Went through first two USA missions for liberation relatively well, and now I’m on this one

Holy shit am I not prepared

Got the first 3 points really well, just used my observer to shell the AT guns and moved in with infantry and vehicle to mop up.

Now on my way to the fourth point, I take out a few of the anti tank guns surrounding it and take up positions ready to attack.

BUT whenever I destroy this one specific AT gun, the Germans fucking divert all their forces on the Eastern Front and the surrounding areas to come fuck me up. And they are great at doing it.

The second it’s destroyed, I get absolutely pummelled by artillery that I can’t see the origin of, but definitely out of reach from my mortars and observer which usually takes out most of my infantry in 3 shots because apparently Germany discovered GPS guided shells during the war

Then a shit load jagdpanzers come out to play and I can’t pen them from the front with my anti tank or my tanks for that matter, and if I go and try to flank them from the sides, I end up in Vietnam because the trees and bushes start shooting at my tanks with anti tank guns or there will be another tank hidden nearby.

My anti tank guns? They don’t exist. The moment they fire a shell they get destroyed by pinpoint artillery or the Jagdpanzers delete them. My AT infantry? They already died in the first artillery bombardment.

Honestly, what do I do? I really like this game but sometimes it feels impossible which is obviously a skill issue on my part.

Do I pull all my units back and try to defend in a different area and trigger the German counter attack by destroying the AT gun?

Does the counter attack stop? Or will it only stop if I capture the 4th point?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Why you don’t get achievements for killers disconnecting once the last gen pops baffles me.

I’m currently doing the survivor generalist achievements, and had quite a few rough matches. But the last few times I was on course to escaping a trial, the killer disconnects and snatches the progress towards the achievement away from me.

Just had a Bubba who disconnected on the last gen too before making the post.

It was a pain in the ass getting adepts too with killers disconnecting.

I’m on the first mission as the Germans in Ostfront campaign

Did the first objective and now I gotta clear a village.

Protected by two anti tank guns and a tank, which I took out leaving the anti tank weapons.

Obviously it shreds my tanks so I can’t bring them forward, so I bring my infantry up and take out the AT guns. But then they in turn get shredded by tanks in the village aswell as infantry.

Are there any tactics I can use? I do use smokes to try and give me concealment, but I still end up being shredded by a tank nearby that I have seen yet.

Once I get the hang of using infantry and tanks together, I think I’ll be golden

It’s 2026 and people are still doing that??

Doing Alan Wake adept in a match against Demigorgon. Dwight got downed across the map in basement and got hooked as Sable was opening gate.

So mind you, bloodwarden wouldn’t even be in play right now. And after Dwight gets unhooked, we’ll all be on deathhook.

Anyway, as Sable was opening the gate I begin making my way down to the shack for a save.

Saw demi leave in his portal so I go for the unhook.

Demi obviously comes back after I unhooked and intercepts so I take chase and divert away from shack as Sable and Dwight heal behind the shack.

Little did I know, the gate wasn’t even opened. I was so focused on the save I didn’t clock the gate wasn’t even open yet.

I loop the killer and head right towards the gate. I have enough distance that I would have made it to the line, but no I break my nose on the big ass door that was closed..

I had to head to the panel and manage to open the gate but of course the Demi catches up and downs me. By now the other 2 caught up and the Dwight gets downed somehow, I assume it was to try and flash save as he made several attempts prior.

Demi pressures the Sable out and I get picked up literally millimetres away from escaping. Dwight luckily had unbreakable and escaped.

99ing the gate ALMOST got us a 1 out had Dwight not have unbreakable, but of course I still died because of it so the Demi got a 2K.

To the new players, PLEASE do not 99 gates. Bloodwarden is hardly ever picked, and you have MORE than enough time to make a rescue and reach the exit with the end game timer. More often than not it gets someone killed, like i just did who also lost out on an adept.

If you DO decide to 99 the gate, wait by the fucking gate and open it when you see the survivors coming. I have no idea how you expect survivors to open the gate mid chase and also escape without the killer being on their asses.

Just open the damn gates.

I don’t know, the entire day today I’ve had quite a few matches with very suspicious killers making a beeline right towards survivors nearby.

Could be behind a rock/wall ready to go for the unhook, not injured, not disturbing any crows but the killer will make a DIRECT beeline towards the survivor, sometimes lunging before they get a full visual. It doesn’t even have to be nearby hooks or anything either.

No aura perks or addons or anything basekit with their abilities either.

Once or twice a game I can chalk it up to being lucky, but the entire match I get a bit suspicious.

