How would you "fix" adept achievements for killers

As we all know survivor adepts are really simple, just escape using the characters 3 own perks. But when it comes to killer adepts, you need double pip which also depends on the rank you are on (only slightly but in the end it can be game changer)

If you compare the 2, survivor and killer adepts, killer has to do alot more work in order to get theirs. Yes they are possible if you play extremely well. But you have to play "fair" in order to get the iridescent emblems. Sometimes its not even possible when survivors bombrush the hooks and all that. So i would like to see what kind of ideas you would have that make the killer adepts slightly easier than they currently are.

    Either getting a 4k

    Or you have to hook every survivor once or twice

    I think both survivor and killer adepts should be changed to getting silver or better in each emblem category.

    Getting a 4k

    Getting a 4k. Disconnects counting for the 4k too.

    i would keep it the same because while its alot harder then surv and certain killers like billy and bubba are harder to get at least the achievement is somewhat of a challenge and if a certain killer is really that hard for someone u just wait till reset and its literally zzz easy at rank 20

    They don't need "fix", they are totally fine how currently they are. They are not hard, but still give you a challenge and satisfaction after completing it. Just 4k as an achievement is laughable. It's called an achievement for a reason

    Getting the 4k would be the best. It doesn't prevent the slugging-for-the-4k scenarios, but at that point I would so the same.

    When survivors only need to escape, even through the hatch, killer ones are unreasonably hard in comparison.

    As someone who has all of the Adept killer achievements and almost all of the survivor ones (I had to do them again on the PS5), the killer ones absolutely should be changed. As was pointed out, using your power correctly actually punishes your emblems in certain instances (look no further than Plague, where you're penalized if survivors are constantly cleansing). Either the emblem system needs a rework, or a simple 4K should suffice.

    If Adepts were equitable, survivor Adepts should require a double pip instead of simply escaping. I'm not advocating that -- leaving it as it is works fine -- but let's not pretend that a survivor who hides for the majority of the match while their teammates pump out gens then escapes, or someone who gets an Adept against a killer who AFK's wouldn't be more laughable than someone getting a 4K as killer, which is the way the system currently works.

    4 kills with a DC counting as a kill would be nice and mirror survivor adepts. Either that, or change survivors to need quadruple Iri.


    Just a joke. Please don't do that Behavior, I know you love the idea right as you read it, but I insist I was being facetious.

    Only allow the use of the required perks until the achievement is completed. /s

    If those perks are on, and you are playing normally, it will eventually happen.

    Every time a new killer comes out I force myself to only use their perks until I get adept. Unlocking the use of normal perks is my "reward". It is a fun way to get it done.

    Like it was at the start. Kill all four survivors while only using the killer's three perks.

  • Carrow

    12 hook the team without any exit gates opening using your three perks.

  • Ryan489x

    4K with the three perks, done.

    Unlike most of the people here, I'd go for the "no more than one survivor"

    So, at least a 3k using only the teachables of that killer

    I don't see why adepts need to be needlessly hard. It's achievements that reward nothing

  • RAZERbladz13

    Make adepts exactly like the rift challenge adepts. "Use these 3 perks and do this". No extra requirements necessary.

  • NerfedFreddy
    NerfedFreddy Member Posts: 394

    Just got achievement as Leatherface (second try). Like i said adepts are fine. 4k isn't enough. 4k camping killers shouldn't be rewarded with adept. Emblem system is quite generous and you don't need perfect chaser emblem to get adept


  • CharlieChatBox
    CharlieChatBox Member Posts: 258

    If anything, the adept achievements are easier now than ever before. If you do the achievement attempt right after rank reset while in ash, it should take only 1-5 attempts to get it. Trying for merciless while Iridescent is a fool's errand.

    If you were Silver grade instead of Bronze, you wouldn't have double pipped because of that silver Chase emblem.

    3 Sacrifices = Adept.

    Pretty simple.

  • Nos37
    Nos37 Member Posts: 4,142

    2 Sacrifices. The number of sacrifices the devs balance around.

  • WesCravenFan
    WesCravenFan Member Posts: 2,638

    I would say a 4K with the three unique perks equipped.


    It shouldn't matter how you get the 4K. As long as you get it.

  • NekoGamerX
    NekoGamerX Member Posts: 5,288

    why do people keep saying do this when rank reset(I think they mean grades) and MMR don't reset like grades.

    btw I have all killers and survivors adepts and you know what they can change it because survivor is to easy to get and killer to hard sometime.

    and true should be 4k or 3k because as other have said we can't use are power if we trying to get adept there no skill in getting adept on both side just pain on the killers side.

  • Hannacia

    3-4 kills should be adept. Its ridiculous how survivors can get adept just by escaping and killers have to jump through hoops to get theirs.

  • EntitySpawn
    EntitySpawn Member Posts: 4,233

    3k.

    Simple as that. 2k is considered a good match in their balance, if 2k makes you increase in MMR then a 3k should give the adept. It also stop that damn annoying slug for the 4...

    Side note: EMBLEMS SHOULD JUST BE EASIER IN GENERAL. Emblems arent used for balance, we dont need strict emblems like 9hooks for an iri etc. Its only to get extra BP so I dont get why theyre so strict still

  • CharlieChatBox
    CharlieChatBox Member Posts: 258

    Because even if MMR doesn't reset, the metric off of which you get the adept off of is. What is a merciless at Ash is barely a Ruthless if not a brutal at iridescent.

    Also, failing the first 2-3 attempts drops your MMR enough to get it on the next 2 attempts. The Adepts shouldn't be attainable after 2 matches, unless you really know the killer and/or their perks.

  • NekoGamerX
    NekoGamerX Member Posts: 5,288

    I can get merciless too in silver and gold thing is for most killers you can't use your power if your trying for the adept, it shouldn't be this hard to get an adept for killers when survivor is way to easy.

    btw I got all killers adepts on PS4 and I still ok if they change it.

  • CharlieChatBox
    CharlieChatBox Member Posts: 258

    Yeah, I partially get what you're on about, but if I know the pip system is rigged against me when I'm at higher ranks, why should I attempt at the higher ranks. And survivor is "easier" as in its also 60% out of their control, because getting ######### teammates screws an attempt harder than anything else. Also, congrats on getting achievements, I guess?

    4k is the most eloquent solution.

    It also fixes the problem of dissonance for the post-trial evaluation.

    "MERCILESS KILLER!" because you double pipped.

    Uhh... I gave a guy hatch... 3K.


    Get a merciless on a 4K and make that the adept. Plain and simple, no deeper meaning or odd challenge.

    Survivors just need to survive. 4K is still harder than survivors, but at least it's quantifiable and you don't have to rewrite 3rd party achievements to get it to work.

  • burt0r
    burt0r Member Posts: 4,160

    According to you they should make survivor way harder then?

    Just waiting for hatch is ridiculously easy or alternatively using a gate opened by another survivor without doing anything for it seems even more easy than a 4k most of the time.

    Oh wow the reach there. From video game achievements to educational degrees.

  • burt0r

    Good job totally missing the point.

    Survivor adepts are ridiculously easy and can be done without ANY effort.

    On killer that's impossible and needs a significantly higher amount of minimum effort.

    This whole post is kind of whataboutism a d correct.
