How to stop your teammate from getting tunneled
In my experiences, I've found the best way to stop the killer from hard tunneling is to just go down for the person getting tunneled. Assuming you're not on death hook yourself it's better to get yourself hooked than to let any of your teammates die.
Most killers will end up picking you up if you give them a free down so use this to the team's advantage. They're also way more likely to pick you up if you've already been hooked.
Just thought I'd post this cuz most people don't understand they should be doing in this situation and either A. try to distract the killer by being toxic or B. instantly abandon the person getting tunneled.

I mean probably not but I'm just trying to get the word out there so hopefully more people will start doing it. Trust me though most of the time doing this has paid off for me.
Tbh tho I did get abandoned on hook one time when I did this tho so ig it's still risky. But if you run perks like kindred or deliverance it should be fine.

I mean, if they're actually hard tunneling then they won't down you. They'll ignore you and go for the other person anyways

Yes, please do this. I actually do this myself and I have have a positive experience with this strategy overall. They usually return the favor or I buy enough time to progress the match.

It's because you won't be able to distract them, you have to really force yourself to go down by body blocking. For example, on maps like Hawkins you can stand in a doorway to stop the killer from going through and they'll be forced to m1.

I've actually done that before and the killer just blew me off (either hit me but kept chasing the person they wanted to kill or they just ignored me as I kept trying to get in the way).
If someone wants to tunnel, they gonna tunnel.

Yeah, no. Because you know what happens? You get unhooked, and you are the one getting tunneled, and since i play solo survivor only, i know how much help you can expect from most "teammates". It took really time to learn that lesson, but after feeling betrayed by the team time and again after doing exactly things like you discribe, i usually dont to them anymore. Its not worth it.

I'll do what I can to protect the survivor being tunneled. If the killer refuses to go after anyone and continue to tunnel the poor guy, I'll switch to immersive mode and become one with the bush and make the killer waste as much time as possible looking for me. I'll slowly look for totems, take my sweet time to unlock a chest, hiding the second Spine Chill lights up, even if its for a second, only work on gens after they patrol it and move one to a different one when they come back again so they don't find me.
Yesterday I had an Oni tunnel and mori 2 teammates from the start of the match, even though I through myself at him. I went ultra Claudette mode on his ass. I had a gen at 80% and he came by and couldn't find me. He did 4 patrols until I made a mistake (got a phone call and got distracted) and when he hooked me he kept slashing at me over and over. Unfortunately for him, the Bill signaled that he found the hatch, and poor Oni never got the 4k he so wanted.

If the killer stops to kill you and hook you then he's not tunneling anyone.

Do something so heinous that the killer will tunnel you instead. Suggestions based on personal experience: Sabotage, Flashlight save, Pallet Save, Heal the tunneled survivor with For the People mid chase, Unhook with BT, Clicky Clicky, and Teabag. Bonus points for repeated actions.

It's almost like that was their goal.

False, they will indeed down you. Step over your slug and continue with the tunnel, chasing until they are pretty sure your BT has worn off. Because killers who want to play toxic and lazy are going to do so.
