What if keys...

I'll be honest, after playing the game on Ps4 and PC for 3/4 years (survivor and killer), I've never really payed too much attention on keys and the numerous different ways of using them.

Why are there 2 different keys when they both do the same thing?

Why would I be allowed or able to have the killers aura revealed to me if I take this addon with a 'KEY'?... doesn't make sense to me.

So.. what if keys were not available in the bloodweb anymore... also, what if there was no way to keep the key after usage, or if you died, making it that much more valuable. What if you couldn't use it to see the killers aura, or your own teammates for that matter... Instead, what if there was only 1 key.

The skeleton key.

Base use

Unlocks the ability to unlock black locks, consumed when used. X seconds of use. The location of the hatch's aura is revealed to you if you are within a 8 meter radius (not used). When used to channel it's energy, the aura of the hatch is increased by up to 20 meters for X% consumption rate outside of the base 8 meter radius.

With some add on ideas.

Can increase the hatch's aura by 12 meters ( 32 meters maximum)

Can be used to reveal the location of the hatch's aura to other survivors in the area. (the number of survivors in the radius increases the keys consumption rate by X % amount)

Adds 15 seconds of usage (X seconds maximum) of the key.

Grants a 7% haste status effect for 3 seconds (ignores exhaustion.)

(Not sure about this one but thought i'd throw it in, not an add on just an idea.) The base search rate of the skeleton key is 5%. If you are the remaining survivor and chests are still available to search in, the search rate of the key is increased by an additional 5% (Plunderers Instinct does NOT increase the percentage search rate.)

Anyway just some ideas :)

    Because I think they need to be better, like make the Hatch appear when no generators are done at all.. They are useless even with your buffs.

    what so like, all survivors are still alive, no gens done, you search a chest and find a key now the hatch spawns?

    I like how this is a huge buff to keys, yet people have actually requested they be buffed even harder. lol.

    How could you buff keys even more than they are right now? Granted, some of the ideas I mention here may feel like 'buffs' but I tried to compensate by the amount of survivors in the radius of the hatch's location while channelling the key reduces it's time you have with the key.

    I don't see a problem with that, if anything it would be doing me a favour. Getting out that bad match quicker :)
