    Check basement thoroughly.

    Yes you do get a penalty. Pretty sure you can report them though.

    You will get a penalty. Best advice circle gens, then start searching rest of the map. Or go afk

    Yes, you will. Are you patrolling generators? If not, you can always sit idle and let them repair them then open the exit gate. Terrible solution I know, but BHVR seemingly doesn’t care about this issue enough.

    Alternatively, count your losses and DC.

    yup , eyes getting a bit dry patrolling & checking lockers

    keep going afk in the hope they'll do the gens & leave

    record the match.

    then report the people holding your hostage ingame and keep their profiles open.

    then contact Support (here: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us ) and submit a ticket in which you include all needed information from their profiles, as well as attaching the video you took as evidence of them holding you hostage.

    The match will count as a loss, you will not gain any bloodpoints and you will receive a 5 minute matchmaking penalty, I've been in this situation a couple times and I say just cut your losses and dc.

    profiles unviewable , such a weird way to play the game

    terrible tbh , surely there must be some way of preventing this ? Had a few attempts before to hostage the game , but never with 2 players still in game ( being on the dark swamp map ain't helping )

    It used to be way worse before hatch rework, but I agree, it shouldn't be possible for a game to last longer than 30 minutes at the very most.

    Take video evidence. After about 15 min of their inactivity you can dc (you will get a penalty) and report them in the post match. Then send a ticket with footage.

    I think this is a fundamental issue in the game itself, if there are 3 gens left and only 2 survivors they’ll know it’s over, but instead of just giving you the easy win they’ll drag it out.

    if the devs made it a little easier when there are 2 survivors and 3 or more gens they’d probably be more inclined to keep playing.

    Ive had it a few times and I usually find them in a locker in the basement just fyi when they do, I’ve nothing against them though as killers can do similar, it’s just bad game mechanics.

    This game really needs a timer to force the match to end at 25 or 30 minutes. If you're stubborn and don't want to lose your BP, you can walk away and make a sandwich while the survivors entertain themselves crouching in corners.

    Everyone else already answered your question, so I just want to say one thing.

    It honestly baffles me that we still don't have a time limit. No game should last longer than 30 minutes, but honestly even after 20 minutes I usually just want to move on to the next game. I wonder if the devs are worried it might occasionally end a good game prematurely. Even if that is the case, there is still no reason not to limit a game to an hour at max. Not a single person, including the devs, can argue that its reasonable for a game to last more than an hour.

    just DC and report them

    Baffles my mind why they haven’t dealt with this, it wouldn’t be that hard. Just make it so if the survivor doesn’t work on generators for about three minutes they die instantly like when the timer runs out at end game. They can make it lore friendly. They could get a warning, something like “the entity is displeased with you and will kill you if you don’t start working on the generators”
