    Slugging they hate slugging. Note for some people gonna complain that it is mean to do this.

    It is generally a good tactic to get rid of the bully-killer squads. Normal for fun screwing around swf is far different that other squads.

    Most of the time I just treat every group equally, and play whatever I feel like playing. Im absolute ######### at nurse, but on the off chance I see someone in the lobby I wanna push abit extra... I have quite afew iri heads and moris stocked up on my huntress.

    I prefer not to punish people, whats the point? Rather not be part of a viscous cycle no matter how many people are willing to.

    I do it by hooking them all three times and letting them get 4-5 gennys done. After this things just snowball!

    Here's a few options to combat, not punish, SWF.

    - Nurse or Spirit

    - Slugging

    - Proxy Camping and Tunneling with a High Mobility Killer.

    - Some form of build to make them angry.

    The only kind of competitive SWF you can punish is the Altruistic ones.

    If their competitiveness includes not overly caring about eachother, it'll be a tough match regardless.

    Punish them for playing with friends? Why?

    If you meant to beat them, then Spirit or Nurse will get the job done. Hag and Billy aren't as reliable, because if the survivors are any good, Hag and Billy are pretty terrible.

    I play doctor with agitation and mad grit. They seem to hate that and my mother.

    Well, i don't 'punish' swf, i just take actually strong stuff, because i tend to meme with builds against randos.

    Swf tend to be altruistic in a stupid way so i take infectious bbq. Works wonders, tells you if someone is there for pallet or flashlight save. If no bbq procs i search hook area very carefully, they are always there.

    If 2 dudes tbag or point at me to leave the hook i just laugh at them and watch them killing their ally and not progressing game one bit xD. If they play normally so do I.

    Edit: As mistar said, mad grip makes them mad too, kek.

    How do you punish swf with ghostface if they are on com?


    Answer: You can't. You are just helpless and probably the worst killer. A killer nobody will play in red ranks, because he is there only bully-food.

    You don't. They're just playing with their friends try getting good.

    I tell them they have been bad and sent them to their bedroom without dinner. That will teach them.

    Because they get about 6 or so free perks and negate several killer perks as well as some add ons killers use.... SWF needs to be moved to it's own category or merged with KYF.

    I choose Nurse, swap my BBQ with Deerstalker, change my nickname to "Slug Queen", and hit "ready".

    First of all, you're punishing players who just happen to have someone else to play alongside with.

    Second of which, it's a permanent game feature and you will have to deal with it.

    However, if SWF go all out to taunt/be toxic the killer, (which I hope you were referring to in your opening statement) which does not happen all the time, just bite the bullet and stomp em like a man; because ultimately you will be getting BP either way so just enjoy the game. If you aren't able to 4K, work on your skills and you will overcome any SWF eventually.

    This is probably the only place you'd actually hear this.

    My idea its make a penalty of repair speed only for swf probably like 2 swf 10% 3 swf 15% 4 swf 20%

    You thought about the title of this post when you clicked on it, so by his logic, you are toxic by clicking a button.

    I see a lot of people here accusing everyone in this thread of being toxic for wanting to be an ######### to SWF. The consensus if that SWF have more of an advantage over the 1 Killer, they can communicate and this communication usually causes them to get toxic and do things to intentionally ruin the Killer's game. The Killer is a person and you should be respecting each other regardless, it's a game. You disrespect us then we disrespect you, I enjoy killing all Survivors equally but dominating a good SWF teams who just wants to make sure you de-pip deserves that nice ass ######### from the Entity they so desperately are trying to avoid.

    If they're being an ######### to me, obviously trying to screw me over and enjoy it then it depends on who I'm playing.

    If my skill level is high enough I'll try to use their own desires against them, if they're altruistic then I'll be getting a lot of hooks in whatever way I need. I don't have any details because it all depends on what they're doing, IDEALLY I would be keeping them in my Basement.

    If they're focusing on Gens then I'll be wounding them and slugging them but it really all depends on who my Killer is and my perks. It's a lot easier to combat a Gen rushing team with slug tactics when you have Surveillance.
