Hux Primed to Camp

I'm not sure how Hux got to live servers without any restrictions in place regarding how close his pods (and/or his body) can be to hooked survivors. My spouse just got pseudo insidious-camped by Hux's shell while he monitored the hook from a camera right next to it. In addition, he can place cameras on the basement stairs, etc. while survivors are hooked down there.

Pair that with Forced Hesitation and Save the Best For Last, and this lil cutie is a tunnel-camp machine. Most people aren't using him that way yet, but I'm already starting to see it emerge.

    Unless they removed this from PTB to Live (haven't gotten a chance to play today), Hux does have restrictions in place for his pods and camping.

    If the pod is too close to a hooked survivor and he's monitoring it, the lock-on feature for applying Slipstream or for teleporting is dramatically slower. If he's close to a hooked survivor while looking at pods, he's slowed down significantly when he exits the pod view.

    It's kinda like Knight. Neither of those killers can use their powers to camp more effectively because of the restrictions they have, but since those restrictions aren't just disabling the power, it can be easy to miss exactly how it works.

    @jesterkind That makes so much sense! I guess I was considering how with Dredge, it was very obvious on launch that they implemented anti-camping measures. That makes sense!

    I had a Singularity try this at the start of the game (pods around hook) but I guess he decided it was a waste of time because he stopped doing it a couple hooks later. Two of us went for an unhook at one stage and healed the person under the hook and all 3 of us got hit with a pod. I had an EMP though and that helped. It's not an effective form of camping imo.

    Using pod is slower on survivors near hooked survivors and when you stand near hook using pods, when you get out you are slowed and can't attack for a while.

    He is not camping killer at all.
