Tunnel, camping and getting farmed.

I don't know what I should do anymore? Every single round I get tunneled, camped or farmed. I want to play 1 round without ds but it's impossible. What should I do?

    Quit the game, most killers are really terrible at this game and don’t play without camping or tunneling

    Equip Kindred. It coordinates your SQ team.

    My guess is you are either being loud or leaving scratch marks carelessly or you aren't paying enough attention to your surroundings. Just try to keep a lower profile and make sure to look around constantly. That should help a lot honestly

    Change your starting game plan, avoid gens and, find the Killer. Use information perks like, Kindred, Spine Chill, Bond to help alert you. How is your looping game and, ability to track the killer while being chased?

    Equip ds. Games are longer and you can practice more chases. With more time in the game its easier to rank up. After i reached red rank it got better. I still have ds equipped but i dont need it most of the time.

    So the best way to not needing ds is to use it to get better.

    I've been playing all night got tunneled 13 times in a row and behavior wonders why people bash this game its not friendly to low ranks the killers always tunnel and face camp so you can't get higher than like 10 cause you get tunneled and face camped relentless

    Just remind yourself that all of us also run into the same obstacles and adversity that you do. Some of us don't even run DS; I for example, NEVER run it. I'm a Red Rank Survivor now, albeit getting here was very slow as a Solo.

    DS is like Dumbo's magic feather; it makes you feel better and believe you have an out, but all in all it does very little for you. Just working on looping, evading, and so on. I assure you that it gets better. Stop worrying about the game match by match. Make some long term goals, and inch your way toward them. Everything will fall into place in time.

    As an aside, a lot of very bad saves lead to “tunnel”. It can be overzealous teammates humping the hook for save points while the killers terror radius is still there or the super immersed savers that rescue and go hide. I’d suggest gluing kindred to your loadout. Also, try running windows for a while so you can learn pallet spawns and avoid dead zones.

    The devs refuse to do anything so if you are looking for them to fix the very mechanics people have complained about since release dont get your hopes up. They consider being toxic a pmay style

    Camping, tunneling, and slugging are NOT mechanics. They are tactics which Killers utilize match by match based on need. The DEV don't "fix" them because there is nothing broken, i.e. that needs fixing. This game is based on agency, i.e. the choices that Survivors and Killers make. If you want to play Bots whose behavior is strictly constrained, there are literally thousands of games you can choose from.

    Since when is killing survivors toxic? Because that's literally what tunneling is; killing survivors quickly.

    Most case, Killer will patrol like 30-40m near the hook for easy find Survivor. Especially if there are Gens progression around the hook.

    I do that too as Killer, when I go back to the hook, I chase unhooker. Or down hooked and chase unhooker for more pressure. But sometimes unhooker to completely disappear, and only the hooked one on sight.

    Not that I double hook the hooked one (depends on how many Gen I have left)


    Painfully, the game design force u to put DS just in case of tunneling. Its pretty much equal to Killer use Ruin because of Gen rush. Prevent "finish objective quickly"

    I never played with DS even when I was still a 100 hour baby, even though Halloween was the first DLC I bought.

    Simply put you are an easy target and killers are "picking" on you because you are the weak link. Nothing to be done about it but to "git gud." Learn one of the main survival strategies in the game: stealthing/juking and looping.

    • If you learn to stealth properly killer can't find you, and if they do you can lose them with a juke.
    • If you learn to run them around in a chase they will usually give up if the chase lasts long.

    If you intend to play survivor for any amount of time int his game you need to learn at least one of these two skills or the game is not going to be fun for you. You may want to try killer instead. And even if you don't, it's still highly-recommended to play killer as that will actually teach you how to do the two things above.

    Learn your survivor fundamentals and don't rely on crutch perks like DS.

    This hits the nail on the head; read it, internalize it, and practice it. Both Survivor and Killer success are driven by the fundamentals. Perks are nice but they are not what define a winner or loser in this game. If you look at the crazy good superstars like Otz, you will find he can take on challenges and go an insane number of games (winning) running no Perks. I'm not saying we will all turn into Otz, but I am pointing out that the most important skills are often the ones Survivors and Killers neglect.

    Today is the worst day, because people are trying to knock out rift challenges. In normal times, Kindred can help, if it's an honest mistake. Skulking off to a corner to heal yourself instead of letting your farmer teammate do it. There's no foolproof method I know.

    I think your numbers are off. 30m-40m is like 1/3 to 2/5th distance of the average map. If you hook a survivor in the middle of the map it's kinda hard to get further than 40m, unless you hide in a corner. U know what... If u think killers should go further from every hook, I shouldn't say anything.
