Is Devout bugged for The Executioner?

Greetings, everyone!

Today I want to bring up my biggest concern for the new Killer after playing as him all evening yesterday: the Devout emblem. Yesterday, I had a game where I had successfully sacrificed 3 Survivors:

  • 2 of them died from 2 cages and 1 Final Judgement,
  • 1 of them died on the 2nd cage.

It's important to notice that I haven't used hooks at all during that match! Only the cages and Final Judgement. At the game result screen, my Devout emblem was Silver, not anywhere near Gold. This raises an important question: is Devout emblem bugged for The Executioner? Some people say that the due to the cages being a completely different game mechanic, the game doesn't count them for the Devout emblem. But if that's true, my Devout emblem should have been completely empty, but it wasn't. Moreover, I remember the devs saying something about fixing the Devout emblem points for the cages in time for the Killer's release on the Live Servers.

So, does anyone know what's going on with The Executioner and that particular emblem? It feels like ranking up with him is going to be tremendously harder than with any other Killer because of that. After all, getting a Brutal Killer after sacrificing 3 Survivors, considering that 2 of them have been caged 3 times and 1 of them - 2 times... it just doesn't feel right! And that's on a GREEN Rank too! Didn't give me enough points to get at least Rutheless Killer.

    You given 20% for devout by kiling survivor by any means. 10% if you hooked every survivor atleast once. This should work for cages too. Another 10% if you managed to do 9 hooks/cages. For gold emblem you need 80%.

    Btw, emblem requirements don't tied to rank.

    You killed 3 survs. 8 hooks in total. Even if you managed to hook/cage everyone once, it's not enough for gold.

    As far as I am able to notice, the Color of Rank defines how many emblem points the player needs to rank up. I didn't really do the math, but it just felt different. I'm sure if I had a similar game with Freddy on Rank 10, I would have piped. But I see now what had me confused there. It's 60% for 3 Sacrifices, and the game doesn't care if those sacrifices were on the 3rd or 1st hook/cage. The only difference here is the amount of Blood Points in Sacrifice category, which does nothing for ranking up. I see...

    That raises a concern... because such progression terms for that particular emblem encourages camping. Killing everyone on the 1st hook (by sluggling all 4 of them, for example) would ensure the Gold quality of that emblem... I didn't know that. Now I can understand why the low rank Killers tend to camp so much.

    First, emblem requirements are same for all ranks. By that I mean, for example, that gold devout is same on 1 and 20 ranks. But progression for pip - different thing. For example, 2 pip on red ranks is 4 iri medals, but on purple ranks 3 iri and 1 gold is enough.

    Second, malicious and chaser emblems also exist. It would not be enough for pip, if you slug all four survs and kill them on 1st hook. Also, you not gonna get iri devout unless you hook 9 times.

    Last, low ranks camp because they are noobs, not for emblems, lmao.

    Because they are noobs and because the game makes it hard for the new players to understand how it's supposed to be played. And the fact Devout emblem requirements the way they are now doesn't help it. Anyways, I do thank you for clarifying it for me. I need to do better next time. Though doing better does require having certain Perks, which can take forever to get in a Blood Web, but that's a completely different matter.
