Breakdown bug being exploited by SWF
Can we get some emergency patches for some of these game breaking bugs?
Hooks not respawning leads to the Swf team I had today where they all ran breakdown and sabeteur. No hooks left on one side of the map after 10 minutes. I had to let them bleed out.
Makes you wonder what QA process is involved when theoretically these perks aren't even changing, and yet bugs like this are introduced.

I made a post on this, with a squad I dealt with last night, but if you can catch on early in the game what they are doing. Push them to a corner where there is a lot of hooks, slug them all, and hook them there. These sabo squads will tend to cause a lot of mistakes, and you can take advantage of that. Typically these teams end up getting 4 slugged.

That's fine for the next game, I guess. I wasn't aware of the bug until halfway through the match when it was clear hooks weren't respawning.

You can farm them easy for bloodpoints. These squads try to bully you, and make your life a living hell, but just catch on if you see a hook go down after a first hook, and see if they are trying to sabo and stuff. Scout a corner where most hooks are, and you should be alright. I tend to call these matches easy bloodpoints lol.

I wish they could just disable the perk.

Thanks. I did beat them, although it was a 3k because I decided to just watch the last bleed out. Oh well.

It's only a real problem when they all run no mither+ breakout with it , there's not a whole lot you can do in that situation

I had one of those the other night.
No Mither, Soul Guard, Breakdown and Dead Hard.
I managed to 4K over the course of a very long match.

You'll always win that match as a killer though, their goal is to make you dc from all the bullshit you have to endure in that timeframe but they'll all bleed out eventually

Sure isn't fun.

You could say the same about the legion mending addon exploit though,right?
All survivors will get downed by the legion eventually.

Heh my very first encounter with the bug had all 4 use no mither so slugging them is impossible. It backfired and I got a 4k because I had agitation and the basement was in the center of the map.

I mean yea of course you could compare the two but I think the devs don't want to ban people for their own mistakes anymore , I don't think its fair to use that perk at the moment but I also think that the devs do this stuff on purpose at this point lol

I wish devs could do this. I ran into the first time today and the survivors weren't doing gens... just trying to destroy as many hooks and running to the corner of the map. No fun...

can we also fix the pallet stun bug? It apparently got “fixed” last update.. hmm I don’t think so.

I didn't know that was a thing until now. I never use the perk because I wasn't a big fan of it but jesus. They really should disable the perk if it's permanent.

The devs don't consider it an exploit according to their mods, so survivors have nothing to fear.
Unlike when killers were just using normal legion add-ons and got perma-banned for it because they were bugged, thats an exploit.
But not this, using a extremely rare perk thats almost never used, and pairing it with with anti-slug or just runing to the same side of the map every time to make sure you can abuse it, thats fine.
Using add-ons that were ran normally on a killer, nah thats an exploit.
The devs don't even consider it an exploit, but when killers did the legion thing with it being much more likely they just didn't know, nah that was an exploit.
Its not "the devs don't want to ban people for their own mistakes anymore", its that they don't even consider it an exploit despite it being a much worse case because survivors are doing it.
The bias is clear to me.

Yep but its nothing new. Im personally taking a break meanwhile, i think it's the wiser thing to do, after the disappointment i had with the trickster and now an exploit like this.. maybe its the thousands of hours i have but as the time pass i play less and less this game.
At this point i refuse to play with game breaking bugs it really drives me away from the game. They also didn't entirely fix pallets stuns either.. so i think behaviour is either working with tight schedules or in a crisis period.

I've been taking a break as well. Survivor doesn't appeal to me anymore with how easy and boring it is. Killers get treated unfairly as just survivor entertainment, second class citizens or whatever you want to call it.
So between boringly easy or frustrating because the game is designed against you, I just play something else.
Its nothing new, as you said. Hope you're enjoying your break, I know I am 🙂
