What do you do when the Killer is slugging the 3rd survivor and looking for you?

When 2 teammates died and the 3rd survivor is slugged and Killer is looking for you because he wants the 4K that bad, what do you try to do? Hide it and hope the hatch spawns near you or help the person that is slugged? I hide it out if the Killer is tryharding and sweating, so they don’t have a chance of the 4K (it does make me feel bad to leave the survivor slugged for 4 min :(

    Hide and wait for bleed out I guess. Move enough to avoid afk crows though but yeah sadly not much you can do.

    If you try to save the other person you'll likely just be trading positions as the killer will slug you and go after them so.. Yeah

    Either wait to spite them or just end it quickly depending on how I’m feeling

    Use -Distraction- and a anti hemmoragic needle on them and then run away leading them somewhere else until the needle picks up the other survivor

    Do everything i can to pick up the fallen soldier, no way i'm watching him die by bleeding. I will get those WGLF stack, even if i need to throw my body between my teammate and the killer.

    Hope for Unbreakable or some nice perk, maybe (if i would be good enough) CJ or flashlight-save.

    To be honest idk, i always die first :(

    the thing is...i had situations where the killer slugs the other guy, and then camps the body. i saw it and didnt come to him, so he picked up the other survivor after a time, let him go and he lead him to me. They killed me and the killer let the other one go, dispite the fact i did most gens alone and was maxed out on altruism.

    They then acted as if it was my fault, but we all know had i come to pick the other one up he would have just killed us both anyway. You cant win in this situation.

    It’s really frustrating when that happens. Happened to me multiple times but I just move on and forget it when the next games loads in

    Well, just give the killer their 4k. The probably had 4-5 miserable matches before this one and need this 4k to regain their killer instinct, lest they abandon the game because they lost all hope.

    Even though I'd recommend waiting the 4 mins out, I'd normally go and pick the survivor up. Not because I really want to but because I find it so boring when killers do this and would rather die quickly and move on.

    I've had many experiences where after looking for me for 3mins and 40 seconds, the killer will then hook the survivor, further delaying the game (if they are not on death hook). Or they'll start looking for me whilst carrying the survivor. If they wiggle off they'll quicky be downed again, rinse and repeat. It's very, very tedious.

    Either that or they just let the other survivor go and do whatever when they look for me. I've also had experiences where the survivor being slugged for some reason actually starts helping the killer find me if they do get up, as they think I'm being a bad teammate not helping them up. These situations are so infuriating, so I'd rather not experience them again.

    Me, personally I do gens and help my teammate.

    You don't get points sneaking around the map and why prolong it? If I can't get my teammate up, then I get to practice my looping

    If the killer got to that point before your team finished 5 gens. Someone screwed up or you all got out played.

    If Im slugged, I always try to add friend and chat with the 4th survivor to tell them just hide and let me bleed.

    Until the later patch, I cant no more check my teammate's page : (

    I don’t have the patience to bother doing this as killer, at that point I may as well just hook the third person and if the last gets out through hatch so be it.

    It is kind of a minor game design flaw though that not hooking the third survivor is obviously the optimal strategy to secure 4 kills. It would be nice if the devs tweaked things somehow so actually hooking the third survivor was more effective than just leaving them slugged forever.

    Hide and try not to fall asleep as the trial goes well past its expiration date

  • sizzlingmario4
    sizzlingmario4 Member Posts: 7,004

    It depends, I’ll usually try to get them up but if the killer is just lurking near the slug and never leaving/trying to bait a pickup then I just hide.

    I don’t have the patience to do this as killer unless you were toxic or sent me to haddonfield or something. I usually let last survivor escape more often than not anyways so I don’t really care if they find hatch because if they don’t I’m likely just gonna be carrying them to it.

    Depends entirely on if "looking for you" means downing them and then going to check if I'm near gens or something, or if it means "run around the slug in a 10 meter radius for 4 minutes".

    If the former, I'll probably try to pick up. If the latter, I'm gonna wait it out and I'd want any other survivor to do the same if the roles were reversed and I'm the one on the ground.

    Depends on the circumstances... But most of the times I just play normally (i won't waste my time to hide for the entire bleeding duration of the slugged survivor, I'll just try to make more points as I can and move on to the next game). As killer the times that I did it were for 2 reasons:

    1 challenges that require to kill survivors

    2 the survivors were toxic

    Walk around, hop between lockers, be quiet and cautious. Definitely not going anywhere near the slug.

    And if the killer does let them wiggle out to "find me", I will start recording the match the moment they get wiggled and report both.

    Why even slug for the 4K? Do you really want higher MMR / more stressful games?

  • Tsukah

    Give up. Let their MMR raise so they can face even more sweatlords.

    Working with the killer. It's in the game's rules and stated that it is reportable and bannable offense.

    Ask why BHVR hasn’t implemented an accelerated slug feature yet.

    I usually go and pick up the survivor.

  • sulaiman
    sulaiman Member Posts: 3,219

    The point is, as a solo survivor, you have just as much bad games. I had a game where one player dced as soon as he saw the killer, the second one just went afk, and the last survivor and i played a 2v1, and we even managed to do all 5 gens. Yet, the killer didnt cut us any slag.

    Between dc´s, hook suicide and all-out-bad teammates we are also expected to throw the game if we are one of the last 2 players? At that point, its better to stop playing.

    Depends on the match. Most times I try to pick them up.

  • TotemSeeker91

    I start walking towards the slugged survivor while pressing the crouch button, not too fast that it's considered tbagging, but fast enough so it's funny and hope the killer has mercy for the both of us, lol

    Friendly reminder to NOT wait unless another survivor is also trying hard enough TO bleed out, as killers can always repeatedly pick up that guy and search you.

  • TheSubstitute

    I always try to pick up the slugged survivors as survivor. Worst case scenario, we all bleed out. Best case scenario, I succeed or the killer 'doesn't see me'. Most likely, the killer hooks everyone and the game ends faster.

    Unless the entire team has been toxic, as killer I either hook as many as I can if I have a 3 person slug and let them be rescued or 'don't see' someone going for a save. My MMR would just go up even more than a regular win, which I view as a punishment, I would get crap BP (another punishment) and I would either not pip or possibly depip unless I'm already at Iri 1 (another punishment).

    If someone hides and waits for their team to bleed out when I'm playing killer I'll usually pick up and drop the slug(s) right before they're about to die, kill the person who was hiding, and let the rest of the survivors go. The hiding survivor can be my proxy vengeance on the survivors who left me to bleed out when I've played solo queue.

    If you're making no effort to save a slugged or hooked teammate then I'm 100% doing everything in my power to ensure you die. I'll let them go instead. At least they tried to be a good teammate.
