First game on today: all 4 had flashlights making constant saves and no hooks or kills
end game: GG 2EZ WP 2Quick.
Yeah, people like that make survivors seem like D-Bags.
Couldn't dodge the beams at all when 4 people run flashlights

Look at the wall when picking them up take a look around before you pick them up.
If out in the open don't be quick to go for the pick up bait them out look around.
If you seen them all with flashlights why didn't you use lightborn?

If you see two or more flashlights, equip Lightborn or Franklin's Demise. It ruins their time and makes things easier for you. If you opt for Lightborn, pretend you don't have it equipped by turning your head to the side every time they try to blind you. This way, they will just think they're screwing it up and will keep trying, wasting more time.

"Look at the wall" that's not a solution. I got blinded and they got the save even when I was looking at the wall.
You should run lightborn if you see 2-4 flashlights. Check their profile and if you don't like to play against swf leave the lobby.

Well then unlock it😂 it's a hillbilly perk

Lightborn or franklins becomes a must. I had a game similar last night when I was playing executioner but for some reason I decided to not run either. When I was able to avoid the blinding, they would group up and make it hard to impossible to hook. Fortunately, I was playing PH so I was able to counter that with his powers.
when they were blocking, they would run away if I hit them and heal under a CoH. Made the game stressful until I pulled my head out of my ass. It can be stressful for sure. Survivors with a plan can really make it hard to play killer.

Make sure the coast is clear before picking up.
I did say that in my comment or did you not finish reading it?

When I have multiple people trying to flashlight me I slug instead of picking the person up. Smack or down a flashlighter or two and they run away, giving you time to pick one up for the hook.

But your spending the points to get a perk that will help you in that situation.
Or you could wait for it to pop up in the shrine of secrets.

When their add-ons are the best you have no chance using walls. That's just a lie thinking walls are saving you. Or if they jump in lockers. You either grab him and got blinded, either leave him and chase the ones that are around and repeat.

Just unlock lightborn and forget about fk walls. It's a waste of time to look around if there's someone for flashlight save, more time for them to finish gens.

Remember killers, practice safe sacrifices, don't forget your sunglasses

Dude I'm trying to help if you don't want it fine that's you I'm not going to get in argument.
But your the one that keeps falling for these tactics stop taking the game seriously you'll see that you'll start to play better.

I run Lightborn 100% of the time because too often looking at a wall doesn't work.
If I don't have Lightborn and someone gets off my shoulder due to a flashlight save, I just start slugging and I don't hook anyone until the flashlighter is on the ground. Sometimes, I get everyone on the ground before I hook, and even then I might just let them all bleed out, depends on my mood. Slugging when there's a flashlight and I don't have Lightborn is my go-to counter.

Who's taking the game seriously lol. I don't give a ######### about it. If I did I would just DC like others do when a survivor get a pallet save or flashlight save

Then keep getting blinded by flashlights. Lightborn is a must perk especially if your going up against 2+ flashlight squads. I have Nurse's Callong but dont okay Nurse because I wanted the perk

Don't do it for the character, do it for the perk. It's worth it. Not to mention his other perk, tinkerer, is very powerfull. Just bite the bullet, you won't regret it.

Lots of SWF will genrush and leave if they face a killer that actually gives them trouble, they'll start farming and clowning on you if they feel safe.
They know the game is stacked in their favour and will abuse it. If you're a somewhat casual player dodge lobbies with obvious bully squads or use Lightborn. You need full meta builds, top tier killers and thousands of hours to cope with all the BS they can throw at you.
Dodge/DC/AFK/Tunnel/Camp/Play normally. Do whatever you feel you gotta do man. Don't play M1 killers though.

Imagine having the answer right at your fingertips and.... voluntarily ignoring it.
You only have to get Hillbilly to 40, then never touch him again. It's not even like you have to BUY him separately, he came with the game. Clearly this isn't actually a thread-worthy issue for you if you aren't willing to unlock a perk to counter it.

Well you could have fooled me.
But GGEZ 😂

I mean these kind of groups are usually pretty easy to deal with. If you have a wall, pick up the downed survivor. if you dont, slug em'.
Theyre usually pretty thirsty for flashlight saves so gens are usually pretty slow which allows you to snowball quite easily.

Oh silly GBK slugging is when the Killer places slugs on the Survivor's heads to laugh at them and torture them.....pfffft Dosnt know what Slugging is....hahaha.

I wish I had enough skill,played 10 games since yesterday and I think I got 2 k and a few hooks out of all 10.celebrating beating me is like Alabama celebrating beating a high school team.

It's mostly your fault if you allow yourself to get blinded. It's okay maybe once-twice per trial but if you know they will go for it and u still pick up then yeah....
The first thing is that the moment you saw 4 flashlights in the lobby you should have prepared the strategy around it, just bait them out, slug the person, hit another one, and use that to your advantage. Flashlights worked in my favour as a killer so many times because people want to get it no matter what.
The second thing is to always make sure to check your surroundings and make sure to turn around to the weirdest angle you can to prevent it.
Like complaining about flashlights when they could have brought 4 med-kits or brand new parts is really funny considering how weak they are in comparison to those.

The duality of this forum. A couple of weeks ago we had several threads that demanded a lightborn nerf and now that a new player struggles without it, everyone insists on unlocking it.
Fact is, sometimes you simply can't prepare against a SWF flashlight squad. Simply because they might last second switch and equipping it just in case wastes a precious perk slot on a otherwise useless perk.

Don't play them, leave them in the lobby.

Not only that, if they're coordinated they won't go down near walls anyway.

Leveling Billy was the best decision I ever made besides that one time I almost went to jail. High praise to Billy.

My advice is to bring in lightborn if you see 2 or more flashlights
0 -
Well that sucks but then you are not good enough and tbh dont need really lightborn or franklins i mean it makes it easy but tbh most of those flashlight andys are bad at the game so yeah better luck next time
0 -
look at a wall. if you still see your self getting blinded a lot try running lightborn, or better yet, franklin's demise

"I don't take this game serious. I don't DC and all that stuff".
People who don't care disconnected because they ignore the penalty and the fun of the other players. You even made a discussion in this forum so you definitely care A LOT.
