Hidden Killer Loadout: How do I know he is cheating?

Hesmart

"Hidden Killer Loadout: Removed the ability for Survivors to view the Killers perks, add-ons and offerings in the tally screen during an on-going match. Killer information will be revealed once all Survivors have exited the match."

When we have some suspicion of an undue advantage, the first thing we do is look at the perks of the killer and end our doubts. Now you have to wait for everyone to die to do this. Is kinda unfair for killers ... again.

For example, I know how to use a flashlight, and eveytime I tryed to use on a Hag breaking my palet, she did not go blind. I got the right flashlight with the righ addons, and didn't see any changes for flashlights in the patch notes. So I got very suspicious about her. I was second to die.... and I wanted to see if she had someting againt flashlight or whatever... well, you have to wait, angry, until the end to know now.

I understand that they probably did this because many SWF players communicate through Discord to their teammates to take advantage ... which is illegal, I agree.

But until when solo players like me will have to pay because of the advantages of SWF players and the changes devs make in the game because they?

Even solo players can communicate with each other via the platforms voice chat or messaging system.
If you are really unsure whether the killer cheated, simply take a break, stretch for a minute and wait until the game is over. It really doesnt take too long, unless there is a survivor holding the game hostage hiding in some bush, but that doesnt happen too often

Hag can't be blinded at pallets she's too small 4head.

You just wait... might not be what you want to do in that situation but it's for a greater good.

This is a really weird post. I would have thought this change to the game as being common sense and should be pretty much universally praised. Having the killer's loadout being given mid match was inherently flawed. It generally isn't too difficult to figure out what the killer is running anyway. But stuff like NOED and Bloodwarden survivors shouldn't know about until they are active.

The notion that the killer is cheating and you can somehow tell by their load out seems nonsensical to me anyway. If you fail to flashlight blind the killer, I would be more inclined to believe that you just failed to aim correctly than the killer used some sort of hack. About the only obvious form of cheating I've seen with killers is lag switching. I've also seen video of killers that seem to have used their video cards to remove fog and increase vision. Neither of which would make any difference from their killer load out.

In short, the change so survivors can't see the killer's loadout until the game is over is a good thing and your logic is flawed.

Yeah, PC don't. But I like playing old school mode, without any comunication set. Just paying atention to the sound of the game and survivor's signals.

It's actually incredibly easy to other survivors on console to inform them about things.

Also if you're that concerned about cheating waiting to find out if the killer was cheating or not shouldn't be a problem

Alphaphalt

Hag can't be blinded at pallets when she's breaking it because she's short. There's nothing more to it.

Maybe you like to play old school, but sadly most of the community plays SWF nowaday

When the hag is breaking a pallet she tilts her head down and combined with her being short it means you can't blind her.
