Slugging for 4K is frustrating and boring for survivors
A large number of killers choose to slug one survivor when two are left, in order to prevent a hatch escape and secure a 4K. This often leads to a very frustrating experience for the slugged survivor, who is left with nothing to do but wait and hope the killer eventually picks them up.
There are a few typical scenarios:
- The killer slugs briefly, looks around, and if they can't find the other survivor, they hook the downed player to force a hatch standoff.
- The killer slugs and waits for the slugged survivor to bleed out, forcing the hatch fight that way.
- The killer searches for the last survivor until the slugged player is nearly dead, and if they can't find them, they pick them up and drop them repeatedly to reset the bleed-out timer — or, worse, carry the survivor around endlessly if they don't wiggle.
Aside from the first case, these scenarios are not fun at all — especially scenario 3, which artificially prolongs a game that is already lost and wastes everyone’s time. It's one of the most demoralizing experiences in the game as a survivor.
I strongly believe the game should introduce one or more of the following:
- A way to surrender when one survivor is slugged and no longer has any real chance.
- A change to the hatch system so killers can't abuse slugging to guarantee a 4K.
- A time or mechanic limit on how long a player can be slugged or picked up and dropped repeatedly.
Please consider making changes. Slugging for 4K has become too common, and it ruins the experience for many survivors.

Sorry us Killers are doing the smart thing. Getting the 4k is totally not are objective and Sorry it's not fun to just lay on the ground but Slugging for a 4k is better then some killer Slugging to let ur whole team Bleed out which was in the patch last update

I play killer often myself and fully understands the desire to get a 4K. That’s exactly why I mentioned changes to the hatch system — because I believe some level of slugging is understandable and even strategic.
However, when a killer refuses to pick up a slugged survivor until they are nearly bled out — or even forcibly revives them right before death just to keep searching for the remaining survivor — that I can not understand.
It becomes toxic behavior that shows no consideration for the other player's experience. Is securing a 4K really worth dragging the game out like that?

People normally do that if there 4k exclusive. If it's not a 4k it's a massive deal. When I do it. It's 1(I already know where the last survivor is) 2(the last survivor is right next to me making himself obvious) but spending 2mins searching for that survivor is unnecessary. I would change it if your on the half way point from being in the dieing state for so long making you able to just leave

I partly agree because I've played some games where we're all slugged and we weren't being toxic, yet on the other side of the coin plkenty of times where the duo or swf is being super toxic and i can see where the killer might want to have freedom of expression as well
