What do you do to counter immersed players.

Like I just had a game against 4 claudettes on dead dawg where the longest chase was 13 seconds and most of them were like 7 but the issue was I couldnt find anyone. Literally my only info perk is rancor cause thats all the bloodweb gave me. How do you deal with stealth because it is like the main thing I am struggling with. When I find people I down them pretty quick but my issue is just finding people.

    Practice. I wish I could offer you a better answer, but you just get better and hunting over time to the point where they can't avoid you forever.

    Like a lot of my games I dont struggle as bad but its the games where all the survivors are like going into the game with their only plan being to stealth with 4 urbans 2 fixated and 4 iron wills as claudettes.

    I quite literally play Pokemon if they don't do anything. I'm grinding my team on the elite 4 so I have plenty of time

    beside certain perks?

    Analyzing crows, increasing the area I check out, checking lockers by doing so, checking typical hiding spots (bushes on dead dawg) the basement or other typical locations. increasing headset volume to track enemies by sound.

    it's helpful to have an good amount of solo survivor experience. your own exp or your exp by teammates.

    oh but once i found them I lettem bleed out. justice, you understand. just fair.

    How immersed were they? There's a difference between players who do gens but hide the second they hear the TR, and players that just crouch around the whole map. For the first, you have to identify where a survivor has been recently (gen stopped regressing or has more progress than it did when you saw it last), and then search nearby hiding spots on the principle that they couldn't have gotten far without leaving scratch marks. Proxy camping also works, because a survivor will have to come to the hook and you can get into another chase reliably. The second is way harder to deal with; the best you can do is notice that no gens have been done recently, assume all remaining survivors are in full lockdown mode, and abandon the gens to do loops around the edges of the map. Check the basement and all of its lockers, and check every corner in every structure you pass. Pay attention to crows if you're in an open map. Every once in a while, check the gens to see if your extended absence has encouraged a survivor to get back to their objectives. And if you're in a map like Dead Dawg or Yamaoka where there's thick shrubbery that can completely obscure a survivor, start praying.

    Trust me, it gets better. Learn to watch the crows. You get to where you can spot a bird taking flight from the other side of the map. You get a feeling good measure of how much was done on a Generator and KNOW that it took more than one in the time since you last checked. That means one is right behind near terrain. There are lots of helpful Perks: Whispers and Spies from the Shadows are good. Stridor is also helpful.

    I get crows and the frustrating thing is I know that they are in the general area from crows/missed skillcheck/rancor but I just waste so much time trying to find them in the area.

    Aside from perks, proxy/camp as this might be the only time you'll find them.
