Find the Hatch instantly!

Hey all,

Public service announcement!

You can find the hatch during any round prior to it actually spawning.

You can spot it by walking over the space where it eventually will spawn; there will be an invisible bump on the ground that is approximately hatch-shaped. You can find it even in the very beginning of the match; your character will appear to levitate, just a bit, as you step over it, just the way it would look if you could see the hatch. This little invisible bump is the hatch if it's not explained by other features of the ground, such as tree roots or rubble, that would cause a slight bump as you walk.

You can hear it as well, as your feet will sound as if they are walking over the hatch or metal flooring.

This is especially helpful when you know the map well and subsequently know the likeliest places for the hatch to spawn already. You can check these known spots at any point during the round, and can get an instant verification that it's there, potentially saving you time finding it at the end of the round.

As far as I can tell, you can find the hatch this way as a survivor on console or pc. Though I haven't tested to see if you can find it this way playing killer, I would assume that you can.

Enjoy!

    I remember on ps4 back in 2017...sure I could sometimes here faint whispers which sure enough signified the location of the hatch. Maybe I was imagining it.

    I thought this was a well-known bug.

    Had no idea it was common, I am fairly new the forums. It definitely has become a more prominent bug i have noticed.

    Yeah I thought this was a well known bug? I've been checking places for forever trying to find the hatch during the beginning of the game

    I don't even think this is a bug. It sounds like a limitation of Unreal Engine and their scripting routines.

    Yes! I've always noticed this, and I've always been like "Oh! This is probably the hatch!". Nice to know that it has been the hatch and not just a random wood plank bug lol.

    there not that easy to find, its just up to luck, some offerings can help. but if the killer finds it first they can close it. it most commonly spawns next to shack or main building
