    I find getting a 3k a win as killer because that means you killed the majority of players.

    3k but if I have fun with the survivors I don't really care about kills

    "Black pip"

    Honestly focusing on strictly getting kills can be stressful so since I play pretty casually I always use BBQ and Chili and make it a goal to get all 4 tokens each game. It at least shows you were able to down and hook every survivor at least once instead of feeling good about a 3k but still have one survivor who you couldn't win a single chase against

    You left out endgame score screen. If I get two kills but outscore all the survivors I consider that a close win as well.

    3k+hatch / 4k, which is pretty much the same from my perspective

    1k is a loss.

    2k is a tie.

    3k is a win.

    4k is a dominating win.

    "Black pip"

    I love playing Killer, but I always feel a bit bad if I see someone with less than 10K bloodpoints at the end of the game.

    I didn't have someone wait a loading screen just so that they could get kicked out again. Sure I know letting everyone escape might not count as "winning" to some, but as long as I hooked everyone once and just black pip, I'm pretty content.


    I don't ever intentionally try to bloodpoint farm, but I want everyone to have a fair chance, y'know? Not only to get bloodpoints, but to just have fun too.

    As a Killer, you're practically the host of the game. Give your hosts a good game.

    4k and 3k is a win, 2k is a draw.

    Killing survivors to satisfy the entity is the win condition, even indicated in the game tutorials.

    Not pipping, end of the story.

    I use what I feel might be viewed as a weird way to understand if I've won. I do it individually and then determine by the group.

    Survivor killed/sacrificed: win

    Survivor dc's before found: not counted/goes with majority

    Survivor dc's after found: counts as a win

    Survivor escapes: loss

    Then it's basically majority rules. So yeah a 3k (no dc's) or a 2k + a dc for me counts as minimum for a win.

    The only real difference between 3K and 4K is whether you want to slug or not. A survivor can escape with zero gens completed if they get lucky.

    Though I voted “3k”, my win criteria is actually a little different. If I got 8+ hooks and the match felt active, where I KNEW I was giving them trouble, then that’s a win. Even if they all escape! Really it comes down to if it was fun I guess.

    2k feels enough, survivors would also feel satisfied of the match's outcome I hope.

    "Black pip"

    I usually end up as rank 1 in killer by just playing it a bunch which at that point whether I black pip or pip up doesn't matter. I like to play meme killer builds at rank 1 and usually don't play the top tier killers so though getting 4ks as them is quite nice just not depiping is acceptable. (Clown, stealth only Ghostface, and Doctor are my mains since I really only learned how to play m1 killers and looping fairly well.)

    "Pipping up"

    pip because you can 3k by 1 hooking 3 people if you really wanted to. in order to pip you must win multiple chases, have good gen defense etc. black pip is a draw.

    3k

    I would consider a technical win a 3k. But as some of the other people who have commented, one of my main goals is to hook each player and I try to do it before I start on 2nd hooks. (I'm not rigid on that second part, just something that I prefer.) If the match was enjoyable, even if I didn't get any kills, but my points were in the middle and I had hooked everyone at least once, I would be happy with that. I've also noticed that killing toxic players isn't enjoyable. Yes, I want to kill them, yes I think they deserve it, but I don't find that fun.

    When I get "yellows" or higher and totally dominate them, I feel bad at the end when I see their rank. I know how it is to be on your first character and get smashed by a killer who has perks from all different killers. Not fun. Had I known their levels or "color" I would have gone easier on them. Mowing down higher (13 - 20) ranked individuals isn't fun.

    A match that is fun and challenging is a win in my book. (But if I get 3 or 4 kills, that's even better!)

    Honestly? 2 kills everyone been on the hook at least twice. Maybe enough points to lvl up a few pages

    Usually 3k, but if the survivors were extremely good at looping & etc I will happily take the 2k.

    Honestly, neither of these options. The real win is when I spend most of the game laughing. Whether I pip down or up doesn't matter - my only goal is to confuse/scare Survivors as much as possible. If the game ends with a Survivor saying "dude what the hell was that", I'm satisfied.
