  • They're a bell spamming Wraith
  • They are frequently nodding
  • They actually friend you in the lobby solely to tell you that they're farming.
  • They take you to a generator and hit it.

Unless one of these things happens, assume they're out for blood.

    I though you were supposed to walk up to them and press CTRL three times. If they nod, they want to farm, right?

    You can't. All you can do is hope they want to farm and won't NOED your ass afterward.

    If I farm with a killer I usually want them to kill me at the end. I got plenty of points farming, so I have no business being salty from dying.

    I'm a greedy little bugger so I'll try to snivel away for the 5k bonus. This being said I will be the guy encouraging hooks just to ensure BBQ activates.

    Hey man, I am just trying make clear message to everyone. That way survivors will be able to quickly identify farmers and make better uses of the limited opportunity.

    if the killer "Theoretically" farms with me to the point where i am maxed out everywhere except survival (which can happen from self care healing) i dont care if i die i will allow them to kill me. i usually "theoretically" farm as killer since i usually only play killer for forced killer rituals and then just farm. if one of them doesn't want to farm then i kill that one. all of this is all "theoretical" of course i would "Never" farm since its against the game rules.

    I have only farmed once and that was when a Survivor messaged me when I was playing as the Wraith.  I was very hesitant but I just went with it.  I got over 125k Bloodpoints from that so I could not complain.

    If I take you to a gen and hit it, then you wiggle off and run away I'll assume your new. If I take you to the gen a second time and hit it, then you wiggle off and run away I'm killing you.

    You can farm your points then leave or I can harvest that flesh for my hook, your choice.

    Hitting the gen repeatedly is pretty universal for "go ahead and do the gens".

    No guarantee they won't turn on you later though. I've done the above just so I could get the last generator done and activate Rancor :chuffed:

    I just tested this in 3 games... maybe ONE survivor understood the signals. The rest did all the gens, then t-bagged at the exit gate. Even though i was BLATANTLY not trying. I'm talking picking them, and dropping them next to gens, hitting it with my weapon (not even breaking), then picking them up until they wiggled free.

    I did this MULTIPLE times, and it was crazy how many ran away.

    The only thing on here I didn't do is message the lobby about farming. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth for some reason... maybe its a subtle concern about getting a ban.

    Last time I farmed was last bloodhunt when these SWF all sat in the basement nodding, they all brought streamers and I got 180k bp. The random Kate even joined in.

    I guess they either don't use the forums, or have just gotten used to the standard killer mindset of: ", Peace sells, but who's buying?"

    When the killer is hitting air and looking at you from a small distance. Don't trust Michael though :P

    Also when a killer chases you and misses you all the time realizing he could easily downed you several times. If a killer is that good to be constant hugging you you can as well stop running and face him standing still. Most of the time it will show a killer is friendly.

    Same with the hatch. When being last survivor if a killer doesn't really walks towards a hook just don't wiggle as he likely is carrying you to the hatch.

    They do this as a way of telling you that they don't want to farm. One time I had a 4 man swf group try reporting me for trying to farm with them. Then they also said "You try to farm, and we will gen rush then tbag and leave you with 9000 points" when they all got about 12k and only one pip. As if that is going to hurt me lol. The majority of survivors will gladly farm with you if you make it clear you are farming. One thing I do is nod and kick a gen over and over without finishing the break animation, then hit it and nod more. I also will down someone and stand by them nodding and attacking in their general direction and making motions toward them to get someone to heal them. Then nod when someone does
