Green glyphs

Idk if the challenge is bugged for me, but either way I think it’s poorly designed and needs a different way to reveal them than the EGC. Maybe after doing a generator you get a waypoint? All I know is I’ve been trying this challenge for 3 days, and it’s just so boring. one of the first glyph challenges I’ve actively hated.

    You don't need the EGC to find them, they literally spawn at every unoccupied totem spawn site.

    Wherever a totem could be, there's either a totem there, or a green glyph.

    I honestly misunderstood that at first and used a totem hunting build thinking they'd show up alongside totems.

    Is this a challenge that can be done on Killer as well as Survivor?

    Their at predetermined totem locations which means I’m spending a random amount of time going around the map trying to find all the possible spots they could be at, and all this time not knowing if any of the other 4 players also have this challenge active and they could have already interacted with mine and theirs thus eliminating any chance i can interact with any. I understand how the challenge works it’s still poorly designed.

    You don't need EGC to see the glyphs. But what you do need to do is play the game normally for them to appear, for killers that means hooking survivors and for survivors that means completing generators.

    These glyphs are not like previous ones which automatically spawn on the map, they need the conditions I mentioned above to be met first. So as a killer, if you have the challenge selected, once you've hooked a survivor a green glyph will appear on the map - the glyph locations are the same as totem spawns BUT not necessarily where they've spawned in that particular version of the map (there are many spawn locations for totems on a map). For survivors, have the challenge selected, complete a generator - then you should be able to find your green glyph.


    In EGC the glyphs become more visible for a few seconds.

    This. I'm greatful for the info, but I got so frustrated trying to pick up glyphs in normal matches that I assumed my problem was other people getting there before me, and I started throwing matches to look for glyphs I couldn't find. If it works differently than every other glyph challenge, it would be helpful to say that in-game. It would also be good to know how many glyphs are spawning.

    I also agree with the OP that there should be another way to find them besides waiting for EGC or wandering randomly..
