Survivor items in lobby

Reinami

Can we please make it more clear what items the survivors are bringing into the game in the lobby? It is so hard to see a key, and sometimes impossible depending on their character. Just show an icon over their heads or something.

Im fine with keys being hard to see since we can't see a mori until the offering screen. That's just my opinion tho

Honestly im fine with it the way it is. You can tell if they have a key, not by their hand, but by their body stance. It changes when they hold an item, and if you can't see an item then it's probably a key.

In-game though, I'd like it if keys were bigger and brighter.

Items are supposed to be visible before the trial, though.

Which is what the OP said. I'm glad you agree.

Not all characters work like that.

I'd agree to this if survivors could see which killer we were up against 😂😂

A whole lot of them do from my experience; their item-less idle animation is different, even if its subtle

Use your eyes. It is not that hard. Also the animation changes if the Character is holding something. Killers have 60 seconds to prepare (or to dodge, what most will likely do, lol), in those 60 seconds there will be an opportunity to see what the Survivors are bringing.

I actually just went over everyone for personal knowledge. (just to be clear, i know with most of these you can already see their item, even keys, but just wanted to actually see how those animations change for future refrence) Also note: these are all from survivor's lobby perspective. So:

• Original 4 (Dwight, Claud, Meg and Jake) have the same animation for having and not having an item
• Nea's animation changes - if she has an item, she no longer puts her arm on her other arm.
• Bill's the same
• If David has an item he no longer does that scratching of his nose.
• Laurie's and Ace's animation are the same
• Feng's entire standby animation changes - her arms are no longer crossed
• Quentin loses his idle animations, same as David.
• Tapp seems to lose one of his idle animations, where he puts his arm on his neck.
• Kate's, Adam's and Jeff's remain the same
• Jane has a clear diffrence, similiarly to Feng, one of her arm is no longer on her hips while in standby animation. Also she will no longer use her hand to put it near her face (cause she holds an item) in her idle animation.
• Ash's the same
• Nancy will no longer hug herself if she has an item
• If Steve is holding a key or a flashlight his animations are the same. If he's holding something else his tool hand will instead be on his side instead of his hips.
• Yui's animation is the same
• And finally Zarina - Her animations don't change.

So there's that.

Aside from Steve (and I am not sure if it is intended or a Bug), you can see the Key with all Survivors quite easily. Steve can be tricky tho.

Not steve/ash puppet

The Puppet has a closed mouth when holding an Item.
