Why is it that if i use Franklin's im trash

I play killer and the only two perks i rely on is franklins and whispers cause i cant find anyone. Ive noticed after alot of games im told im trash cause i have franklins on yet im going against 2 tool boxes, a medkit and a flashlight and 8/10 times im gen rushed yet im still called trash. Wasn't franklins put in the game for a reason and isnt it one of the killers main perks like the 3 for some killer, why do survivors make this such a big deal and get so salty over it im starting to hate playing cause ps4 survivors are the biggest cry babies i have ever played with or against

    I dont have a post game chat on ps4 thats only for pc players instead what this person did was send me a friend request and then a msg with it but usually its just them sending messages to me personally im just at that point where i dont want to play cause of it and i really like the game

    Yep. I have my chat communication turned off on xbox. Not just for this game, but any game in general. People get very salty and think a message will do harm. LOL

    Set your profile to private and they can't message you anymore. That's what I did. A lot of butt hurt people that get mad because they don't survive every match.

    Its already private as far as a I know cause when i go to my msgs it doesnt show their msgs but this one I think left a comment when he sent the friend request which again makes no sense

    Don't worry about what others say. Just enjoy the game how you want to.

    Some Survivors are little too attached to their items.

    Whenever a survivor throws insults at you after a match, you know you did something right. Enjoy it.

    You aren't trash.

    Use whatever perks you want.

    Re-check your privacy settings, I play on PS4 make sure all of your settings are on Friends Only, not friends of friends or public. This will reduce your spam and hate mail by 99% .. If people are circumventing your privacy settings report them to PSN. That's a bannable offense. Just make sure all your privacy settings are where they need to be first, and send them a screenshot of your settings and the offending messages.


    Lastly don't party, or accept invites from people you don't know while playing this game.


    This drastically increased my fun and lowered my stress levels when playing the game as both a killer and a survivor.

    I dont wanna ban them cause its not worth it i just wanna know why survivors wanna get salty over certain perk being used and when they are used on the weakest killer i just cant wrap my head around that

    Don't you know? It's one of thousands different rules survivors decided for us for their convenience. Meanwhile they'll go 4 swf with every broken perk, item and loop milked to death and call you trash when 2 escape withva key lmao. Part of this community is disgusting, if you get messages through friend requests just report them imo. Maybe after a few suspensions from psn they learn.

    (this is so appropriatte, hope it's against rules)

    Honestly, It's sad that we need to be in private to play this game. I've recently gave up and done the same

  • fluffymareep
    fluffymareep Member Posts: 634

    There is one for survivor's, though. Don't bring in keys, take overly strong loops repeatedly, etc. So many killers get fussy over silly stuff, too, like sabboing hook. You're literally not doing the objective for something that usually doesn't pay off.

    If I play survivor and join a lobby where 3 people have toolboxes, I deliberately don't take a toolbox because otherwise I am effectively ASKING for Franklin's (or a lobby dodge).

    Keep using what you want, survivors don't care about your feelings when they bring in instaheals etc.

    Honestly anything you do in this game makes you trash.

    Just get used to being trash if you're gonna play a competitive multiplayer type game of any sort and enjoy your gaming life.

    Hate mails is good mail man.

    Let their Petty qualms feed your thirst for more hooks!!!!!!

    But ho early when making a build for a character or killer or anything in any game for you ever stop and think of how it's going to effect the opposing team?

    I bet you don't.

    I bet none of you do :)

    Because it's about winning. And the game provides you the tools to do it.

    No matter how annoying it is. It's irrelevant cause you're playing a game to win.


    Keep winning , my friends. With disregard to the people you're beating because who gives a #########. You're there to win.

    Franklin's and several other perks are 'trash' not because they're good or bad - though Franklin's isn't actually good or bad - they're considered 'dick moves' because their mechanic serves more to annoy than give legitimate purchase against the other team.

    I view Franklin's as situational, like No Mither, or all of Legion. The other team catches on quick, and pretty quickly the benefits can be mitigated by coordinated or just intelligent gameplay, and it becomes basically a wasted perk for a bit of wasted time.

    I get the same stuff with NOED, it's not really a big deal just don't even respond and play how you want to play.

    Either get a bit thicker skin or maybe find a new game/hobby

    You're not doing anything wrong, people just can't stand "losing".


