BBQ is broken

Yes this should be a bug but I know it's working as designed which is a logic error - If BBQ can see survivors in dying state, why doesn't Distortion protect in dying state? For that matter, why does BBQ work at all when there is a perk for it Deer Stalker. Yes, it's long overdue that BBQ be revised - maybe only being able to see survivors that haven't been hooked would be good but at the very least, clear up the inconsistency with how it works with Distortion and/or Deer Stalker overlap.

Just tired of the slugging finishes to games - and yes, I do run Unbroken on occasion.

    I mean if they can't find you while you're downed from far away, they will find you downed and making noise.

    If they don't locate you with BBQ or Deerstalker or the noise you make in the dying state, then that leaves bleeding out on the ground for four minutes because they can't find you. Devs have specifically said they don't want that.

    If the emblem/pipping/Bloodpoint system would get fixed so that killers aren't penalized for 3k and a hatch escape, then slugging for the 4k wouldn't be so common.

    BBQ does have like 7 counters, why not give it another one!

    Nah dude BBQ has so many counters and if they make it so it doesn’t find downed survivors have fun bleeding out in the mean time. If you want to not get slugged they should balance the game like they want with two survivors escaping for killers at red ranks otherwise you will likely get slugged for the 4K since that’s what red ranks most of the time requires for you to pip.

    7 counters? I know of the below 4 only

    1. locker
    2. hiding behind gens
    3. distortion
    4. within killer terror radius

    1) Lockers

    2) Hiding behind a Gen

    3) Distortion

    4) Standing still for 4 seconds / Run in a circle / Stay on the gen and then leave

    5) Changing directions

    6) Be within a 40 meter range from the Killer

    7) New Kindred

    4 and 5 are like almost similar. I forgot about Kindred. Barely anyone uses it except in swf.

    "Barely anyone uses it except in swf."

    What? The opposite is true. SWF are the only people who have no need for Kindred.

    Okay. I barely see anyone using Kindred above rank 10 (almost none in red ranks). When I play in SWF without mic, I use Kindred and steam chat. :P

    Obviously we have a bunch of brain-dead people reading - this is a LOGIC error bug dealing with dying state and a EXISTING counter to BBQ. Read my post before listing off all your counters. Better yet, quit whining and go play killer some more.

    You know, you're absolutely right. A perk that has 8 counters/weaknesses absolutely needs more.

    1. Lockers
    2. Hiding behind a gen
    3. Distortion
    4. Being within the TR
    5. Sole Survivor
    6. Juking one way then going another (misdirection).
    7. It's a limited effect you can only use 12 times.
    8. Some killer powers don't work with Auras (Spirit)

    Let's nerf it because it's too strong. That's a sound argument right there. Maybe buff distortion to be something other than an anti-bbq perk? Maybe that, instead of nerfing an already limited perk.

    BTW, if BBQ only worked 4 times, you'd find killers more likely to camp, because it encourages killers to go away from the hook.

    1) it is too strong, the same reason Survivor perks like self-care and items like med-kits have been nerfed, so try that logic again

    2) It's the logic that is flawed - if distortion counters BBQ, and BBQ works in dying state, then Distortion should work in dying state as well. Simple logic.

    3) BBQ was supposed to stop camping and didn't do that - so by your logic they should remove it since it doesn't work

    Give it up - you can't argue facts and just keep coming up with fluff to support your killer sided play. I don't run BBQ for this very reason - it's too OP in it's current form.
