    I would always do it. The problem is, -if every surivovr has choose the same character and maybe even the same outfit - chances are higher as usually that you will got tunneled, just because the killer can't different between the survivors.

    That said, if I play survivor, I like to play as Jeff, as much as I like to play Kate. So that wouldn't for me a problem anyways.

    I've almost never done that, as I only have a few characters leveled up well (Ace and Doctor are the only ones I have prestige 3, with all the teachables for the characters that I have unlocked.) Most of the time I play other characters it's simply because I've been leveling them up and want to use up some of their BP offerings so they don't go to waste when I prestige.

    However, I'll make an exception if somebody specifically requests it from me. I don't play with friends much, but for example, I've had 3 Claudettes I paired with urging me to switch over too, so I figured why not? But yea, for me I mostly play just based off what I have on the character, or daily rituals.

    I only change my loadout never my character.

    If it's a full lobby of Claudettes, I'll switch to Dwight so the Killer can fixate their rage on the rest of the team.

    Most of the time yes but usually I'm in a team so I never get the chance. Today I got matched with two identical Ace's so I changed to him and made him look the same.

    Sometimes. If there are all Dwights I switch to my pepega dressed with meme perks on and derp around the match.

    Other than that I'm usually Meg or Kimura and don't change.

    This guy gets it =D

    Going along with what I commented previously, sometimes you gotta switch, sometimes you gotta go your own way.

    Usually! Unless I'm doing a challenge that requires a certain character, either due to it's stipulations, or I just don't have what I need on other characters.

    I do not try to dress the same though. I'm picky and like what I like, and hopefully the killer can tell us apart.

  • DBD78
    DBD78 Member Posts: 3,469

    Never! I use the character I want to use.

  • SunaIIanu
    SunaIIanu Member Posts: 826

    I did it twice to have 4 Panama Aces, but both times the killer assumed that we were SWF and played accordingly so that discouraged me from that.

  • csandman1977
    csandman1977 Member Posts: 2,358

    I dont match outfits. But i do match characters. Even if i dont have perks. Still just fun. Unless its claudette.

  • premiumRICE
    premiumRICE Member Posts: 798

    yes, its funny. I went 4 dwights perkless once at rank 1 it was a blast

  • MegMain98
    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,919

    If I’m in the mood and if it is a character I have leveled up. Most of the time I pick a completely different outfit though unless I’m goofing around and don’t care.

  • MadArtillery
    MadArtillery Member Posts: 826

    Given how hard it is to get a full perk set not very often. I don't have many characters at all with perk slots let alone perks. Game pretty much forces having mains.

  • Dwight_Fairfield
    Dwight_Fairfield Member Posts: 7,093

    If it ain't Dwight it ain't right.

    I will never abandon Dweet just to fit in with the rest of a lobby.

  • csandman1977
    csandman1977 Member Posts: 2,358

    Thats fine. As survivor i will always abandon dweets! Lol

  • LALYTHIA
    LALYTHIA Member Posts: 1,656

    Yep. Especially if they are all dressed the same. Its nice to have a little fun. Even if it means inadvertently getting tunneled. LOL

  • Awakey

    As long as it's one of my 3 leveled up characters.

    If everyone is the same Survivor with the same cosmetics and I have those cosmetics, then yes. Did this once against a Hag with a full lobby of Claudettes. On a farm map.

    Poor Hag didn't know who to go for half the time. Unfortunately, only I escaped through the hatch. I think we only had 2 gens left.

    Yo dwight why'd you drug your boss ######### man. I got you level 50 and you never thought to tell me that?

  • Zaonhort
    Zaonhort Member Posts: 101

    Of course. The real question is, if everyone changes to the same character what is the group called? All Fengs? Feng Geng. All Kates? Kate Conglomerate. Any other good ones?

    I don't want to spoil my story, but I promise you it was a lot more innocent than it seems in the video. My lore will explain all, and show you my boss was an evil corrupt a-hole.

    Depending on the survivor or daily i need to do. If it is a survivor i like and have the perks i want then usually yes. If i have a daily or challenge that i don't need to do then also yes

    Sometimes. I won't swap to Claudette, cause that's just mean. No killer should have to deal with Four Claudettes.

    But I've swapped to Nancy before. And I've seen others swap to Meg. Always find it kind of funny when I run into another Meg who wears the EXACT same outfit I do (since it's a mix-and-match outfit). I guess it's pretty popular though. I think I saw it somewhere else first, and went with it when I had some extra Auric cells.

  • csandman1977
    csandman1977 Member Posts: 2,358

    Hell no! Lol. I started playing this game as killer. That makes me wholly biased against claudette. If i do play her, i have nice purple pants and white shirt. And when this rift is done ill have a golden dress to not blend in with!

    Yes, yes I do.

    As long as I own the character and have decent perks on them.

    Today I joined a lobby and saw 2 Kate's wearing the rift cosmetics from tome 2, so I put on the same cosmetics.

    Unfortunately 1 of us didn't make it out alive :(
