How they SHOULD deal with face camping

When you are sacrificed, you respawn in another part of the map. Simple as that.

The unhooking action is slowly being dissolved anyway by basekit BT and removing hook grabs. What’s the point of rescues anymore especially when you are spading/castrating the killer from securing its kill?

It is blatantly apparent now in year 7 that the killer is not allowed/permitted to have fun and prevent hooked survivors from being unhooked.

Good for killers, not fun at all for survivors!

Just let the entity take the player, remove a life from their 3 lives (ie. 3 Hook states), and respawn at another place on the map.

This isn’t rocket science.

    Nope killer got the kill survivors miss played if they let him have it that easily especially now that grabbing is removed. Bubba camping is lore accurate so for him it's ok to not even allow trade and even that is still possible if survivors play good.

    Survivors success to make a trade against Bubba, its not survivors play good, its Bubba made a huge mistake.


    To OP, I always think hooked survivor spawn to another side of the map would solve both tunneling (off hook) and camping.

    To balance the game around hooks, tunneling and camping have to go (of course survivors' objective should be extended in some way so more hooks can be possible).

    Killers defending 1 hook 1 kill should never ask for 10 hooks game

    How to deal with face camping:

    Hook progress will not continue unless the Killer and Survivors are 20 meters away from the hook.

    If Survivors come within 20 meters of the hook, hook progress will continue regardless of if the Killer is nearby or not.

    Killer gains 5% Haste until they damage a Survivor health state and Gens progress 10% slower until the Survivor is unhooked. Haste does not activate until Killer is 20 meters away from the hook and Haste/Gen slowdown deactivates if the Killer returns within 20 meters of the hook.

    If Killer hooks all 4 Survivors once, Gen slowdown is increased to 15% when a Survivor is hooked.

    There, no more face camping and Killer gets a slight buff encouraging them to chase other Survivors and it even saves them Gen time.

    Killer is rewarded for spreading hooks with buffs and more time.

    They could even make the buffs only apply to certain Killers, like Trapper but not Blight.
