Is anyone else facing killers who over protect event gens? They leave a chase just to stop the person on the gen. I am not mad or salty I am just curios if anyone else is having the same problem..

    Same thing happened in the Lunar event. Some killers deliberately camped event gens and some survivors deliberately sabotaged event hooks. Most were open to leaving event goals alone when possible, but you'll always get a few who are determined to keep others from participating.

    I think it would be better to increase the requirements for each goal and give everyone a progress point whenever either side completes a goal. That way the opposing side gets rewarded for leaving their opponent's event goals alone.

    Just grab Sabotage and spam/sabo the hooks.

    Chances are the killer will tunnel and facecamp the saboteur so the rest of you can finish the gens.

    ... That seems ridiculously petty.

    Then again what did I expect from this game...

    And I'm supposed to ignore the Survivor putting themself in the bad position to rush the gen, and chase the guy running off to the closest loop, why ?

    I dont think anyone said that, re-read the OP.  Camping the event gens, even when presented with a better option, or leaving chases just to protect the event gen when you wouldnt for a regular gen, is pretty scummy. 

    Now, if survivors are on the gen and you patrol it and chase them, that's just playing the game.  No one is asking for a free lunch, just don't be a jerk and decide that stopping the survs from getting event points is suddenly priority 1 over getting kills.

    Same goes for sabo.  Dont act like denying the killer points is a higher priority than doing gens, getting res ues or escaping and we're all good.

    It's A reason gens are camped, not THE reason.

    Depends on how long those problems are going. They prolonged the Howling Grounds.

    Pretty good idea, because you know that’s the first gens they are going for. Leave them too it

    Most of these event gen campers dont want to win though, i've seen a few literally walking out with zero kills and like 5k BP cause they decided to camp one or two of the gens even if it means the survivors are free to do what they want as long as they dont close to them.

    Survivors want to be ######### and brake the event hooks then us killers are going to camp the gens

    Not gonna lie. I played a trapper game and I trapped each of the 4 sides of the special gen😁 it was at that point a meme game. I let them get the other special gens but not this one. I think i caught the survivors in traps 4 or 5 times suprisingly.
