Who do you get tunneled as/who do you tunnel

I asked this question in the reddit threat the other day and I want to ask it here and see peoples responses.

Survivors: Who do you find you get tunneled/targeted as the most? personally for me it's Adam

Killers: Who do you tend to go for first and why?

    David, too cocky and predictable perk loadout

    As survivor: I have been tunneled while Steve or Ash

    I main Steve as survivor and find that I'm usually the first tunneled/hooked. I've tested other characters as well for different things, but not enough to really claim that I don't get tunneled as them.

    As killer, I don't tend to tunnel on purpose, and I've actually abandoned chase with a survivor who I kept running into because I started to feel bad. (I'm really low rank, so I'm always assuming that other people are new to the game like me.) However, if I hear gens pop fast at the beginning and I find the survivor with the toolbox, I definitely try my hardest to get them on hook to slow the game down a little.

    As a Killer I'll argue that most female survivors love to get in your face. Looking at you Meg. So usually those are the ones I tunnel the most. Only second to Claudette, who is more of a mixed bag of good and bad players.

    As a survivor, Quentin gets tunneled as the most. But he's also my best survivor.

    I get tunneled as Steve most, and I don't tunnel.

    For survivor I feel like I get tunneled far harder if I play as Laurie than if I use anyone else. I guess killers blame her for D-strike, so she must die. Or the Michael Myers player wants dat granny skirt, or dem jeansss. lol

    As Killer I tunnel the survivor who brings in a key, other wise no one survivor makes me want to chase them over another. If they are attempting to be toxic or something, then I might.

    As survivor, dwelf usually gets me killed. No christmas spirit amongst our killers.

    As killer, i dont purposely tunnel but if I'm running around and i find you I'll slug you. Only exception is when i notice OoO. I can't help it, that person needs to go even if it means throwing the game. Its a mental deficiency and i acknoledge that.

    I don't tunnel any specific individual unless they have a key.


    I notice Meg's are usually tunnelled and/or camped.

    Quentin does get tunnelled a lot.

    Leave us alone. You heathens!!!

    Oi they gotta catch us first though. Im confident in saying that I can give a Killer a run for his money.

    I just play Nea unless i'm doing a daily or a tome challenge, but I've never found I get tunneled more on one character over another.

    As killer I'm obligated to tunnel and mori every Blendette that comes into my lobby. I took an oath. Normal Claudettes wearing anything remotely bright are perfectly fine. But Blendettes...

  • McLightning
    McLightning Member Posts: 949

    I don't get tunneled that much, but when I do, it's as Bill. Then they realize "this Bill isn't pepega...time to go chase that Nea".

    I don't really tunnel people unless I know them personally as a friend. Then it's just playful trolling:P

    I most tunnel clauds: I hate blends and a lot of them have keys

    I most get tunneled as jane

  • AvisDeene

    Claudette gets tunneled in any Yamaoka map or Cornfield map. If I let her out of my sight I may not see her again until they have the gates open.

    Bill gets tunneled because I can’t stand him. I hate his coughing and wheezing, I hate how he looks, and I just HATE HIM! I don’t know why, I know nothing of his lore and don’t care to learn. I enjoy my hatred of him. I will show mercy if he wasn’t toxic and spins while in dying state.

    As survivor, I don’t really get tunneled too much. The only time I get tunneled is when the gens get down to two and the killer panics. Or if it’s a Bubba, but that’s expected. More often than not, if I do get tunneled it’s because it’s a new rank 15-20 killer who doesn’t know better.

    As survivor I've noticed I tend to get tunneled more when I wear the prestige outfit I have for Jake.


    As killer I try not to tunnel

    Why else would you justify tunneling if you don't do it? No need to justify it, no one will shame you mate.

    I main Dweet, but don't be targeted often for tunneling.

    As killer, who ever acts toxic.

  • Waffleyumboy
    Waffleyumboy Member Posts: 7,318

    Yes survivors have constant info on where the killer is, how could I have been so blind. Thank you for letting me see the light 😇

  • Waffleyumboy
    Waffleyumboy Member Posts: 7,318

    Good day to you too. Hopefully now you won't be so insecure about tunneling 🤗

  • I get tunneled as Dwelf like a LOT. Like a LOOOOT. It's fine though, I am gonna keep using him.


