SWF using mics is the best perk in the game for survivors , can the devs ever ban or disable this? Possible ? I know its them involving themselves to reach out to Xbox , Sony etc but has this ever been done?


What can a player do to find out what team is SWF team. I play this game casually and love to play as killer in normal lobbies but when I come across SWF it ruins my entire experience so I just shut the system off after a match that leaves me somewhat not in the greatest mood even though I want to play more. ( Never rage quit )


SWF + Mics + OoO + DS + Clicky + Kindred + BT + deliverance and map offering and you expect me not to camp or control the area. ?? By the time I even get a guy the hook nearby is already broken lol and it took my a while to even catch that one guy . By the time I hook him 2 gens already popped lol .

    Just facecamp with LF. After OoO swf leader number 789 and his cronies I am far past the point of caring about what survivors think to my playstyle. I play for kills only now and if I want to camp then I’ll camp.

    I have a few rules for when I'm trying to dodge SWFs.

    1: If they're all on the same platform, lobby dodge.

    2: Keys + Map + Flashlights, or any combination of which, lobby dodge

    3: Suspicious amount of flashlights? That's a lobby dodge.

    4: Check their profiles if possible. If they have someone in their friends list in the lobby with them, dodge.

    It's not foolproof, but those are some good rules to avoid SWFs.

    I very sure it is impossible to get both Sony and Microsoft to ban party chat for one specific game. The only thing the devs can do is add an indicator for SWF, otherwise everything else is a lost cause.

    4 flashlights in a lobby is my dream. I love using Lightborn and pretending I'm trying to avoid being blinded and get free hits out of that ahhaha. I've been able to slug 3 people once because of that. The 4th thing sounds too much of a paranoia to me lol

    As for the OP. If you feel like keep on playing, you should. One bad game doesn't mean the next ones will be bad as well.

    You can camp, but if you're not LF and the survivors expect you to do it, it's not quite effective, so you should play around more around their altruism, if possible.
