Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

I know, I'm rubbish lol

Must have had 20+ games now with skeleton/dull key and not once have I found the hatch!!! Still only 2 maps I can guess where hatch spawn is but I would have hoped for one hatch escape, Doh!!!

    The hatch can spawn on any tile that has a chance to spawn a pallet. So quite a lot of them.

    Its important to keep in mind that the hatch is only visible when there are more generators completed than there are survivors left alive.
    I'll list off some common places I find the hatch.
    In the Meat packing plant it's always on the bottom floor. In Springwood, it's often in the basement of the preschool but can be other places, like on the street. In Haddonfield, it is possible for the hatch to spawn on one of the closed off porches. It can be in the middle of the street, the playground, or in the hedges. In Coldwind, it can be random in the cornfield somewhere and basically anywhere else, including inside the red barn. In the Swamp, look under the pier, and under that big structure with the maze-like area underneath it, the hatch sometimes spawns right at the mouth of the basement (or where the basement could be). In Macmillan, the Institute, Crotus, Yamaoka, and Ormond it can be basically anywhere, I haven't seen any places more common than others.
    It usually will spawn in a location where 2 other things can spawn, like a generator and a hook. It can be on the hills. Its helpful to check in the middle of those sections of walls. Also can spawn in the killer shack.

    Badham School has the most predictable spawn locations for hatch. Nearly always in one of a small handful of places.

    I don't think this is right because it can also spawn on the hill or in the middle of the corn on Coldwind.
