    I'd say look for a gen, but actively look for totems on your way and make them your primary focus over generators, especially that often (although not always) when you see corrupt in play it's a Trapper who wont be focusing on the gens/totems that much at first.

    Dont however spend 120 seconds doing nothing. The killer couldve set up for free in those 120 seconds, or possibly started a chase or two, maybe a hook or two during that time. Doing nothing is allowing the killer to do all this for free with no risks what so ever.

    the most optimal thing imo is the 4 of you just waiting it out but I would never be willing to do that

    If all 4 survivors are smart they would just crouch in a corner until it ends, but that won't happen in soloQ

    I pretty much solely play solo survivor so I usually just go find an unblock gen to work on. If one of my other teammates get caught out, I would much rather be working on a gen then hiding out.

    Corrupt is a double-edged sword for the killer

    Sometimes the only survivors they'll find will be around those gens and committing to those chases will effectively mean they didn't stop gens being done elsewhere, ideally you want to chase survivors into other survivors doing gens and that can't happen if they are blocked

    Not only that, but Corrupt can actively encourage survivors to not three gen themselves - Let's say you get a big map and you spawn in the middle and the three furthest gens from you are in 3 different corners, if survivors do the other gens and leave the corrupted ones until last you will have an extremely tough endgame if they aren't dead by then

    I don't run corrupt, I feel like it encourages bad habits and makes the early game boring - If I know where survivors are gonna be (Which with experience/perks, you typically will) then you don't really need it

    Not saying it's a bad perk, it's just a bad perk for me.

    Totem>Chest>Available Gen - in that order, applies only when no survivor has been caught yet.

    I wont actively search out a chest, but if no one is caught yet and I see an unsearched chest I will go for it before I hop on the gen.

    The moment someone gets injured the Available Gen becomes top priority to create some type of pressure, unless Hex's are involved in which I'll still attempt to search for totems.

    I'll usually look for totems and chests first, Then if the gens are still blocked I'll just go look for an unaffected gen.

    It depends on the situation. If the killer is just patrolling the unblocked gens, wait it out. If they're not, go do a gen.

    for a 4 man , wait it out

    for 3-solo just find unaffected gen

    if its a prep killer like hag or trapper, harass their traps and do a gen if they chase someone

    If you all split up the killer can only find one of you at a time, so it's worth it IMO.

    My Trapper loves it when these 4 "smart" survivors wait for Corrupt intervention to end. Please, i need more of them.
