Chests are OP. I get killed more by chests then any other enemy.

Well, technically not by the chest, but as a result of the chest. Chest enemy support OP.

Why? Takes too long to open. Maybe we could open it by remote with our patented Inquisitorialᵗᵐ remote control auspexᵗᵐ? Look at it, click ‘use’ and it just opens? And it opens like the lid is held on by explosive bolts? AKA FAST FAST FAST? As in 10% tops of the frames now used ?

And maybe it could be designed so the ‘walls’ are low when it opens so everyone can see what’s in it and the walls don’t get in the way of the tagging? Higher difficulty means we don’t have the time to just stand there looking.

And last, could we have the ability to actually tag the chests themselves so people know we’re going to them?

TLDR Chests OP. Devs plz nerf chests.

Not sure what your problem is.

How exactly do you interact with chests?
Do you just walk over mid fight, open them and calmly look at their content, without paying attention to your surroundings?

When you open a chest, loot ammo, or interact with anything else, you better make sure that you are not gonna get hit in the back, while you do it.
Opening a chest is an instant action, so you do not even need to hold down a button or something, while you are unable to move or block.
You can keep running, dodging and fighting (or hold block), when you open and loot a box.

I have been killed by enemies that hit me, when i did not pay attention, but there has never been a case where i would have blamed a “slow“ opening box for it. Just hold block when opening a box. Quickly turn around and push the enemies, if necessary.

If anything, boxes are life savers. I have survived many times because i climbed on an opened box and thereby evaded the burning floor (not sure if that still works, but it did in the past).

You can put regular waypoints on them. Chests do not move, so a regular, stationary waypoint should be fine.

Pure irritation at the slowness of the task adding up over time. And at all the other people who are even sicker of it then I am who just walk past.

A way point isn’t a tag. It doesn’t decribe what it is for like a tag does.

Greed is good! Sure it may hurt or even kill me sometimes, but WORTH :smiley:

If anything, chests should be buffed to provide more of a dopamine hit when opening. Sound effects, visual cacophony, etc. Vampire Survivor that shiz!

VT2’s chests let you instantly loot them once you open them. How about that.

Very true. Darktide’s chests suck.

You run all the way to them, wait forever and ever for the opening animation to finish, which incidentally is a tiny bit less then it takes to look around for a cheat spawn… so you just stand there looking and a poxer teleports in and cracks you.

You can’t open and keep moving, you have to STOP… wait… look… decide… get hit… then loot and move.

Things are just plain irritating.
