Please give keys another purpose

Keys feel largely worthless now. They were certainly way too strong before the hatch changes. It would be nice if they were given a little more usability.

  • I feel like they're a bit underrated, because they do have cool effects. It just hurts finding a broken key in a chest, haha.

    I'm very sparingly using them because they're an item I feel I could get more value from when I'll be better at chasing.

  • Keys have an addon to see the killer's aura.

    There's also one to always see the obsession's aura passively.

  • Personally I think they should bring back the closed hatch, but have it appear only if survivors complete all 5 gens. People hated keys and hatch because it provided to multiple survivors a way to excape the trial without completing the objective, which are the gens. But with 5 gens done, I'd argue the survivors did their job?

    If you're concerned about there being no possible counterplay, have a loud noise notification when a hatch interaction is done and make it so that it takes a few seconds to unlock the hatch.
