    So ummm....is there an easy killer to get 4 kills with fir the challenge? I get close as the pug, but one always manages to get away.

    I'm guessing I'll just keep plugging away at it

    I'd say just save this challenge for last - there really isn't a way to guarantee it short of de-ranking yourself. A few tips that will help:

    • Scummy as it is - tunneling one person out of the game quickly REALLY helps
    • If you have someone amazing at looping, don't commit to chasing them. Remember, if they are the last survivor, you only need to hook them once
    • Try a slugging build. Knock Out, Infectious Fright, Sloppy Butcher, Thanataphobia
    • Ebony Mori - it's an investment, but it can easily turn the game in your favor
    • If you see survivor(s) with keys - just dodge the lobby. Keys make 4Ks MUCH more difficult
    • Don't stress. If you just keep at it, you'll get a 4K eventually.
    • If you are really desperate try Hag or Myers. Both are fairly strong and straight-forward to play
  • I know Otz just did a video outlining pretty much the most efficient/toxic swf comp you can make, and adding a key to that just takes it to the next level. The day after the video came out - I went from rarely seeing Unbreakable or OoO to having at least one survivor run either of them every other game.

    Also, with insta-heals being nerfed, the next obvious target after would be keys and their stronger add-ons. Best to use them while they are at full power.

    Devs have stated themselves they do not want to punish people for playing with their friends

    Fair, but Devs have stated a lot of things - doesn't mean it is a perpetual statement.

  • There are a few options available, but BHVR has to first admit there is an underlying imbalance with SWF - which I'm not holding my breath for.

    Option #1: Disincentivize SWF - There are a load of options here: limit character/perk/add-on/offering options; reduce/remove BP/shard gains; increase objective timers/requirements; reduce the map pool; remove some pallets/jungle gyms; etc. Mix and match to your heart's content.

    Option #2: Incentivize Killers against SWF - It's usually not fun playing against SWF, so there are fewer options. A few I can think of: Increase BP/shard gains; Moris become baseline vs. SWF members; reduce the number of hooks needed/timer for SWF members; allow killer to select the map; empower killer (faster movement speed, improved killer power, etc.); allow additional perks/add-ons/offerings; etc.

    Option #3: Incentivize Solo Queue Survivor - You can do this by implementing any combination of the above, or tweak the experience. A few options: increase BP/shard gains; D-Strike & Deliverance are baseline; increase movement/action speeds; immunity to Moris/being the obsession; etc.

    Option #4: Going Nuclear - It's the least likely (and palatable) option, but it's 100% effective. BHVR just begins banning anyone using any sort of coms or 3rd party software of any type while in game. Scan randomly through the game, and if anything else is found running - you immediately disconnect, losing all items & progress.

    I am extremely upset with the new update causing swf to play against killers of the highest rank in your party. I think this is a very bad change causing me to not be able to play with my friends AT ALL. i was even starting to get some of them into the game and them wanting me to teach them now i can't cause i am red rank and all the killers have a heyday killing them leaving me useless cause i have nothing to work with. They can't ever get better at the game cause they die too quickly and i can only get them to play if its with me. i hope a change can be found to make all happy.

    It sounds like your friends really aren't into the game, and you were kinda forcing them to play as your space bar potatoes while you looped the killer.

    I can't imagine why they didn't find that fun.

  • Monitor & Abuse is really good since you're trying to sneak up on people.

    Surveillance is really underrated imo.

    Since you'll be eating pallets, Brutal Strength is really helpful - Overcharge/Pop Goes the Weasel pairs well (without relying on ruin to delay the game).

  • I've encountered the same issue with totems in general, so I've forgone running Ruin when playing Pig (and the majority of my killers).

    My typical build is M&A, BS, Enduring, & [something]. Typically something is Spirit Fury, but I also use Discordance/Surveillance regularly (depending on if SWF); Overcharge/PGtW (if I feel they will Gen Rush); or BBQ if I need to farm BP for someone. If you have a chance, I would check out PsychoScorpionz of twitch - he plays almost exclusively Pig and he never runs Ruin; he can give you some great insight.

  • I don't want any major changes for Freddy. My hopes are they just do a minor tweak on how sleep works. Making it increasingly penalizing to be slept multiple times:

    • 1st - Freddy can attack survivor; Survivor can now see Freddy;
    • 2nd - Sleep .8 second faster (Max 4 seconds), Survivor action speed reduced 8% (Maximum 40%)
    • 3rd+ - Repeat above effects (additive), plus various effects based on add-on
    • The add-ons reducing sleep time and action speed would be replaced with affliction add-ons (exhaustion, blindness, mangled, etc.)

    Past this, Adrenaline really shouldn't effect sleep, and it would makes sense for every add-on to afflict with exhaustion for X seconds (based on rarity)

  • How about we just remove SWF? Seems like it causes problems, and doesn't really fix anything.

  • After playing this garbage for a few days, I'm done until they fix the game.

    Bugs everywhere, d/c left and right, emblems system makes rank even more meaningless than it was previously, and now a 4+ minute wait to see you're if stuck with a toxic SWF group. This is a joke.

  • @No_Mither_No_Problem said:

    But I also really, REALLY wanna be able to rise up in rank without getting my butt touched aggressively every match.

    Why do you care about rank? Hitting constant 4man SWF isn't fun, and there is zero benefit to reaching any rank. Just play what you want and lobby dodge SWF groups.

  • Base simply off all the serial killer references, I'd have to go with the Clown. Any one of the serial killers are frighteningly successful enough - combined is a whole is a new level of body count.

  • Doctor and Freddy are easily my top two, but the Clown is quickly growing on me.

  • What I'd like to see:

    1. When asleep, the survivor suffers from Blindness and Exhaustion.
    2. Make Fire Up baseline (+14% action speed) & 120% movement speed base.
    3. Remove skill check fail to wake up; add "Snap Out of It" check.
    4. Sleep adds stacking debuff - reducing action speed 4/8/12%.
    5. Survivors cannot leave map while asleep.
  • Doctor >> Freddy > Pig =Hag > Huntress
    I've yet to play the Clown, but from what I've seen, he'll be between Doc and Freddy

  • I ignore them and find pallets to break. If they wait for me to chase them out, I send a report for holding the game hostage and farming bp/shards.
