The game is getting more and more campers and tunnelers. the main problem was Leatherface being able to facecamp. Now it's just Deatshlinger, who camps at 16m and immediately after unhooking goes with his power on the player who was unhooked. There's absolutely nothing you can do about it and in my opinion it's worse than being facecamped.


Shouldn't it be time to focus on that? It was never intended by the developers to shoot at the player immediately after unhooking and just tunnel them out in 30 seconds because there's nothing you can do

    "It was never intended" is not a solid reason, and saying it wasn't the Developers intentions, when they've never stated that, as well is just a poor excuse, if it wasn't intended then it would have been dealt with years ago. Any killer can proxy camp and utilize there power to tunnel, not just slinger, it's just gotten better BECAUSE they added anti-facecamp. You literally cannot remove tunneling and camping in this game without overhauling the game flow itself to remove both cases where it's not justified and when it is required by the killer to do so. (General Killer camp/tunnel dilemma over)

    It's also not always intentional when slinger spear's the unhooked survivor. The game seem's to have a weird conflict about who should be speared when the unhooking animation is playing. Being said, there isn't a great solution to preventing slinger from spearing a unhooked survivor from a gameplay change. Leatherface grant's a very breif immunity from his chainsaw but that doesn't stop the problem's your voicing.

    There is a Anti-tunnel change that would work that is rather simple to implement, but the fact they havn't done it after so long probably mean's it's more problematic for the killer itself than what it provides.

    There are 3 perk's you can utilize and you should be if your encountering this many Deathslingers doing this, Borrowed Time, Off The Record and Dead Hard. All 3 can be used against Slinger and all work to a great effect. Outside of that, better teammates. Body blocking is the best counterplay against a slinger, if your unhooker is healthy and isn't sticking around then it's there fault.
