Chest Buffs

in Feedback and Suggestions

Many people consider chest opening a waste of time because:

1-You need to search for the chest in the map and it gets worse if you play in indoor maps.

2-It takes 10 seconds to open and that's a long time.

3-Most of the time you get useless items like broken key or green map.

-My suggestion is to increase the number of default chests from 3 to 6 chests , this will help you find chests instead of wandering around the map.

-My second suggestion is to reduce the chest opening time from 10 seconds to 7 seconds so you don't waste a lot of time.

-My third suggestion is to increase the rarity of items:

When you open the chest for the first time, your chance of getting rare items will be 40%.

After opening the first chest, your luck decreases by 40% until you complete other objectives, and then your luck increases again to 40%.

The number 40% luck may seem exaggerated, but I use it as an example.

    I only agree on the increase of rarity, but not on more chests or shorter opening time. It is part of the gameplay and suspense. That is well balanced. The killer has iets mto decrease the amount of chests and survivors have items to increase it. Well balanced. I have no problem with the time on opening them.

    You can always use the perk : Built to last, I use that one

    With the increase in the number of chests, you will get a more benefit from the chest perks, as the chests can be opened by any survivor.

    Yeah I know, but with the perk : built to last, the survivor recharge his/her item for an amount. That is already enough I think. And if you start opening chests and run away for some reason, you can always come back. You dont have to start again from the beginning

    The higher rarity should be a thing, and I would also like special, unique items to have a chance to be in chests.

    Also, maps and keys need an overhaul along with their add-ons, some of them are useless.

    I would really like to see this in the game, currently chests without perks are forgotten at mid and higher levels.
