Killers, What Items Push You Into Tryhard Mode?

When you enter a lobby and you see the items on survivors, what actually alerts you that you'll need to sweat this game? Obviously keys mean the gloves are off, but do you feel equally as pressured by toolboxes? What about medkits, maps & flashlights?


Personally I feel more pressured by toolboxes than any other item, including keys. As a Clown main, more toolboxes just exacerbate my main weakness, which is map control. Keys just let me know that there's one guy I shouldn't hesitate to tunnel.


Medkits, flashlights and maps don't really change my game plan at all. There's a chance it's an ultra rare, but I'd rather just play instead of getting in my own head. Flashlight squads hurt themselves more than they hurt me, because they all jump off the generator to try and save one guy. They pretty much hand themselves to me.

    Medkits are really tough for me because I usually don't commit at a single chase at the early game. I like to keep changing targets and they really hurt my playstyle, especially those you can heal yourself like 63 times.

    None.

    I do soften up on seeing Maps though, gotta protect the precious.

    Medkits: A full swf of med-kits means franklins to reduce number of heals and try-harding

    Toolboxes: do not care

    Map: remove any totem perks

    Keys: tunnel key holder and play dirty, especially if they use a hatch offering also

    Flashlights: be aware of surroundings and relax cause the game will probably be easier

    Four stack of keys= avoid match

    Four stack of medkits= plays normally

    Fourstack of flashlights= Always be alert of someone being around and stare at wall when picking up

    Fourstack of toolboxes= plays normally if i see they all using best toolboxes and brand new part get them some deodorant cause sheesh they sweaty

    None ? But I think med kits are the best items.

    Keys. Nothing else really bothers me, all the other items are tame additions to a match that make it more interesting.


    Broken keys are the worst though, they piss me off. Stupid OP, they need a nerf badly.

    Keys. Early escape ? Early kill !

    More than one tool box, I'm tunneling the weakest link out. Tool boxes tell me you want a fast game, therefore, I'll do my best to give out fast deaths.

    Flashlights mean nothing since I run Lightborn.
