Is there some kind of organized effort?
To be as lame as humanly possible as killer right now?
I have never been tunneled and camped harder in my life than I have during my matches today. 50% of the matches I've been the unlucky person found first and I die because the killer refuses to focus on anything other than me for the remainder. ALL I WANNA DO is my challenges and get the stupid event points but this keeps happening.
Literally played 6-7 matches and ALL killers are being total jerks right now.

The usual during events.

Killers definitely tunneling way harder than normal because it's an event and that's what they do during events. Just going to do what challenges I can and grab the event cosmetics then not play until next page opens, repeat, and then not play until event is over.

I mean I'm not tunneling in my killer games. Better to get downs on multiple survivors and steal all their delicious void points lol. But yh i have seen a fair few more killers tunneling while playing surv.

Tunneling during the event is a waste of GOOD suffering.

I've played a bunch as survivor today and not had any tunnelers so far. Even had a Plague who waited until I interacted with the Rift to red-puke on me :)

I've actually had a really good day on DBD today, which I haven't had in a long time.
I put it all down to the event of course. Decent games as both solo survivor and killer, a lot of Ghostfaces, but not a single killer tunnelled/camped.

Welcome to Dead by Tunnel. Been happening since 6.1.0, ain't going away any time soon.

Especially since the counter is to get better at looping, which requires effort.

This. It's been this way since 6.1 in my experience. At least 20% of my games are against CoB/Overcharge/Eruption killers who are utterly clueless in a chase but make the game take 20+ minutes and hard tunnel everyone.

That isn’t the counter to tunneling. Killers have bloodlust..?

How can they make the game 20+ minutes if they're clueless in chase and tunneling constantly? Not that I'm doubting your experiences, just that the two concepts are kinda opposite. Killers who are bad in chase but still tunnel are providing long periods of not pressuring gens, so they shouldn't even be able to make the rounds reapplying the kick perks in time unless people just arent working on them.
Do you understand how bloodlust works? all you have to do is force them to kick a door or break a pallet to reset it. It even resets when they score a hit, and takes 15/25/35 seconds to rank back up. If they need to BL both hits there damn well better be 1-3 gens popping in that time, which means you already won the chase. Not only that, but if they are tunneling you can be more proactive with both your routing to force them to have to reset BL, while also predropping safe pallets to prevent getting hit. Its why killers don't tunnel confident survivors, they know they will lose more time than they save. Thats why its the direct counter to the strategy.

Just had a survivor fast locker spamming right next to me as I worked on the last gen in was a very good match. Got away from her and she got hooked, I was going to taunt on her on the hook but instead I got her off it then got downed straight away as I was injured. She got the hatch ...... pays to be a moron as per usual.

Yes. I understand how a common feature of the game works. Stunning a killer with a pallet during a loop, which isn’t easy against any mildly decent killer, doesn’t circumvent my point. And while bloodlust is lost after a basic m1 hit, there are many killers who can down in chase really easily. They probably don’t even need to rely on bloodlust when tunneling.

You don't have to stun the killer unless its an unsafe loop, and even then you can still mindgame the drop. You're also backpedaling hard from the BL argument to try to make it killer specific, which is an entirely different conversation. You are right that if a killer is tunneling efficiently, then they do not need BL. BL only becomes a factor when the game is literally saying "hey killer, we noticed you've been in chase for a bit and havent had any luck or even interaction, lets try to help and wrap this up." Its literally the game playing one of those award show "wrap it up" outtros to try to force some interaction. If the killer doesn't need BL and gets downs before it activates/before it reaches higher tiers, that means the killer started the chase from a much more advantageous position than the survivor, which means they engaged the chase well. Or that the survivor was extremely bad and entered it poorly. Either way!
Time has an extremely relative relationship in this game: 1 second can do more than 1 minute under the right circumstances. Thats why, again, the more time you waste from a killer and prevent their agency against your teammates, the more damage you are doing than they are. If you are good in chase you want to be tunneled, practically beg for it, unless you are also confident in the ability of your teammates. The thing you want most is for the killer's time to be wasted, regardless of who is doing it.

6.1.0 has really buffed tunneling in the long run. It's way more efficient to just hit off hook,get STBFL stacks & avoid OTR/DH and tunnel/proxy camp someone out with the current killer meta. Dont be surprised.
