Main Goal Of Survivors?

When I started playing oh a couple of years ago now the main goal of survivors was to repair generators, unhook survivors as needed and escape the match.

Apparently that has changed to hiding in lockers and waiting for the others to do the stuff I listed above? Kind of hard to do when the other three survivors are all hiding in lockers and your the only one doing anything.

Couple of questions on that for those who play each match hiding in the lockers. First what if all 4 of you are hiding in lockers? Next do you just wait for the killer to find the others and hope your the last one and you manage to get the hatch or the exit gate open if the killer finds the hatch first? Final question. How does that work out for you?

Been happening a lot tonight. Maybe even in more matches than not.

    There is a diverse range of players.

    The scary part of the matchmaking system by skill rate is that if that matchmaking is working, you, who are matched with such a survivor, may be considered the same rate as them.


    Also, when combined with factors such as archival challenges, it is not uncommon for players with different objectives to come together. I am guessing that this may actually increase the kill rate.


    I prefer to chase and buy time and repair generators to increase my allies' survivability (although unhooking is not my strong suit) rather than going into lockers.

    Survivors are not one person, but four.

    This may not be the answer you are looking for. Hopefully you will be matched with a better teammate.

    Honestly I have only noticed it more since the Halloween Event that is going on. When the events done it will go back to normal. I have seen survivors too afraid to leave their generators or heal others or pull people off the hook. During this event if a survivor gets hit they lose their rift points making them paranoid to do anything. It's not an excuse but seems like it's happening more thanks to the event.

    MMR is based on escapes thru exit gates. So your only goal is to exit thru a gate.

    Find the flaw.