Anyone else experiencing it? Of course with no proof I can’t say for certain, same with when a survivor runs you a bit TOO good you can’t know for certain.

But it’s enough to leave a little sour taste in my mouth

Whenever I play survivor and see survivors with matching usernames, especially the ones who are in relationships in real life, so one would for example be called “beansenjoyer” and the other “beansenjoyer bf” I just sigh at this point, because 8/10 times it’s a rough match because they are GLUED together the entire match.

Ironically I also play with my girlfriend, but ITS ALWAYS the ones with matching usernames.

I was just on Badham and was in a chase with Jason. Looped him for around 80% of a gen before being downed because I got stuck by an object in a loop. Slightly annoying but it happens.

I got put on the hook in the street near the ambulance.

I see they are both working on a generator in the house opposite killer shack, but as soon as Jason went into power, they both jumped off the generator. Was 80% complete so they could have finished it off but hey ho I guess.

My girlfriend was working on a gen near them and Jason finds her so she’s in chase now. Perfectly visible on the hud.

They are BOTH still hiding in the house, and get back on the gen around 10 seconds later. Annoying because you DONT need 2 people on a gen that’s 80% complete when I’m across the map already on hook for 20 seconds at this point. It’s the start of the match too.

For some reason they both get off gen for a few seconds so I was thinking they were going to get me? But they crouch for a bit in the house and get back on the gen again.

Generator FINALLY pops and they leave the house and the both of them, because they are glued together run into the Jason chasing my girlfriend gets pressured themselves already on the other side of the map.

Now my girlfriend has been left alone, she came to me for the rescue and unhooked me just as I entered second stage.

And of course because the other 2 survivors have to be together at all times for some reason, both get downed by the Jason.

We lose the match obviously, but EGC one of them said “sorry you entered second stage, I was being chased”

I’m sorry?? My girlfriend was being chased the entire hook stage whilst you were both in the house committing to a gen that the ONE of you could have popped by the time you reached me on hook. You were NOT in chase until the final moment.

Not only that, if you weren’t scared of Jason’s power, you would have done the gen MUCH sooner.

I checked their profiles and one had 2k hours and the other had 3K hours but they can’t understand the basics? And STILL crouch and hide whenever Jason is in power. It’s just insane to me.

Obviously not all matching usernames do this, but in my experience the majority do and it always hinders the team because we’re not getting good gen pressure, and when one is in chase, the other always is too because they are ALWAYS next to each other.

It’s genuinely not a date, you can split up lmao.

I’m a killer main myself, the event CAN be rough at times no doubt, especially when the survivors constantly have a morsel in hand for the effects.

But anyways, the event is also miserable when the killers are utilising the sweatiest playstyles.

Decided to play the survivor side as my girlfriend wanted to play. We were both adepting Rick so we already aren’t using “meta” perks. We matched against a Wesker and they’d constantly returned to hook and tunnelled out the Cheryl in the team at 5 generators, and did the same for me next. I led him on very decent chases, but as the other random wasn’t going on gens, we couldn’t capitalise on the long chases.

Down to two left, and he downs the other random who has 0 hooks and slugs them looking for my girlfriend. Downs my girlfriend and then starts humping and hitting the other survivor on the floor BEFORE finally hooking the random and mori my girlfriend.

So on top of that, he wasted time in a match he won and just straight up being a dick too.

Normal queue, I wouldn’t mind the tunnelling as much because it’s a proper game of DBD, but in an event mode where everyone brought cakes? It’s strange behaviour in my opinion.

Yes the event is survivor sided, but you can win games AND get more BP perfectly fine just playing the game as normal. If you’re not playing the event for fun, and to play around with the mechanics, why queue up for the mode?

Let me start by saying because I know there will be a couple;

No I do not think unbreakable is busted or OP, nor do I think it needs any changes or tweaks. It’s perfectly fine.

I just wanted to tell you about a match I had.

Let me also add, I haven’t seen unbreakable in a good 20 matches.

I’m playing as Plague to get her Terminal Illness achievement, and I load into Azarov’s resting place. Already a bad map for low mobility killers who have no map pressure, but to make matters worse, a survivor brought in Shroud of Separation so I can see there’s 2 survivors on either side of the map which is bad news.

Long story short, I get to 1 gen. 1 survivor on death hook, one on 1 hook, one on 0 hooks and the last survivor is literally seconds from dying on the hook. Everyone is fully infected.

I intercepted a survivor who managed to rescue on hook and down them, infectious fright gave me the location of another survivor and down them, with infectious fright leading me to the NEXT survivor and downing them. Thanks to coup de grace, these chases were near instant.

