Triggers

Last time I played killer I found myself getting triggered by some survivor game play and ended up facecamping the culprit (and killing all his teammates as they ran like headless chickens towards him) - What kind of Survivor sided actions "trigger" that kind of "im gonna smash him for that" tunnelling/camping attitude?


For me I have two - one is repeated squatting of a survivor behind a pallet (which I think needs some kind of diminishing returns btw) and the other is playing a game where all four survivors have flashlights.

Just curious to know what things trigger you into what could potentially be viewed as negative gameplay?

    I agree @Dwight_Fairfield - The toxic fallout within the game has to start somewhere - i'd argue its actually the Survivors that initiate the toxic behaviour and then killers respond and then it spirals

    Object of Obsession and a Fully Optimal SWF/Killer.

    At that point I just stop trying, go AFK and wait for my next match.

    I only make it my mission to hunt a particular survivor down when they sandbag someone right in front of me. By all means, give away their location if they’re not actually playing the game - you’ll be rewarded and they will be punished because f those survivors who don’t play and think they deserve escape over the other survivors who actually participated - but if they ARE playing and you INTENTIONALLY try to get me to kill them to save your skin, I will go Liam Neeson on your booty.

    yes I will facecamp someone who sells out another survivor and also @DocOnLoose I play ps4 DBD so if they are pressing ctrl it generally doesn't impact me too much. Getting triggered and what not is a normal, common thing to happen due to our innate competitive nature. So you stay on your high horse and ill stay mildly triggered

    Honestly? The only thing that really bugs me nowadays on the killer side is toxicity in end-game chat. Playing as survivor bugs me a lot more. Getting 2-hooked because of my teammates, having to play games that last way too long because of how defensive the killer is playing, and the large amount of down-time there is when you play survivor frustrates me and makes me want to stop playing.

    For me? I save my moris if their are 3 or more keys/toolboxes..and if the gens power up all the way I will simply guard my hook rather than give a free escape..and I cant help but nod at people who botch flashlight saves..I want to be cheeky..not a jerk lol

    I've only been triggered by survivors who used instaheals in my face. One day I had enough and decided to bring a mori whenever I could just in case. If anyone did that I would mori them and if someone instahealed his team mate in my face I would mori them both. I don't know if you can imagine the satisfaction I felt everytime I did that.

    What is triggering me now is genrush at red ranks, so I'm still bringing a mori whenever I can to deal with that.

    Seriously, if you play killer I think it's healthy to bring a mori whenever you can.

    As a survivor nothing triggers me more than a facecamper, if I somehow manage to open the exit gates I'll stay at the exit gates tea bagging as long as I can in the killers face just before the endgame collapse timer expires.

    The only reasons I will deliberately tunnel a specific person are:

    • I have a Mori daily. This is the only time I use these items.
    • I'm in danger of falling behind, and I know someone's next hook is death hook.
    • If I know somebody's got a key or a map, and we're getting close to hatch time.

    I don't tunnel for "BM" behavior like flashlight-clicking or tea-bagging at pallets. This rolls off my back easily, because I know these people are trying to hold my attention to buy time for their friends. If I'm roundly losing a chase, against someone who is an obviously great looper, I'm going to abandon it, because I want to find easier prey.

    And beyond that, I don't specifically tunnel. If you got unhooked and I find you again in the wild, yeah, I'm still going after you, but that's just how the game goes. And the only times I'll flat out camp the hook are if I know someone is there waiting to save (because I saw them or their scratch marks), or if gens are done and doors are open (in which case all bets are off and I'm going to secure my kill).

    Well sometimes I bring a flashlight, but have no idea how to use it.

  • Nothing my opponents do trigger me into any action because I am no longer 5 years old.

    However, of there's one thing that triggers me, it's ######### lag bugs! That ######### will enrage me to such a point, I stop playing!

    If two gens are completed in less then a min, i will camp the next surv i find

    Multiple gens going off at once pretty much activate "camp everything that moves" mode for me. Nothing is more depressing than being like "heck yeah, still 4 gens left" and then literally 5 seconds later "well ######### just 1 gen left"

  • Might want to switch out "I'm gonna smash him for that" for "I'm gonna kill him"

    Also people who unhooked in my face or 360 me 3 times during frenzy (Console legion main).

    Nothing, I don't care enough to throw my own fun away just to try to "punish" someone.

    Closest would probably be people that intentionally sandbag and then act like they helped me or it should earn them a free ticket to run away. Not gonna bore myself to tears by facecamping them but I'm certainly gonna try to make them the next person that goes on a hook.

    Wait...maybe this is why I get campers and tunnelers in a lot of my games...
