  • Hey all,

    Xbox One player here. I'm also a former video game developer (client and server code) for Disney.

    On Xbox One, killers face-camping the hooks is a game-breaking issue for new players-- I don't play survivor anymore because of it. Again, I'm only talking about Xbox One.

    Example: I bought the game for a friend, on the Xbox Live Store. He agrees to play with me. We party up with voice chat, and are excited to play together even though we're in different states. We don't have a single game where he doesn't get downed and face-camped. It ruined his opinion of the game.

    To be clear, I am NOT talking about legitimately chasing or searching for another survivor who insists on pressing a rescue attempt-- I'm talking about killers who do nothing but stand at or stay immediately near the hook until a survivor dies.

    // DEVS:

    I know you're watching. You already punish survivors for camping, with crows and noise notifications. Please accept the pleas of new players, experienced players, and industry veterans on Xbox One and punish killers for camping.

    Experienced players may know ways to counter the hook camping "strategy", but inexperienced players do not.

    If you choose not to punish killers for hook camping, please add a hook camping section to Survivor Training.

    I've presented the problem-- Thank you for listening. Now please let me offer some potential punishments, as a solution:

    • Increase killer sensitivity to flashlights within 16 meters of a hooked survivor.
    • 10 seconds after a survivor is hooked by the killer, any survivor may perform a decisive-strike-like or pallet-like stun on the killer within 16 meters of the hook.
    • Immediately after the killer hooks a survivor, some sort of "killer reward item" spawns 48 meters away from the hook, but it despawns after 20 seconds. This could even be a bonus "fifth perk" that lasts for 45 seconds.
    • 10 seconds after hooking a survivor, the hooked survivor begins to emit a blinding light that only the killer can see.
