"Survivors Losing Add-ons" Change Reverted...Partially

So i either hear nothing or bad stuff about this change.

Personally i don't care if the change happened or not, but i did get an idea for this.

It's not an original idea though, but it could work nonetheless.

It's inspired by PAYDAY 2.


In PAYDAY 2, to simplify, you commit bank heists.

If you successfully do so, the game presents you with 3 playing cards.

You get to choose 1 to flip over, and whatever's on the other side is what you get as a reward.


Could we do that in here?

Here's how i see it...


After successfully escaping, you normally are send to the scoreboard screen.

You still are, but now the screen darkens a lot more and you're presented with 2 squares (that's the Item & Add-on shape in your equipment menu), both having the Entity symbol on them.

You can click one and, for example, if you pick the left one, the Entity is scared off by some holy light or something, and it reveals which Add-on you get back.


If you escape with only 1 Add-on, i honestly don't know what would take priority: Either the devs' change gets priority and it'd be consumed, or this change gets priority, ensuring you always keep your Add-on if you only bring 1.

    What I want it to make it so that if you use 25% or more of your charges, you lose your better add on, and if you use 75% or more of your charges you lose both.

    I would much rather have:

    If a survivor escapes with an item and add-ons in the dying state: 10% chance to keep item, 50% chance to keep each add-on.

    If a survivor escapes in the injured state: 100% chance to keep item and 75% chance to keep each add-on.

    If a survivor escapes uninjured: 100% chance to keep item and add-ons.

    Being in a chase at the time of escape reduces the chances to keep the item and add-ons by 50%.

    I personally don't get the reason why it's so bad to lose your addons. Some items are good enough on their own without addons and you don't lose the item if you escape. You also don't need items in the first place. If you really want that addon, then you have to spent some bloddpoints for that character, same you have to do when you want a certain addon on a certain killer.

    I know survivors doesn't earn that much BP as the killer usually does, but you are always free to play killer if you want the BP so badly.

    There are enough survivors out there flaming their treammates when they bring self care but they always bring their medkits with gel dressings, etc., so they have many heals with actually ridiculous healing speed. So ... No thank you, if you want your addons so badly then pay for it, play ace in the hole, start using perks for your healing like others do or actually play without any self healing possibility.

    I don't want to face a strong killer with strong addons all the time as well as i don't want to face survivors that can almost immediately heal themselves back up when i hit them, so it's more than fair that you lose the addons (which you could still prevent by plyaing ace in the hole).
