Basement camping

Why is there only one entrance to the basement just been camped by a ghost face because he was hiding down there waiting for us all to go for the save killer mains can't expect to be good if they camp in the basement and Devs should fix that by adding another set of stairs going down there otherwise you have this issue!

    Ah... the clarion call of the new Survivor. The Basement is the strongest point on the map for the Killer. If you don't want to end up down there, avoid it, or only go for it when you know the Killer is somewhere else. It is supposed to be strong, a nightmare. There are entire Builds (and Perks specifically designed) for the Basement dwelling Killer.

    You can get in and out of the basement but it takes either good timing, luck, or a dedicated effort by multiple Survivors if you have a Dungeon Dweller. It can be done. It just take practice. But the best option is to avoid getting stuck down there in the first place. When running and looping, take yourself away from the Basement so the Killer can't get you down there without you struggling out. *Or your pals could body block, blind, and help by tempting and slowing the Killer down enroute.

    Gee would be nice of them to actually help but most survivors are SWF and only look out for their pals and I'm going to help them but they leave me to die oh well guess I should just leave everyone on the hook then lol

    I agree, that is frustrating. However, that is NOT an issue with the Basement. It is an issue (like MOST of the issues facing this game) with the SWF. They are bad news for anyone not in their group. For most 3-Person SWF the other guy is basically a "Red Shirt" from Star Trek, someone to be utilized a abandoned when no longer useful. I'm all for talking about the SWF, but this thread is about the basement, and it isn't really a problem. It is just a specific thing to work into your routine, just like some long, safe Loops are the strong points for Survivors. Heck, the Killer Shack itself is a mixed bag because it is a very strong loop for Survivors until the God Pallet is dropped. :)

  • The solution is pretty simple: always know where the basement is as a survivor. Then, don't go down in a chase anywhere near it. If a teammate does, you'll have to decide if it's worth the risk or not.

    Yup, this. Not like I can drag you there from halfway across the map.
