    I don't really use them but they now feel more useless.

    It's only really a problem when you get multiple Survivors with these add ons.

    This is the bug report forum. The Feedback and Suggestions forum seems like a better spot for this

    You should have made an option for one or the other if we only like 1.

    That being said, I like the new Styptic but hate the new pink needle or whatever it's called

    I'm not really a fan of either of them. In general, I don't like OP consumables on either side being nerfed into the ground for balance reasons, because I am of the (unpopular) opinion that rare, one-time use mechanics add flavour to the game, and trying to ensure that every individual match must be perfectly balanced makes the game overall less interesting.

    I feel like with the change making them weaker, they should not consume the medkit. Also, there's no reason why they don't stack. But right now you can place both on a medkit but they don't stack.

    As a competitive player I love these add-on changes not only are they fair for both sides but there's synergy and counter play aspects, although the styptic agent is kinda bs but still a right step in the direction. Besides only reason many people will disagree with these changes is that the add-ons aren't as effective anymore, since they're 1 time use they should be OP logic & of course survivors don't get a 100% second chance in certain situations.

    Styptic and Syringe should swap rarities

    I felt like the insta heals were too much of a crutch. Using these heals feels like it requires skill to actually get some use out of them.

    If you're in a Chase and you pop it then you have to maintain the chase for it to take effect.

    Awesome move by the dev by daylighters

    Yes. I have used the old ones from time to time, mostly when I had some bad games and was thinking that I need the good stuff. I have like 400 in total on my Main Character alone, so I have not used them that often.

    I like that some Skill is involved (because you need to extend the chase a little bit for the Syringe) and there is also Counterplay from the Killers side. Regardless of which "Insta Heal" was used, the Killer can wait 10 seconds and he does not have to fear any of them.

    Personally, I think healing 1 Health State instantly was not that big of a problem. It was strong, but borderline okish. The Syringe was the real Bullshit, since it brought someone from Dying to Healthy.

    I feel like the styptic has too little time before it goes away(still uses the med kit), and the syringe is pretty bleh. I'd rather take heal speed increase addons.

    I'm indifferent.

    I'm satisfied. I guess that's not quite loving them, but they definitely take more skill to use, and they are not as abusive, which is all I wanted from their nerfs.

    I would have liked a different change. The current one is fairly useless. Any other change, I'd have been satisfied.

    Styptic agent was basically left untouched. It's still the same in chase, and arguably worse against instadown killers.
