Keys

I know the Key nerf is coming. I know it is.

But holy ######### I have been key'd 8 times TODAY from people running Plunderer's + Appraisal.

I've been trying to get a no add-ons no perks Demo streak going and it is incredibly frustrating to finally have pressure in a 3-gen scenario only for a Key to allow them to escape. Having it happen so many times is just the cherry on top. I had a game where there were MULTPLE Keys pulled. As in, I closed Hatch and they opened it again in my face, and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

Rant's over, it's been a long day.

It is up to 10 now.

    I wouldn't count key escapes as losses in my opinion. I know I sure don't unless the gates are powered.

    Yea I know, but don't count it. They still haven't finished the last gen. This is my win/loss conditions. Keys are not a loss unless gates are powered. If 2 or more people get out of the exit I count it as a loss also. Otherwise it's not a loss. The problem is, is that survivors usually just end up 3 genning themselves, but most of the pressure that comes out is mainly on the last 2 gens so they just get an automatic way out, so I wouldn't count it if I were you.

    I had 4 key games in a row. No one brought the key in, and there was no Plunderers or Appraisal in play. Keys really live up to their rarity title.

    I, as a solo survivor only, see a hatch escape as a loss, unless a) all 4 escape, meaning the objective is done anyway, or b) 3 people escape because the killer forfeit the game by camping and tunneling the first survivor he caught.

    One or two escaping via hatch ist a loss unless all gens are done.

    I have like 6 keys in my load out 😂


    They keep popping up on my blood Web, but I sit and think If I take that into the match, that killers coming for me first or will just throw a massive pansy tantrum. So for that reason I don't use them and run left behind instead. If the hatch is locked then it's a case of "guess I'm screwed then" ... unless of course by chance I see a key on the floor. But with this perk by the time the killers found the hatch I'm down it anyway. And I will ALWAYS say good game if their chat is available.


    Or most times the killer will drop me down the hatch anyway to escape. Ask why they let me go and not got that last hook kill and they've said I played played and deserved to live. Honestly swear to god my heart melts for these guys who are that adorable ❤

    I 100% agree key/hatch escapes before gens are done means the killer won, the problem is that isn't how BP or emblems are scored. The killer gets punished for the key escapes & survivors rewarded. It never feels like a win in this scenario as killer.

    Yeah, we all know just how frustrating keys can be. Their nerf is long overdue.

    Love how you still loot keys on cooldown with no plunderer's. Can killers randomly mori survivors they never hooked before too?

    That's not random and only the obsession and only after all 5 gens have been completed.
