How do people know where the Hatch spawns?
I thought that they changed it so the hatch doesn't spawn anymore until 1 survivor is standing?
I ask because I have been seeing some Killers literally just stand on-top of Hatch as it is spawning like they already knew EXACTLY where it was going to be and closing it immediately, as a Killer I have never had this luxury before.
Similarly, because I don't know how to find the hatch without sound, there are times where the last remaining Survivor is literally just sitting hiding and waiting right besides the Hatch spawn as well..
Do these players somehow know where the Hatch is spawning? Could someone please explain this to me so I can understand and learn? Ty!

Guessing based off knowing possible spawn location rules/logic/examples

Hmm, does anyone here know what those rules are? Or is there a youtube video that explains them? I've become curious lol

Luck + game experience for knowing common spawn points. That's assuming no one used the newish offerings that increase the odds of where it spawns. Like on the Grim Pantry, it seems to have a very high spawn chance in the bottom of the small building. Badham used to have an extremely high chance of spawning in the basement of the school. It also seems to spawn near exit gates ridiculously often.
Even taking all these factors into account, the end result is still pure chance. There's no guarantee where it will spawn, even with the offerings. You're just lucky or unlucky with some tweaked odds.

The hatch doesn't exactly "spawn" into the game
It's just invisible. So if you walk over it there is a small bumb
If you don't pay attention to it you'll probably won't notice but if you know about it you can find the hatch that way before it becomes visible

Some maps have very dominant spawns. (Badham, bottom school) (Grim pantry, in the Hut or top basement stairs in Main) to name a few. But it's also mainly luck and a dead part of the game.

1) Hatch often spawns in one of a very few places, roughly. So take a guess that it's there and you'll often be right.
2) Pay attention to offerings
3) Some hacks show it

It's 'random' to the point of favouring certain spots on a map. If you play the maps often enough you learn the general patterns, for example Badham tends to have it spawn on the main road outside the school or in the school basement (beneath the hole in the floor where you can drop down there from 1F).
Many maps used to favour the side of the shack with the two boarded up windows, but I think they've changed this.
The Game (meat packing plant) tends to favour the coridoor by the bathroom/basement or over by the set of stairs with the palate to the side.
RPD is unsurprisingly a nightmare as it can spawn upstairs too, the only map where it can AFAIK.
Etc.
One thing though, have they removed collision from the hatch before it becomes visible?

This. Its in the match at 5 gens, its just not visually able to be seen. As a killer, you can still bump into it during the match, make a mental note where it is, and come back to it at end-game. However without the bump, its more or less a guessing game.

This bug has been patched, is it back again ?

Interesting, that makes sense though, I feel like I may have felt the "Bump" people are referring to before.. just didn't realize it was the hatch.
Perhaps if they weren't using hacks, then this is how they knew exactly where it was spawning, that or extreme luck + knowledge.
I'm just surprised to see how many people seem to be standing RIGHT on top of the hatch almost the moment it spawns in my matches.. both Killer and Survivor sided..
When I play Killer, often time I am running around the map for what seems like minutes searching for the hatch sometimes, and as Survivor unless I am using a Perk to help me, I just search completely aimlessly and sometimes get lucky and sometimes I don't...
But I literally have NEVER not once just been standing on top of the hatch right as it spawns, yet I keep noticing it happening quite often lately.

This! I wanted to write my own piece, but checked for anyone else in the know.
It doesn't happen often, but when I happen to walk over the invisible hatch, I make a mental note in my head.

I've had maybe 4-5 games where the hatch has spawned at my feet leaving me like "well...that sucks for them."

Its a mix of luck and knowing where it can spawn.

And then when you actually want to give the last survivor hatch you end up spending 20 minutes trying to find the damn thing.
I remember one of my first games as ghost face I had this Laurie who ran me really well so out of respect I wanted to give her hatch. I left her slugged to try and find it, then came back and tried to find it while carrying her, and in the end forced her to wiggle off so she could help me look. I didn’t realise at the time it could spawn on the edge of the map on backwater swamp. 😭

look here and u know how it feels.

YES ! Somehow i feel like it's been changed to spawn at the feet/or next to either the killer or the survivor.
I once was slugged on the ground opposite to an opened gate and the hatch appeared literally 2 m away from me. Map was Gaz Heaven and hatch spawned quite far next to a rock between a jungle gym, the destroyed truck-thingie with a window and at least 16 m from shack. Doesn't look like a normal hatch spawn.
Also from experience, i know that on Pale Rose the hatch almost always spawn really close to the outside walls, after i search as killer i found it next to the little boat which doesn't look like a normal spawn either.

It's video from 2021. Does it still work? They stated they've patched that out to prevent unfair advantages of finding hatch before it open.

thats something I do not know.

They changed it so the hatch has no collision before appearing in the same patch that reworked keys. This isn't a thing anymore.

Too true, and swamp seems like the worst to try to find hatch in, even given how small it is.

I thought they added fake bumps through out the maps to confuse us? I could be wrong but I don't think this works anymore
