Perk: Hoarder Needs a Friend
I feel like Hoarder is always just shy of finding a perk/killer buddy that can really bring out some true value. At the cost of a perk slot and gifting survivors 2 free items to use against you, you can (maybe) see if survivors interact with chests or items on ground, IF you within a certain range.
I was so convinced that shortly after this chapter drop, Binding of Kin, (like within next 3 chaps) that a new Killer Perk or power would introduce the concept of trapping chests on the map. Like I could see Dredge tampering with chests and when a player interacted then his shadowy tendrils would temporarily lock you in place and he could be notified, then try and teleport to near by locker and try to approach you before you broke free.
or a complimentary killer perk that could say…let the Killer take opened chests and booby trap and close them for reuse, except the next survivor to open the chests would be injured or put into the dying state. Then you’d actually want more chests on map.
Its been 6 chapters since Hoarder was introduced and a small part of me wants to make a build around this perk. If only it just had just a little something more to make it a tiny bit more value.

Honestly Hoarder could've been a decent perk. Instead of location pings it should just show survivor auras that are within 12 meters or so of any chest. Any chest opened will cause a damage state to the survivor. You'd essentially at most only get maybe 1 damage per survivor and then they wouldn't open any more but you also run the risk of lots of survivors that just totally ignore the chests entirely. At bare minimum you'd get maybe some early survivor finds from the aura reading.
Would be a pretty fun perk.
