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.

has anyone seen an influx of keys as killer?

I swear to god 5 of 6 games i play have a key in them. I normally play to have fun but it always ends with a key escape and key escapes are the most annoying. People the change they made makes zero difference to the gameplay you dont have to use up all your keys

    chests are bugged and plunderer's is basekit rn so that would explain why

    I’ve seen it as both killer and survivor. First chest I came to in a match gave me a key. Last match as killer they found a key in a chest and all three remaining just left. I really despise keys.

    Its just annoying to have pressure toward the end of the match and to have an item just veto anything you built up

    Almost all my matches this entire month had the hatch as the biggest threat. And if I had a penny for every match in which i'm left defending 3 gens only for the 3 remaining survivors to escape with a key I would be rich. It's extremely annoying and unfair but survivors have fragile egos and need the undeserved win.

    At least that way they don't get to cry about NOED or Devour Hope or whatever perk they consider OP while their entire team has unbreakable, borrowed time, dead hard and decisive strike.

    Worst offenders are the ones that switch to key at the last second in lobby.

    I normally don't condone tunneling, but if that's what it takes to make the key go away . . . Sad thing is, they key-swapper is usually the worst looper, from my experience, so . . .

    Just had that happen to me last match. It was going to be an easy 4k. Became a 1k in an instant.

    And it not like you force the 3 gen right? They just mindlessly pop gens to have hatch appear because there arent any consequences. They have a key so no need to worry

    Keys aren't an issue they say yet it is legit an EVERY game thing.

    Honestly not really.

    No more than normal when I play killer.

    I'm a killer main but when I play survivor even I've noticed the tunneling is getting out of control; I haven't disconnected from a game in a while but I just disconnected from a game because I was being tunneled straight off hook for the 5th game in a row. Taking a break now.

    (I mean we are talking, ignore other targets, wait out BT, eat a DS and keep at it, tunneling )

    I had them three gen. All three gens were a stepping stone away from one another. Then the hatch “magically” spawns in the middle of said three gen. And they all skip a beat and leave. I legit feel the game did me dirty there.

    Due to the influx of keys coming from chests I just tunnel and camp, and I really do not care about what the survivors say afterwards, because every single game someone finds a key. Until they fix that I will continue to be anti fun, because the survivors want to have a cheap escape also. It gets people off gens so I am content with it.

    I see them pretty often but they rarely get to use them 🤷‍♂️

    Test run for when every survivor has escape keys by default. Soon the hatch will spawn after the first down to counter oppressive killers and hook suicides.

    I'm seeing them every second or third game at least, and they are almost always looted midgame. Most escapes I've had against me recently have been from teams that stop doing gens entirely after one or two of them die, just to go and loot a key and escape that way. Feels like there really is no way to win against a half decent team once a key is in the game; it isnt possible to defend the gens, take chases, and defend a hatch that spawns randomly in the map (especially if you never even see the key that they looted). Honestly getting tired of playing games just for half of the survivors to ditch their objectives and hatch out with no counterplay.

    Yep Im also beginning to lose interest in the game itself and it mostly because of how many keys are being played. I'm to the point where im going to take a PERM break and be done. Just waiting for RE village to come out

    Its literally discouraging. Your stressing against this 4 stack who doesn't have to do much except hold w press E and hold M1 you create this great game and put an item that literally gives free escapes its completely ridiculous

    I also think the games RNG is bugged to give survivors a key every match from a chest with or without plunderers as i have found keys almost every time i searched a chest.

    To be fair, gen rushers before all this would 3 gen themselves against me 85% of the time. I know sometimes I'm just not applying enough pressure when I'm getting rushed, but when a rush usually ends up like that, that's just bad survivor play. And then I get the hate mail for taking advantage of what they gave me and easily patrol the 3 gen. That's why this bug has Franklin's always on right now. Too many got away when many of them didn't deserve it.

    I'd say before this, it was a good 55-60% chance a key spawned in a chest in my matches. It's maddening. I just think keys should only be on the blood web. Killers can't find a mori and instantly kill people during a match. Even with Devour, you have to put in work to get it to 5 tokens. There's no work in opening a chest and gen rushing.

    As a survivor every chest gives me a key or a purple toolbox its nuts!

    As killer I have seen a few key escapes but nothing crazy.

    Oh yeah you can If you play solely as certain killers. But when you are Demo and you put your all into it and have a great game going and you are on rotten fields and they get to one gen and you apply that PRESSURE and they search a chest and pull a key its over

    I did a test run last night and put appraisal on (no Plunderers) and got nothing but purple and green Items. Theres gotta be something wrong with the RNG.
