if/When you play in a SWF, how do you play?

We would play regularly, the way the game is meant to be played.

We talk about whether or not it's gay to kiss the homies goodnight, sometimes we run no mither gang, and sometimes we just do our own thing.

I wear camouflage-gear and talk to my friend in codewords. At least this is how all SWFs play, according to some Killers.

In reality, I am less optimal since I am talking a lot to a friend about anything which is not DBD. Except for some Rants about teammates.

We coordinate. If you see a hex mid chase, you say where it is so someone can grab it. Soon as the killer is known, you say it. Realize they have a perk, say it. See who is going for the unhook before getting off a gen to go yourself. Occasionally, we will set up head ons to pull the killer off of someone injured.

We normally have two or three in our group, and I'm the only one decent at looping. One friend is getting better and my wife is... Well I love her. She usually gets tunneled out quick because she's not good at running the killer.

I always give props to SWF teams that play the game the way it was meant to be played. Dead by Daylight was not designed with voice chat, and the amount of communication that survivors are fed at all times just makes playing killer an absolute chore. It's one of the reasons why I avoid stealth killers at all cost, because there's zero chance of surprising survivors when they always know that you're coming.

When I play survivor with my SWF group (which can range from just me playing with one as a 2-person all the way up to a full-on 4-person group), we play optimally. We're all running variations of meta-builds (though none of us run Dead Hard, to my knowledge) -- my own build of late has been COH, Sprint Burst, DS, and Spine Chill (which Prove Thyself or WGLF/We'll Make It sometimes in place of COH). Occasionally, we'll play around with a non-toxic meme build for variety (like the time we all ran Slippery Meat/Luck Offerings/Up The Ante and everyone tried to kobe on their first hook).

As the only person in our group who plays killer regularly, I'm usually first one to call out what to look for (either with specific perks or add-ons) to my teammates, since they're not going to be familiar with them, more likely than not. We call out killer locations, hex locations, etc., and we try to stay well-coordinated during a match (who goes for a rescue, what gen to work on, etc.). I'm well aware of the huge advantage that represents -- as I said, I play killer extensively -- but I/we use the tools at our disposal in the form of the PS Chat (all but one of us is on console, and the one who isn't, is able to get onto the chat with us), just as I expect SWF's I go against as killer to do the same.

We're not toxic -- I stream the game, and doing anything along the lines of BM'ing the killer is a no-no and would get someone kicked from our group, as I don't want to promote that kind of gameplay, so no teabagging, no flashlight clicky-clicky, no vault spamming at the exit after the gates are done, etc. As the "killer" of the group, I'm usually one to stick up for certain actions by the killer that I know from my own experience is only them playing optimally as well, and over time, I've gotten far less aggravated by tunneling/camping/etc. in most situations than I did when I first started playing.

Since I'm streaming, our in-game discussion isn't 100% about the match, so in that aspect, our communication in game isn't always optimal (and while I would consider all of us "good", we're not God-tier level at the game). We do talk about other things during the course of the match other than the match itself, and there are times I'm often interacting with someone in my chat, or we flat-out call out something that isn't correct or accidentally ends up sandbagging one of our group, lol. When we have a random in our group, we play as altruistically towards them as possible, even though they're not in communication with us.

Im the player that always dies in the end saving ny friends