    Don't care what people you've never met say to you after you kill them. Laugh and move on.

    I have nothing against Franklin's Demise. But this perk still deserves a little indirect nerf: the killers should not see the items of the survivors in the lobby.

  • PigMainBigBrain
    PigMainBigBrain Member Posts: 1,893

    No....no they're not....


    Perks are the equivalent of a survivors power. They all have the same capabilities outside of perks of which some are only specific to certain survivors.

    There are survivor perks that mimic items...bottany and self care>med kits Proove thyself and leader>toolboxes. Sabo toolboxes come as a built in perk. The only thing you can't perk yourself into instead of an item is a flashlight.

    Well i use whispers and franklins cause I'm always being gen rushed and those two help me cause even with whispers i suck at killer which is why i NEVER get past rank 16

  • JnnsMu

    I disagree. A good team of survivors doesn't need any items to beat any killer that isn't The Nurse. Additionally, killer perk slots are really valuable and Franklin's doesn't even completely disable items. For example, you can still get a lot of use out of toolboxes before being hit.

    Using an item that you probably have hundrets of anyway to deny the killer a perk slot is a good deal for survivors.

    The only to reason flame someone for using Franklin's is frustration over losing an item. And that is definitely not a good reason.

    So no OP you are not an #########.

    because they are trash without their items, so they project. there are no rules.

    you bring a toolbox, im bringing franklins and a mori. just because i dont like you.

    Fun DBD story for ya. 

    I was playing Cannibal at Lampkin lane. Got a rough team of SWF who were harassing me. One was particularly bad, a Feng. I was irked, so I took the bait and hunted her down. I used Franklin’s Demise to knock her super fancy toolbox out of her hand on the first hit. More chasing, then she eventually goes down.

    2 of her friends storm the hook and take her down before I can even reset from hooking. At the same time another one opens the gate. Rather than chase, I go back to that juicy toolbox sitting in the grass and stand over it with a revved chainsaw! She wanted it back SO BAD! Every trick to try to lure me away! Eventually the Endgame timer ran low and she had to leave! Lmao!!!! 😂😂

    Because they don't like losing 1 of their 200 Med-Kits they got from the infinite-supply Bloodweb.

  • NunoSobral94

    I also like the idea of Franklins perk. And if a survivor wants his item back go grab it where it fall. Also it doesnt affect me when i play survivor because i usually dont use items xD

    I use franklin's all the time on Hag, even if I see few items. (Minimum of 2 or more items, or one flashlight period)


    I find Franklin's slows the game down quite a bit because survivors looking for their items after being hooked or losing me in a chase are survivors not doing generators.


    I especially find Franklin's fun on Hag as one can place a trap down right next to the item (I often do it mid-chase as the items are hard to spot on the ground sometimes or someone else might grab it) because survivors tend to tunnel vision on the item (Especially McLoopyPants and their purple flashlight) and activate the trap, getting jumpscared or netting me a free hit.


    One could also do it with the Trapper and place the bear trap directly ontop of the item. Survivors can still grab it without even having to disarm the trap if they're close enough from testing in KYF but it's possible they might just run up to it and get their leg caught. I've never tried it with Trapper in an actual match.


    EDIT: Plague can also make use of Franklin's. Hit a survivor, and then puke on the item and you can infect it. If a survivor cleanses and goes to pick it up they get reinfected, although the duration is pretty short (35 seconds without addons, 45 seconds with the best duration addon although I am not sure if they can be stacked) so I don't know how useful it is, just something to consider.


    Rework Freddy might be really good at this considering the Snares are pretty large and look like they ought to be big enough to completely cover the item's pick up zone, meaning a survivor HAS to wake up if they want to get their item back without giving their position away.

    As a survivor i never bring an item in it ruins my bp net gain 0 spent to get 15-20k is far better than spending 15k to earn 25-30k and taking a higher chance of dying because my item giving me away just my two cents.

    The devs already said they can't control psn, or Xbox messages so sending a report to them is wasting your time just send it to your console report system unless you are on computer and they use the post-game chat Instead of whatever steam has

    But thats not my problem and just because some one uses a perk doesnt make them trash i dont call a killer trash cause they use things like ruin, noed,bbq and nurses or when they use a killer like ghostface and i cant see them

    Because Survivors want to use their items, didn't you read the Survivor's rule book for Killers?
