Endgame Collapse: Killer opening the door?

[Lady Gaga]

Can someone explain to me why would the killer open the door in the middle of the game? And also explain how does the hatch works. I didn't quite understood those parts :S. (The Endgame Collapse looks SO DAMN GOOD AND EXCITING!!).

Who said you can open it in the middle of the game? Right, no one.

Killer can open the gates just like survivors - after 5 gens. He can open them to force end-game phase, either to his advantage or just to force survivors to leave so they can't screw around for too long.

Hatch works the same way, except that it'll always spawn for the last survivor no matter how many gens were done, and if the killer closes the hatch - end-game phase starts.

to end a match, if it take too long for killer.

Thats what hes asking. In what scenario would opening the gate EVER benefit a killer? Even if there is only one left, and hes injured state, you are still opening the door wiiiiiide open to say "hey run on through!" Im with the OP i just dont understand how this could EVER work in the killers favor.

if a survivor is holding the game hostage the killer now has a way to prevent BM and to stop holding the game hostage so now the killer can force the game to end manually

this feature will not be used 99% of the time but on that rare 1 occurence where a salty survivor is holding the game hostage the killer can now stop that "and bm" so its a good feature to have even if its not gonna be used "Or at the very least that will become a new meme with the friendly killer literally openning the gate for the survivors" either way win win

If there's only 1 survivor left - he has no reason to open the gates, because he can close the hatch to trigger end-game phase. But in a situation when there 3-4 survivors alive and they did all gens - I already explained why, so read my post again carefully.

Blood Warden + NOED
Pig with a survivor trapped

Those are the scenarios i can think of where it'd be useful.

Its also usefull for toxic survivors. If they've done all the gens but are still screwing around and not wanting to leave. Basicly its a solution to hatch standoff and taking the game hostage.

The hatch update is for the hatch standoffs where the killers couldn't do anything.
Killers can't open the door in the middle of the game (atleast i hope that)
I think the killers can use this as a bait.

Probably bloodwarden too, open door, grab downed survivor, hook, survivor trap.

Its to stop the hatch standoff and survivors holding the game hostage.

Everything else "collapse related" is literally just a visual effects thing the devs worked on to add depth to the game so their ideas would work.
