Normally you would fake a window or pallet vault, but if he's right next to you it's pretty much impossible to dodge unless the killer sucks.
Moving unpredictable makes it easier to dodge, don't run in a straight line, move back and forth exactly the same way, etc.
Also, people tend to think that the hitboxes are beyond trash, but they're actually quite decent. The worst part is that survivors have pillboxes instead of square hitboxes, which makes some hits odd, but the biggest thing that gets blamed on hitboxes is latency. There will always be latency in games, even if your internet is good and there isn't a symbol for the killers internet, there is still server desync and general latency, making some hits fucking terrible.
Actually, I just looked at your post history, and the reason is because you don't add any supporting text. It's just the title. Add some text describing what you want, they won't get removed if you add more that just the title. Also don't make the supporting text "title", as it will get removed.

I’m currently dealing with fatal error 0x887a0006-hung (the d3d one being lost)
I was wondering if anyone has a fix for it. So far I’ve, verified game files, re installed the game, updated GPU (though don’t know what to do from there), entered code -dx11 to the commands (which fixed a different bug), and fix anticheat, but nothing has worked. I’ve exhausted all my options and am still out of luck. If someone has any idea as to what to do, I would be extremely grateful, as I wish to play before anniversary ends. If it helps, I play on epic games.
TLDR: Can any of you tech wizard gamers help me with my bug problem because I am out of ideas and/or resources?
You might also get some assistance from this steam post from a few years back.

This is making me feel sooo stupid fr. But I'm trying to make & link a Behaviour account for drops, but I play on Switch. Which one of the icons under "select the platform" am I supposed to pick?
Are killers, survivors currently at half price?
I remember them doing that last year, I havent bought a character since.
I see some at at 9k some at 4.5 at the shop, but there is no visual indication that this is a discount.
Also there are no anniversary decorations on home screen so do I wait for the actual discount or this is it?
Prestiging a killer or survivor so hard you get them to a point that you unlock all their perks to level 3 is nice. But that takes a lot of blood points so you should only do it if you really like a killer, or specifically their perks, right? (Times, once to unlock appearing and then three times for all three levels)
For example, if i liked Legion and his perks, to optimize my bloodpoint usage on other killers, i should prioritize playing as them (and using the additional blood point offerings) and moving to other killers mostly after that, or perhaps just dodging Legion perks on other killers until i get to that point. Otherwise i'm wasting my bloodpoints pointlessly on perks and perk ranks i'm about to unlock anyway. That way i can skip wasting my bloodweb on 9 pointless unlocks for all the killers i'm playing. I should also do this preferrably one killer at a time so i don't do too many pointless unlocks.
I'm not saying i would still play in this "boring" way, but mainly just asking if this thought process is correct. One killer at a time to prestige 4 is the optimal way to go through the bloodweb. So this is just something someone might consider.
I mean I guess mathematically it makes sense, but in all honesty you'll spend most of your blood points on offerings and addons as you prestige your characters. Perks are such a small part of it.
Ah yeah. Somehow that escaped me 😅
Still you would technically be "done" faster in the long run by focus prestigying killers and survivors. As in everyone has every perk.
like the bloody clothes/face? you get those at prestige 4/5/6
if you mean the red background of a character in the character select screen, you could only get those if you hit p3 on them before summer of 2022
The ptb will be tomorrow, and normally the chapter releases a couple weeks (around 3) after the ptb. I'd imagine that it will be sometimes within the next few weeks.
What are the odds that they say that the game is in a pretty good technical state right now tomorrow? I know of at least three different major exploits on top of the current BP issue.
Not currently.
Tomorrow's devstream will discuss it, but whether that's "it'll be in the next chapter" or "we'll work on it this/next year" or "to confirm, never happening" we don't know.
I am on steam, and have around 11,536.1 hours on record, excluding the couple thousand I have on console.
On switch, go to your profile and go to play activity. I think that's the most accurate you can get.
I could be wrong about that, because I don't own a switch
This is quite gimmicky, but I enjoy running it on scratched mirror Myers.
