What do you do when you're the last survivor in a Slug 4K
So what are survivors supposed to do here? I've been told if two survivors are left and one gets downed the other needs to try to save the survivor even if the killer is camping the slugged team mate.
I've been reported supposedly for breaking DBD rules because I waited for an opportunity to save my team mate but the killer was constantly hovering around the body until they died.

Wait em out. If you can safely pick up the slug at some point, go for it. Distraction perks like the pebble and blowin up a far away gen are good for this. You could also try finishin a gen if there's only one left and hope they have adrenaline. If not, hide for hatch.
You can't be reported for whatever you do in this situation. That was just people bein salty.

Personally, I hide and then wait for the guy to die and look for hatch.
Its not the best team move ever, but I'm not giving home boy the satisfaction.

When I play with friends, and this situation happens where killer hovers around the slug, we have a consensus that the slugged person will wait the bleedout to give the other a chance at hatch.
I expect nothing different from random teammates. Therefore if I'm the last standing, I'll most likely hide, and if I'm the one slugged, I'll crawl far away from my teammate as to not tell on them.
Fun fact : I've been called a camper by a killer when hiding for 4 minutes when my friend was slugged & guarded, because they were bored of looking over the slug. See the irony. If you can dish it, one would think you could take it.
Funniest bit is probably when I explained that the slug was my friend and that he agreed because I had a hatch challenge (which I got). Killer really said "Well if you'd told me, I would have let you go" after slugging for the 4K. Sure buddy. I believe you.

I find that silly.
If I'm the one standing and happen to have wglf up I still gonna pick them up.
If I'm the one down and I see the killer has no intention of picking, I dc. Waiting out the timer is less of an inconvenience than putting up with that kind of behaviour.

3K with hatch is a 100% win for killer. If they are slugging for 4k make them wait. If you are both hiding then someone should do something because you are holding the game hostage at that point and wasting everyones time. I really don't know how some survivors have the patients to just sit in a locker while bypassing the afk system every so often. It's a rarity that happens to me but geez don't do that.

If it's a 2v1 and they're camping the slg just hide. You're going to get ######### for it, but it's either that and you escape or give the killer a free kill

It is strange though, that if one survivor hides, it is ok, if both do the same, then it becomes a bannable offence, even if you have no way of knowing what the other is doing.
I ended up dead so often because i was the only one trying to do the last gen, while the other guy hid. Funnily, a lot of killers tell you they "usually" go for the other guy that is hidding, but just this game it was easier and faster to kill you off.
However, if the killer guards the bleeding guy, i start recording and hide.
Had several games where the killer waited till bleedout, then picked the guy up and let him go, to led him to me, because i hid and didnt help.
But since working is a bannable offence too, start your record early.

Yeah I don't know. This game is weird where things become "bannable" that's why I asked the question because the killer was laying into chat so hard "I've got a recording, you're reported" "You're going to get banned because you camped and let your friend die".
Like alright dude, oh well I guess.

This is why we need a suicide or give up button. Give them the same amount of kill/bloodpoints for the suicide for all I care. It's just silly to be on the ground for the whole bleedout.
I will normally try to finish gens if its me and another survivor. If they get found before me and go down and I see that the killer isn't picking them up, I go hide and wait for hatch. If I get found, I try to crawl far away from the other person as possible and even try to motion to not save me. Unfortunately, there are a lot of altruistic survivors that try to go for the save and we both end up rekt because they try to save. Same goes for when I get hooked at EGC. If I'm SWF, I tell them to leave me because the risk isn't worth it. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell solo's this so they end up trying and it's either an exchange hook or 2-4 of us are hooked.

I hide and wait out the entire slug timer. Then I hide and wait for them to close the hatch. Then *maybe* I try to open a gate depending on the gate spawns. If someone wants to extend the game for a 4k in a pub with no rank system, then they can have a really long game.

Depends, if the killer downs them and clearly runs off to look for me I'll try to remain hidden and pick up once it's clear they're not coming back to the slug every 5 seconds.
In my experience it's more common the killer just sticks in a 5-15 meter radius of the slug, sticking their nose in any corner the slug crawls to as if they expect them to crawl to me to "snitch". The slug either just stays put, or crawls actively towards or away from me. Either way I'll try to just stay hidden and play for hatch/gates as picking up is just silly most of the time unless I have WGLF active or I know for a fact the slug has Soul Guard.

A concede option would be nice. Just seems these 2 survivor left scenarios usually end with the killer getting the 4k anyhow. Might as well just give it to them and move onto the next.

Same here. If killer is going to waste the 3rd survivor’s time just so they can get a 4K, then if I’m the last survivor then I’m going to waste as much of the killer’s time as possible.

In soloQ games:
- if your teammate was not an ass during the game
- if more than 1 remaining gen (or 3-gen cluster)
You just look for next game asap , while denying as much as possible the 4K for the slugging killer
However, if you suspect an adept-game (<1% games), you may decide to give the killer his well-deserved adept at this point ; I would do that, tbh :)
In any other case, esp in stacked slowdowns games:
if you are slugged:
- you constantly move (no recover unless you have tenacity), telling the other player that you dont want to be saved
- game will be done for you after 4minutes, avoiding the unnecessary extra-time (save, slug, resave, reslug, ...)
- if killer picks you up at the last second for "extra-saltiness" , go every time to the closest generator and start working on it (if he fails the grab, you insta bleed-out as planned)
If you are not slugged:
- you pray that the teammate will do what is described above
- you check for any hatch offering
- you slowly move on the map and avoid any crows
- you try identifying the most promising exit gate to be opened (lots of LoS, corner of map, ...)
Do not forget that the killer asked for this extension of the game, by refusing to hook people.
IF you - somehow - manage to escape, do not miss the occasion to talk in the post-game chat :)

depends on what the killer does. Most of them just proxy camp the slugged survivor and hope you'll try to go for the pick up. If they do that then i'll just hide, If they're actually trying to look around i'll try to go for the pick up.

