Note to the new xeno players
Quit tunneling on a brand new killer when it's 5 gens. This is supposed to be one of the only times we actually play chill to learn the new mechanics. I literally can't even play the game half the time anymore and I just wanna see the bleeping killer FOR BLEEPS SAKE

The issue is that I can't play and learn because constant sweating at 5 gens like someone gonna win a $50k prize for killing everyone on a new release when it's basically ptb 2.0
You learn more from losing than from winning. It’s also not that radical if you have been playing DBD: Alien is antiloop. Set up flamethrowers near structures or a gen if you are on one.
You can't learn anything if you can't engage in the game. Do you think it's possible to just grab a turret mid chase and throw it down before the killer gets to you? There's practicing looping and then there's straight up dumb throwing. Hard tunneling at 5 gens is an exploit that has existed in this game for years. Make no mistake if you only have 2 hooks and it's end game then do what you gotta do. This is not one of those times.
Well that’s a general killer gameplay thing, which exists because gen defense perks stink. You can’t get mad at someone trying to win.
That hasn't been the case throughout the 7 years this game has been active. It just exists because devs don't see an issue with their players having bad experiences. I'm not even angry about tunneling in general I'm angry because the NEW KILLER THAT JUST GOT RELEASED is being played as if someone's life literally depends on it otherwise they themselves will end up in the entities realm. It's not unreasonable to want to experience the new things that are put in the game. That's what it's for
I mean they kinda have 'learnt how to play' as the killer if they're tunneling. Tunneling is and has pretty much always been the most efficient way of playing any killer on any map against any perks. It sucks that the best way of playing is also the most unfun for the other side but that's how the game is and there's no sign that BHVR is gonna change that anytime soon.
Also never really understood the idea that it's okay to tunnel when there's 1 or 2 gens left but it's forbidden to tunnel when there's 4 or 5 gens left. Multiple gens can pop anytime and the killer has no idea if this 4-gens-left will turn into a 2-gens-left in the next couple seconds. Heck I've had games where 3 gens pop within ten seconds of each other.
It's true that you don't always have that information but how often can you honestly say that 2-3 gens just simultaneously pop at the same time unless vs a swf. Also I find that tunneling with a killer that's new and nobody knows is just tacky and uncalled for. If you're playing you're prestige 100 huntress then yeah maybe you have something to prove but a killer that just released and you're already sweating with them? Where's the logic? Also playing that way doesn't teach you how to harness the killers powers and abilities (and also doesn't let you efficiently use add-ons to their most potential)
If that game was balanced around hooks and chases instead of kills, this wouldn't happen.
This is something I've said needs to be addressed several times throughout this games lifespan but it doesn't seem like the devs really seem to care about how people play so long as its escape/kill which is not really a fair way to judge a game thats never been balanced
You guys are only getting tunneled by Xenomorphs?
