Can we get a survival point category rework?

Just as the title states i think this category needs to either be reworked or replaced entirely. For one it is almost impossible to max this category out unless you are in a farming match and getting a meaningful amount of points in said category is entirely contingent on escaping the trial. So for the duration of the trial you can really only work on 3 point categories as opposed to 4 which i think is a contributing factor as to why survivors dont make as many points on a per trial basis.

I would like to see more ways to get survival points. More opportunities. Escaping the killer in a chase should award survival. being in the killers terror radius should award survival, length of time alive in the trial, etc. So many different things that could be added to make getting points in survival more natural without it feeling like a dead point category.

As for escaping the trial that should change to be a sort of invisible 5th category. Like how we have a 5th objective category during events. BBQ event, halloween, etc. It could be the flat rate that it is now. 4000 points plus an additional 2000 points per each survivor that escapes aswell. So theoretically if you get a 4 man escape that is 10,000 bonus points on top of what you earned in the trial.

Thoughts? opinions? Honestly i just want survival to not be useless.

    Also you gotta be careful with this, Id like to remind you about the 200% WGLF

    Honestly it should be reworked to match the emblem. If you get out without getting drowned, you get full points. Otherwise it's dependent on how long you lived throughout the trial.

    It may not be a bad idea to have the points be affected by how many gets out, though. So many people act like it's a win when they camp the hatch and then escape when it isn't. If your points get affected by people being alive, you may care if someone other than you escapes.

    I would say that it should start maxed when you enter the trial (8000 pts). When you go down, you would lose 3K of that (5000 points). These points can be added back with things such as self-healing. If you die, however, you lose those 5K points (that you would have secured normally by escaping), but again, you can still get points back by self-healing and other actions that normally reward survival.

    Agreed. Survivors don't earn enough BPs generally at all, but the survival category right now is just utter BS. You get 100 BPs in survival for doing very specific actions like mending. 100. That's laughable.
