the advice.
0 -
You're very welcome.
0 -
Are you seriously trying to justify an offering which is also as uncounterable as a key and just ruins any semblance of chance survivors have?
Oh wait I forgot you main killer. Of course you want an easy no skill offering to stay in the game.
