Make pallets worth their value

Pallets are a very scarce non renewable resource and the benefit to hitting stuns which can be easily respected and baited does not feel like they give the value they are supposed to give. With break speed being buffed awhile ago and a majority of killers having abilities to play around or even flat out destroy pallets, pallets are very easy to bypass on the killer side and have been neglected to get compensated.

    yes. We were supposed to get more pallets but killers complained and that change got reverted but they still just throw the word “pallet density” around as a buzzword when it’s a either they’re bad at playing around pallets or they’re just dealing with bad rng. Outside of main building, shack, and the map specific tiles it’s just a couple of weak filler pallets that can barley chain.

    they didnt revert it. there are absolutely more pallets per map than before.

    i genuinely have no idea if you are being serious or rage baiting because this doesnt seem like this can be a real take.

    i can get not feeling the pallets arent overpowered, its another thing to say they are still weak.

    Respectfully, I hard disagree. Pallets are already one of the strongest resources in the game – most maps have plenty, and good survivors can drag a chase forever with them.

    Killers having tools to play around pallets doesn’t mean pallets are weak, it just means there’s actual counterplay. If anything, a lot of killers still feel like they’re playing ‘break 30 pallets simulator’ every match. (M1 killers specifically, since I mostly play that.)

  • the most recent map has more than 30 pallets on it

    Tbf that's kinda their point. Because so many killers have powers that totally or mostly ignore pallets the devs handled it by just spamming pallets everywhere.

    alright it’s been a couple days so I’ll come clean.

    I saw someone who comments on a lot of discussions on the forums saying the most craziest things like “pallet density is a buzzword that isn’t real” and was curious if that type of mentality was popular on this forum so I made this bait post.

    Thankfully the comments vocally disagreed with me but the fact you guys have that amount of downvotes makes me lose hope in this place being a proper outlet for feedback.
