What the hell is wrong with Borrowed Time?
There are so many times where I get taken off the hook and Borrowed Time just DOES NOT ACTIVATE at all. So of course I die when the exit gates are open or I just get hooked for the third time 3 minutes into the game because everybody in this game tunnels and camps.

Certain killers / perks can negate it friend. You might think you should trigger it because the killer is near the unhook, but if the killer removes, hides or shortens his terror radius, then it won’t trigger. Killers benefit from hiding terror radius, so a lot have builds or natural killer powers that can work around Terror Radius and BT~

Borrowed Time has stopped working even at times where the killer is across the map chasing another survivor, it just doesn't activate sometimes.

Did you play against a Stealth Killer or Freddy? If a Stealth Killer is using their ability (cloaked Wraith, crouched Pig, Ghostface in Night Shroud), then they are Undetectable, meaning there is no Terror Radius, so BT will not activate.
Survivors who are asleep against Freddy are oblivious, meaning that they dont hear his Terror Radius, so he is free to camp, since BT will not activate as well. (Yeah, its nonsense)

The unhooker has to be in the killers terror radius. If unhooker is oblivious, like they're in dream world, or Ghostface is in stealth mode, or killer is running insidious, etc. BT won't activate.

Hey Glad to see your back!

It only works WITHIN THE TERROR RADIUS of the killer. Ya know, that heart beat you hear? If you don’t hear a heartbeat when you get unhooked or do a unhooking, you BT isn’t gunna trigger~
not meant to work across map, meant to help (not fix) a camping Killer~

Won't work if released from Pyramid cage either.

Sometime it doesn't work. I literally saw the bt icon. Then a billy just chainsaw me through it. Still have no idea how it happend.

Just to clarify, did your teammates have BT and could you hear the heartbeat?
I would also point out that getting hooked 3 times in 3 minutes has nothing to do with camping and/or tunelling. That's pretty normal given the current game speeds.

oh my god that makes so much sense now, i read the BT description before but i guess i never really focused on that part

Although still sometimes it won't activate within the terror radius. One time a deathslinger tunneled my friend when the exit gates were open

Deathslingers terror radius is stupid small and he even has an add on to eliminate it completely when he has his gun aimed so there's times he can literally be in the same room as you and you'll still be outside his terror radius because bs

Beware of Tier 1 Mikey: he has no Terror Radius. I like to play entire matches in Tier 1, and if I'm chasing a survivor and they decide to go for a hook save mid-chase anyway, I'll damn well down the unhooked person (and usually leave them for someone else to pick up, I'm not a monster) just to take away the very undeserved safe hook save.
Borrowed Time will also not activate if you're asleep when up against Freddy; he technically does not have a Terror Radius when the survivor is asleep. Borrowed Time won't activate if you make a hook save and then the Hag teleports to the trap that triggered next to the hook. Borrowed Time won't activate if the Spirit doesn't phase on top of you until after the person is pulled off the hook. Some killers can make their Terror Radius super tiny or nonexistent with perks and add-ons. There may be a glitch where sometimes Borrowed Time doesn't activate when it should (a glitch in DbD?! the shock!) but there are a lot of times it won't trigger by design. If you don't hear the killer's heartbeat, Borrowed Time isn't going to trigger.
If you play and have instances where it's definitely not working as intended, try to record those instances and submit them in bug reports.

Some testing for my group tonight shows it's not 100% reliable. I appreciate the ideas about terror radius and oblivious, but sometimes it just don't do what it should do now.
