Where is the much requested key rework?
I am SO tired of survivor groups bringing keys into lobbies for free escapes.
But it's far worse if the game decides to spawn a key within a chest despite the entire survivor group still being alive. I've had to witness so many escapes this week from survivors who found random keys and escaped along with 1-2 friends. This should NOT be possible at all. Keys should be prevented from spawning entirely if the survivors are already ahead or doing well.
To make matters worse, this type of thing keeps happening while I play low tier killers who already struggle hard enough to even keep up with terrible map design and insane survivor perks out there. Now imagine trying to play Trickster to get ANY value out of the questionable purchase you've made just to get scammed via key abuse. Because that's what it is, blatant abuse.

I assume they are planning a rather large rework for keys. It wasn’t as easy as adding and extra hook requirement for a mori.
Hopefully this mid chapter will be when it comes out

They’ll get to it in a few years. After they release more and more cosmetics and dlc characters and maybe fix one or two bugs that have been infesting the game for ages.

I just had to endure another game with survivors finding a key just for them to use it right away to get them and a pal outta there. All of that invalidated the herculean effort I put into the game by playing Trickster, and this broken mechanic robbed me of my chance of even pipping. This should NOT be possible, especially if there are at least 3 survivors still alive. Change this immediately.

Key rework means hatch rework, which means a rework to the endgame as a whole. It’s truly amazing how one item can create such a huge problem in the game’s mechanics.

Key abuse lol.
Keys obviously need to be reworked/nerfed but using them as they've been meant to be used for the past few years is not "abuse."

Yeah they shouldn't be able to spawn mid game. It's hella dumb and by that point it's too late as a Killer to actually counter it if the hatch spawned.
But generally, if someone brings a key. Tunnel them out of the game ASAP. If the next survivor picks it up, tunnel them as well.
A single/two man key escape is acceptable if the other two get tunnelled to death IMO

Same I’ve noticed I’ve been finding keys a lot more lately while playing survivor. I’m not even running plunderers or any special perks.
A key rework is probably not a priority so I doubt we’ll see anything soon. Remember when they talked about implementing an “early game collapse” to slow genrush? That was like 1 or 2 years ago and nothing ever came.

It is clearly an ingame exploit via altered key-spawn values so I intend to report any survivor who escapes via keys they found from chests.

How is it an exploit if it is entirely outside the player's control?
If it even IS bugged at the moment, since I haven't gotten a single key the past two days (Outside of one broken one). And my David is on a scavenger build with Plunderer's.

And literally nothing will happen except reports for actual problems will have to compete with your fake reports.
Also I'm pretty sure abusing the report function is against the rules lol.
