Hit me with your top 5 list of reasons why you as a Killer should tunnel a Survivor :)

5) You have a chasing daily

4) They have a key

3) The exit gates are powered

2) It's the strategically correct choice

1) Salt farming

    1) The last gen has popped.

    2) The survivor was an #########.

    End of reasons.

    Those are pretty much my only reasons as well. Namely #2.

    I try not to tunnel if at all possible but if my hand if either forced because it's end game and I don't have the luxury to be picky, sorry champ, I'm taking you down. If they're being an jerkface, I also may consider tunneling them pending how the game is going.

    Samesies. If I see a fellow survivor being a douche canoe, I do not feel bad when they get themselves murdered. Sportsmanship goes two ways, for sure.

    You forgot to add:

    Has no skills and the only way they can actually kill anyone.

    1. Eliminating a Survivor early is the most efficient way for a Killer to play. In a 4v1 game about time management, killing off the weak link early is an extremely smart choice.
    2. Survivor has a Key. While this may not get rid of the Key entirely, it will make it more difficult for Survivors to use it, buying you time to win the match.

    Those are my usual reasons.

    If you ask me the reason doesn't really matter, if someone decides to do it that's it no matter the reason.

    I don't really do it myself because with my own personal mindset I don't find it fun to do and I don't care about all the stuff commonly considered "toxic", and at the same time I find intentional "salt farming" pretty cringy no matter who does it. But as long as people don't combine it with bannable behavior like going way too far post-game or something I don't really care I guess?

    1) propt their borrow time and get them to mend

    2) if a survivor sabo teammates by going for unsafe unhooks

    3) if survivor has key

    4) if swf(you'll notice when everyone is around going for unhook)

    5) breaking my hooks

    1. The survivor gets near you and clicks their flashlight for you to chase them, I respond by tunneling them until the DC or die on hook.
