So, how about that new basekit BT? You guys notice it?
The thing I noticed the most in my games was the speed
I was playing with a healing build and I'd unhook people and I'd try to follow them to heal them and they'd zoom off like roadrunner, leaving me in the dust with my we'll make it active. Pretty funny
Also to the people who are running BT the perk, my hat goes off to you because it is insanely strong now

10-20s immunity are not to be wasted of they can laugh at the 🤡.
That's your role as Killer, your fun does not matter. As a matter of fact, next time make sure to miss one swing before eating endurance for more fun, maybe step in your own trap as The Trapper.
good, it needed to be. If killers still don't get the message BHVR will need to increase the protections for the unhooked person. Camping outside of end game collapse needs to die as a strategy...completely.
It is hands down the least fun game experience, and why the hell would anyone willingly subject themselves to it. There are so many other diversions available.
I play pretty much with consideration as killer. Spread my hooks, usually give hatch, etc. As a result the BT changes don't ever really effect me. However, if a survivor puts themselves in a bad position with a bold play, I usually won't hesitate to capitalize on it. Flashlight saves, bodyblocks, sabos, hook bombs, all are valid plays for the survivors, but unless they are exceptionally good or lucky, they will likely get punished for it. If you are attempting to go after someone else, but the same survivor keeps interfering, it's not tunneling at that point.
I mean, I don't disagree (mostly - there are times when camping is the smartest thing the killer can do, as opposed to being lazy or mean-spirited. There's no reason for the killer to leave if they know the survivors are in the area, the survivors are very stealthy, or if there's something else nearby that also needs guarding), but running Off the Record is still by and far the best thing you can do in that regard. OTR lets them commit to tunneling you, you can loop them for a while, and still get an Endurance hit. While 20s BT is fantastic, you have to eat the hit early even if you were in a position to make distance. I run it because OTR isn't nearly as ubiquitous as it should be.
Either way, I do think the 10s BT + haste was a helpful change against tunneling. It's way better than the 5s BT + haste, which I thought was nearly useless.
I'm not too worried about people bodyblocking with base BT because not only does 10s not leave much margin of error to reach an escape point, it's 100% predictable. You know for sure they have Endurance; just call their bluff and wait it out, unless they're perfectly silent and have OTR, in which you hit them and switch targets.
Use-at-will stacking endurance wouldn't be enough to discourage 5-gen tunneling. Dicks gonna dick. :(
I love it.
I ran BT AND Guardian in most of my games yesterday, and in almost all of them the killer still tunneled the first survivor out of the game. On several occasions, I put myself in a compromising position to goad chase, but the killer still searched for the recently unhooked survivor and tunneled them out of the game.
Hell, I took multiple killers on long chases yesterday, only for them to procc my OTR endurance 60 seconds after I was unhooked and keep chasing me. I don't recall escaping in any of those games, because tunneling me was still more efficient than splitting hook states on other survivors.
Man, i really need to test an endgame (Borrowed Time + Guardian + No one Left Behind) unhook just to see how fast can a human run
One thing that creeps me out sometimes are people who say "Well if the killer still wants to tunnel, he can just do it" yeah no #########. There are a lot of people currently who really say that 10-sec base BT does nothing. It was never meant to make tunneling impossible, just to make it harder.
So last few games I basically tunneled down a number of people. It's a waste of time for me, I usualy don't do that because I like it far better to spread pressure, and not allowing them to heal. But these people basicaly run towards me to use the silly BT for body block, protect others instead of escaping. They actually run after the killer now, instead of AWAY. So tunneling them is perfectly fair since they are literally begging to be killed :)) So much for "anti tunneling" perk basically it teaches people to tunnel.
Biggest thing basekit bt did was actually increase the effectiveness of perk bt
I don't see a problem with the scenerio that you brought up. At that point the survivor has made it clear that they are willing the risk of getting tunneled to protect their team mate. Just like with any protection hit, hit them and then go after them or the other.
I hear all the time , I shouldn't have to follow the survivor rule book, but what about the killer rule book. Apparently some killers think that it's against some unwritten rule to body block with BT after getting unhooked.
I notice the speed too, for sure, the BT portion of it not so much as it hardly gets used, but maybe that's a great deterent for killers at least!
No because I don’t tunnel 😎
Definitely needs a nerf. 20 seconds of invulnerability and road runner speed is insane.
