Rick Grime's Apocalyptic Ingenuity
Chest‑based survivor perks are basically dead on arrival, rare survivor will sacrifice 25% of their build for a chest related perk. Moreover if choosing between this category, there are way more useful ones.
Current perk desc states: After unlocking or rummaging through 2 chests, press Ability Button 1 for 8 seconds next to a broken pallet to build a fragile pallet.
What if we change it to?: After collecting a debris of 4/3/2 broken pallets, press Ability Button 1 for 8 seconds next to a broken pallet to build a fragile pallet.
And make the debris disappear after consumed of course, i.e. 1 time use.
WDYT?

I don't mind the chest activation THAT much, but it's still kind of eh because you only get 3 basekit.
But, that is a thing that should be changed, especially with the focus on chests in new perks.
Solution: Give us more chests (at least 4 or 5).
Yup… Not only that, if multiple survivors are running the perk (or even other similar perks) there are just not enough chests to go around so some will never get to activate their perks.
It‘s a Party pallet. They are terrible
still a free pallet. it undoes a dead zone
It does nothing If you are competent
I feel like the time commitment isn't that bad, it's just there aren't enough chests.
it still wastes more time and can be the difference between a gen popping
shiny coins add 2 chests
If typical map has 12-25 pallets, let's max it out and consider it's 25. Meaning 25/2 = 12 fragile pallets can be built in the ideal match, where killer broke ALL pallets. 12 * 8 = 96 seconds, which is more than repairing a generator. Also considering the time needed to locate the broken pallets, to collect them and to run back and forth to a location for a fragile pallet to be assembled. You can double the time, if not triple, and time is the most valuable currency in DBD.
So:
- There is no such thing as FREE pallets
- I'm trying to propose an idea to make this perk a tiny little bit more useful
I know that.
It would just be nice to not have to bring it make all these chest perks viable.
i'd rather survivors have to sacrifice coins because adding more pallets is really strong and they'll buff the perk because of low usage
I think this perks usability would be fine if party pallets lasted a short while before breaking, like maybe 2 or so seconds upon falling down.
As it stands it completley defeats the point of a pallet if it doest create space between you and the killer, enduring makes this perk worthless.
