Fix Killer Adepts

Why can you "play too perfectly" as some characters as to not get a "perfect" game. Why is that a thing. Someone explain to me who thought that was a good idea. I want to know which bright mind on the development team decided "oh, clearly, if you end chases a couple seconds after they begin as billy with your chainsaw, you aren't as good as a billy who M1s and doesn't use his ability at all!"

Make it make sense.

    They changed Killer Adepts to be a "Merciless Victory" back when how you did was determined by I believe your bloodpoints. I know for a fact it was before emblems existed, but I don't remember the specifics of HOW it was ranked. I'm 90% sure it was bloodpoints. Either way, this became screwy when emblems became a thing. The unfortunate thing is they aren't allowed to change it because one of the companies they work with (99% sure it's Sony) won't allow achievement changes unless they become literally impossible to achieve. That's why we haven't seen a change yet. I get how annoying this is though and still wish they'd try to change the achievement.

    Game needs to last at least 8 mins; Chases need to last less than 45 seconds with a hit; Need at least 11 Hooks; need at least 20 weapon hits.

    If you nail all these criteria, you will get merciless killer every time.

    Hope this helps.

    Meanwhile survivor adept: get out.


    At least killer adepts got easier thanks to grades and their full monthly reset.

    Imagine it would depend still on something like a certain amount MMR increase.

    Three kills is enough to get merciless killer under certain conditions; if you get your last hooks during endgame collapse, for example, you get bonus points and end up meeting conditions for a win; if you know you are only going to get one person hooked and are close to a door, it may be beneficial to open the door first and then hook the survivor.

    Editing to explain that a 3k with the last survivor being hooked during endgame collapse has increased value and may be enough to not worry about hunting down the 4k.
