Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

So... what happened to Survivors all spawn together?

I forgot which patch they mentioned this, but shouldn't all survivors always spawn together at the start of the trial?

But it's not most of the time.

    They should, but it never really worked.

    Survivors spawn together more often than before, but not always.

    Survivors almost always spawn together. Most of the time it’ll be 3/4 spawn next to each other while a fourth survivor spawns further. I can tell. I use bond.


    Plus BHVR doesn’t want survivors realizing it’s more effective to spread out and do gens separately.

    shroud of separation doesnt always work either, i have used it plenty and very often i spawn next to atleast one other person. its supposed to spawn survivors away from eachother not start the trial with someone else, thats shroud of union.

    The "survivors spawn together" feature never properly worked. And sometimes the killer spawns in the middle of the map, and the killer just doesn't know which direction the survivors are in. And sometimes the killer spawn on the edge of the map, but the survivors spawn along the same edge of the map, instead of being all the way across the map.

    The result is that if the killer guesses wrong, and all 4 survivors are on the same generator, and the killer is low mobility, then the 1st gen might be completely repaired before the killer finds any survivors.

    Just like many other things in this game, it doesn’t work and BHVR isn’t bothering to fix it. I run Lethal Pursuer a lot and almost never see all 4 survivors spawn together.

    This feature has never worked properly and in typical DbD fashion they probably won't revisit it for at least several years.

    It's weird like 3 survs are together and 1 other survivor spawns somewhere else

    It's one of the many things that didn't worked and made Operation Health a gigantic failure.