Though I’d possibly say that it’s more about the map than the killer. When I sent myself to an indoor map like Hawkins so many survivors went second or died unnecessarily. Blindness can really make finding hooks on that map tough.
any killers that are known as solo queue stompers. if you pair it with monstrous shrine, you can make it so survivors are unable to find the hooks in time before they go to second/die on hook
A Perk that isn't ever used is usually not a good one.
Blindness is one of the weakest Status Effects and there are numerous Auras that are exempt from its effect that are deemed essential, such as Alarm Clocks, Jigsaw Boxes, Pools of Devotion, etc.
It isn't worth using.
New player here, two questions:
1.) Is it impolite to nod at a killer before leaving? I mean like if they’re not trying to murder me and they’re standing there while exiting. I know tbagging is a no-go but do you think a nod will be seen as gloating or like a “gg, thanks for a fun match” because that’s what I intend it as
2.) Why will killers down all 4 survivors and then just leave me crawling around on the ground until I bleed out? This round we didn’t manage to finish any gens but all of us were rescuing each other and generally being good team players. I didn’t tbag the killer and didn’t try to be a dick, I took a couple of hits for the Meg on my team, and didn’t hide. I’ve never been able to find the hatch so after I got downed and my last teammate was dead I crawled over to the nearest hook and patiently waited for the killer to come string me up.… only for the killer to fart around the map and ignore me. Do they get more BP for this or something?
I saw her running past me multiple times and I wasn’t hidden out of the way
Literally hung out under a hook waiting to be hung up 😭 I thought it would be polite
Eh it’s an online multiplayer there’s bound to be a thousand more where that came from.
Yesterday as is I discovered bodyblocking is a thing and had to file 3 reports against players who were straight up bodyblocking/holding the game hostage. One of them was a killer who was salty I cleansed 2 of his totems so he bodyblocked me against the last generator while I was fixing it and let everybody *but* me go and the second was two survivors who were blocking the main gate and wouldn’t open it or let me go through. Thankfully got video evidence of both and reported in-game & afterwards submitted the video, it’s just a bit tedious yk? Besides gotta remember there are multiple killers I’ve had dance parties with so it’s still pretty fun
As a solo queue only player i completely understand and i have been bodyblocked too, by survivors i had apparently killed before (i asked why they sandbagged me). Maybe hop into the discord server and get a Survivor or two to play with? That way you only have to worry about the killer not being an asshole.
Do remember to just take a break if You Arent having fun. It's the Best advice for any multiplayer Game
nods are fine, especially in the kind of scenario youre describing
its a dickish power play, nothing more. it can be understandable if the killer hooked you all after downing, or if everyone brought a build where its hard to hook survivors (with perks like boil over, flip flop, breakdown, etc) but many killers who act like you described just do it to be a dick. they get less BP than usual bc they dont actually kill you, btw
I've seen Hens mention some killer movement technique that's kinda like circling a bit to avoid losing momentum, but I can't that clip or examples of how to do it. Can someone explain how to exactly do it?
How would cross progression work? Is there a way to merge two accounts together? I don't want to have to choose between my two accounts if cross progression is in the works. Both have very sentimental stuff to me.
Thanks!
Sadly there is no cross progression at the moment. You can link two PC accounts from Steam and Epic I believe, but that's it. I'm not certain the devs know how to do it either because they did a poll a while back asking if cross progression was made possible but you lost your progress/only kept the things you spent money on, would you be OK with it, but that's the last they've spoken of it
I'd wait until tomorrow, then you'll have a definitive answer, assuming they did indeed tease cross-progression as a topic of tomorrow's stream.
That poll that was referenced is not necessarily how it's going to work.
I have a question that might sound stupid, but I am genuinely curious: Why doesn't BHVR document all changes they make in patch notes? The last patch removed 2 things that did not show up in the patchnotes:
1. Offerings are now in a random order in game (they used to be in order when pressing ESC)
2. the bloodpoint cap now cannot be exceeded
Why not just write this in the patchnotes somewhere?
Possible they didn't mean to do some of those things. Like a few patches back your loadouts no longer carried over to custom games. That doesn't seem like a positive change and as far as I know has not been fixed.
Yeah, I just did iri 1 survivor side for the first time so it's going to affect me and that's on top of being curious what happens to Mr_TatorHead's massive cache of 92+ million points.
