Dead by Daylight has seen many items, add-ons, and perks added to the game. But players think none have been as useless as the infamous Broken Key. Since launch, players believe the item remained a useless husk, with some calling it “a slap in the face.”
Players expressed what they think of the Broken Key in an April 17 Reddit thread dedicated solely to discussing its uselessness. “In 2016, this was the most useless item in the game. Since then, nothing’s changed,” the original post reads. One player said finding the item in chests feels like a “slap in the face” and would “rather lose a health state and find literally anything besides that key.” For the uninitiated, the Broken Key requires add-ons to function properly, and finding it scattered around the map nets you exactly zero useful mechanics.
