How do you spend your time while held hostage?

Being face camped. Bleeding out on ground ground or bodyblocked in corner.



Personally my go to is doing Warhammer models or reading. I sometimes play pokemon showdown but that's to hit or miss. On timing I still play Between games tho.

Painting and preparing minis is great. Easy to clean up some mild lines or do a few paint strokes. And easy enough to stop when need to.

    bleeding on the ground its funny to watch them nod and slap the air over and over again like they are some skilled genius. its hilarious and sad. "sit back and grab some popcorn" as they say.

    Only one of those actually counts as 'holding the game hostage' and that's the bodyblocking in a corner. It's reportable.

    The others are just people being toxic. I usually just alt tab and look at other things.

    I'll watch YouTube videos, or I'll play Cookie Clicker or Quordle. Or I might get a snack.

    I mostly just watch YouTube or open up Terraria (modded typically, Calamity Mod is pretty fun) or Warframe. Sometimes I play idle games like Cookie Clicker or Clicker Heroes. Or the alternative of doing chores around the house if I needed to do them. Normal stuff basically.

    As a slug I'll crawl to the funniest place available.

    And then tab out and check youtube.

    If I'm being facecamped I usually stay in the game and just chat with my friend, because I don't want to miss any skillcheck accidentally.

    Other games, read forums, youtube, twitch. Pretty much anything else so I don't waste my time.

    What happened to me just now was ridiculous. The killer wouldn't let me bleed out, wouldn't let me finish a gen to escape because my other teammate was hiding and they couldnt find them. Instead they just carried me unless i wiggled out. it didn't matter that I had enough and kept pointing to the hook. This went on for at least 20 minutes or so.

    With the dc penalty I didn't want to leave( dc penalty shouldn't be removed), I had no way to leave the game without being punished, I was forced to stay in the game because the killer wouldn't let me die and my teammate wanted the hatch and just walked circles around the map evading the killer.

    How are we as players supposed to deal with this? When we can't forcefully eject ourselves from the game because the killer refuses to let us bleed out or hook us, Won't let you complete a gen so you can escape ( we were 3 genned so it was easy for him to patrol)

    I feel like the game itself needs a max time limit, or the hatch needs to be completely removed. I'm tired of this crap, so many times since the update i've been in scenarios like this and it just isn't fun.

    Fellow survivors stop playing selfishly like this, fight to the damn finish. You're just as much to blame for my damn suffering in this case. Please fix the game bhvr add a max time limit or remove the hatch. Do something because a game that shouldn't go on 20 minutes because of selfish players.

    I roam around here, try to check for Total War Warhammer III mods I might like.

    If we talk about just bleeding out because killer is sweaty and afraid to lose 4k, then just check my phone.

    But if it is a cheater or toxic idiot, then this thing: I had set a hotkey that start recording. While recording, I feel report form in BHVR support (because you need to check options, put cloud ID, etc). Then as usual, checking phone or doing home chores like feeding cat or go to kitchen. After that I convert video to smaller size, upload and Bob's your uncle.

    Did they have the Awakened Awareness perk? Some killers are using it like radar when there's two survivors. Helps them see the auras of other survivors within 20m.
