The Joy of Achievements
So, I was playing Pig, working on getting the I Want To Play A Game achievement for putting 125 RBTs on survivors. I figured I had to be close already. So I play match after match. At 4am, I give up and go to bed; I'll try again the next day.
(It is amazing how many survivors will try to get the RBT off when you put it on them after the last gen pops. Even carrying them as far as you can into the exit and dropping them doesn't always give them the hint.)
My friend decides to meme around a bit as the Pig, pretending to do gens with survivors and stuff. After the last gen pops, he puts a couple RBTs on them just for the hell of it...
and he unlocks it. I was literally two RBTs away from getting it. -_-
Now I'll never get the joy of popping that achievement.
(The next achievement I have to work on is Skilled Huntress: "With The Huntress, successfully down Survivors with Hatchets from further than 24 metres away a total of 100 times." At this rate, I'll pop the achievement in... 100 days.)

To be fair, I wouldn't think it that surprising that survivors try to get the traps off after the last gen pops. They can't just run out the gate, so what other option do they have? Find and fight over the hatch?

What do you mean? If you put the trap on them when the exit gates are already open, the trap isn't activated and they can just leave.

Oh, I see. Well then, I'm guessing it's because most survivors, like me, didn't realise that traps only trigger at the gates if they're active. I'd certainly not come across that fact before, I feel like it's only something you'd know if you had read the wiki or played Pig a lot, or if someone told you about it. The general understanding is just "you can't leave through the gate if you have a trap on your head", which apparently is not entirely accurate. But that's how most survivors see it, I think.

Dang, I thought everyone knew about the way they nerfed Pig when the End Game Collapse was introduced. Yeah, once the EGC became a thing, Pig's RBTs changed so that they only activate if a gen pops. If you put an RBT on a survivor after all five gens are done, it's basically just a pretty hat.
Also, I'm fairly certain that if the Pig carries you all the way into the exit gate (past the second pillar) and drops you at the very edge, you can just leave. It's not leaving that detonates the trap, but passing that second pillar inside the gate area. Pigs have tried to force-detonate the traps by carrying survivors past the second pillar only to find out that they just gave the survivor a free escape lol.
The more you know. :)

Ah, so are you saying it was a recent-ish change, and it used to be that all traps put on after the gates were powered detonated at the gates? That would explain why most people don't know about it, then, if they're just casual players who don't keep up with updates, or they haven't played in a while.
But yeah, fun fact about the pillar. I've learned two things today 😀

I think the skilled huntress is one of the more difficult ones to get, good luck .

Thanks. Yeah, it's going to take a long time. I can't even hardly see 24 metres away.
I had one match with an AFKer. I want more of those. It was like an early Christmas gift, setting him up and downing him over and over again lol.

What a treat. I would love for that to happen to me tho I had one Adam let get free hatchets, so his team could win seems like a fair bargain, what's strange we never even discussed this over chat just a mutual understanding

Times like this make me grateful that I can see my achievement progress on Steam. I need 50 more tiers up as Myers for his 300 stalks, and while it was demoralizing to see I needed so many before, watching the bar go up is very satisfying 🤗
Good luck on the Huntress achievement! It took a lot of time for me just to get 20.

I envy you guys being able to see your achievement progress. That'd be so nice. I got out a piece of paper to start keeping track of how many 24-metre+ downs I get from here on out as Huntress. In a couple hours of playing today, I got... 3. -_-
Thanks! I wish Sony weren't such a hard ass and would let devs change achievements, then it'd only be 20 for us, too. Ah, so jealous.
Good luck on the Myers one. :) I'm sure it won't take you too long.
