    Just ran into just what I described. 4 man SWF, 2 toolboxes, 1 medkit and 1 flashlight. 1 hidden offering, 1 purple coin, 1 cake, and a purple tree branch. Pretty fun. They all got away but I was playing like my 5th game ever with blight, and I had them seriously scared. I was running agitation2, mad grit2, dragons grip3, and tinkerer3. Had so many good jump scares, got like 8 running hits (my previous best was 3 -_- ), they were constantly injured when trying to distract or body block the hook in swarms. One time I got a tinkerer pop and a dragons grip pop at the same time and got the exposed down

    I loathe swf as vs me it's just stomping a casual, underequipped, self handicapping player as they generally have benefits better suited to challenge someone of higher rank than me.

    From sweaty teams colors above me to an swf abusing the system so a higher rank can boost lower ranks, it's just nowhere near as fun as people my skill level. It's more bad matchmaking than the fault of SWF, but I can do more about SWF than I can bad matchmaking.

    I'd rather give any of the other options a shot first.

    Flashlights, always 2 people with flashlights...Because, that is a sign of a group playing together and somehow they will know I have franklands even If I have not hit anyone yet..It is like they know what perks I have or something.

    I am cool with any items (keys included) or obvious SWF in lobby. But I will dodge if Claudette is wearing an invisibility cloak. That is 100% of the time miserable to play against

    Keys. I always dodge the lobby if there's a key. Everything else is fine though. Oftentimes swfs are just a bunch of people playing with friends. Sweat squads are rare for me at least. Then again, people's definition of a sweat squad can often differ.

    I would say the most worrying is if it looks like they're SWF and one or more of them has a trolly name.

    Usually gamer-tags which have the same 'clans' mentioned. You know you've got 'some of them'.

    If I see a (sweat)-with-friends with a key, you're getting the Ire Button Cold Dirt combo. I would just throw on a mori and use it if I had too, but now we can't exactly do that can we?

    I dodge matches if i see all players loading at once and also all of them being from the same platform (I assume they are SWF) and only accept matches if I see that at least 2 survivors are from a different platform...

    I agree with this. For the most part console SWF is alright since I play killer on Xbox but when I get PC SWF they're typically high purple or red ranked and I play around rank 8 so I usually know I'm gonna get trashed.

    Honestly I consider keys as "match not counted" , because they will be nerfed.

    4 medkits can be something absurd, 100%

    Bright colours signify of danger, toxicity, poison. They're worse than 2+ flashlight lobbies to me. Flashlights can be funny to play against too but if they all look like fortnite gucci trans tiktokers it's probably not going to be all that fun, I've learned.

    Yeah, a graphic name or two usually means I'm about to fail, lol. Toxic Steves!

    You pretty much aren't going to get a fair game anymore. So i just either be toxic to the swfs or i leave lobby

    a full team of the same survivor that looks exactly the same with a full set of toolboxes/medkits loading in at once

    Extremely flashly clothes, especially on Nea (you know, pink hair an all that). Also when I check their Steam profiles and they're all from the same country, especially if at least one of them has TTV in their username. I'm leaving that immediately.

    Prestige claudette, because I don't want to waste my time looking for the hidden enemy.

    A key, because it basically guarantees a free escape for 1 Survivor if I do my job correctly.
