A second objective for survivors?

Back when I got dbd as a gift like 1.5 years ago I thought as a survivor you'd have to find tools in order to be able to repair generators. Now after all this time I know pretty much anything about dbd but I'm still wondering why exactly is it possible to simply fix gens with your bare hands. Do you think there should be 4 additional chests on the map that contain repair tools? It could be a way to give killers more time allowing them to play less sweaty which would increase the fun for both sides in the long run - at least theoretically. Also it wouldn't be too annoying/dangerous for survivors as chest auras are not reveiled to the killer. It would be a reason to run plunderer's instinct, too. So what do you think?

    If I remember right the devs said that they are looking in ways to add objectives. I guess a first step are the additional objectives we got on the "hallowed blight" and will get the the new "moonrise" event.

    Also most people forget that survivors kinda have a second obejctive allready ... the totems. So many people complain about NOED being to strong. But the solution is so easy for that and most survivors don't even can finish those 5 totems.

    We will see what the devs have in store for us in the future. ;)

    Currently a second objective would break the balancing completely into the killer side and that's not the meaning of balancing. You cannot just add easily things and say yea balanced, no it's not.
    They are reworking killer, balancing maps and fixing the endgame and this is a big deal. And maybe a second (must-) objective will never be a thing ^^

    they doing something to make a second objective for survivor but it wont be that easy since they wont make just putting second objective and thats if they do a second objective they need to do something about camping and tunneling

    A second optional objective say to increase bloodpoints granted in the match would not slant it towards killers unless survivors choice to attempt it. Maybe a 25% in all categories if a particular event was done. Drain plants etc something like that. It needs to be completed before the final generator pops. Risk vs Reward
