Pig matches aren't the funnest currently.

Sorry to ride the trend but like other people now that it is becoming popular i'm seeing it more and more. 2 games in a row against pig was afk kills. Me and one other survivor couldn't get the trap off because we were "unlucky" so i just took the L on it. Like people ride tombstone for being bad but at least michael needs to do something for it. Its minimal but it's something. This one i can get a 4k by doing literally absolutely nothing. Maybe rework the red addon into something more interesting or put contigencies on it? Idrk how you'd fix this problem.

    Pig players pick the video tape ultra rare addon, since it used to be a uncommon many people have billions of them

    They pick a box, crouch and just block it the whole game and hope that survivors are unlucky and die to it. Which they often do, so survivors have a choice

    do the gens and progress the game

    don't do the gens and waste their time - the pig isn't playing the game and survivors can't really punish them by doing the gens and leaving because at least 1 person is 100% guaranteed to die in most circumstances

    But... doesn't each box have it's own key? So the pig can only get 1k with this strat? Not that i condon this playstyle, but yeah

    Each trap has its own key

    But each key has a chance of being in any box, so some boxes can have multiple keys in them. I recently learned it's possible (albeit extremely unlikely) that 1 box has all 4 keys in it due to how the RNG works

  • @Slickstyles said:

    Easy fix to this problem. Make it so that the key is never in the first and last box. Therefore, if there are 4 boxes, the key would appear in the second/third box that is searched.

    Seee my comment on the matter:

    IMO taking away the fourth box hurts Pig badly. If you know you only have to search 3 boxes, you can easily get away with doing gens until the timer starts ticking (or, if you're really paranoid, doing one box and then doing gens until the timer starts).


  • I'd rather have other aspects of her kit buffed than having people have to repeatedly deal with her broken mechanic.

    Then just change the add-on to a better and less griefable add-on. That's what they did with Amanda's Letter.

  • Plus the feeling you get because you know you have to search xyz amount of boxes until you get your trap off can feel unpleasant. While the current system certainly could use some changes, it successfully avoids the feeling by not forcing all the boxes to be searched to remove a rbt

  • You know what is the big tragedy of this? Pig getting nerfed every other patch is a meme and self-deprecating joke by now, but this time Pig players are bringing it on themselves, and it's probably not Pig mains, but just some douches who are in for the lulz and the salty-tears-ride till its over.

    This add-on combo was fun when it was showcased on that video, but ever since it's just abused to make people angry or frustrated or just rile them up.

    THIS is something that you should kill-switch and then, while you come up with a solution, change the head traps so that all for have pre-determined 1-4 boxes assigned to them, like a lot of players already proposed, that's honestly one of the best ideas for Pig (even though it would giveca 1k to afk Pigs each time, which is why this add-on needs 1-3 assigned to its traps).

    Oooooooohhhhh, ok, thanks for clearing that up

    BHVR has make it very clear that kills = skill, why would you ban skilled play?

    Oh, now I see why killers pretend to get me on hook and camping whole game

    Good luck doing that in solo q.

    And please dont call this a "strategy" This is called Exploiting a design error and unspormantlike conduct.

    This is what in-game report says about it:

    UNSPORTMANTLIKE: Report this player for purporsefully losing the game, not participating in or disconnecting from the game early to avoid defeat. Examples: AFKING, rage quitting, IDLING, and refusing to participate in normal gameplay.

    EXPLOITING: ABUSING BUGS OR ERRORS IN DESIGN TO GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

    • Advertising exploits
    • Exploit bugs, errors in design, or undocumented features to gain access to what otherwise would not be available or to obtain a competitive advantage

    J-tec

    Locker tec

    Abusing the server validation

    These are also exploits that are now condidered as techs/strats


    And therr are many many more to the list on both sides


    Its still à strategy imo

  • @MikaelaWantsYourBoon said:

    Just wait people who will defend this trash gameplay. BHVR should ban people who is doing that. This is abusing of game design.

    And the sale can be said about so much more and à tons of other strats/techs on all sides

  • This doesn't really bother me, to be honest, but I'm also not really bothered by dying when I play survivor in general.

    The correct strategy, which someone already posted, is to 99 the gens and hope that she either leaves the box or you get hatch. It's hard to get solos to coordinate on that but, if they don't, then oh well. You had a weird match against a weird Pig.

  • Lol i dont agree with the playstyle but lets not pretend survivors dont get there trap off first try majority of time. At best 1k with this.

  • First of all, I haven't faced any afk pigs (yet). So I can't really say if this is a common issue or just the forum being the forum.

    Now on regard of a solution, as it was already pointed out. There's a way to play around it. Which shouldn't be hard, considering that the killer is afk.

    Is that fun? Probably not. But it's the same issue killers are still facing with Boil Over. However, Boil Over is considered intended gameplay by survivors. While this is considered an exploit by survivors.

    I don't want to be that guy, BUT they are either both exploits or both intended gameplay. There's no in between.

    Why did you guys do gens with a trap on?

  • @Ripley said:

    Pig does actually have to do something. Pretend to be AFK and risk getting false-reported.

    1. It's a ultra rare add-on.
    2. t's not a good strategy. RNG favours survivors. Most survivors get the hat removed after 1 box.
    3. Probably the only reason you're seeing more Pig matches is due to the Saw tome. She's such a joke that people expect you to play for boops and don't take her seriously

    As a survivor and killer player I'm guilty of expecting end game boops also sometimes I let people boop me sometimes I don't also I would be lying if I said the tome didn't convince me to try Pig which has filled the hole where legion once was I will always hate boons making legions ability basically useless unless you tunnel with it



    Also as much as a meme it is I have yet to encounter a box blocking Pig heck I have encountered more friendly pigs than them and I only encountered 2 lol


    Although I know they exist due to people complaining on the forums and seeing a video recommended to me on YouTube
