Please deactivate the toolboxes or killswitch THE buggy perk

well,

this is a bug that has been active for a long time and is changing the game. There are more and more survivors exploiting it.

Please disable the toolboxes or this specific (the developers know which) perk that is responsible for this.

I don't understand why it takes so long for a bug like this to be fixed. This is a real gamechanger.... and should be fixed or shut down immediately

    • Platform: PC, possibly every platform
    • Description of the issue: Switching to a toolbox while Potential Energy is active (at least 1 Token) doesnt consume the toolbox even though it speeds up the Tokengain. After a short test in some custom games, this can save up to 15 seconds (no other perks used).
    • Steps to reproduce (worked 4/4 times as of now):

    -Start working on a gen without using the toolbox
    -Activate Potential Energy and get at least 1 Token
    -Immediatly stop repairing and switch to repairing with the tool box
    -Repair until potential energy has 20 stacks (toolbox wont be consumed in the process)
    -put in all 20 stacks
    -immediatly switch back to repairing without the toolbox
    -repeat

    By using an Engineer's Toolbox with Socket Swivels and Clean Rag, you can get a gen done in roughly 66 seconds (not using other perks and being solo). Using the toolbox normally would require roughly 80 seconds to repair a gen.
    • How often does this occur: Everytime you make use of it
