The Grind - BP Perks

shenanigans shenanigans
in Feedback and Suggestions

We've been told an upcoming patch will add more perks to the bloodweb, specifically to reduce the BP grind for new players. This is good news - but - I think there's one more simple thing that really ought to be done in this direction.

It's super weird in my opinion that killers and survivors who want to earn lots of BP have to take up a perk slot to do so. At least BBQ has extra benefits, but in a way that's even weirder. There are other tracking perks but only one that earns extra BP. It's my opinion that the game would be improved if Farm Forever and just the BP effects of BBQ were built into the base kit.

I believe this has a side benefit in that BBQ and Farm Forever can have a positive influence in the way people play. BBQ incentivizes killers to avoid tunneling and chase survivors further from the hook. Farm Forever encourages your immersed P3 teammate to stop hiding from the heartbeat and unhook you before hell freezes over. Ideally the game should incentivize these behaviors all the time, not just when players run a certain perk.

As a small compensatory buff, BBQ could retain its current stacking behavior but apply a new effect, for example, show survivors in lockers beyond 56/50/44/38/32 meters based on stack count. Let's be honest though, it would still be a decent perk without the BP gains.

    They don't need to be basekit. They are fine as they are. This change would be too good for killers. Nurse, Spirit, Huntress, Billy, Freddy. These killers benefit from BBQ very well. And making it basekit would give the strongest killers a free perk slot. Imagine Billy with BBQ Ruin Spirit Fury Enduring and Bamboozle.
