High Skill Survivor Opinions Needed

What's stopping the Killer from generator camping the three generators within the blue circle at the start of the game?

    Asking cause I don't know how to counter it

    Nothing really. If the Killer is set on a three gen strat then he will not move from this position. Most Killers can be baited or even tilted enough to give in and chase the Survivors. But as I said if he is dedicated to that strat, then there is not much you can do except have three gens being worked on constantly, while stopping any regression asap.

    Is this how killers play in higher ranks normally?

    Nothing if they're that dedicated.

    Get each of the survivors repair all the gens in that circle. It'll be tough, but its the only way.

    Just depends on the game and how the Killer wants to play. If I am playing a game and the Survivors are slamming gens quickly and end up leaving three gens close together I will switch to a three gen strat if I am dedicated to getting a 4k that game. My only advice would be to try and get a lay of the land at the start of a game. If you see three gens next to each other, try and at least take out one of them straight off the bat to increase gen proximity.

  • You can avoid it by identifying gens close to each other and spread completed gens out early game to avoid this late game.

    If killer does it early game though then survivors just need to spread out and each work on a seperate gen, killer can only protect 1 at a time and leave 2 open to be worked on so just rotate and you will eventually get the gens.

    What if they run overcharge+unnerving?

    That's what i do as a killer >: )
    If u are swf then locate the gens and pop the ones which are close to other ones.
    If u are solo do the same and pray for the other survivors to repair the gens in the correct order and place.
    Edit: just realized someone said something similar already

    Survivors, killers don't have a team to patrol gens with, two on one and two on another, poke them till it's broken up. Only 5 needs to get done, so if 1 of the three gets done it breaks it up cause there are 4 far from the close 2. Also run deja vu then if you're scared of that but survivors should look to break those gens up asap.

    Get good at skill checks, practice, even with ogrecharge and unnerving, the killer cannot be everywhere at once. The fact that the killer can't be everywhere at once stops this tactic. Many doctors try it and fail against smart survivors. As long as you remember there is 1 killer and 4 survivors you will be fine.

    nothing they just dont or forget while chasing a survivor a good swf group relizes this weakness and goes to far away gens so when the end comes then the gens are far away. if you only camp the three gens without chasing survivors and keep hitting them and breaking the gens it will work but eventually you will chase and hook a survivor and they will get a gen done

    You are 4 survivors, there is only one killer.
    Since he is not gonna leave the area, you can just continue tapping gens until they are done eventually, not that the killer needs a lot longer to kick the gen and again, you are in a 1vs4

    Hello there, fellow Survivormains!
    i, as a survivormain, think, that us survivormains, like i definitely am, should always make loud noise! also, true survivormains like me know, that pallets are bad! If you wanna become a great survivormain, like me, always make loud noise and ignore pallets!

    the perfect disguise!
    (now i want a picture of the Trapper wearing a Dwight mask, saying he's a survivormain...)

    Stay mindful of where the gens pop and try to spread the gens. If the killer is safe guarding your gonna have to tap them and watch for a patrol pattern.

    Try and identify this as early as possible. Bring 3 players and all work on it, get one player to bait the killer. If they're really that focused then all survivors should work on separate ones.

    I typically try to get the hardest gens out of the way, and if I notice gens that are grouped together, I’ll do one and move to a farther away gen to avoid the three gen strat. Never really seen a killer just patrol three gens off the bat. All it takes is a survivor leading them away, and if they take the bait or not.
