    Gotta work on your Resource Depletion game!

    Find an area to focus on, get survivors to waste those pallets quickly and then you'll find it a whole lot easier. Again, no guaranteed win, but without pallets the Game becomes a bit more even.

    Depends on which M1 killer we are talking about.

    This is the answer, learn to drop a chase after a pallet or two. I think perhaps if you're having trouble with the map you're committing too much. Pressure gens and more natural chases will happen, don't force it.

    Don't overcommit on a chase with a competent player early. There is almost always going to be one or two survivors who are *significantly* worse than the other two in the same match. It's exceedingly rare that you're going to run into 4 survivors that all path perfectly and don't make mistakes.

    If you find yourself chasing someone who is pre-dropping safe pallets, pathing optimally to the next one, and you can't mindgame, don't get into an ego chase. You aren't chasing a "bad survivor who only knows how to pre-drop and hold W". You're chasing a good player who understands how to play survivor and not take dumb hits. Stop chasing them and find someone else who takes risks, then capitalize on those risks.

    If you have Starstruck, Jolt, LP/BBQ and any other perk you're golden. ALthough Starstruck and Jolt are amazing on any in-door map

    A purely M1 Killer only ever does a Basic Attack or a Lunge and that Power button is nonexistent.

    No one in the Killer roster actually does that.

    Trapper has his Traps that he can place in a Loop to shut the loop down, as well as pre-placement that can stop a chase early or Damage/Delay Survivors without him being there.

    Wraith has his decloak Lunge and map Traversal/TR suppression while cloaked.

    Even Pig has her Crouch that can let her get up close to unaware Survivors or Ambush in certain loops.

    So, what Killer are you referring to?

    Edit: But to also add to what other people have said regarding dropping chase, The Game is a multifloor level, and you can hear generators while on different levels, if you have a person that used a pallet in a loop and isn't a fast down, and you hear a nearby Survivor on a Gen, it might be worth it to go to that gen to chase them for them to drop some pallets while the other person has to reorient themselves onto another generator in the meantime.

    Keep dropping chase after breaking a pallet, bounce from Survivor to Survivor and from gen to gen.

    Play for the mid to late game, map gets a lot easier once those pallets are gone

    Hope you play the right M1 killer with the right build. Brutal Strength and Jolt work very well on that map. Clown can play around some of these pallets. Pallet Freddy can work too. Also, as nasty as that is, you can secure an easy 3-gen and camp that. Once the pallets there are gone you start to gain the upper hand. Camping can also work pretty well on that.

    You can't win in a nice a way but you can win none the less.

    Its incredibly difficult. you really need to play the battle of attrition with the pallets, creating deadzones. If you are being led into a spot with a few really good loops, and you think it'll take more than 20s to get the pallet down, leave. Take the chases that are easy, get pallets down fast, tunnel if you have to and hopefully you can get a 2k.

    Tunnel someone hard if you can.

    If the survs care about the person, they'll get off gens and try to peel/block for the surv. Thereby giving you the advantage.

    Then proxy a hook if your way behind, i.e 2/3 gens done and 1/2 hooks only.

    You have to create pressure and the only way to get that is to have someone near death.

    you don't lol it's impossble to win on 90% of the new maps as m1 killers. if you do win as a m1 killer on these maps it's because survivors are REALLY bad.
