Power Moves Steam Achievement in solo queue

I challenged a streamer friend to do this until he escaped once, for a charity event. He's usually quite skittish and a very poor looper.

By insane luck, he was matched against a Michael that didn't manage to kill anyone. Got it first try !

Best 20 bucks spent I guess ! =D

There are 3 basic options for this achievement IMO.

1. Just keep playing perkless, Items and offerings can help a bit, eventually you will get it.

2. You can cheese it a bit and play it super safe, you dont need to complete a gen you need to repair the equivalent of 1 full gen, so bring a key and hatch offering get 50% progress on 2 different gens and teammates be damned to get it done fast.

3. Set up/find a SWF of people who want to get the achievement and take turns getting progress with 3 competent people running meta builds and 1perkless and you all know if the mach starts going south everyone knows to get killed away from where hatch spawns and die on hook as fast as possible so the perkless one can get hatch

We wish you luck mate don't burn out.

All we can offer is that aside from the tips above, bringing a hatch offering (key or not) can work in your favor if your willing to go the selfish route. The killer will most likely either slug and guard the hatch area or hook and book it there meaning if your at a door you got a nice head start (or if keys in play, you have confusion in your favor)

As someone who regularly plays like this

there's three main skills I've found that need to be up to par with people running perks in order to have a normal escape rate:

• Your looping skills need to be on the same level as someone bringing exhaustion perks, Windows of Opportunity, Resilience, Self Aware, and other such chase perks
• Your awareness skills need to be on the same level as someone bringing Kindred, Bond, Empathy, and other such aura reading perks
• Your gen rush skills need to be on the same level as someone running Prove Thyself and no toolbox, so learn to hit great skill checks

Therefore if you're bringing an item for this challenge I'd argue that the strongest one you can bring is a Skeleton Key (30 charges) with Blood Amber (Shows killers aura within 32 meters, key uses 2 charges/second) and Prayer Beads (+15 charges). The reason for this is that it makes lots of unsafe loops that you'd normally just predrop (e.g. pallet gyms) or get hit at (LT walls) playable with the aura reading.

Your awareness of what your team is doing will come from two (sometimes three) sources:

• Seeing or hearing your teammates or signs of their presence (e.g. blood, generator sounds, injured noises, etc.)
• Auras when you or your teammates go down
• Your team running aura perks such as Kindred, Aftercare, Blood Pact, Wiretap, etc.

At the start of the game you will most likely have no idea what your team is doing unless you all spawn together (very bad, advice stays the same in that case). Therefore, your main priority should be to immediately run towards a center gen to decrease the chances of a 3 gen and start doing it. While you're going there pay attention to the sounds of generators being done close by and to pistons moving on far gens, this is where your teammates are and where you should stay away from if you get chased first.

If by some miracle someone is giving a juicer of a chase you should be soloing gens until there's 2 or less gens, then go group up on gens to get them done faster.

Before 10 second Borrowed Time became basekit I would pretty much never unhook, but now if someone is hooked then follow the following checklist:

• If no one else can go for the save and you can (e.g. 3v1, other survivor is getting chased), go unhook
• If you are healthy and the rest of your team is injured, go unhook
• If you are right next to them and your team isn't, go unhook
• If they're about to die on hook and you're not dead on hook, go unhook
• Otherwise, stay on your gen

If the person getting chased runs near your gen and doesn't make it to any loop while they're injured and you're not, go bodyblock for them until they either make it somewhere or you get hit (IMPORTANT: when you get hit you should be using your speed boost to run towards a usable loop but away from your teammate). Afterwards go back to doing gens.

Every time you're not in chase you should be looking around you for usable loops with the following checklist:

• What pallets, windows, and line of sight blockers are near me?
• What areas of the map should I avoid bringing the killer to? (e.g. gens being worked on, people healing under the hook, etc.)
• What areas of the map should I encourage the killer to go to? (e.g. places where all the gens are done, strong structures such as Garden of Joy main building, etc.)
• Which approximate direction is the killer likely to be coming from? (Generally from the last place you saw them, but teleport killers such as Demogorgon or Onryo might be coming from any direction and stealth killers such as Wraith or Ghostface might sneak up behind you)
• Are there any killer perks in play that would make specific loops unusable? (e.g. Bamboozle, Spirit Fury + Enduring, etc.)
• How at risk am I of dying compared to the rest of my team? (If you're healthy at 0 hooks you probably don't want to be dropping god pallets, if you're injured on death hook you should probably be going for the strongest loops and playing safe)
• Knowing all this, towards which loop should I be running to, and which loop should I be chaining after?
• If I get hit in the first loop, is there a better loop I can run to with the speedboost or should I stay in the same loop? (e.g. you'd want to leave an LT but stay in Garden of Joy's main building if you know how to run the loops, you should almost always stay away from tiles you don't know how to run)

Once you're in chase there's also a few things you can change compared to normal looping:

• Accept you will probably go down faster than usual and use this to your advantage
• If you go down, comp corner yourself
• If you know you're getting injured in the next second, immediately start running in a straight line towards either a strong loop if there's no time critical situation your team needs to get done or towards the exact opposite side of the map of the thing that needs to be done (e.g. 3 gen being broken, basement rescues against trapper/hag, etc.)
