Stop wasting pallets! PLEASE!

Ok I understand not everyone is a literal god in this game but can you please stop wasting pallets and throwing them down immediately ? Especially safe ones in killer shack and jungle gyms.


Like I see my teammates throw down pallets as soon as they reach it while the killer isn't even close. You can loop the killer at least once at every pallet but instead you just waste them and screw over your team by going through all the pallets on the map. Even worse is when they wait at a pallet for the killer to get a stun. I understand if you're injured or if the killer has bloodlust, but if you're healthy there's no reason to throw it down as soon as you reach one. Even if they hit you, so what? You can take one more hit.


I just had the worst teammate I've ever seen. I was doing a gen while watching her (Feng) throw down pallets one by one, she got downed and then dc'ed.

Like WHYYYY...


You even have so many perks to help you out, especially dead hard.

You can loop the killer so many times with this perk.


Once again, I understand not everyone knows how to loop, but this stuff happens in red ranks, and you should know it if you're within those ranks.

Again, this thread will get ######### on by killer mains, but I had to say it.

    You can bait Dead hard, which is how she could have gotten downed

    when your teamate runs no mither and as soon as he spawns in starts dropping all the pallets.

    As a Myers main... thank you to all potatoes that are wasting all the pallets, especially when you are being downed just after that because you weren't looking back.

    Also when Myers is stalking them and they drop it UHH i wanna commit die.

    Yeah, even though I'm a killer main, I also play solo survivor. So I know the feel.

    That said, you'll probably always have teammates like that. Unless the devs can improve matchmaking considerably.

    Its even better when they wait on the pallet for you to lunge at them.

    When you're playing myers and they stare at you, waiting for you trying to bait you for a stun then throw it down and wait to see if you'll break it..... Alright I'm a hair away from T3 I'll break it now run me to someone else so I can down you both. 😭

    Or when after unhooking they both start to teabag you from a safe distance... with 3 gens left and they are teabagging Myers... everyone died this round...

    Not if you use it effectively; to gain distance in a loop in order to reach a pallet, for example.

    what do you mean?

  • Kiskashi
    Kiskashi Member Posts: 1,043

    No when they drop it while he’s not close, clearly stalking them and they just stand there or start teabagging because they think they’re pro, that’s the kicker, yes just stand in plain view you’re doing your team a great service...

  • Kiskashi

    In all seriousness though, pallets are meant to give space, as much as it kills good survivors inside to see them get wasted I guess there’s no real survivor training school in game on “you can actually run this loop up to 2-3 times before throwing it down without getting hit once if you’re not greedy (and are phenomenal at wasting a huntress’ time if used well)” I do get what you mean though, it shouldn’t be happening by red ranks, I was lucky enough to get strong window loops on my maps/games today because I almost expect pallets to be gone by mid game at my post reset ranks.

    @Kiskashi There is a trick to prevent people from wasting pallets... Just use OoO, or if its not enough you can add No mither to it... You can be sure that the killer will start chasing you... or he will just leave you to be because he will be intimidated by OoO and No mither combo...

    You're mad about a Feng dropping pallets, I had a 'Survive' 'with' 'Fengs' '!' (Yeah they were called those names.) And they wouldn't drop a single pallet, they stomped me.

    Sometimes I run alert and I can see one survivor being a pallet assassin across the entire map. So painful. I'm not even a good looper but I've learned to conserve pallets, especially when full health.

    I agree, i really hate when i loop the killer for 2 minutes and i used 0-1 pallet. Then killer is on some1 else and the survivor is droping 3 pellets withing the first 40 seconds. But hey... what can we do?

  • Ember_Hunter
    Ember_Hunter Member Posts: 1,693

    I admit that sometimes I accidently waste pallets when I think killer is right behind me

    But then again, I used to drop pallets near generators for *Protection* and not know about noise notifications XD

    It might be while it is effective, just running in circles is also boring as hell. Also, i think they belive that if they drop enough pallets, the killer has to break them before he follows and thus they can "win" the chase.

    be best thing to do when 1 suvivor dropps every, single, pallet, is bodyblock the survivor, and then when the killer downs them dont even bother saving them, just tbag in front of them. that should be enough to convince them to not waste pallets, and if you ever see that survivor as killer, just hit them arround the pallet when you can, those dumb ones usually dont relise there is a delay between dropping the pallet and being able to vault it.