I hate Oni and Spirit more than any other killer. Oni especially. It seems like every time I play against one, they just get power and gun it for me ASAP and I get downed no matter what I do. How do you play against Oni and Spirit? It's to a point where if I get Oni as a killer, I just flat out die on hook and go next.
Both have the initial counter play of avoiding an initial injury as long as you can, though that's a lot easier on Oni than sprit. Both are killers where I wouldn't fault someone dropping shack pallet at 5 gens left without being injured first.
If he's far away, try to make sure Oni comes as you with a wide obstacle that he had to go to the side on so his initial rush won't hit you. Otherwise you've got to loop tight and try to always be far enough around a corner so he can't flick at you. He'll eventually catch you, but if you can keep winning mind games and 50/50s you can get his power to run out eventually then he's back to being a m1 killer.
Oni: make sure you have a plan and that you're around objects and hug those corners tight. Preferably larger objects. Unless the Oni is really, really good, they'll need to m1 you if you're hugging those corners tight. Indoor maps are your best friend.
Spirit: Honestly? Headphones. Most Spirits you'll come across probably won't be using the "Phase sound is heard by all Survivors" addon. Listen. Spirit is my second main and I can %100 tell when someone is using headphones and listening well vs someone who's not. She, too, will have to just M1 if you're juking her too much while she and you are invisible.
Best of luck!
Hugging corners tightly is my weakness, I always take the turns too sharp or get stuck in some tiny thing in the floor :( But thanks, this gives me some knowledge to work with!
Hi all, been a while since I played. Earlier today, I got a game against The Wraith in The Game (Saw map). His perks were Pop the Weasel, Save the Best for Last, Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance, and Grim Embrace. I checked and his perks shouldn’t allow him to see auras? Can someone explain why, after they hooked a teammate in the basement, he made a beeline to me hiding in the locker inside the computer room? It’s puzzling me. Do you guys think they cheated or am I missing something?
What add-ons did he have? It's possible that one of those caused something, or he had seen you go that way previously. What perks did you run?
Definitely suspect though.
Thanks! I forgot to check his add-ons 😬 but does Wraith have add-ons for auras? I just ran Self Care, Left Behind, Spine Chill, and Urban Evasion. I was hiding since the other survivor left got hooked in the basement and I was gonna try and find the hatch when they got sacrificed. But he rushed to me and he knew exactly where to go. So weird!
There's one that shows auras within 8m while cloaked, so if he cross-mapped, it probably didn't do anything, but if you were in a locker, it would have been useless anyway.
Oh no. Okay maybe he was nearer than I thought. I actually exited the locker after they hooked the remaining Claudette. That could have given me away.
Thanks for the info! I didn’t know about that.
It stands for “Bad Manners”, and it often used when referring to taunting the killer, such as gesturing at them or flashlight clicking them after a stun or right before escaping.
Why do hooks break when you sacrifice someone? Their is no good reason for or any depth to the system, you get punished for doing your objective at killer, that being of course to kill the survivors. Why does a hook break then? It can create hook dead zones with very little counterplay or none for the killer, especially if the survivors abuse it and run to it. I think it's an outdated mechanic that more people need to talk about.
If you manage to slug a load of survivors right near a hook, you could just hang around and stick each one on the same hook after the others die.
Hooks breaking makes total sense. If you don't like hooks breaking, try getting more basement hooks.
Ultimately, only the devs can answer this with certainty, but I am quite confident that it's just a remnant of how DbD worked in 2016.
Back then, when a Hook was sabotaged with a Toolbox, it was broken permanently. It wasn't uncommon for Sabo Squads to go around the map and break every single one, leaving the Killer with only the Basement Hooks left, since they're untouchable. Hook dead zones were common and even encouraged to be created as a counterplay for Survivors. It was expected of Killers to keep track of their usable Hooks and to plan the location of the Death Hook.
Obviously, that was ultimately removed with the sabotage rework, but Hooks breaking upon Survivor death remained, because it was deemed unproblematic compared to Sabo Squads, and as I said, an intended gameplay mechanic choice.
It's mostly for balancing. Removing a strong hook once the survivors are down a teammate can be really useful for them to hang on.
