As a breakout user, I really miss the 6 meters.

The 20% -> 25% buff didn't feel worth the 6 -> 5 meter distance. I feel like I'm more often getting less struggle progress on my teammate because of that single meter difference. I'd rather have the old version back.

    Damn I didn't even know Breakout got nerfed, wasn't playing DBD during that patch. I don't think it even needed the nerf to begin with, the 20% to 25% buff was fine on its own. The old version was definitely better though due to its consistency and worrying about getting hit by the killer less.

    I don't really blame BHVR for being cautious with wiggle-related perks especially after the Boil Over fiasco a couple of years ago. They probably didn't want to buff Breakout to 25% without any drawback.

    But I agree the changes were a nerf overall and the old version with the lower bonus was slightly better. Even though it has a higher bonus now, it's harder to stay in range and constantly be giving the carried survivor the wiggle bonus without being hit by the killer on accident. And 5% extra wiggle speed doesn't really make up for that imo. I would rather have the old version back as well.

    I completely agree with you there. Don't blame them, but it was just a bad change.

    Does that change even matter? I dropped this game for 2 reasons and 1 of which is that any reworked map with the new hook density makes sabotages impossible.

    Even with breakout and taking hit and killer not having IG/agi and surprising killer with sabotaging the hook he was going for and killer downing survivor in the far away spot from hooks - even after all these requirements there is VERY good chance killer will still make it to next hook.

    Just take a flashlight or flashbang if you want to help teammate. Sabotages don't matter any more.

    Agree. Should be 25% at 6 meter.

    I use sabo a lot, it works fine, and I just want the perk to return back to 6m. This is a very simple post.
