You can camp if you want - this is camping. But there is also the counter strategy of not saving the survivor and finishing all gens. Keep that in mind that this is very possible

Hey people of the fog!

As some of you might have noticed, some sub-categories have disappeared.

These would be:
  • Bug Reports - PC
  • Technical Support
  • Console
  • Bug Reports - Console

Just like all the exclusive, official announcements and information have only been available on the official forum since May 2018, these cateogries now have been fully moved to the official forum.

Bloodpoints do not factor into the balance in the slightest. You don't win the match because you earned more points than the other guys. That bit can be discarded if we're discussing balance.

As for the aura reading aspect, there are multiple counters. You could hop in a locker to stop your aura from being read. You can stand on the opposite side of a generator to hide your aura behind the generator's. If all else fails and you can't manage either, you can even run Distortion to hide your aura three times.

It's got quite a bit of counterplay. You have the power to completely negate the effect.

Sure. There's a couple things it does.
  1. The terror radius is replaced with the lullaby. This makes it difficult to tell how close the killer is, whether he's chasing someone or coming for you.
  2. His generator teleport cooldown is reduced by 15% each sleeping survivor. (60% total for all 4)
  3. Only sleeping survivors are affected by his traps.
  4. Certain add-ons add action speed penalties for sleeping survivors.
  5. If they are using dream pallets, you'll want to wake up often to see which are real, and toss down any fake ones you notice next time you fall asleep.
There's no penalty to waking up; it's not like the Plague where cleansing makes her more powerful. Waking up only benefits the survivors.

You should actually keep your offering. If won't be equipped, but you should still have it. Basically the game does this:
  • You use an offering
  • The offering is immediately removed from your inventory
  • Someone crashes or loses connection while loading
  • The game notices that someone's missing and cancels the match
  • Anyone still in the match at that point receives a copy of whatever they used
Unless you are the person who lost connection or crashed, you should still have your offering. It won't be equipped because the one you had was used and you were then given a new one, but it'll be in your inventory. If this is not happening, please let us know and we'll investigate.

If you're referring to movement speed, no. Your speed is the same regardless of your framerate. Whether the game is running at 10 FPS or 100 FPS, you'll move at the exact same speed.

This will happen any time a new killer is added (or reworked, in Freddy's case). A lot of people want to play the new killer and there's just not enough survivors to fill the lobbies. It should gradually return to normal over time, but there's not too much we can do; at the end of the day we're limited by how many survivors are available to put in your lobby.
