New survivor perk idea

You know there’s not a lot perks in the game, revolving the breakable wall for killers or survivors only really perks that buff the breaking of them or pallets.

I was thinking that we could get a new survivor perk that involves the breakable walls and doors.

For example start the match out with two charges for each charge consumed, you will have the ability to place a breakable wall but you can also rebuild broken ones. The killer can still break these walls, of course but once the two charges are gone, you may now only have the ability to break down and move pre-existing breakable walls.

this was just a fun and new idea that I thought of on the spot while playing dead by daylight and I think it would be a nice addition to the game if balanced correctly. Thank you everyone who took the time in reading this post!

    Unfortunately, any Perk that specifically relies on Breakable Walls to work can't get added, because not every map has them. It's one thing to have Perks that are stronger or weaker on certain maps, it's another for map RNG to make a Perk totally unusable. There was a time when it seemed like Breakable Walls might be retrofitted into every map, but it seems like people generally not liking them meant BHVR abandoned the idea. I don't like Breakable Walls personally but it is a bummer we'll never get to see Perks specifically utilising them like yours.

    Your idea is really fine, Survivors building breakable walls should be fairly balanced like Any Means Necessary is (tbh, I wonder if Any Means Necessary could be stronger with a limited charges system like yours instead of its current cooldown?) but the state of the game means it can't work out.

    Well it was just a cool idea i thought!! Maybe we can get a perk like that or like a different version of it!! I think maybe some map changes could be nice maybe to add some door spots!
