AFK Pig....

I was playing a custom match with my friends and then my friend was guarding the jigsaw box. It was a horrifying experience and literally I know why that they had a add-on so they can let other survivors suffer.


I just know that AFK Pigs won't let you get in the jigsaw box for a reason and then that add-on just makes it even more worse. The matter of the fact that it can be a joke or they just desperate for a kill but they probably don't know how to the main objective that they can hook survivors for more bloodpoints.


When that happens in a real match then you'll know that the only thing you gonna see is some angry survivors and then I don't wanna deal with that. I'm glad that a custom match was fun but the main problem is that in the real matches is the AFK Pig and then they rage quit or they go into the endgame chat or dms and then they spread of lovely-dovely messages that is totally friendly.

    afk pig can only really be played if you want to mine DCs and salt and have your inbox overloaded with self-harm requests. It's generally too inconsistent, you need Rancor as well as a yellow mori to even have a chance of averaging a 50% kill rate with it.

    You also need to spend copious amounts of BPs to stock up on Iri addons for matches where you wont even make your money back.

    AFK Pig strat underlines a larger problem with jigsaw boxes. If the survivor is unlucky, a pig can easily camp a box and make the survivor unable to do anything. I think that talking about it is a good thing... because it is also an opportunity to talk about how survivors getting their headtraps off first try isn't fair; exactly like a Pig able to easily camp a box. There is an easy way to fix both issues at the same time: survivors have to do four boxes everytime, but five boxes spawn instead of four.

    Interesting idea, but having to do 4 boxes every time is way too much. 2 or 3 box searches would be more reasonable.

    I think Pig has enough slowdown (even if it is currently rng), she needs improvements on her ambush.

    It's a strat. Pig is weak, leave her alone.

    Four boxes isn't too much time wise. When they reworked her add-ons they made sure that the survivors had time to do all four with every add-on combinations... even if the survivors get interrupted multiple times. I never have any problem doing four boxes... unless the Pig i face get lucky and knows that it is my last box. This is the only thing that bothers me when i get to the fourth one. Not "do i have time?", but "don't understand please....".

    I mean, 4 boxes on RPD, you literally can't get to every single one because of how freaking trash the layout of that map is

    No one should be banned for it, but not a single person on earth should be surprised if (more like when, if you ask me) it gets changed either.

    And while I've only encountered it once, they sure didn't seem like they were doing it for any other reason than to "play for salt" to me. By some miracle the team (pretty sure it was duo + solo + solo) actually 99d gens and got all but one trap off, and the last got hatch. Pig made sure to cry about "autist swf" in end game chat, guess that was not the outcome they hoped for 😔

    Except that with five boxes on the map, it makes doing four boxes easier since you have boxes that can be closer to each other. At worse it is a map problem... that can be easily fixed by reworking box spreadout.

    I would be careful how hard you wanna worship that screen while saying "Period", unless you think everyone that has ever DC'd out of a game early should be banned.

    Pig boxes aren't doing anything they aren't supposed to. There's no exploit, and you won't get banned for idling, either.

    We're all just going to have to wait for Pig changes.

    "Period." is used to denote a hard stance. Which you said about banning.


    And you did it quoting a screen that also mentions DCs and Ragequits.


    So I'd be careful how serious you wanna worship that screen if you really think about what percentage of the DBD population that hard stance would ban.

    What they need to do is either create a boundry that the pig cannot cross or change the boxes so they work like the cage of attonement

    I hope they acknowledge this in a future dev update or something it's something that should be removed

    It is funny, once or twice. Mostly cuz you're thinking of the best perks to use with such a strat.

    Or when showing it to your friends...

    if no one enjoys it then it would naturally die down in popularity there is no reason to remove it

    No, having to do four boxes every time would guarantee a 4K with certain addons.


    IMO, the best way is to make it so the 1st box you check has a 25% chance. 2nd Box has a 50% chance. 3rd has a 75% chance, and the fourth has a 100% chance. This way, if you manage to check all four boxes, you are guaranteed to get your trap off, but the slowdown perks work for Pig, and as a Pig player nothing is more annoying than survivors getting lucky and having all four traps off in under 30 seconds because they all just happened to spawn next to the single box that opens their trap.

  • Faulds

    It isn't a guaranteed 4K with any add-ons. They made sure that survivors could do four box searches with any add-on combinations and while being interrupted multiple times... after the add-on pass. And actually having a choice between two boxes on your last search would make not dying to the timer way more easier.

    As a Pig player that regularly gets reverse bear trap kills on survivors I'm not even bothering to chase or interrupt, I beg to differ. Crate of Gears and Tampered Timer (hell just Tampered Timer) gets me kills all the time... because there is NOT enough time to search 4 boxes with those addon combinations unless you have a very small map.


    Oh also Tampered TImer and Jigsaw's Annotated Plan... I absolutely love when someone has an active trap and his friends are still popping generators... then SNAP in only 1:50 when he thought he had 2:40.

    As a Pig player who has gotten many kills from people unable to get the trap off because there wasn't enough time in the match, I beg to differ. Tampered Timer plus Crate of Gears is one combo that unless it's a small map, you're not checking all four boxes. Tampered Timer and Jigsaw's Annotated Plan is another nasty combo. Really TBH Tampered Timer is the big problem, but even running Crate of Gears and Jigsaw's Annotated Plan together can be nasty if survivors don't get their traps off in the first few boxes, especially if their friends are still working on generators while they have an active trap.
