My Friend Is Being Held Hostage and Wants Advice.
He's playing Pig and he got a hacker.
He's on Eyrie of Crows and they've hooked themselves and are outlasting the EGC.
I don't want to give him the wrong advice. It's currently been 30 minutes and it's fairly obvious the guy isn't going to leave him alone. Should my friend DC?

He should make a video clip and then after some time when it’s clear it’s a hacker/hostage situation they can disconnect via the settings menu, make an in-game report (which is mandatory) and then file an additional user report ticket here (they will need account info from the user they reported:
https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
if you have the clip it’s best to upload it as an (unlisted) video on YouTube or another platform and attach the link in the issue description in the ticket
edit: your friend will ‚suffer‘ from the dc penalty, but when it’s his first dc recently it should only be only 5 min, it’s situations like these why the penalty start so low (and it’s the fault of people abusing the dc feature that there is a penalty at all)
Does that mean he'd need the steamID64?
If possible yes.
if they are on another platform they need to just put in the account name and probably mention in the description their own platform and the fact that the reported user was a crossplay user.
(this report system got even messier with crossolay and I hate it..)
Well....
i dunno if that's gonna be possible tbh
You need the SteamID64 only if you are playing on Steam, consoles and other platforms have no way to get to the profile by clicking on the name, so you just need to put the nickname on the report and mention in the description that you are playing on a different platform.
Okay.
It's been about 45 minutes and I've instructed him to DC and report them since he's already taken a clip of them.
I should be able to talk him through the rest of it, thank you <3
If you are on Steam you can access the profile directly from the end-game screen where you see the points etc.
otherwise (different platform) I already mentioned what to do
Ah, I misunderstood.
I thought you meant ideally grab the steamID64, not only grab it on PC
