When all survivors are crawling

Hi! super qq- when all survivors are hurt and are crawling, is there a way for them still to win or did they basically lose?

    Survivors can use Unbreakable, No Mither or Soul Guard to get up. If this is not the case, the last survivor can still escape through the hatch. Other than that, you basically lose.

    I just wanted to add one last option: you can all crawl out through the exit gate, if you all get downed in the exit area. It can actually happen with Bubba (and to a lesser extent with a slugging Billy), and makes for one cool outro cinematic.

    A few more options, actually -

    • If the killer picks one up, they could use Decisive Strike to get free.
    • Especially if all of the survivors are downed right next to each other, the killer also might not be able to find a hook for everyone. If they're not smart, they might pick someone up without realizing all nearby hooks are occupied or broken and you might wiggle free.
    • If the killer hooks a survivor and it's their first time on the hook they can try to pull themselves off the hook. Perks like Slippery Meat and Up the Ante can increase the chance of this, and Deliverance can guarantee it.
    • If the killer successfully scarifices all but one survivor and then shuts the hatch, the final survivor could have Adrenaline, which would put them back into the injured state.

    "slugged survivors" is one of those things where the devs have NEVER properly addressed this IMO.

    If all 4 survivors have ZERO cheese perks to get back up. and the killer decides after downing all 4. They can walk away. I'd guess this could be a form of scummy, SOFT griefing players. Since the bleedout timers can take FOREVER. or if a person has to wait for the timer, to avoid an EXIT PENALTY.

    Essentially a person has to sit there doing nothing after fully healed up and crawling for a very long time, or back in the day. we'd all just press 'EXIT MATCH'. and the killer would not get their hooking points. Since it taught killers to just clean up the map and be done.

    -----

    From the killer's point of view. There are survivors out there whom play VERY strong, and the killer is in a position where they know DS can be tripped. along with other escape mechanics in the game. so in order to secure a 4-man. They have to slug.

    ----------------

    IMO Unbreakable should have just been a standard game mechanic. So killers have to actually WORK for their kill.
