• This post came up when I was searching for some information on 'charges' on things.

  What do the charges stand for on a toolbox or medical kit?

  For example, if my medical kit has 16 charges, shouldn't I be able to heal 16 times from dying to full-health (myself or someone else) and a faster speed than without a medical kit (in the case of Claudette)? Also, why can't I use it on myself in the dying state if I can crawl far enough away that the killer can't find me (and why can't Claudette)? For toolboxes, similar question, however I do understand that since the toolboxes have a significantly higher number of charges that generators should likely be assigned a number of charges to get them from dead to finished, like 24 (just an example) and sabotaging would cost less, like 8-12 charges. For both health kits and toolboxes (generators and sabotage activities), currently their time is sped up by very subjective terms like 'Moderately' and 'Significantly' rather then a firm percentage like 10/15/20%. Those terms are very subjective and if I'm going to lose that item if I don't win the trial, I need to know this information to make an informed decision about whether I want to use it and risk losing it. I personally think losing your stuff when you're killed is just adding insult to injury. Maybe the killer can have a perk or offering item that causes survisors to lose their stuff if they don't survive the trial, but right now I'm sitting on a stockpile of toolboxes and health kits I'm afraid to use because I don't want to lose them.

  And finally, when I find an item on the map, I should be able to tell how many charges are left on it, either with a tooltip or a pop-up description of the item plus add-ons (if any) and number of remaining charges so that I know how useful that item is really going to be and if trading my packed full common toolbox is better than a shiny new Engineers' Toolbox I just found.

  If this is the wrong place for these questions, please let me know and redirect me.

  Thanks in advance for your assistance with these questions!
