How often do you bring Items?

Do be honest, i almost never bring them and already got tons of all kinds of items now split over all my P3 Mains. (Feng, Yui and Cheryl)


I always use offerings tho.

    Never, the items i use are the ones i find in the match. I got a hoarding problem, i know.

    Edit: except that time before the syringe nerf, i used them all

    As killer it doesn't cost me to bring my power. If I'm playing survivor I'm not going to risk losing my item. Maybe I'm just cheap but I'll take my chances with a chest instead...

    Two of my mains are the same as yours! (Yui and Cheryl.) Still working on Feng's P3 tho, and Kate as well.

    I bring items only when I have a challenge. Like, for the current tome, we have to use med-kits. So, I bring one brown med-kit without addon.

    I don't bring items because I have a kind of trouble: I love to accumulate things. Like a collection. "Oh, I have only 42 med-kits... I should keep them." And I got them out only when needed for a challenge, so I don't use them too often.

    I only use items when i get an archive saying i have to fully use something, then its the only time. Otherwise ill just hoard them from the map itself and take it with me. I lose items way too often since i always get paired in stupid matchups where the others dont wanna help me so i gave up on taking items with me

    I use them pretty often, but mainly yellow medkits/flashlight/toolboxes

    I usually bring an item just to something, usually I don’t use it but if I do then I guess it came in handy.

    Rarely. Only item I enjoy are firecrackers and I save those for blinding challenges. Unless there's a challenge I'm not likely to bring an item, I have more fun trying to escape with an item.

    I always bring a brown medkit if I have it. I'm the brown medkit guy.

  • lkalin91

    Almost never, brown medkit if I don't have some kind of healing in my build.

  • Ruma
    Ruma Member Posts: 2,069

    Why dont bring a item without addons then?

    Also this change was only fair since killers also lose their addons.

    Besides that, the change was still great for survivors since they also made it so, your items wont disappear once depleted.

    Every single match without exception. Every match I'm earning more than enough blood points to replace what I brought and then some so why not? Even bringing one every match I'm still sitting on more than I can ever use. I won't always use addons, but always an item.

    Why would I not want to heal twice as fast? Or repair a gen slightly faster?

    Only when a challenge requires it, otherwise, Plunderers gives me everything I need.

  • Science_Guy
    Science_Guy Member Posts: 2,034

    Never.

  • Lx_malice
    Lx_malice Member Posts: 1,417

    Whenever I forget to store the item I escaped with in the previous match.

    I like to bring maps to keep track of all the totems when Detective's Hunch goes off.

  • skylerbound
    skylerbound Member Posts: 754

    Brown medkit I’ll bring or yellow. Otherwise, unless there’s a challenge, event or I’m doing a meme build, I won’t use anything.

  • Mr_K
    Mr_K Member Posts: 9,244

    Only if a challenge requires it. Sometimes I bring plunderers to find the needed item to avoid using up my stock.

    I hoard my items. 😕

  • Yords
    Yords Member Posts: 5,781

    Almost every game, I am stocking up on yellow and up tiered items. Otherwise, I use stitches on brown medkits or yellow and brown toolboxes.

  • notstarboard
    notstarboard Member Posts: 3,903

    Every single match. I already have more good items than I know what to do with and there's really no sense in saving them.

  • Satori

    Dont like bring items cause you know, when i bring medkit its something like plague, or if i want to repair gens with toolbox killer find me first and goodbye my gens🤷‍♂️

    No reason not to bring at least a brown item tbh. I always bring either a brown med kit or a brown toolbox.

    Having one free heal, or being able to get around one generator worth of tinkerer is pretty nice.

  • REL1_C
    REL1_C Member Posts: 619

    I always bring Items, every game in fact. I also use broken add-ons because I can lol. If I feel like gen rushing, I'll bring Brand new part and If I feel like a second chance, well probably 5th chance. I'll run borrowed time in a bottle.

  • RPGWolfGamer23
    RPGWolfGamer23 Member Posts: 126

    I always try to bring a medkit so I can heal myself whenever I need to without wasting my teammate's time so they can do gens. Usually I only bring a brown medkit since I have quite a few of them on my characters.

  • Volcz
    Volcz Member Posts: 1,187

    I bring them pretty much every game. There is no reason not to, even if you lose them, you make it back in the bloodweb. I've got a nice stock on everything except grey medkit add-ons.

    If its something I skip or don't use, its offerings most of the time. They just pile up.

  • VexTheHex
    VexTheHex Member Posts: 1,009

    Usually I bring nothing or a medkit. I don't want to aggro the killer on me from the lobby screen cause I dared to bring a light, box, or key.

  • StibbityStabbity
    StibbityStabbity Member Posts: 1,839

    I bring nothing into the match unless I have a tome challenge.

    Whatever I find, I'll use, as long as it isn't a key.

    If it's a key, a run to a deadzone and try to hide it in grass. Not to use later, but so that nobody will find/use it.

  • Dizzy1096
    Dizzy1096 Member Posts: 918

    Almost never unless there's an archive challenge for it. Once in a blue moon I might bring a gray medkit.

    I'm cheap with items. I keep saving them for a rainy day meanwhile they all get nerfed lol I should really start using up my keys.

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    Almost never unless its to do a rift challenge. Like today to pass the one where you have to do three skill checks healing with Claudette I brought a med kit with 24 charges and a suture add-on. Easy peasy.

  • thrawn3054
    thrawn3054 Member Posts: 5,897

    Nah, the medkits are fine. Commodious is still okay, the rest is pretty meh though.

  • Mister_Holdout

    Only for daily rituals or challenges.

    i plunder and use multiple items in the game and always escape with a new one

  • Gcarrara
    Gcarrara Member Posts: 2,263

    Lately I started going in with a full kit to try and use the backlog of stuff i amassed with time. 😅

    Usually brown rarity when i bring something just to bring it. 🙂

    Im not good at using flashlight (only brought in to give other players). I dont need map because I usually have small game. I dont use Key because I dont want to get tunneled.

    Medkit & Toolbox, I always bring in.

    I mean, each of them are 3k BP, may be browns add-on make it 9k. You mostly earn over 10k per match. Talking about you will never deplete your items. For Killer, yes each of them is limited because of different character. Survivor on other hand.

    When I need them for archive challenges

  • KingFrost
    KingFrost Member Posts: 3,014

    Med-Kit: Occasionally. If I've got plenty of em'.

    Toolbox: Only if there's a sabo daily or rift challenge. Or "Use X number of Toolboxes" in which case I'll bring a brown one.

    Map: Only if there's an archive challenge. I like maps, they seem pretty cool. But I don't like using them.

    Key: Never. Even for the archive, I'll just plunder one if I have to.

    Flashlight: Only if a challenge requires it. I'm not good with flashlights.

    Firecracker: Never, I'm SAVING THEM OKAY

    Never use the Iri add-ons for any item, either.

    If you don't bring items, you're hindering your team. A map, a toolbox, a medkit. Just bring anything, because it can only improve how you do, never make you do worse. If you have a bunch of green keys or something that's just not your style of item, it's fine if you don't use it. I always bring an item, even if it's a green key, and exhaust every item a survivor has before I prestige them.

    I never did until recently. Now I bring medkits most of the time.
