Why do killers with Rancor tunnel the obsession?

You would think that unlike Dying Light or Remember Me they would WANT to let the obsession go until the end. But I swear every time I’m the obsession with Rancor, I’m hunted down before the end. I love moris! I will let you mori me! Just let me get my bp and maybe open an exit gate for rituals!

  • I'll give you a reason but I don't think it's a good one; the Obsession gone removes the one downside of the perk. The Obsession can't see your Aura when they're dead, can they?

    It happened to me recently except I was chased for 5 gens until mori. -.-. Red ranks btw.

    If I get saddled with a "Kill a survivor by your hands" ritual and I can't be bothered to try I will tunnel the obsessions and literally devote the game to killing them via Rancor.

    Probably because they don't actually have DS and they had no one better to chase. Might as well get a kill if you can.

    Just a thought, but...
    Rancor is quite the tunneling Perk by itself.
    So it's natural that those who tunnel would pick this Perk just for the added benefits instead of changing their playstyle to fit 1 Perk.

    Because they normally find the obsession first, and then sone killers just tunnel.

    I run Rancor on my spirit and if I see the obsession I'll go for the hook if they're near me otherwise i don't bother with them. I mean if you're injured and in front of me I'll down you for the free hook but I'm not going to try and tunnel you just for 1 hook otherwise.

    Sometimes they don't actually intent to tunnel.

    For example, if i were to do a gen lap and find someone that happens to be the obsession i down and hook them.

    I go looking for other survivors, they get unhooked and run off.

    Sometimes the situation occurs where the other 3 are immersive AF and all you can find is the first dude you hooked, now are you tunnelling? no not really but if you don't slow the game down you will have even less time to find the others so you have to hook the obsession again.

    When I use Rancor, I seem to run into the obsession every single time.

    If I'm running Rancor odds are I'm also running Remember Me so I've gotta beat down obsession as much as possible.

    I’m sorry but I feel like those perks are at odds since you want the obsession to die with Remember me because they’re not affected, and even if you manage to get them that’s like 10 seconds lost on a dwindling clock.

    I reroll these dailies because it's really crappy to be on the receiving end of an early mori.

    I only keep the “Kill By Your Hands” if I have plenty of moris on that specific killer. Usually I’ll just use an Ivory. The 60000 BP are nice.

    I'm the same way and I'm never actually looking for them either, it just seems I find them or they run right into me. It's like stop running from me, I'm saving you for last lol.

    I didn’t have any obsession perks last game, and i was the obsession. Is this a guaranteed sign their running Rancor?

    Well no.
    It could mean the Killer doesn't want to hit you to gain Tokens on Save The Best For Last.
    It could mean you'll die to a Mori cause they want to activate Dying Light.
    It could mean they'll target you a lot to get Tokens and want you dead before the Generators are powered to make use of Remember Me.
    It could mean they'll keep losing you on purpose to gain Tokens on Play With Your Food.

    Man, a lot of Tokens on Obsession Perks...

    The killer seemed to be bad. I could easily escape them, but they killed everyone quickly. I escaped through the hatch and forgot to check his perks. Does this mean he had play with your food?

    Because the perk offers aura as a primary and the mori is just a "should it so happen".

    the guaranteed sign to the killer using Rancor is if you see their aura once a generator has been completed, and you do not have Dark Sense. Hope this helps :chuffed:

    Roleplay?

    I sometimes tunnel the obsession for rp reasons.
    You want me to be obsessed with you alright.
    I hunt you down. Check for DS if yes I will slug you, play with you, defend my prey until I finally kill you or bleed out/DC. That's what obsession means!

    Often combined with BBQ to hook everyone once for the BP and then solely focus on the obsession.
    When I am playing like this I don't really care what the others are doing. If I get a 4k. Or if I pip.
    I am just there for the rp.

    I've noticed that about some killers too. Of course I don't see the need for rancor since usually everyone is dead before the end when I play killer but when I play survivor I get hardcore tunneled when the killer has rancor. There was a game where everyone else escaped because the killer was only going after me for the first 4 gens while she has rancor.

    But only one person seeing your aura is hardly a logical reason to tunnel only them. Besides, you can just instantly down them and mori them in the end anyway. My favorite killers are those that runs this perk, tunnel, and run NOED. You gotta guarantee your horrible play style gets at least one person.

    Maybe you were the easiest survivor to catch of the bunch. Weren't you?

    You get found first or you're the easiest to catch.

    They’re not at odds with each other at all. Tunnel the obsession so you can get your 6 tokens. If the obsession happens to still be alive if all the gens are repaired you can insta down and insta kill them, eliminating the possibility that the obsession beelines for one of the exit gates which would mitigate Remember Me. This gives plenty of time to find any remaining survivors trying to open the exit gates, survivors that ARE affected by Remember Me. 
    I’ve got many wins pairing Remember Me with Rancor, and STBFL
    Oh okay. I didn’t think about it that way! Very clever.
