Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

When it is easy and convenient for me to tunnel

When:

  • Your teammates save you when I am close without BT
  • Your teammates don't take a hit for you when saving while I am close

Or

  • You put yourself in a bad spot or a dead zone
  • When you run at me with BT without DS (Why? Just follow your teammate and run if I am within 24 meters, by the time you get to me, you will have 6 seconds left for BT which I can just wait out)

This does not make me "tunneling trash". If anything, you should be crying to your fellow survivors because they are the reason you were tunneled hard. Why would I not tunnel? If I see that I can tunnel to get the upper hand, does that not make me skillful since I am getting out a survivor as quick as I can?

Saying negative things about tunneling is like saying "trash survivors only working on their objective".

    Making this thread after also having made a thread about how DS is too strong and needs a nerf...? 🤨


    Some of the examples you listed make sense (trying to force a BT hit, running in the same direction as the other survivor/getting in the way while you're trying to chase the other person, etc.) but a couple of the rest are just actual tunneling. You do you, but nobody enjoys not being given a moment to breathe or being punished for their teammates :/

    Some survivors ARE asking for it for the way they play after the unhook but getting chased into a dead zone doesn't really fall under the "asking for it" category, imo

    I go out of my way to avoid tunneling people and they think I can't see them go for the flashlight by a baited pickup miss and get back on the hook

    I feel like survivors without bt are like get off the hook you look silly up there

    Killers that play for fun when survivors "I'm fluent in 1000 ways of kicking your ass"

    I don't always do it though. If there is a baby survivor, I will let them live for a little while longer. When it does get boring though, I switch over to survivor.

    DS is an anti-tunnel perk, that gives way more value than an anti-tunnel perk should be giving. This can also stack on four different survivors for a full minute of protection to do whatever you want.

    It may be actual tunneling, but it is beneficial to me when playing killer. The survivor also had the chance to run to a safer part of the map, so I see it as punishing them for being in the wrong place at the wrong time if I am close by when they had the chance to run. I didn't mean a survivor should get tunneled because they messed up. For example, if I am close and I see you sneak behind a z wall on the edge of the map, I would go after the person and slug. I know it seems harsh, but I like to get as many kills as I can when playing killer. Sometimes that means tunneling a survivor. However, I don't go out of my way to tunnel.

    lol that can be true, but survivors aren't always out to get you

    No, I was just sharing something more personal to get a message out. It may have fallen a little flat, but what I probably should have said to sum it up was that it isn't the killer's fault for tunneling and it doesn't make them "trash". It is a common salt comment in the end game chat.

    If you don't care about it, why bother commenting?

    My favorite people to tunnel are the ones who use DS as a weapon. If i eat your decisive strike because you're using it to get an unsafe unhook or work on a gen and i dont feel like i tunnelled you, now that ive been punished for it already i may as well tunnel you out.

    I get the feeling that survivors get really upset when a killer realizes that 1v3 is much better for them than 1v4. There are multiple legit reasons to tunnel, not all of them are bad manners. I had a challenge to kill the obsession with my hands while running Rancor. I equipped a Mori and you bet I tunneled him. When a survivor teammate unhooks you RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME without BT and you RUN RIGHT AT ME yeah, I'm gonna get the down and another hook. When I've left the hook and two minutes later your injured ass runs right out from behind a wall on the other side of the map and I smack you, I'm not tunneling you.

    In all seriousness, I really don't see the difference between a killer tunneling a survivor and survivors gen-rushing. It's getting the objectives done a certain way in a certain order. I am truly open to someone explaining to me the difference.

    Yeah I get what you're saying, but you choose to tunnel you could of went after someone else but you didn't. It doesn't making them trash but it doesn't make them good either

    why bother commenting?

    Because I have to

    My main gripe about tunneling whiners is this extremely common scenario:


    Green Reindeer Hoodie Feng runs into the open.

    I down her and hook her. I then leave her. She gets saved by a friend.

    Green Reindeer Hoodie Feng runs out into the open AGAIN.

    I down her and hook her.


    Look, it isn't my fault that this particular Feng is an attention-seeking idiot and the rest of her team are ninjas with better hiding skills. That does not make me a "trash killer".

    It'll kill a survivor quick, for sure, but it'll cut your points as well.

    That's why I don't like to do it.

    All those situations are fine. It's honestly funny though how many run at you with BT then are shocked when you know they have it and wait it out lol. I mean any killer with more than 50 hours in the game knows you either have BT or you're really bad at the game, but either way you deserve to go down.

    Those first two situations. Yes, it’s the teammates fault, but I still try to avoid hitting the unhooked survivor.

    Once upon a match, I discovered how it feels to get unhooked in front of the Killer without BT, then the Killer positions themselves on my side and downs me. The process repeats until death. (Teammate kept unhooking me as soon as I got on hook).

    That was a 5 minute match, if that.

    Sure, it’s beneficial and a Killer is gonna kill. But, I wouldn’t want anyone to experience that scenario above.

    It is also satisfying to kill whoever tries to pull the locker thing with DS only to annoy you.
