Commiting suicide for the Gnome

This has to be the actual worst event BHVR has ever done , In order for survivors to have a chance at finding the Gnome they have to run around aimlessly and kill themself to hopefully find it and then have to escape afterwards???

4/5 of the playerbase have to kill themeselves and thier teamates just for 1 charm

Meanwhile all killers have do is equip Blood warden and get easy 4k's and get to take advantage of the event

How did this make it into live?? , it's just a suvivor suicide mechanic and an easier time for killers and A GIANT temporary buff to blood warden

    Just play one game of killer once in your life and get it.. It unlocks for both killer and survivor.

    Survivors will usually stick around at the exit gate to brag and tbag you long enough for you to find it.

    I agree though. It's very unhealthy regardless because it also encourages killers to slug one person and close hatch so they can look for the gnome while that one person is bleeding for 4 minutes.

    Absolutely disgusting "event".

    Step 1 play killer

    Step 2 farm with survivors, get them to pop all 5 gens

    Step 3 open gate. Farming survivors never leave until the very last second.

    Step 4 look for gnome, crush it, gg

    Actually I rather like this event, kind of a nice surprise. Play Killer if you find that easier to find the Gnome. I got mine while playing Survivor but you do you. :) My advice is stop looking for it. I searched for it as Survivor and Killer for a LOT of matches with no luck. When I stopped looking, I found it.

    Play killer if you want the charm.

    That isn't the Event's fault. Most Killers I know do that anyway for the points of closing the hatch. :) It never takes four minutes though. :)

    Even if players were to switch to killer to get a charm , that won't stop the 4/5 playerbase from having to kill themselves for it and they will still have to deal with blood warden triggered by teamates

    People say that is the worst event for every event they do.

    Personally, I think this is one of the best surprise events they have done in forever. I hope they do more of these things where things are just appearing on the map. Survivors don't have to commit suicide to get one. They can just play normally, and eventually they will get one. :)