Then infectious fright leads me to the person who just got off hook and she leads me on a semi decent chase. With SUCH GLEE I happily go on the chase because I just snowballed into a perfect comeback victory.

But thanks to the icons being red from the full infection, I didn’t notice one of the survivors got up from unbreakable and healed recovered the others until he got them both up. That smile wiped off so fucking quickly and by the time I got back to them, they disappeared and cleansed their infections.

The last gen was a series of them pre running the second my TR made an appearance so i couldn’t quite commit as they made so much distance already against a low mobility killer.

I ended up with a 2K that game.

I NEVER see unbreakable, but the games where I manage to snowball like I did here, there’s always a survivor who magically has unbreakable and it’s insane lmao, it’s just my luck.

The last time I saw unbreakable, I downed a survivor at a 99 gate, saw another lurking nearby so I chased them and once I hooked them, the survivor picked themselves up and escaped.

Didn’t see unbreakable before that for a good 10 or so matches too.

It’s like the game knows I’m about to have a great come back via snowball and just shoves unbreakable into a survivor loadout real quick haha.

This may just be my new favourite perk in the game.

I’ve been going through the entire killer roster to get all achievements tied to the killers, and my god I should have begun using this perk earlier.

Managing to win 50/50s because you can swing earlier and catching survivors at vaults they’d have usually made is so satisfying haha.

Not to mention the cocky survivors at gates thinking they can tea bag you further from the exit line because you’re an M1 killer but you fucking teleport onto them and down them

Such a great perk you all need to try on M1 killers

What team, no matter how good your form is or how much better your team is on paper consistently causes you problems and beats you?

Right now mine is Getafe as I’m managing Real Sociedad.

In the Premier League, it’s always Brighton and Norwich.

No idea who in their fanbase practices voodoo magic but they need to stop hexing my fucking players

Just had a bit of a rough match on Midwich as Nemesis. Missed my early whips so couldn’t get tiers as quick as I would like.

Anyway, last gen pops and I’m on 12 hooks so it was a close match regardless. I was trying to get my whip achievement for Nemesis so I wasn’t playing as optimally. Could have downed survivors at many moments but missed the whip instead lmao, so it could have turned another direction.

Anyways, gate opens and I head there to see 2 of the survivors haven’t left and have just stood there, but for some reason Ace was stood closer to the gate than the exit line, so I hit him in to get him to leave, but for some reason he thought he wanted to get a quick loop out? He drops the pallet by the gate and I’m assuming he expected me to loop it as the other killers would so he can “game” me one last time but I just broke it with my whip where he then panicked and ran into the classroom next to the gate and I downed & hooked him.

Went back to gate and the other survivor was STILL there but hiding close to the gate but in the corner assuming I wouldn’t see her, I hit her and she got stuck through the speed boost or something because I managed to hit her again and down her which I hooked.

A guarantee 4 out turned into a 2K.

Never understand survivors who want to antagonise killers by forcing them into a small chase or to spin their attacks when they can simply leave, especially since this can happen.

It wasn’t even a stomp on their behalf too, the Ace managed one stun the entire match and his chases were average at best, I have no idea why they thought they could pull it off when we were all evenly matched lmao.

Hello, I couldn’t quite figure out how to name the title so I’ll explain it more below.

Pretty much I had a save going on PlayStation wi to my girlfriend who was on PC last year or the year before and been thinking of getting it on PC myself now

However, I didn’t like the loot system in the game. I didn’t like how you had to read magazines in order to get better loot.

It made clearing buildings/military bases that had a shit load of zombies less fun and rewarding because I knew I wouldn’t get anything good out of it. It just wasn’t exciting like in the old game where you could find a pistol in some house for example.

Is there a mod that spawns gear/weapons around the world without having to read magazines in order to have a chance of finding them? Similar to old 7D2D or DayZ?

Hello,

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people being frustrated with the game and the losses they get, so I suggest perhaps just simply play for fun, instead of for the win.

I recently got all the killers in the game and I decided to challenge myself to get all the achievements associated with each killer.

And honestly, it’s been pretty damn fun. I’m playing killers I never thought to even try, and been running fun builds because I’m not focusing on winning, I’m just doing the objective of each achievement. The wins are genuinely just a bonus.

Pig I had a lot of fun, I just focused on getting 4 traps per game and then had a whirl with the dash mind games and had plenty of 4K’s

Oni the achievement was quite good. The dash is really fucking fun and getting the flicks is satisfying.

I’m currently getting the achievements for Dredge, and again I’m having a blast. catching survivors at loops with the remenant is great.

