Pretty interesting that outside of tips DBD mobile actually tells you other people are still loading in.
I like the "try repairing gens as fast as you can", as though there was an option to repair faster in base kit. Yeah sure, if there was a "safe vs fast" choice on gens when someone is facecamped (with fast maybe being continuous skillchecks but with much faster progress), I guess that advice would make sense. You could try and do gens as fast as you could. As it stands, you're still stuck with 90 seconds while your teammate dies on hook, unless you brought gen perks that allow you faster progress wihout being grouped up ! x)
Crazy idea I know but, what if gen speeds increase if killer is within x amount of distance of hook?
Has been suggested time and time again, but it needs a bunch of requirements. It shouldn't happen immediately, because the killer looking for another survivor close to where the hooked survivor is isn't immediately camping. If another survivor is within x amount of distance to the hooked survivor, it would also have to deactivate, or survivors could abuse the mechanic very easiy.
It would definitely work with enough additional conditions, but I think it would be a rather complex system for something that is basekit, and it wouldn't be very intuitive. I think much simpler and better first steps would be to inrcease the hook phase duration a bit, to fit better with the new gen times, and remove hook grabs. Those two changes would already go a long way.
It isn´t ignoring the problem. It is just how this can happen sometimes. And it tells you what you have to do in that case.
Often people will try everything to save and just die all. So the killer will probably do it again.
If you are lucky he gets 1 kill or 2 but not 4.
Also sometimes miracle saves can happen too. You have to know in which situation against which killer you can try nevertheless.
No, that is the actual solution.
Facecamping is a legit tactic. But it's supposed to cost the killer more. They're giving up all other pressure in order to secure one kill, the problem is this often isn't enough to cost them more kills, even if the camped survivor hangs on for the full 2 minutes.
Doing gens is the correct counter, it just needs to pay off more. So like, survivors should get a repair speed bonus while the killer is facecamping, or something like that.
I think survivors should get their own version of Bloodlust, let's call it.. Determination.
When a killer is within 24m of a hooked survivor for 20 seconds, all other survivors get Determination Tier 1, which gives them +5% bonus to all action speeds, including repairs, healing, vaulting, and unhooking. This becomes Tier 2 for +10% after another 20s, and Tier 3 for +15% after a further 20s.
(in order to prevent gaming the system, the timer doesn't reset when the killer goes further than 24m away, it only pauses, so if they're within 24m for 15s then go 30m away, then back in to 24m, they only have 5 more seconds before Determination tiers up)
Not only would this make facecamping cost more in terms of gen repairs, but if you camp out an entire hook state, survivors will now be able to unhook 15% faster too, making it harder to secure the kill entirely if they team up for a hook save.
This can't be abused by survivors by keeping the killer by the hook, because in order for a survivor to do that they need to not be working on a gen, and one less survivor working on repairs is more of a blow to repair progress than the +15% on the other survivors can make up for.
Aku's tips for facecamping:
its fun staring the hooked survivor in the eye, but it gets boring fast. Your attention will waver and you might not notice a cheeky rescuer, so stay attuned to your surrounding
ideally you want to camp a corner hook or a hill, in order to minimise the venue of approach
slowly panning your view looks professional, but is easy to predict and survivors can just sneak up to you. Look around in janky, erratic bursts and you will catch a surprising ammount of survivors with their pants down
double iri addons are fun for the situations when the survivors try to overwhelm your chainsaw with a well-orchestrated wave of survivors, styptics and DHs. Mow 'em down like grass!
the basement warrants special attention. For one its like super safe/dangerous and will secure a kill, but on the other hand it will deterre survivors from paying you a visit. Bonus points: by chosing the back-hook you can look your survivor friend in the eyes and still scan the suroundings
when they manage to unhook, just focus on the unhooked survivor. Your chainsaw will tear through the basekit BT like wet toilet paper and you can down them in no time again
You wanna try camping without Bubba? But why would you do that? Bubba loves camping :> uwu
Thats all for now, folks! Happy camping!
I also was disappointed with the contents of this post after reading the interesting title.
So lets brainstorm some more ;D
1) as the hag you can also facecamp by proxy. Just plonk down a trap at the hooked survivors feet.
2) some survivors know the trick of crouching through your traps, but a surprising amoung of survivors will click to unhook the moment they see the prompt, letting them blink the last 0,5m and activate your trap
3) always have Franklins equipped. Together with blood and bones, your special hook will also accumulate an impressive collection of toolboxes and medkits and, shortly after, survivor tears
4) if you hit them a bit away from the hook, just mark their items. The little goblins will be back in no time for their items, and then its hooking time again
As you can see Gramma knows some really spicy BBQ recipes. Try them out on your next proxy camping session.
When facecamping, so that the survivor knows you haven't gone AFK, try nodding happily at them. If you see a survivor coming to investgate, nod happily at them too. Survivors appreciate you letting them know that you are still there and will probably thank you in the end game chat.
