Change this already

I’m so tired of playing survivor and finding a ton of pallets on a one foot wall where the killer can just walk around it in literally a second. It’s pointless and ridiculous. Those walls need to be bigger. Change this already

    Just run away from the pallet or just let the killer hit you and boost away to a hopefully better location. They'll just lunge swing and use the free hit through it anyways. If you're already injured then you might as well lay down.

    Drop the pallet early = you get hit.

    Actually timing it right = you get hit through the pallet anyways.

    Running around the long way = they'll hit you before you get back around to the pallet.


    They plan on making maps have more unsafe pallets like these and less safe ones. So you might as well get used to playing like they aren't helpful at all. Well they're useful to fuel spirit fury I guess lol.

    Rank 20's? Just got 4K on all purple rank survivors that made stupid mistake after stupid mistake. No wonder there are so many yelling about nerfs and changes to the game design.

    It’s kinda hard to tell because this was taken on a randoms stream while moving but I’m talking about pallets like these. Not truck pallets where one side is long and the other side isn’t anything. I’m talking about where both sides are barely anything. Pallets where the killer can literally walk around it in half the time of taking the stun or breaking the pallet. These pallets are on every map but some maps have ones like this in the middle of the map. I just hate hearing killers cry for nerfs when we have bad pallets like these^

    To use a four lane pallet as an example, you do not want to stay there and vault back and forth until they break it. They can lunge around and hit you very easily. You'll ideally want to stun it and continue running around the long way around. By doing this, you'll be able to get quite a few loops before bloodlust kicks in. The longer path will cost them enough time to make it a decent time waster if they decide not to break it.

    If you don't manage to stun them, you'll want to mindgame to get the into a position where they're behind the pallet and you're in front of it and they try to trick you into vaulting back. When they break LOS, run. By the time they realize, you'll have a decent amount of distance and should be able to make it to the next pallet.

    Not every pallet is meant to be super safe. There is a way to use them well, but it's not as simple as "wait for the killer to break it".

    Thank you! I appreciate your reply, but the trucks are perfect size. If only the smaller sized pallet walls could be that long! Lol

    The only "useless" pallet is the basement of the Temple of Purgation.

    Yes because having mostly safe pallets is so much more balanced. (Not to mention "god" pallets)

    Not extremely “safe” pallets but more reasonable pallets. Like the guy above said the pallet at the bottom of the temple is useless. Might as well not be there. Pallets like those should be a little more reasonable. If killers hitting through pallets weren’t a thing, I would be more for it

    The risk with a lot of unsafe pallets is that... They're unsafe. Most of the time you just stun the killer and year to the next pallet.

    Yeah but like in those pictures I commented, (The 4 lane pallet). The temple pallet. The pallets in the middle of the map on the circus map with the horse Are useless. Everybody is expecting the best thing to happen “oh just run away when he’s stunned”. But most of the time the killer backs up or stops when you’re about to throw the pallet down and he doesn’t get stunned. then they just take 2 steps to the side and you’re dead lmao. Just saying. You can’t expect a rank 1 killer to take the stun when they can just walk 2 steps to the side. But I get the “unsafe pallets” and everything. Just was saying that these are really pointless unless you get a stun and the killer doesn’t hit you through the pallet which rarely happens

    So then don't drop the pallet and when they respect it you get slightly further...


    ...and get downed in 3 seconds instead of 1

    See! The pallet earns you 2 seconds! How useful.

    please remove bloodlust once you fix maps

    the problem isn't that these pallets are unsafe and can be mindgamed, the problem is that they can be reliably bloodlusted

    once the problem loops get addressed (which hopefully will happen asap) this game will HUGELY benefit from bloodlust's removal because it is such a glaring problem

    Agreed, as crucial as bloodlust was it's a dated mechanic that too many people crutch on

    I haven't gotten to activate Bloodlust in ages with all the conditions that reset its timer and the same goes for most Killer players (just have a look at streams for example). I think you're making something into an issue that it isn't.

    hitbox making more victims! Muahuahau

  • Please BHVR add more things to the Chase part of the game than Pallet and Vaults.

    I suggest lockable/destroyable Doors.

    Considering killers downvote and flame every post till they get locked in steam discussions and down vote and talk poorly about every post survivors make on here thats not a salty survivor.

    There's a lot of unsafe pallets where one can't reasonably get a stun - thinking you can, or thinking that's the function of unsafe pallets, it's evidence that no matter how involved you are in the game you haven't been paying attention. People won't be desperate enough to aim for those structures unless the safer pallets have been used already, and by that time a stun with a pallet will still mean a down for the survivor.
