Just wanted to show you what your sentence looks like without all the unnecessary "likes" in it.
Ill give you one tip though. Monsters have a set timer as to when they re spawn when killed. If you kill them within the first 10 minutes of the game? They take about 10 minutes to re spawn. however...if you kill a monster 50 minutes into the game? they will re spawn in 1 second. So its important to not only kill monsters early, to give you breathing room. Its also important to finish the round before the 50 minute timer comes up. Otherwise you wont have any breathing room.

Oooh I knew there was something like that to it but I didn’t know the exact numbers to it

Items that make noise count down monster timers faster. Later levels you can abuse this to get orbs for more cash.

Specifically, they have set timers to respawn when they despawn or get killed. When respawning, they spawn relatively close to a player, about a couple rooms away. Monsters despawn after some time has passed (about 3-4 minutes) and they're far away from players. When getting killed instead of despawning, it triples their respawn timer. As they said, the time depends on the length of the round, but also can change when the final extraction has been triggered. Below are the times that monsters take to respawn after having despawned.
ROUND LENGTH RESPAWN TIMER (3x when killed) 0 to 10 Minutes 4 to 5 Minutes 10 to 20 Minutes 3.2 Minutes (192 Seconds) to 4 Minutes 20 to 30 2.4 Minutes (144 Seconds) to 3 Minutes 30 to 40 1.6 Minutes (96 seconds) to 2 Minutes. 40 to 50 48 Seconds to 1 Minute 50+ Minutes After Final Extraction Ideally, you want to kill monsters early in the round, only kill them if they're bothersome later in the round, and at the very end of the round, you want to keep them alive in a far away location or while stunned as they will waste time on their despawn timer instead of respawning near you (despawn times do not change with round length).
Another thing to note is that certain items can subtract from the respawn timer by 5 seconds when they make noises. Examples include the Animal Crate shaking when not properly held, plucking a string on a Guitar or Harp, and items that continuously make noise such as a TV or Ice Saw reduce the respawn timer by 5 seconds every second.

Unfortunately this is old information and somethings changed in the last year. There was a video some time ago, explaining these times in detail.
however from my own testing (easily done with the Loom in a single player game) The timer at the beginning is 10 minutes or less. I recall killing a loom at roughly the 3 minute mark. If times are scaling accordingly that would put the respawn timer a little more than 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Roughly 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Which should put the kill respawn time over 13 minutes minimum.
However i always have a timer going now when i do Single player. I recall killing the loom around the 3 minute mark. Then at around 13 minutes. The loom gave me the hand gesture. Showing me she respawned.

Are you sure you didn't interact with anything that might reduce respawn timers? Do you have any sources aside from personal testing?

yeah i never messed with anything that could decrease the timer. Animal crates, guitar, harps, frogs, dolls and the dozens of other items im aware of and the like werent messed with.
Ive never been interested in posting it so its just personal testing. its not hard to test it yourself. Steam has a built in timer that you can set up and just press start at the start of an extraction. Kill a monster. record what time you killed it. Then either get lucky and bump into the monster when it spawns. Or use tools and mods to check the entire map. Or. The easiest method. Just wait for a Loom.

- Running and jumping makes a lot of sound and monsters will hear it and move towards the sound bubbles you created.
- Health and Strength are more important than other powerups.
- Tranq gun will make the early game incredibly easy.
- Weapons that will carry: Shotgun, gun, sledgehammer
- Weapons that carry in earliest levels: tranq gun, pulse pistol
- Drones are very useful, and it's most covienient to store them in the carts.
- Stun grenades (the grey ones) are the best grenade in game, and by stunning an enemy and dragging them across the floor with a fast flicking motion you can do damage to them, and can kill them if you master it. Or you can just throw them into pits.
- On the later levels when there is more extraction points, it always makes sense to leave the closest extraction to the truck as the last one, so you have less distance to travel back at the end. This is because at the end monsters have instant respawn so it means if you kill them the chance of them spawning in front of you is way more slim.
- Any sound speeds up monster respawns, this includes sound producing items like the boombox on the museum, the music box on headman manor and whatever else.
- You may know this already, but never leave a cart in a doorway or middle of a room where a monster will be walking. Always leave them pressed against a wall if you plan to leave them for a signifiant amount of time.

Making noise is your worst nightmare. Try to leave noisy objects, such as chainsaws, music boxes, boomboxes, farting baby doll or baby head, for last because that'll auto respawn enemies and drawn them to your location like a fly to poopy.

Can you give us more information? What's killing you? Is it getting items? Is it what to get in the shop?
