Survivor Leading The Killer To Other Survivors

Saw this happen tonight. In all I have only seen this a couple of times so it may not be that common however I am am curious if anything is done when it is reported in game?

    Oh it is common... but reporting it? Why lol? Often times the surv just has an unpleasant pathing that happens to lead into a teammate.. or is last hook and is trying to get this killer off when others aren't attempting to.

    If enough folk report that player and it is proven to be malicious it would be punishable under Greifing: Intentional gameplay abuse.

    As a killer, I love when people do that because I will knock the one I was chasing or just switch off after the new one. As for reporting, hopefully what DFP said is true.

    It depends; did they do it once or multiple times throughout the match?

    Were they actively teaming with the Killer?

    Some people just may lead the Killer to you entirely on accident.

    Yea I have seen it done by accident before. This time it appeared intentional. Multiple times the survivor in question heading to the locations of the other survivors with the killer following them. I was the second survivor sacrificed and did spectate and watched it happen again to the third one leaving only the killer and survivor in question remaining. Not sure what happened at that point as I left spectator mode.

    You mean take the survivor out first that is trying to lead you to the other survivors? I like that. :P

    Had this happen to me and no, its not out of sheer luck that the survivor just happens to run into me. I remember I did 3 gens, got Ruin out of the way, everyone but me and another died, I started to play a bit more stealthy cause I got a feeling something was going on. I kept seeing the killer down the survivor, so he could see my aura, and help him get up, survivor leads him to me. We get into a chase, I lose him, he finds the other survivor again, does the same thing, survivor leads him to me again, finally gets me and hooks me to death. Then kills the remaining survivor.

    Least to say, I was not happy in that moment. Stuff like that is complete BS, esp when you're the one who did most of the work in the match. Just a garbage feeling overall.

    Unless you can prove intentional griefing, the report will likely be thrown out.

    It happens kinda often as survivor.

    I try to loop the killer and accidentally lead them to teammates that were working on a gen ._.

    probably tired of being tunneled, and especially if they were first found or it was a bad pull down or the killer seemed deadset on them they were probably trying to ditch it like a mailman tries to shake a dog off his leg. Especially if they had decent items they didn't get to use yet and wanted to live long enough to do that. I get pissed about it myself sometimes, but I never reported anybody for it since I understand they're just trying to ditch the killer. I mean as long as I haven't seen them run out, get the killer's attention, and then run them straight to me then idgaf.

    I've tried to shake off a killer that way too sometimes, did it myself tonight a few times (it's like seeing a vault opportunity appear in your fov) one of those times at least I had a green toolbox I hadn't gotten a drop of use out of yet (wanted to save it for a certain gen in case I needed to rush it) and might have been on second hook iirc (some matches I was farming wglf stacks if I ignored them for too many other matches and took risks if need be to feel I was getting enough stacks to be worth playing all day). My reflexes are bad from not playing much for months by now so i'm not too confident in my ability to shake off any killer that isn't totally new lol. I mean I had some good matches tonight, but, most of those turned out to look like new killers after the game and I lol'd thinking that figures. If it was a purple killer they'd have made me feel like a trump supporter in 2022 that's how sluggish I seemed to feel for a lot of my earlier matches today. Most of those I took that sort of opportunity in were the earlier ones I think unless I was on last hook or people seemed to not like to unhook and I had a good item.

    I wouldn't expect much unless you have video proof.

    It happens sometimes for me for both.

    As Survivor - Pregame there was someone terrible in the chat. Killers can't see it but it doesn't mean the toxic community doesn't start there. Or AFK players

    As Killer - If a survivor is just blendette heal bot in a corner or locker and the on showing me where they are want the damn game over too

    I always appreciate the help but I can't guarantee I won't it will keep you from the Entity.

    I seen a few afk players today,a nd my matches usually didn't take longer than a few minutes to come throughout the day so it shouldn't have been from forgetting theyw ere in queue (which happened to me twice in a row when theyw ere about 20 minutes at one point a month or two ago came back to see a clown mori me as the last one alive int he first one that night lmao). Not sure why I saw an afk survivor so frequently today, but it took a few of them minutes to start playing.

    I have done this once as a Survivor as a desperation move. In a match with one friend who died early due to some bad luck. We were playing on Red Forest, the one with the tall temple. Killer spots me and I immediately book it the short distance back to where I know the other two Survivors are healing each other without hesitation. It was a dick move, but better them than me. I later made it out because of a lucky hatch spawn. I still laugh about that match. To those players, yes I'm sorry. Yes I know I was an awful teammate, but this situation itself from any perspective but y'all's was hilarious.

    Mean, the goal is to catch the survivor before they get to the others but hey. If we happened to run into them. Oh well. Guess a game of smacking people is in order.

    I did this once to a really bad teammate. There was just me and them left and he had zpent more than half the game in lockers hadnt been hit once wouldnt heal anyone or do gens. When i got downed when i was on death hook and the killer was waiting out my ds i messaged them and said I'd lead them to the other guy so they could get their last stack of bbq because i was so mad. He said sure so i led him right to teammates locker so he could kill them. Killer gave me hatch too so it was kind of an awesome play since that guy threw the match for us.

    I think that most cases are accidental. I have done it myself, on occasion. I felt bad, but it was completely unintentional....and people have done it to me.

    That said, I have no doubt that some people do do it intentionally. One time I ducked into a corner when the killer was chasing another survivor and downed them near where I was hiding. The killer just stood over them. I figure that if the killer hooked them nearby I could get a quick rescue, or if the killer left them slugged I could help them recover. Instead of recovering, the survivor crawled right to me, bringing the killer with them. I was trapped in the corner and got downed easily. I still have no idea what they were thinking.

    Most of the time its unintentional especially when it comes down to really good loopers who can chain loop the killer across the map multiple times over in a game(Aka not wasting every pallet just being very smart with them + windows).

    Simply put: If the survivor is literally looping the killer around the map they will eventually lead them to you simply because you're on their extended looping route.
