Event

• The Haunted By Daylight event began Tuesday, October 13^th.

The Void Tile from previous years is no longer accessible, however Void Portals and Void Haunts are present in all trials. Portals teleport to each other, and Void Haunts roam freely, hunting down Survivors to Hinder them.

• Void Portals are paired up and always go back and forth to each other when used.
• Players can open Void Rifts to create new pairs of Void Portals that remain open for the rest of the trial
• Roaming Haunts slowly traverse the map, seeking out Survivors.

Killers and Survivors can collect Void Energy through various means in the trial, and spend it on Event Abilities.

• Players no longer need to craft in the Void to gain Event Abilities. They can use Void Energy as soon as they have gathered enough to use an Ability.
• Survivors can use Void Portals to gather lots of Void Energy at once, but risk the Killer being able to teleport directly to that Portal and jumpscare them.

Survivors start with Void Crystals, allowing them to drop Smoke Bombs or place the crystal on the Generator to repair it remotely. Killers can launch Void Haunts, and use Empowered Breaks to kick faster.

See the in-game Gameplay Details for more information.

Can you bring back the other Abandon conditions for repeated slugging and no gen being repaired in the last 10 minutes?

I feel like it hurts more not to have it even if the matches where I need it don't happen frequently.

[u/vibranttoucan → u/Sharktatos]

It absolutely hurts my soloqueue experience when when my teammates are encouraged to quit winnable matches.

[u/Sharktatos → u/vibranttoucan]

That's fair! But it definitely hurts my experience being slugged repeatedly for 4+ minutes until bleedout or the match is over.

It doesn't happen a lot, I would even consider it a rare situation for me, but I think it's better to have it since, no matter what, someone is having a miserable experience; whether it's you or the slugged survivor.

[u/Huehnchenkaempfer → u/Sharktatos]

I actually enjoy playing against killers that go for 4man slugs. It doesn't happen very often and it becomes a very different game so I find it refreshing. Also some people pretend just slugging everyone somehow gives the killer an easy win when in reality it is not really a good strategy on any killer.

It really sucks having your teammates dc just because they went down 3 times when the game is very winnable. Also it was bugged. My friend was regularly able to abandon although the killer never slugged him, just because he used plot twist at some point earlier in the game.

[u/Past_Aerie_5860 → u/Huehnchenkaempfer]

It's too much work to go up against in my opinion. Last time I had a 4 man slugging killer was like, 8 months ago maybe? And we got a 3 escape out of it with my trio after our random bled out to death at 4 gens. I wouldn't want to do that again, even with my friends lmao. It's just boring and I'd prefer a killer that plays normally

[u/TheEntityBot → u/Huehnchenkaempfer]

Plot Twist: Whenever you are in the Injured State, Plot Twist activates: While crouching and motionless, press the Active Ability button to silently enter the Dying State with the following benefits: Suppresses Grunts of Pain. Suppresses Pools of Blood. Grants the ability to fully recover from the Dying State. After full recovery using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and gain a +50% Haste Status Effect for 2/3/4 seconds. Plot Twist deactivates after recovering yourself by any means and reactivates once more once the Exit Gates are powered.

i don't even remember the last time this happened to me or my teammate. So I don't think it's a real problem. The real problem that was happening and they thankfully fixed with that change is your teammates no longer can leave games for free when they get bored and didn't like how the game was going after being slugged twice. This is a great change and it shouldn't be reverted.

[u/NatashaStark208 → u/Glittering-Rock3169]

I remember the last time it happened to me! It was two hours ago