Do I still pressure gens? Yes but I haven’t been AS much as a lot of the achievements require using the killers ability so I’ve just been chasing survivors and it’s been a blast. I’ve had some very fun chases.

I still win, but the losses feel less disheartening as I have a completely different goal in mind.

If you’re not having fun playing the normal game loop, make your own fun.

Try different killers and different builds and try not to take too much care into whether it’s a 4K or a 4E. I’ve found myself a lot less frustrated doing this.

Hello, I finally finished off getting all the killers in the roster.

But I have a problem, last year I would switch up my killers all the time until I settled on Nurse and pretty much played exclusively only her, so apart from the killers I previously played, majority of the killers are without prestige as I invested all my BP into Nurse and for some reason, Sable who is P18 when I barely play survivor lmao.

But now when I dabble with other killers, I sometimes can’t use fun builds as I either haven’t got enough BP to level the perks up, or a perk is straight up not available as the killers it’s from isn’t prestiged.

which order should I prestige my killers by order of useful perks/fun perks for fun builds?

At the minute I have:

P18 Nurse - main
P6 Dracula - old main
P3 Bubba for his BBQ
P3 Huntress for a doctor build
P3 ghostface
P3 Blight
P3 Artist for pain res
P3 nemesis for lethal pursuer
P3 Knight for NTH
P3 Lich
P3 hound master
P2 trapper
P2 executioner
P2 twins
P2 sadako
P2 Oni
P1 Clown
P1 Spirit
P1 Plaque
P1 legion
P1 Krause
P1 Springtrap
P1 ST Vecna
P1 Wraith.

My original plan was to get the P2’s to P3 first, and I might still just do that as they are close already, but if there are fun/good perks on other killers I’ll prioritise them.

Thankyou!

Decided to give skill check doctor a whirl, and I get put into Hawking Laboratory which is perfect with the close vicinity for my blasts.

2 minutes into the match I was already getting bombarded with sound notifications of failed skill checks at generators, and my hex actually had an amazing spawn being in the middle of 3 barrels so if the survivor found it, they HAD to go searching for it. Was impossible to see by chance.

I didn’t get much value out of my overcharge perk because I kicked maybe 3 generators but there was really no need because they were regressing the generators themselves with the failed skill checks.

Felt so fun, but also felt so bad because I’ve been on the other end haha, but I’ll definitely be running this build every now and then when I’m fancying a change in gameplay.

Dreading the bigger maps though, not sure if it would be as effective.

I’m a 90% killer main but I’ve been playing quite a bit of survivor recently, mainly to get the RPD achievement and now to play the Greenville showcase so my gf can learn maps better.

However, I kid you not around 70% of the killers have been slugging for the 4K. Makes no sense during the showcase as you gain no MMR or whatever, but hey ho.

On maps like Greenville where the maps are big, I’ve had games where I fully bled out for the full 4 minute duration of my bleedout timer as the killer couldn’t find the last survivor. Hell, I had killers proxy camping me waiting for the survivor to come heal me, so I really don’t blame the other survivor for not coming for the save most times, I’ll only be insta downed anyway and the search will restart thus the match being further elongated

In situations like this, there really should be a feature that allows the survivor to force bleed out and die after x amount of seconds so hatch can spawn. The survivor can wait out the bleedout timer if they want to, but the choice is there.

I’ve seen people mention an abandon feature, fair, but this isn’t going to stop the killer from slugging for 4K’s and the match is still going to be longer than it should be for the survivor that’s still healthy.

It’s simply a waste of time, and I’ve seen discussions about this with the killers calling survivors who call out this behaviour entitled, but it really isn’t. No player wants to wait 4 minutes because the KILLER feels ENTITLED for the 4K.

The match was already won after the down, you have your 3K, so let the intended game mechanic play out and find the hatch to get your 4K.

Been trying to find Koleg the Bloodaxe for the last 20 minutes with no luck

He’s Sturgia culture so I asked the tavern keeper in every Sturgian city if they know of a lieutenant but none mentioned him, so then I went to the taverns of a lot of cities of different culture to see if they heard of him, which they haven’t

So I decided to go back to Sturgia and ask them about owners of the towns to see if he’s apart of their clans.. which he wasn’t, and so I checked the clans that own Sturgian castles to see if he was apart of them.. he wasn’t.

So now I’m out of ideas and have no idea how to find him apart from encountering him by chance.

I did however end up with information regrading other characters which will be useful to me down the line, but I want fucking Koleg

Would genuinely be great if you could bookmark a character and pay a tavern keeper for example if they have heard anything about X character, with a chance they haven’t.

Because I’m getting the location of everyone and their mothers dog instead of the character you want.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can do to find this person?