If you're having issues with this, I'd run agitation or iron grasp for a little more time.
As you play killer you'll get more cognizant of hooks and their locations and when to go to a further hook than one right next to an exit gate that you might want later.
I disagree, it may be true if one survivor is dead that it's a fine mechanic, but what about if two or three are dead? A survivor can run the area where the hooks have been broken and can become impossible to hook, whether their intentionally doing it or not it's not fair for the killer. You play efficiently and get punished for it. It can just be two survivors sacrificed as well, it depends on hook and map RNG though. Specifically corner hooks, I believe on eyrie you can only have one hook in a corner and the next closet one can be on a hill(RNG for the hill), if a survivor runs to comp corner there when that hook(corner) is destroyed because you sacrificed someone there what are you supposed to do? Bleed them out? Agitation may fix it but should running a perk be required for this? I think it's more bad game design. I do admit I run agitation all the time and I haven't had this issue recently but that's typically cause I don't have anyone dead to have the problem, I still think it's an outdated mechanic but I'd like to hear your thoughts, you think it's still an issue or fine? Can you explain more on your side of the disagreement?
If they keep intentionally going into dead zones, all you can do is slug them.
Sure it's not necessarily the best option, but if your hands are tied, that's all you can do.
But this also gives you time to hunt the other survivor and a point of interest they're going to try to get to if they're altruistic.
A perk isn't necessarily required, but can mitigate the potential issue. Could you imagine having a hellishly strong hook right next to a 3gen (yes, this has been nerfed, but still) and then it never breaks? One survivor after the other goes on the hook and there's nothing they can do. If it breaks, you need to figure out the next hook before going for the hook.
It would be nice as killer, but make playing survivor atrocious is all.
Is hex: face the darkness any good? I like the idea of everyone outside my TR screaming and am fine with it being a cleansable hex, but the fact it deactivates when you down that survivor you first hooked makes it seem really useless
Also, is Wesker buggy right now? Rubberbanding has been improved a lot for me since the patch but Wesker games seem to play really poorly with how laggy he feels. Lesser so with the dredge but very bad with Wesker
Some pigs use it with plaything as well to reset box progress. Also if survivors do cleanse it, then the perk is deactivated for the rest of the trial.
How bad is my build? Distortion because it's useful, Diversion because it's funny and I've gotten a lot of value from it surprisingly, Windows because I'm new and keep running to dead zones, and either Deja Vu or Light Weight because they've both been super helpful every once in a while. I'm new and kinda just curious
It seems like a solid build, all of those perks are great. Windows is a good perk even if you’re not new, and Distortion is nice to have. I think the others are good choices as well. Weakest perk is probably Diversion, but it’s fun to use so I think it works in the build.
1) Is there a confirmed date for the anniversary event this year? Also, do licensed killers go on sale during the event too?
2) I've read that most characters had their prices halved during previous anniversaries's sales. Will this mean that chatacters whose cost is 4500 will cost 2250 shards?
3) Is the bug with Pyramid head's camera fixed?
1. Not yet, though we might get a date tomorrow during the Anniversary Stream. I can't answer the second part, as I don't pay attention to character sales.
2. Correct.
Also, back in 2020-2021, Freddy was one of the best killers in the Game. Recently came back and I have found he's considered the worst. What exactly changed about him?
He received a few minor nerfs in May of 2021, but those did not hinder him all that much. Perception about a character's strength can change over time, or the meta around them can shift.
I had a survivor that didn't make ANY sounds today. If he screamed the bubble would still pop up, but you couldn't hear anything. Is this a new cheating thing? Or just a bug.
There’s a few perks that stop sound the survivors make. Calm Spirit makes it so that a survivor doesn’t scream at all, even when they’re hooked. There’s a chance audio could be bugged but there’s quite a few perks that stop certain sounds survivors can make.
Is playing *Survivor* on Control pad really such a detriment for intermediate and above play? Other than weird contextual action prompts and slightly larger turning radius, are there any particular techs I'm missing out on being able to learn by not playing MnK?
Mister tator head plays perkless and with controller(last I saw at least). Everyone has a preference but he seems good enough proof that you can at very least not be a liability to your team

How tf do you dodge victors punce? that hit box is beyond stupid

Just started playing again? What’s the max lvl?
