Survivor Gameplay Is Becoming Unplayable Due to Endless Slugging
Hello developers,
I’d like to report an issue that has been making survivor gameplay extremely frustrating and, at times, completely unplayable.
In many matches, killers are leaving survivors slugged on the ground for the entire match, creating an infinite and repetitive cycle. This happens especially often when the killer is playing as The Twins. Other survivors try to help, but end up being downed as well, and when that doesn’t happen, everyone simply bleeds out.
This type of gameplay feels very unhealthy and goes completely against the spirit of the game. It removes interaction, counterplay, and enjoyment from the match.
I kindly ask that the team review matches where this behavior is occurring and give this issue proper attention.
Thank you for your time.

Man, where are all these slugging killers at, as a gamer with Tenacity addiction I strive to play vs slugging killers and they are never there

me too me and my friend play somewhat on a regular basis we haven’t been bled out in ages and I do a lot of clicking and taunting

slugging with 2 people left, has to go. Either give the abandon option or let the player end himself while down. This lack of feature makes this game blow. No one wants to spend 10 minutes on the ground. Dumb game.

BHVR looked at it in 2025 and deemed it not to be a problem. Unacceptable, I know.

Haven't seen a slugging killer for several months. Only time it happened was in situations where I myself would do it if I have chance of getting several people downed and that is usually because survivors themselves played badly.

For the last two survivors, the second-to-last survivor should be given the option to revive themselves (a system they originally planned). Because the endless 2v1 at the end of matches is awful.

but that should come with a caviat otherwise the killer is in a lose-lose scenario

You mean, it was not possible for BHVR create a system that players would accept well enough.
BHVR never said it was not a problem.

One of the unwritten rules of this game is when you make a build to counter something, it never happens.
I get slugged 5 games in a row, bring anti-slug, get tunneled.
Get tunneled, bring anti-tunnel, killer spreads pressure
Bring gen repairs/healing, get slugged
Rinse and repeat. Not complaining btw, it's kinda hilarious.1 -
i advice u to use boon: exponential,unbreakable,ds, and exhaustion perk, with this build there is no more slugging, u will learn to use boons correctly to save ur team from slugs, also u will have unbreakable if the boon get sniffed out, and u will have ds in case u get tunnel and u will have an exhaust perk that can help u in chase.

Survivors slugged for an entire match is not the killers fault tho, why does nobody pick you up? Take the loss and move on. You just had a bad team, don't blame your opponent for that.
Let me change your title a bit to accomodate to the average killer: "Killer gameplay is becoming unplayable due to the 4min genrushes that force them into unfun playstyles such as camping, tunneling and slugging"

No, I meant what I said. If it was a real issue, BHVR still would have pushed a fix through. Players have gotten upset over all kinds of things that still got the green light. By doing nothing to solve it in the end, they are communicating that it isn't a problem. I would welcome a member of staff specifying otherwise, but until then I'm going off of what they themselves have conveyed via their actions.

Then you forgot to listen to them on the Community Streams, where they clearly explained that they would not want to push anything through if people really dont like it.

Genuinely no offense, but why would I care about what they have to say when their actions are louder than words? After 2025, I don't know why anyone would (in my opinion).

Why would should listen to what people say? Well..Because actions are not the whole picture or what may come next.

true. i heard that slugging was this gigantic problem and brought 2 anti slugging perks and no one slugged me

They do go hand in hand, although I think this case is different because of how long it's gone on for. Often times, I think the narrative shifts toward us treating both BHVR and the game itself as if we're only about 4 years deep. But we're not. It's been a decade worth of these things and especially after what 2025 was proposed to be, it's all unacceptable. Actions matter most (in my opinion). If they can't deliver, then I'm not interested.

This is so true it hurts honestly. I know I sound like tinfoil hat member, but I can never forget how iron wills suddenly start popping the second I switch to playing Spirit, or how Urban Evasion appears after tens and hundred of matches without it when I suddenly play Hag XD

Oh dont worry, im not correcting you for your interest only.
You are free to be upset by BHVR and im not trying to take that from you.1 -
Hopefully I didn't come across too aggressive either. 😵

Nono, you are clearly passionate about the game and that makes disappointments more heartfelt, no offense taken.

Jfc fix your terrible 2v1 system at the end. Just gift wrap the killer a win at this point. No skill, beat end game. Slugging until you find the last person is broken and an embarrassing crutch given to killers. Trash.

Quit complaining, people like you are the reason for things like that horrible 8.2.0 ptb, learn the game. Or just put on unbreakable, it’s literally free. Just don’t make the game worst for all the killers.
