Hawkings needs some serious adjustments
Seriously, DBD always had bad maps but this is just ridiculous for killers. It's pallet after pallet after pallet.
I know most of them are unsafe but they're too close one to the other and I always get stunned, something I am able to avoid in any other map. I don't like mind gaming with pallets, especially if the map got +30 of them and I have to deal with 5 in just 1 chase. Even more if the survivor got Windows of Opportunity (which they always do in my games).
I won't even talk about the distance between hooks and the looong walls dividing important sections. Not only that, but the map got a second floor without any hooks, a lot of windows and 2 gens that you just can't avoid being done.
Just like reworked Borgo, your broken RNG system is making me play this map 20 times a day. Today someone burned Sacrificial Ward to deny Hawking's offering and guess what? We played Hawkings anyway. It's the first time this happen to me in almost 1,000 hours of the game so that says something.
Please do something Behaviour, I beg you. I would never write this about any other map, really. This one is special, and not in a good way.

While Hawkins being egregious to play on most Killers is true, the map frequency is actually normal.
In previous chapters/patches including new maps or reworked maps (like when they reworked Eyrie of Crows and Borgo or R.P.D.) They manipulate the map rotation to increase those maps significantly for a short period of time to gather quick feedback on it.
Since almost everybody is hating on it, it might get a rework/update at some point.

Funny... A few days ago many people wanted to have Hawkins back because "it wasn't that bad".

I got DBD in 2020 but only played survivor back then and didn't quite understand the game very well, so no I'm not part of that group, despite wanting the ST characters back for sale.

Could people relax? We literally just got this content back, and you don't have to be pampered every second that you breathe.

Relax? The map is 2+ years old. It doesn't follow the current ways. They just dropped this junk in 2023 and expect new killers to just work.

True the map has some issues like 2 almost impossible to defend gens and some very safe loops as well as a severe collision bug with Wesker, but this map has one of the most disgusting 3gens you can have as well.
Trapper has some nasty spots, Hag was insane on this map and I guess Artist also will be. It's also good for stealth killers and was the best map for Mirror Myers. SM doesn't seem bad on it as well.
I played Sadako on this map and it was just too much for them.

I don't hear killers complain about maps where you stand on a little hill and overlook both exit doors. That's something survivors need to accept too. You win some,you lose some. That's the beauty of the game :-)

Once one of your tm drops all the pallets I'm the centre of the map it's ggs. There are no vaults just like game. Game has more pallets in fact. I'd rather play game if I wanted to win as survivor.
Crazy how killers struggle nowadays and demand pallets be so far away that if you dont play perfectly your dead.

The game was in a completely different state when this map was current, was bad back then, and has just been dropped into the current meta