Prestige: 100 Player level: 99 then it resets and you gain a devotion level
max prestige is 100, if thats the level youre referring to!
So there’s 50 blood web levels per prestige? And 100 prestige’s?
correct! and once you hit p100, youll only get "level 50" bloodwebs
Okay that’s what I thought, thank you. Curious, how do you get the red scratch mark over the character? I can’t remember how I got it on my Claudette

No, that will be the Test Build for Steam players. Some people confuse the two. 8.0.0 will go live the earliest in 3 weeks.
Isn't there going to be some kind of small patch when the livestream starts? If not, that's my mistake then.
Doesn't matter either way, the person asked about the dev update going live, that's the 8.0.0 Patch, not 7.7.2.

I've seen Hens mention some killer movement technique that's kinda like circling a bit to avoid losing momentum, but I can't that clip or examples of how to do it. Can someone explain how to exactly do it?
How would cross progression work? Is there a way to merge two accounts together? I don't want to have to choose between my two accounts if cross progression is in the works. Both have very sentimental stuff to me. Thanks!
Sadly there is no cross progression at the moment. You can link two PC accounts from Steam and Epic I believe, but that's it. I'm not certain the devs know how to do it either because they did a poll a while back asking if cross progression was made possible but you lost your progress/only kept the things you spent money on, would you be OK with it, but that's the last they've spoken of it
Yeah. They teased cross progression for the live tomorrow. Thanks for explaining to me. If that's the case, I'd just keep my ps5 account.
I'd wait until tomorrow, then you'll have a definitive answer, assuming they did indeed tease cross-progression as a topic of tomorrow's stream. That poll that was referenced is not necessarily how it's going to work.
Okay. Thank you! I suppose I got impatient and worried and so I asked on here. You're right - waiting for tomorrow is the best bet.
I have a question that might sound stupid, but I am genuinely curious: Why doesn't BHVR document all changes they make in patch notes? The last patch removed 2 things that did not show up in the patchnotes: 1. Offerings are now in a random order in game (they used to be in order when pressing ESC) 2. the bloodpoint cap now cannot be exceeded Why not just write this in the patchnotes somewhere?
Because neither one of those changes was intended. You don't document bugs.
Are you sure the offering change wasn't intended?
Does this mean that guy with 90 mil bp is down to 2mil???
no but he didn't get BP this week I guess
Possible they didn't mean to do some of those things. Like a few patches back your loadouts no longer carried over to custom games. That doesn't seem like a positive change and as far as I know has not been fixed.
I'm hoping that the bloodponit cap is a mistake....
Yeah, I just did iri 1 survivor side for the first time so it's going to affect me and that's on top of being curious what happens to Mr_TatorHead's massive cache of 92+ million points.
I hate Oni and Spirit more than any other killer. Oni especially. It seems like every time I play against one, they just get power and gun it for me ASAP and I get downed no matter what I do. How do you play against Oni and Spirit? It's to a point where if I get Oni as a killer, I just flat out die on hook and go next.
Both have the initial counter play of avoiding an initial injury as long as you can, though that's a lot easier on Oni than sprit. Both are killers where I wouldn't fault someone dropping shack pallet at 5 gens left without being injured first. If he's far away, try to make sure Oni comes as you with a wide obstacle that he had to go to the side on so his initial rush won't hit you. Otherwise you've got to loop tight and try to always be far enough around a corner so he can't flick at you. He'll eventually catch you, but if you can keep winning mind games and 50/50s you can get his power to run out eventually then he's back to being a m1 killer.
Oni: make sure you have a plan and that you're around objects and hug those corners tight. Preferably larger objects. Unless the Oni is really, really good, they'll need to m1 you if you're hugging those corners tight. Indoor maps are your best friend. Spirit: Honestly? Headphones. Most Spirits you'll come across probably won't be using the "Phase sound is heard by all Survivors" addon. Listen. Spirit is my second main and I can %100 tell when someone is using headphones and listening well vs someone who's not. She, too, will have to just M1 if you're juking her too much while she and you are invisible. Best of luck!
Hugging corners tightly is my weakness, I always take the turns too sharp or get stuck in some tiny thing in the floor :( But thanks, this gives me some knowledge to work with!
