The Counter To Camping Has Been Here All Along
Camping is very easy to counter. You deal with it the exact same way as a hatch standoff.
Ive had the game just shy of a month and I already figured this out people. Stop crying and use your brain. Killers don’t need another nerf of any kind whatsoever.

that doesnt stop the tunneling afterward and there is nothing wrong with camping if anything it helps survivors more than the killer

I usually wait for the hands to go up when they are unhooking to be sure i get a grab instead of hit, then drop them on the ground and keep camping.
Only end game though, when exit gates are powered/powering.2 -
Tunneling doesn’t exist. If you can’t lose the killer than that’s your fault. If your team doesn’t mosquito the killer, that’s on your team. It’s not hard at all. There’s four of you and you are ridiculously strong when together.2

It’s not that simple. They can use flashlights and surround you, making sure you’re blind from every angle. They can snatch control away even just one of them can ensure the save.Terrortot said:I usually wait for the hands to go up when they are unhooking to be sure i get a grab instead of hit, then drop them on the ground and keep camping.

They have so many utilities at their disposal. They need to stop whining about a 2 year old problem that no one seems to have managed a solution for. Well, here it is. It works.
Plus if you DO get the grab, they can just unhook and block. Once again, you’ve lost control of the situation because you didn’t time something right or think it through before acting.0 -
Compared to just gen rushing and completely punishing the camper. Your idea has way more risks than rewards. Although this is viable if the exit gates are open and exposed isn't on the table.2

That's not a news flash. You can't exactly go for it while expecting every single survivor to know what you are thinking.

They can only blind you from 3 angles actually. And if you are looking down at the hooked victim, there is nothing they can do to blind you aside from firecrackers. If you do grab someone, you have them on your shoulder in time to hit the unhooked survivor as soon as they get on the ground, then get two more hits in on the blocking/healing survs with some time left to hook the person on your shoulder. I have gotten multiple 4ks at the exit gates because survs just refused to leave the hooked one and cut their lossesDarkWo1f997 said:

This is the exact opposite of what survivors should do against a camper. They should spread out and work on different generators. That is how you punish a camper.... not by feeding them.

So, your solution to camping is to do exactly what most killer mains on here say is the reason why they camp.

Didn't they JUST make it so you could cancel un-hooking attempts? Thought I saw that in the 2.2 patch notes.

You've barely had this game a month and you're acting lile you're an expert. Just stop lmao.

The best counter is for the Survivors to continue doing gens if someone is being camped. Sucks for the guy on the hook but it also sucks for the Killer, as it will be an easy win/pip for the three survivors3 -

I mean I’m referring to the escape phase, and where did I say I know more than everyone else? You assume the worst in my intentions. There’s a lot of crying on the forums about camping and all I’m trying to do is show that there are ways to combat it but it all comes down to wit.OXY said:

I dont know how this survivor empowerment started, I don’t understand the logic of it. I just want people to actually try new things before crying on here.
If killers get as much as one more nerf, it’s going to be really bad for the entire community.
I get that you have your reasons for disagreeing, but a lot of people flat out give up because a killer is close to the hook, and it’s like if you’re not even going to try anything then why come to the forums and declare it an issue?
Its happening too too often for it to be ignored. A good majority of the community truly believes that there isn’t a way around it. Playing survivor is a gamble on living, not a guarantee.0 -

Camping is very easy to counter. You deal with it the exact same way as a hatch standoff.Everyone just swarms the hook, and cancel unhook attempts until the killer strikes someone, that guy bolts and while the killer is on cooldown someone else unhooks and absolutely everyone gets away.

They rarely do it because it's quite risky and i would advise it only when the gates are open and someone has BT.0 -
But if no one does gens except you it's pretty much gg. Most of the time as a solo I end up a black sheep with 3-man swfs. People talk about gen rushing but in at least 70% of my games survivors hardly do any.0

Only noobs cry about camping on here along with the same bunch that cry about looping survivors, the game is balanced for the most part but people just don’t want to admit it or change their play style at all they think they should be able to do what they want and still always win. I’m gonna laugh my ass off when the new game modes getting released turn out to be bot survivors and killers for all the cry babiesDarkWo1f997 said:

I camp occasionally and still get a 4k.0

OP is obviously playing at high ranks. If i'm playing killer and camping some idiot survivor, I am getting AT LEAST that kill. If they swarm the hook and fake unhook and stuff, i just pull them off and drop them. Its a mindgame that only works when you play someone who sucks.

Tunneling doesn’t exist.Yea tunneling certainly does exist. It's a legit tactic survivor strongly dislike though. Sometimes survivor's teammate force a killer to tunnel by unhooking their teammates when the killer is near. Sometimes killer's are forced to tunnel because generators are being completed too quick. Sometimes killers tunnel just because they like to tunnel. The bottom line is 3 survivors is much easier to deal with than 4.
If survivor's don't like it, well, sorry about your bad luck I don't like you doing generators so I guess we are even. Your teammates should unhook you when I'm not even 20 meters away. Lol, what do you want me to do, purposely skip the injured guy to avoid being called names and potentially lose?

No it isn't. If the killer camps, the survivors can punish it by repairing gens. If the survivors rush in anyway, then it's their fault if they get rolled.

Now serving "Camping" post number #1467.

Just play good killers as Nurse or Billy and you will not have these problems.
There is no counter for camping and tunneling a survivor. It's not fun for the survivor and everyone to camp, so yeah, camping is a big problem. Looping is also a big problem, but not as big as camping.
Also, when the killer says "GG" and he only camped during the game, it's a little funny..
EDIT: When I say camp it's obvious camp and face camp.0 -

In the end, the only people who are able to coordinate it like that are SWF lobbies and nobody likes those, because they can't behave themselves most of the time and tbag when they think they accomplished something

There is no need for a "Counter to Camping" because Camping Is Not a Problem. The devs have said as much, on multiple occassions. As multiple people have already said in this thread, the way to counter camping is doing gens. If more people would simply do this instead of throwing themselves at the hook for those tasty altruism points, you'd see far less camping.
