Don't buff the basekit bt to fix tunneling.

The way it is being done isn't going to properly solve tunneling, and it can actually be used by coordinated groups to bully killers by forcing body blocks and such.


The best way to do this is to scrap the entire idea of base kit BT entirely.

Create a new status effect called "Ethereal" that is granted to the survivor when they are unhooked that does the following:


  • The survivor does not make scratch marks
  • The survivor does not have collision.
  • The survivor is invisible to the killer.
  • The survivor makes 0 noise (not even footsteps)
  • The survivors movement speed is increased by 200% (double movement)
  • The survivors is unable to perform any action that progresses the game (conspicuous actions).
  • After 45 seconds or when another survivor is downed, the survivor is removed from this state and automatically healed.
  • This effect is deactivated when the exit gates are powered.


This will prevent tunneling completely, while also helping solo queue survivors out. It also forceably gives the survivor a little "timeout" that gives the killer some more map pressure giving them time to start another chase with a different survivor, whether that be the unhooker or someone else.
