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.

amongst other survs that got it pretty hidden as well... the fix would be having the key in the LEFT hand @Orion

it is important for the killer to know in order to equip perks (e.g., FD), addons or offerings, and since it is a feature of the game, it should be visible regardless the low resolution settings

    That's also on a much better angle than the killer gets in the lobby, their hand is hidden even more.

    Or allow killers to turn the survivors around to take a look at their hands/skins

    They have animations for when they're holding items.

    EDIT: By that, i mean most survivors either lose their idle animations or it gets changed.

    I play on low res and personally never had trouble spotting keys in the lobby.

    I think keys should have a bright glow of their respective rarity color while in the lobby(But not in game):

    Broken keys glow green.

    Dull keys glow purple

    Skeleton keys glow Red/Pink(Or fluctuate between both).

    This would fix both the visibility of keys along with the usability of broken keys as killers can now tell them apart from normal keys.

    The Survivor idle animations with a key are too similar to their base animations (minus a select few). Moving it to the left hand or allowing the Killer to rotate Survivor models would be a good idea. Steve and Ash with the Ashy Slashy puppet absolutely need animation fixes because it’s impossible to see the key in the lobby. They completely hide it. How am I supposed to prepare for it if I can’t even see it?

    if it is impossible to see the key regardless the resolution then it is a BUG, do you get it @MeltingPenguins ?

    How about that survivor holds keyring and key just dangles on it? It's bigger item than key and would help with visibility. Use medkit/toolbox carrying animation and it should be good.
