What is bannable when it comes to bodyblocking? I know facecamping or stopping a person getting hooked doesn't count, but what does?

    Bodyblocking is a bit of a loose term. Basically, what's bannable is where you prevent the game from playing out like normal. Examples of this is a survivor or the killer bodyblocking a survivor in a corner, and not allowing them to escape. That's actually the only one that comes to mind. Essentially, it's kind of an extension of "holding the game hostage."

    Walking in front of the killer to prevent them from chasing another survivor, etc, or even standing in the way of another survivor so they get hit are both allowed.... Though that second one is extrodanairly rude (and it might actually be not be allowed for other sections, but I think it is, regardless of how annoying and unpleasant it is.)

    As above.

    The body blocking bannable offenses don't count if the person being blocked in an area is hooked or can die ending their suffering.

    Body blocking being bannable equates to a holding the game hostage scenario so a killer blocking someone in the basement who is not hooked, or blocking them in a corner, survivor a also can block others in corners so the same applies.

    Body blocking at least on the killer side is only bannable if it's holding the game hostage.


    So if the survivor your body blocking can die then it's not taking the game hostage so not bannable.

    For example a killer trapping you so they could use their power is fine like chainsaws or vile purge

    If the survivors on a timer it's also allowed this means body blocking the basement to stop people from going down to get the save or a pig trapping you in a corner until your bear trap goes off and kills you.

    Long story short if they're not body blocking you until you have no choice but to disconnect. It's basically allowrd

    I'll add on to that:

    Basically he means you have to DC because "you cant lose or win the game."


    This how you lose or win as a survivor in case some people are confused.

    • You cannot get sacrificed, killed, or escape.