    As for who I tunnel as killer?

    Blendette's because I know if I let them out of my sight I may never see them again.

    Object's of Obsession, because you pretty much have to if they are in an SWF as the game is just over if you don't kill them quick enough. You need to keep pressure up though to keep them from doing gens but still need to kill them ASAP.

    People with a key, because again you kinda have to. If you don't 3/4 people could leave well before the gates ever even open. So the time you have to prevent that is narrow.

    Smart move I would ignore him also, it's clear he is not understanding nor does he have any intention of trying to. Just wants to be passive aggressive to try and dig at you as much as they can; as they know they can't do much more without incurring the mods.

    There are a lot of folks like that in this community, just ignore them and don't even respond to them to begin with my dude. Just ignore them and move on entirely.

    Wow when did I piss you off? Thanks for pubicly badmouthing me I guess, because if I am like you describe me to be that would just empower me...

    Good day

    Any player that makes it their mission to be seen, while I have no issue with T-Bagging, or flashlight flicking, you better make sure you're the worlds best players if you're going to do it because I'll forgo my "down the unhooker" and at least attempt to down you first just to waste your time.

  • PigMainClaudette
    PigMainClaudette Member Posts: 3,842

    If I had to choose ONE survivor that I get tunnelled as, it'd have to be Claudette. I'm no Blendette, but geez. Everyone HATES Claudette considering she's the go-to stealth character. And I don't have Decisive Strike on her.


    I don't tunnel though. If the recently unhooked runs at me, they get slugged. If I get them when I Dash from around the corner, they get slugged. If it's been more than a minute, I've kicked 3 generators and you're the only one I've found, THEN you're going back on the hook.

    It's just not fun for anyone, so I just don't do it. And as I've said before, the snowball is way more fun than any other win.

    Keys get a a lot of focus as well as those who are intentionally trying to provoke me (in midranks) since they are asking for it. Otherwise I let then go unless gens are going too fast.

    You get tunneled no who you play as. Its more who you’re against that the question.

    Trapper - tunnels

    wraith - tunnels

    hag - oh you better believe she camps and tunnels

    ghostface - tunnels

    pig - tunnels the person with the RBT on

    spirit - tunnels

    freddy - tunnels

    The rest vary but the killers above you should generally expect tunneling

    Adam gets tunneled because all his perks suit a stealthy, altruistic playstyle yet his bright white jacket is basically a neon sign that shows up to the killer way more easily than any other character. The same thing also applies to Nancy, her sweater makes finding her way too easy.

    The weakest link.

    I dunno. I usually don't get tunneled. I definitely know someone who does tho

    Ace, I just wanna Mori his cocky face.😈


    As a Survivor I usually only get tunneled when I emote or teabag during a chase but I’m just asking for it when I do that lol.

    I have had killers message me after tunneling me that I must die just for playing Nea though lol.

    The more toxic you act, the more toxic I’ll act, meaning I target toxic survivors

    As survivor; doesn't matter I am the killer magnet. I can be dressed as an innocent little raven bird, cawing around and the killer would still chase me ._.

    As killer; I don't like to tunnel anyone, however, if I was caught in a situation where two injured survivors were in front of me; one is Claudette and the other is anyone else, it'd be Claudette. Girls, I am already blind! Don't hide in the corn or the reeds anymore pleaseeee!! Love ya though <3

  • Laakeri
    Laakeri Member Posts: 835

    I rarely get tunneled for probably 2 reasons. I dont do anything toxic and I consider myself a decent survivor so the first chase should tell killer that maybe he should go for weaker survivors instead.

    I tunnel people who do nothing beside hump the main building in maps where its broken as chases are most fun part in game and running same window 150 times is boring.

    I get tunneled as anybody it doesn't happen every game though. I guess it would be Feng because I play as her the most.

    I tunnel when there is 2 to no gens left. I also tunnel people when survivors want to twerk in front of me after a pallet stun. Or in general. If they get mad at me then they shouldn't have tempted me with all of the booty. It is typically Neas, Megs and Feng. Everyone does it though.
