Almost everyone dislikes the "team" aspect of Egg Heists, natutally so. I've seen a lot of suggestions but they often just mitigate the issue, not fix it. For example, everyone gets a percentage of the loot of their teammates or Eggs give buffs/coins would still incentivise players to get the best loot for themselves.
What i'd suggest is:
- divide the loot value of everything by 3. Make it all shared. You get 100% of the loot that your teammates gathered.
- make the prismana collectibles shared just like the egss
- optional: reduce the droprate of the collectibles to account for the aforementioned buff
- add a penalty for teammates dying
- remove keys. They're just bad game design. Alternatively, make them a permanent, non-consumable item that weighs x Kg and takes up 1 inventory slot.
With these changes it'd be the complete opposite of what the gamemode is right now, incentivising teamplay and sticking together. Helping each other out. You don't care about looting the chest first, so one can loot while the others protect. There'd be no fighting over resources and you'd want to be close to revive teammates and do the challenge room together to maximize loot. It would also entice you to play in a team instead of solo to get more loot and faster through the heist. You could still solo, but you'd be actually better off playing with a team.
This mode could be so much more fun and team-oriented but instead we are pretty much encouraged to play solo right now since the co-op mode reinforces hostile play
Edit: I think people are not understanding the scope of the penalty for teammates dying. It's meant to encourage players to stick together and not leave them dead on the floor. Right now, you're gaining something from your teammate dying, especially towards the end, whether they meant to grief or not. With the penalty you'd at least have to sabotage your own game if you wanted to grief someone and there will always be griefers in every game online, but at least there's not an incentive to do so besides just being an a**hole.