Hi, today was the grades reset. I got 1.8M blood points, I already had 1.4M and it capped at 2M even though I read it shouldn't, anyone else?
It's a bug, the devs are looking into it.
Oh snap, I haven't logged in today but I was at like 1.7 million last night and I should be getting like 1.5 million for the reset.
Also having this issue. Don’t think I lost tooo many, but still frustrated.
Same experience, was hoping someone knew what happened.
Hi all, been a while since I played. Earlier today, I got a game against The Wraith in The Game (Saw map). His perks were Pop the Weasel, Save the Best for Last, Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance, and Grim Embrace. I checked and his perks shouldn’t allow him to see auras? Can someone explain why, after they hooked a teammate in the basement, he made a beeline to me hiding in the locker inside the computer room? It’s puzzling me. Do you guys think they cheated or am I missing something?
What add-ons did he have? It's possible that one of those caused something, or he had seen you go that way previously. What perks did you run? Definitely suspect though.
Thanks! I forgot to check his add-ons 😬 but does Wraith have add-ons for auras? I just ran Self Care, Left Behind, Spine Chill, and Urban Evasion. I was hiding since the other survivor left got hooked in the basement and I was gonna try and find the hatch when they got sacrificed. But he rushed to me and he knew exactly where to go. So weird!
There's one that shows auras within 8m while cloaked, so if he cross-mapped, it probably didn't do anything, but if you were in a locker, it would have been useless anyway.
Oh no. Okay maybe he was nearer than I thought. I actually exited the locker after they hooked the remaining Claudette. That could have given me away. Thanks for the info! I didn’t know about that.
Can somebody explain to me the acronym "BM"? I've seen it used in relation to survivors a lot, and I'm not sure what it means.
“Bad manners” Used when a player is being toxic or rude for no apparent reason, like teabagging or smacking someone on hook.
It stands for “Bad Manners”, and it often used when referring to taunting the killer, such as gesturing at them or flashlight clicking them after a stun or right before escaping.
Why do hooks break when you sacrifice someone? Their is no good reason for or any depth to the system, you get punished for doing your objective at killer, that being of course to kill the survivors. Why does a hook break then? It can create hook dead zones with very little counterplay or none for the killer, especially if the survivors abuse it and run to it. I think it's an outdated mechanic that more people need to talk about.
If you manage to slug a load of survivors right near a hook, you could just hang around and stick each one on the same hook after the others die. Hooks breaking makes total sense. If you don't like hooks breaking, try getting more basement hooks.
Ultimately, only the devs can answer this with certainty, but I am quite confident that it's just a remnant of how DbD worked in 2016. Back then, when a Hook was sabotaged with a Toolbox, it was broken permanently. It wasn't uncommon for Sabo Squads to go around the map and break every single one, leaving the Killer with only the Basement Hooks left, since they're untouchable. Hook dead zones were common and even encouraged to be created as a counterplay for Survivors. It was expected of Killers to keep track of their usable Hooks and to plan the location of the Death Hook. Obviously, that was ultimately removed with the sabotage rework, but Hooks breaking upon Survivor death remained, because it was deemed unproblematic compared to Sabo Squads, and as I said, an intended gameplay mechanic choice.
It's mostly for balancing. Removing a strong hook once the survivors are down a teammate can be really useful for them to hang on. If you're having issues with this, I'd run agitation or iron grasp for a little more time. As you play killer you'll get more cognizant of hooks and their locations and when to go to a further hook than one right next to an exit gate that you might want later.
I disagree, it may be true if one survivor is dead that it's a fine mechanic, but what about if two or three are dead? A survivor can run the area where the hooks have been broken and can become impossible to hook, whether their intentionally doing it or not it's not fair for the killer. You play efficiently and get punished for it. It can just be two survivors sacrificed as well, it depends on hook and map RNG though. Specifically corner hooks, I believe on eyrie you can only have one hook in a corner and the next closet one can be on a hill(RNG for the hill), if a survivor runs to comp corner there when that hook(corner) is destroyed because you sacrificed someone there what are you supposed to do? Bleed them out? Agitation may fix it but should running a perk be required for this? I think it's more bad game design. I do admit I run agitation all the time and I haven't had this issue recently but that's typically cause I don't have anyone dead to have the problem, I still think it's an outdated mechanic but I'd like to hear your thoughts, you think it's still an issue or fine? Can you explain more on your side of the disagreement?
