Nerf / cap toolboxes
With the current gen speed, having a 4 survivors swf with the best toolboxes is just not balanced.
The gens go so quick, the games are not fun anymore :'( Why are all 4 survivors allowed having so strong items? You cannot even dodge the lobby because of last second switches sadly

They're looking into it :)
Toolbox nerfs are coming soon. All we can do now is be as patient as we can 😊.
Ah ok thx for that info
As stated in the last live stream, we're looking at toolbox stuff. As usual, I can't talk about what we're doing yet, nor when it will release.
Yep potential toolbox rework is coming in the future. Thankfully i've only ran into a coordinated SWF with 4 toolboxes a handful of times over the 1k hours i've put into killer over the last few years. It's always been a very rare occurrence for me, even at red ranks.
Use Franklin's
Survivors will be able to rig gens so that when the killer kicks it the gen will explode in their face and they blackout for 60 seconds. You heard it here first folks.
Thank you for at least letting us know you guys are looking into things!
Because if they do this, the forum will flood with "I think this is a good idea", "this is a bad idea". Threads, and then the devs may change what they're doing, they'll release it and everyone will go "this isn't what you said you were going to do!".
Similarly to how they said they were mostly going to change addons with nurse, everyone ran with it, then they changed the basekit a bit too much for some peoples likings and everyone went crazy over it, it's best to keep quiet.
Toolboxes are easy to deal with. Just lobby dodge.
Nurse nerf went pretty well...just some bugs and QoL changes to go. I suspect most people would rather toolbox changes go how Nurse rework went over how Doc rework went.
I'd just love to see their effectiveness on Generators reduced heavily, EXCEPT for the Mechanic's toolbox. Maybe it would influence the meta towards sabotage somewhat. This would also make the perk Hangman's Trick somewhat viable, and slow down games so that killers won't have problems with games going too fast.
Who said "nerf"? I said, "I can't discuss what we're doing yet." That does not mean nerf. Not even in code. :)
Honestly, the toolbox rework can't come fast enough. 1 match I just had proved the point. a SWF team, all with Purple Toolboxes, BNP and a booster item for speed. Each went to their own Gen, and I swear to god. By the time I'd even tracked down a survivor 4 Gens just boomed from nowhere after each other. I didn't know wether to laugh or cry.
It's a rare occurrence for everybody, except the really bad players of course.
There are not many 4 man SWF teams around. At least not on PC.
I can actually only confirm very few times I ever encountered them.
Most people just want to find excuses for a meaningless loss that hurt their ego.
Most who go SWF play duo.
By looking Into it does that mean it'll be months to years before the "looking into it" actually does something. Like freddy for most of the game until you finally looked into him.
