a blast mine nerf... really? A perk that does literally nothing
Why?
Comments

Wait what-
Why would they do that? The perk was fine how it was, it didn't need any nerfs..
46 -
- Blast MineChanged the behaviour when a placed mine times outIf the mine times out without being triggered, the entire perk deactivates and the Survivor will need to repair a generator to re-earn the mine (previously, a timed out mine would be allow the Survivor to immediately place another one)
I'm beyond angry. This perk didn't deserve that change at all. Revert it.

As a killer main, blast mine was never seen enough by me to change it. So weird
41 -
BHVR moment
43 -
Why I'd get if it did that with other gen related perks but by its self no either this needs to be reverted or reduced to like 40% you need to do an entire gen and a half to use this twice
8 -
... no buff in compensation? Wow... I really liked running this perk to spice things up, but okay, guess I'll still run it only now it's more trash.
18 -
BHVR reverted Mettle of Man only to nerf Blast Mine in the same patch
Has to be something ironic about that
22 -
I guess it's because you could just throwing the blast mine on the gen with no thought process and eventually be rewarded.
Granted I don't think the perk really needed this nerf, but I guess it's just to make the perk more thoughtful in use.
1 -
complete BS. Blast Mine gamers know the pain all too well of sometimes struggling just to get the generator progress, and then the killer doesnt kick gens at all.
The fact that this perk got nerfed for a Resident Evil chapter is insulting
30 -
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???????
I JUST CANT
18 -
Why was this changed? The amount you have to do to get the perk to activate was fine because we got it back if the generator wasn't kicked. Please change it back or make it so it activates sooner.
16 -
feels like we should be getting the Mine 50% faster now or something at least
18 -
Wow, one of my staple perks in my builds. Destroyed for no reason.
Guess BHVR wants survivors to use the same builds.
12 -
That perk isn’t even great there’s not much point in running it now.
8 -
Why this perk needed nerf jess? Survivors can not use any fun perk? They did not allowed? What's wrong with you BHVR seriously?
14 -
Because no fun allowed.
22 -
blast mine op
no seriosuly why the hell
27 -
I was about to come on here and complain about it, like an already pretty unuseful perk, and is really just for memeing, has been nerfed...
11 -
useless nerf. I don’t understand at all.
8 -
you could also use it as a btec better together and it suddenly became a perk that was better in solo than in swf
and they nerfed it
15 -
what thought process exactly do I have to put while using this perk in order to avoid a situation where the killer just ignores the gen and makes me waste ~60 seconds of my gentime?
Blast mine was already balanced because the killer could always choose to ignore kicking the gen at the moment and come back to it later and survivor could do nothing about it.
4 -
But why? Sure you can just not apply it to a gen unless you're about to run from the killer, but the little bit of extra info you could share by just popping it on a gen was a really nice little bonus too 😔
5 -
I consistently run Blastmine and I might get out 1 use out of it, on extremely rare occasions I've had 2. This nerf is so unnecessary. Killers can already easily tell a survivor put a Blastmine on a gen because it has the Blastmine in top and is smoking. They can easily avoid a gen with Blastmine until it runs out and then they don't need to worry about it. Blastmine was already nerfed with the gen time increase because it takes longer to get to 60% completion of a gen.
2 -
I would accept this nerf if the requirements to activate was like 25% repairing
6 -
Why? Just why?
Who would actually complaint about this perk to add that restriction?
Random nerfs like this makes me think BHVR runs a perk roulette every month and whatever gets picked receives a random restriction for the sake of filling a patch list.
6 -
Come on community,
We can't have another decent update without a questionable change
9 -
WHY WAS THIS MOVED INTO FEEDBACK THERE IS NO FEEDBACK GIVEN IT IS A COMPLAINT STOP HIDING COMPLAINT THREADS IN FEEDBACK.
18 -
No apparently not
6 -
I just saw this. This is a pretty significant nerf. You were able to use the perk in solo queue to communicate with teammates that you were on a generator. That's kind of completely destroyed now? It's just not worth using it that way anymore.
Did this perk have an incredibly high usage rate that I'm not aware of or something?
9 -
And people will still claim the the devs are survivor sided lol.
8 -
This is ridiculous. Blast Mine was fine as it was and now it's garbage. It takes so much work to get it already and that was fine before because if the killer didn't kick the gen at least you had it to use elsewhere. Now it's stupidly situational like almost every other survivor perk. It feels like survivors can't have any fun perks anymore without them being unnecessarily nerfed into uselessness.
This needs to be reverted.
9 -
I guess if you want to ignore the part where I say I don't think it needed the nerf. Just saying what I expect was BHVR's thought process.
Honestly the fact you could do that with Blast Mine probably didn't help it in the eyes of BHVR. I imagine they saw the perk as being good for info and could get a stun and wanted to focus it more on the stunning the killer part. But this really ain't the way to do that since otherwise you have a perk you activate that can do absolutely nothing then you have to rebuild it back up.

They were afraid that this was going to happen so that's why they did it, I don't understand why they make the dumbest changes possible. WHY DID THEY DO THAT. I'm mad now.
6 -
This is absolutely ridiculous, no one complained about blast mine but yet the devs just made it useless lol.
6 -
Who at BHVR got trolled by this perk?
13 -
Lets be honest here, most people only look at general discussions not the feedback section.
15 -
Wow...when the perk runs out, at least cut down the time it takes on a gene to activate it again. It's taking far too long.
I used this for the blinding rift challenges because I suck with flashlights. Now I am really pissed off.
7 -
Imagine nerfing little funny perk. Diversion nerf is next
11 -
Yeah it was at worst just annoying for killer. But fun perk for survivors to use.
4 -
For real blew my mind when I saw it.
2 -
Nobody is looking feedback posts. Everyone are discussing in general.
So moving posts to dead zone kinda hiding them.
4 -
Feedback is directed to the team, other forum users and players can't make changes to the game.
I understand the complaints, it's important to remember that we need to keep things in order to make collecting feedback easier for those who need to do it.

I thought it was Blizzard who made out of season April Fools jokes.
11 -
Exactly. Blast Mine wasn't that strong in the first place. It was a fun meme perk that bought a little time when it worked. And it's not like the killer couldn't double kick the gen, which is what most of them did when getting hit by the perk. This is literally just nerfing a perk just for the sake of nerfing it. It's stupid.

Why do this? I was pretty happy with this updated. They made so many good choices. And then they just sneak this in here, ruining one of my favorite, mediocre-but-fun perks to run for absolutely no reason. Ughhhhh. This is really the only time I've actually been mad about a perk change.
3 -
I need to know because I will be so upset. It's like they just don't want us to have our fun at all
3 -
Where can i see the full patch notes?

Totally unnecessary change imo. I have run this perk a lot lately and it already was a challenge to get any value at all. At most you could get 2 stuns this change just makes it unfun. The requirements to use it are to big and losing the entire perk without value makes it not worth taking anymore.
It was fun while it lasted I guess.
