EGC Gates Opening Question

Okay, haven't played in a while and started again today thanks to cross-play and being able to finally play killer on PC again without waiting forever.

Anyway, the survivors were down to two gens left and I snowballed them as Ghostface. Hooked three, the entity took them, and then I closed the hatch. Was chasing the final survivor, lost them, and then found the exit gates opened and them escaping.

How did they open the exit gates during an EGC started by closing the hatch? What item am I forgetting?

    When you close the hatch all the gens get instantly powered up, allowing the last survivor to open the exit gate.

    Are you dumb or something, cause if you're saying what I think you are just what. You can always open an exit gate during any egc.

    Was it always like that? Because this was the first time that ever happened to me. Guess I found the last guy soon enough in past games.

    No it was added a while back when EGC was introduced. Most killers wait at hatch and when they see the survivor they close the hatch in front of their face to kill them. On the other hand, survivors sometimes wait at exit gates until the hatch gets closed so they can start powering up the exit gates. Hope that clarifies some things!

    Gotcha, thanks. Never had them open a gate during EGC before, guess I was lucky in finding them before then. But I don't play DbD regularly either (therefore, obviously low ranks and why I never post about balance this or that at the forums), so probably just not often enough to have had it happen.

    He asked a question, not to be insulted.

    Is there really any need for people to be insulting this guy for asking a simple question?

    It is entirely plausible that someone has come back to the game and might find some things have changed or discover something they didn't notice the first time round.

    Geez, the desire to be d**ks to each other on this forum is astounding, people find the most absurd reasons to belittle someone, are egos that fragile that they need this constant upkeep of bringing someone down for no good reason?

    Yeah, closing the hatch powers the exit gates because... Fairness, I guess. Otherwise why even not DC. You would have no hope of escaping otherwise.

    Sorry for people being so rude on here, I'm glad your back!

    @Ghouled_Mojo @SoylentPixie @SCP_FOR_DBD Eh, don't worry about it guys. I hang around these forums enough to know that we have entirely too many children here. I expected those responses when posted the question. It doesn't shock nor bother me. 🤣
