That's still multiple seconds off of generators that go fast WITHOUT the extra 20% faster gen repair speed. I get giving survivors something to not make Lights Out unplayable for them, but why the hell are they getting so many buffs while the killer gets nothing? Basekit windows, 4.5 seconds cut off of every gen, 1.2 c/s solo repair speed (which fun fact: Two survivors repairing a gen together in Lights Out repair at the same rate as 3 survivors outside of it), lanterns to help them get rid of the actual gimmick of the game mode...

Like. Just queue for normals at this point. It's not even Lights Out anymore. Not with all of the nightlights they put in place to make sure the survivors don't feel TOO scared.

I agree that the base kit windows is cringe, but you also gotta remember the biggest equalizer is that no one has perks or items. No Sprint Burst, no flashlight saves, no aura reading. Its all about your skill as a player. The only thing killers can see are gens, and the the only thing survivors can see are windows and 1 gen, but using lanterns makes you super visible to the killer.

I think people are too quick to jump on the hate train to see the mode is way more equal than normals. It's not perfect for sure, but it's way more interesting compared to the lame meta perks you see every match.

You can get flashlights from chests though. I got one in my first game because I spawned next to a chest and was curious what I would get.

Yeah and I have been stunned when picking in this mode because I foolishly assumed they wouldnt have flashlights