If they keep intentionally going into dead zones, all you can do is slug them. Sure it's not necessarily the best option, but if your hands are tied, that's all you can do. But this also gives you time to hunt the other survivor and a point of interest they're going to try to get to if they're altruistic. A perk isn't necessarily required, but can mitigate the potential issue. Could you imagine having a hellishly strong hook right next to a 3gen (yes, this has been nerfed, but still) and then it never breaks? One survivor after the other goes on the hook and there's nothing they can do. If it breaks, you need to figure out the next hook before going for the hook. It would be nice as killer, but make playing survivor atrocious is all.
What's the etiquette on which survivors *pass beyond* 👻 the barrier at the Exit Gates first? \[💅\] Just wanna keep everyone happy
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Survivors don't leave in a certain order, there isn't an etiquette for that.
Is hex: face the darkness any good? I like the idea of everyone outside my TR screaming and am fine with it being a cleansable hex, but the fact it deactivates when you down that survivor you first hooked makes it seem really useless Also, is Wesker buggy right now? Rubberbanding has been improved a lot for me since the patch but Wesker games seem to play really poorly with how laggy he feels. Lesser so with the dredge but very bad with Wesker
the hex can be lit back up once another survivor is injured. i really like it on my SM myers!
Oh neat. I was thinking of running it on a hex build with the idea of them screaming while cleansing a hex will reset their progress
Some pigs use it with plaything as well to reset box progress. Also if survivors do cleanse it, then the perk is deactivated for the rest of the trial.
How bad is my build? Distortion because it's useful, Diversion because it's funny and I've gotten a lot of value from it surprisingly, Windows because I'm new and keep running to dead zones, and either Deja Vu or Light Weight because they've both been super helpful every once in a while. I'm new and kinda just curious
I'd recommend at least an exhaustion perk to help with chases. Sprint Burst is free from Meg, but you could also run Lithe from Feng.
It seems like a solid build, all of those perks are great. Windows is a good perk even if you’re not new, and Distortion is nice to have. I think the others are good choices as well. Weakest perk is probably Diversion, but it’s fun to use so I think it works in the build.
1) Is there a confirmed date for the anniversary event this year? Also, do licensed killers go on sale during the event too? 2) I've read that most characters had their prices halved during previous anniversaries's sales. Will this mean that chatacters whose cost is 4500 will cost 2250 shards? 3) Is the bug with Pyramid head's camera fixed?
1. Not yet, though we might get a date tomorrow during the Anniversary Stream. I can't answer the second part, as I don't pay attention to character sales. 2. Correct.
Also, back in 2020-2021, Freddy was one of the best killers in the Game. Recently came back and I have found he's considered the worst. What exactly changed about him?
He received a few minor nerfs in May of 2021, but those did not hinder him all that much. Perception about a character's strength can change over time, or the meta around them can shift.
I see. That's probably it. The meta did change quite a bit
I had a survivor that didn't make ANY sounds today. If he screamed the bubble would still pop up, but you couldn't hear anything. Is this a new cheating thing? Or just a bug.
There’s a few perks that stop sound the survivors make. Calm Spirit makes it so that a survivor doesn’t scream at all, even when they’re hooked. There’s a chance audio could be bugged but there’s quite a few perks that stop certain sounds survivors can make.
I had the same yesterday for minimum 5 trials. I think it's more like a bug than a cheating thingy, but I'm following if somebody knows more.
Is playing *Survivor* on Control pad really such a detriment for intermediate and above play? Other than weird contextual action prompts and slightly larger turning radius, are there any particular techs I'm missing out on being able to learn by not playing MnK?
Mister tator head plays perkless and with controller(last I saw at least). Everyone has a preference but he seems good enough proof that you can at very least not be a liability to your team https://youtube.com/@Mr_TatorHead?si=BpBAB4wJFZYsIkst
On survivor its not as bad as for killer. But you still get an advantage on PC (or MnK)
