The new Plague challenge
So I just yesterday started working on level 2 of the new Tome, and I started checking ahead on the Killer challenges.
Only to find.. this.
With a single discharge, hit 2 survivors with Corrupt Purge.
Are you kidding me?
I have enough trouble hitting 1 survivor with a single discharge, and now you want 2? Twice?
This bodes poorly.

Agreed. I am all for challenges which are actually challenges, but I think this one should be in Level 4 and not in Level 2. The other one (the Infectious Fright Challenge) is a piece of cake compared to this.
For the Plague-Challenge, I farmed, because I tried for 2 hours without having a chance to get it done. The Infectious Fright Challenge was done in my first game with Demo.

This can be done if you bring 2 apples.
Facecamp a survivor next to a pool of devotion, keep your distance and wait till they approch to a point of no return. Ingest and hope they actually unhook.
Wait for unhook and let it all out on both.
Repeat and throw the game for the challenge.

Kind of silly to design challenges around survivors playing poorly or making poor decisions. Why would survivors be grouped up that tight when Plague has Corrupt Purge?

This challenge is dumb, but it's dumb because you could literally rename it "Camp the hook with Corrupt Purge as The Plague" and it wouldn't make a difference. How this challenge wasn't thought out is baffling. There is literally no other way to reliably complete this challenge. Thanks, devs. Can't wait to be camped.

I tried doing this without camping. No luck. Have to camp the hook and hope they come for the save before your corrupt runs out.

Yeahhh, pretty much my thoughts.
I figure that the only way i'm getting this challenge is to either farm, or Insidious camp someone with Corrupt Purge and hope they fall for it twice, then let them go as an apology.

This isnt a 'challenge' it's a 100 sided dice

just farm with the survivors.

Quite clearly the person designing the challenges doesn't play the game.

Mhm, either Offer some small map run like Agitation / Iron Grasp (ah nostalgia) and go for basement every time, camp the hook, or just be a friendly killer one game..... figure the latter works out better for everyone.
I mean it's sorta "fine" at least you have agency with killer, i remember the Heroic... something Challange on survivor side (pick yourself or another downed survivor up, twice, in the same game).... good luck finding a killer willing to slug at my baby survivor rank.

Survivors never group up when I play plague unless Im lucky sometimes or they make mistake. Basically this challenge will force me to camp? Preferably nearby my devotion pool so I have power ready to hit unhooker and unhooked person like a douchebag.
And then do it again lol what is this challenge. And its in level 2, makes me wonder what upcoming tomes will be like

I havent reached this to actually tried it but when i read it i was like "oh my, this is going to be a tough one"

Ultimately it does not matter, you will have to.do. a lot of matches next to the rift challenges to complete the rift anyway so a challenge get taking a while does not matter, you are not wasting your time.
Just play with the plague, keep it in mind and it will happen eventually

That was quite easy.
Just run behind the killer who chases someone, wait for them to go down, use For The People.
You would get downed probably, but who cares.
Do it again when you get unhooked.
But, ye.. Thay was literally just throwing the game to do a challenge.

Yeah, I haven't tried it yet, but it doesn't sound great. There's another level 2 master challenge that's literally "chase three survivors." That one's more my speed.

It's basically just "Don't be AFK'.

This isn't actually too bad, I got it my first game. Just save a corrupt fountain for endgame and intentionally lose, then go to an exit gate and hit all the people teabagging with a single stream. It's best to camp a bit before hand to get 1 of the 2 multihits required but you don't have to. And survivors love to teabag at the exit gates so this is a near guarantee.

Yeah this challenge should not be in level 2 but should be in 4.
Good survivors arent going to group up anyway so its strange to base the challenge on the survivors playstyle, rather than the killers.
The survivors control this challenge not the killer

It's really dumb and encourages doing things like farming or camping, a good time all around in either case. I play plague fairly often and this just doesn't happen in any normal match. It might happen once but the survivors aren't likely to group up and follow you around when you're corrupted so they can repeat the experience.
Saying that some survivors despise plague (some of them might be emetophobes which I can sympathise with) and will just chase you around pointing at hooks. Get two of those in one game and you're set.

This has to be one of the worst challenges they have added so far. Only way you have a chance to get it is by camping hooks and hoping people are dumb enough to unhook

I actually just completed this challenge on my first try! Honestly just camp the hook lol that’s what I did.
