    If I recall correctly the answer is no they won't increase the time it takes to complete gens. That said, they did say they were looking at other things to add to increase game length without making the gens longer to complete.

    Increasing the time isn't going to change that. Instead of three generators going off 80 seconds into the match, they'll go off 100 seconds in, or 120 in. It's not a substantial difference, a survivor that knows what they're doing will be able to stall that long anyway. The only thing that'll accomplish is making the game boring for the survivors that have to sit there staring at a progress bar even longer.

    In order for it to make a real difference, it would feel awful to play.

    A secondary objective would help with this, though. Something the survivors need to do other than just generators.

    make it so only one survivor per gen. problem solved!

    You don't know that repairing 1 person per gen is already more efficient?

    how about this Gens can't be done without a toolbox and a special toolbox spawns in the game you must search chests and or around the map to find that toolbox. a total of 6 toolboxes will spawn in max or a total number of survivors plus 1

    I once saw someone say having switches to turn gens on after you fix one so that could do it 5 gens 4 switches random spawns like the hatch you have to pull a switch to 25% the gates last gen to power them fully

    yeah because 4 extra seconds to heal better sabotage and more dying state recovery will really stop the gen rushing

    Someone knows their stuff right here! :)

    Yes, it is really effective to have one survivor on every generator since you could have four generators online in 80 seconds instead if having only one powered on around 45 seconds.

    I was someone say put gears into them so you can put the repairs up by 50 which is good you have to put in 2 to fully repair mix in 15 seconds to remove broken gears if a gens regressed below 50 and to zero that like 30 added seconds plus another 10 to put in new gears