Apparently, there is no such thing as BM as a killer. They can bleed you out, slug, tunnel, camp, etc. Anything that they want to do they can do. None of it is reportable. So, what can you do? Just take it. It's already been confirmed from mods that all of this is acceptable for killers.
1 -
Lots of factors go into it.
If you know the slug is being camped then look around the map, open chests do totems etc.
If you are being slugged and camped don't move or move side to side quickly to say 'no'. If it's early in the game and you haven't got many points (5 gens up etc.) just disconnect. It's a 1 minute penalty vs 4 minute bleed-out.

The answers to this topic are kinda cringe.
You are playing a video game. If you think sitting idle for 4 minutes is ever the right solution then you are basically admitting that your time has little value, and probably you guys have too much of it.
You could have a chase or just go next right away, yes you'll give the sweaty killer a free win and some satisfaction, but why would you even give a #########. Everyone will forget about the game literally 2 minutes after it's over, the nolife killer you played against will get free MMR and have a higher chance to get matched against sweats who play like them, while you'll get matched against more casual killers, tell me who is the real winner here, you or them? Instead, you prefer to waste 4 minutes of your time, just so that you can MAYBE have a chance for hatch, and gain some virtual points and a satisfaction that will last 30 sec until you go next (that's assuming you end up winning the hatch game - because if you lose, you'll end up being even more frustrated).
You guys are really making a serious miscalculation at the cost and expense of your own free time. The killer will not lose anything regardless of whether you escape or not, if you escape they can still brag about the 3k, and they obviously don't care about you and your teammates opinion anyway otherwise they wouldn't play like this. I wish BHVR would give us a way to just report and dodge these killers but in the mean time just let them get their win. They'll just waste their own time slugging every game while you progress and practice chases more, and they'll think they're a god gamer for a while but at some point sweaty SWFs will put them back to their place.

I'll try and pick the person up. I'd rather a chase or something as opposed to hiding while they bleed out. When I'm the slugged one being camped, I like to crawl in the opposite direction of the last survivor and crawl up to random lockers and just waste the killers time. Usually they think you are leading them to the other survivor.

Of course none of it is reportable.
99% of reports would be Survivors screaming they got slugged/camped/tunneled/etc when the Killer did not pick them up in the middle of a pallet or saw their friend waiting to flashlight-save. Salty 'I lost' reports across the board.
I can watch DBD streamers and youtubers, and what's one of the FIRST THINGS out of their mouths if they are left downed for 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005 of a second? "The Killer is SlUgGiNg!"

By waiting out that behavior you mean the killer trying for a 4K?
0 -
I just wait it out, realistically even if you save the slug what's going to happen? More 2v1 immersed gameplay where nothing actually happens? It's more constructive to let the slug die and get hatch and whoever is slugged should just crawl to some far away corner to make it harder for the killer. It's a terrible situation to be in though and all so the killer can get an extra maybe 4k points.

You seem to have a bias towards survivors. I'm sure it's not 99% but every post you make lumps every single survivor into this negative category. I'll be sure to take anything you say as gospel >.>

Maybe it's because I play Killer more, and I'm exhausted with Survivors blasting me in end game chat because they lost and invent excuses as to why/how I was toxic so they can treat me like crap without feeling bad?

I just let the killer kill me and move on. Only reason not to is if you're petty or have a ritual/challenge you're trying to complete. As killer I run Whispers so I usually find the 4th while the 3rd is dying on the hook, hilarious how many of these people who hide will just DC when you down them.

Leave the person to be slugged (esp if they are on death hook anyways) and go for hatch/gates. Better to try and get someone out, albeit chances slim. Unless you brought Sole Survivor, Wake Up!, you likely won't be getting out via gates. If people report you for not going for a brainless save (essentially just telling the killer where you are and now he can kill you both), its just saltiness. You're not holding the game hostage since they're bleeding out, but even so, it'd be the killer's fault for not picking them up and hooking them for death.
Sometimes and most often, the killer is using your slugged mate as pure bait & going for a save is just securing 2 kills instead of only 1.

not them trying to 4k - but the extremely obnoxious way they go about it. Safe for the occasional challenge what do you really need the 4k for? Afaik nothing. And are the 20k BP really worth the cringe? --- For me it's the same kind of obnoxious as survs who have a stun challenge doing the FL blind after every pallet they drop - while also dropping every pallet. Can you do that to achieve your goal? Sure. Do I find it silly, obnoxious and cringe? Absolutely.
(That being said using 'inconvenience' there was bad phrasing on my part; the time out is an inconvenience, the putting up with that behaviour is absolute annoyance. I rather take the inconvenience than the annoyance.)

If a killer is slugging for the 4k, the 'correct' play if the last survivor wants to maximise their chances to escape, is hide until the other survivor bleeds out. It's not the nicest play but the killer is putting them in that position.

This is why I have long advocated for a 'concede' option to be added so the slugged survivor can choose to be sacrificed so the killer and the last survivor can fight it out over hatch RNG.
Or the other option is the basekit Unbreakable idea could activate in this specific scenario only (to hopefully prevent it happening) so if the survivor is left slugged for say 30 seconds they can then get themselves up.
I would say just remove the hatch mechanic and the entire issue would be gone but I cant see this ever happening
