More Black Locks

So we have add-ons that track and open Black Locks but the only Black Lock is the Hatch so I was thinking maybe we could have more things that need a Key to open.

In some games there are secret chests or hidden areas and you need to do a special thing to unlock it so I was thinking what if there was an ominous sounding chest enveloped in shadow somewhere on the map. This chest could only be opened with a Dull Key or Skeleton Key unless you have a Broken with an add-on, what is inside the chest is up to the imagination. Maybe it has a guaranteed Ultra Rare item or add-on or maybe it has a secret item inside that grants you 100% Bonus BP but gives you a sparkling glow for the rest of the match.

Now I know what some of you are thinking and yes, it must have a Key to open it, no there is no guaranteed Key placed somewhere to open it. I firmly believe that a Survivor must either randomly find one or bring one in. If a Key is placed somewhere on the map then firstly that puts the Killer at a disadvantage because they can use it on the Hatch instead and secondly it makes what is inside the chest less valuable since it can be easily obtained. What is inside is sacred and is kept under lock and key for a reason, players MUST find a Key randomly or bring one in; this makes it more fun and special when a Survivor finally opens one :)

As an added bonus to this addition it gives Keys more use and Killers won't automatically think it is for the Hatch, it could be for the chest which is preferred.

    This is a really good idea. I don’t think many people have thought of this. It would be cool if these black lock boxes or whatever had special items you could only find in there such as an ultra rare toolbox or medkit.

    I like the idea. They could even house rare event cosmetics, maybe a one time use buff for that round. like letting you see the the killer's aura for 80 seconds, speed up gen progression by 20% or 100% luck when attempting to jump off hook.

    @sirnewbington Oh that's a cool idea, a 100% chance to unhook, that's pretty major I like it.

    I like the idea, but unless there's an automatic escape behind that door/chest, Survivors are still only gonna use them on hatches and not waste them.

    @Kerbert Not everyone, some people bring in keys to bait the Killer to bring in Franklin's I myself am a collector and I love looting so I would loot these like crazy because I don't like risking not getting the hatch and dying early. Also, if you're SWF and have a good team it wouldn't be a waste to use the key on it IF the reward was an item. If the reward was a temp boost for that match then yeah more people would prob just use it on the Hatch.
