Coyle just knows yer hiding spot bug

[Jackofalltrades]

can anyone explain to me why Coyle tends to just randomly know where you're hiding when the exit is available? was in a locker once and actually got unfairly one shot by him just randomly running to my exact locker and finding me as he also had that stupid prime asset one hit kill thing.

Person who gave you a jester reward has a tiny d!ck. Yes this has happened from time to time with me, best to just stay the ♥♥♥♥ away from Coyle. Honestly I find his AI rather twitchy as of late.

Was playing escalation and Coyle walked past me, I was crouch walking the whole time, when I turned around he attacked, it was really random. The modifier was BE QUIET so I crouched the whole time in the dark, no doors were open to indicate my visibility and neither was I underneath any lights.

The game was rigged from the start

If you hide in a hiding place too long, you will be forced out eventually. If you run up to the hiding place making noise, they're going to go to the last place they heard you. The last place they heard you was right outside your hiding place, they're going to check. If they see you get in or see you peeking out (without that one amp)...I shouldn't have to tell you what happens next. Nothing in this game is going to casually spawn in and walk right up to you unless you've just been sat still for ages

It's not a bug, Coyle is just that big of a chad that he refuses to follow any rules or logic within the game's boundaries. Keep your Stun ready and your pants up when he's around.

when you lose line of sight, Coyle will follow you to the last room you are in and check a random hiding spot. then walk off. if there's only one hiding spot in the room you are in, you are fried.

In all Outlast games, hiding is a toss up. You are not secured anywhere unless you have the "invisible" perk. Even then, you can't be close to whoever is chasing you or they will pull you out. When a PA is coming out of the elevator, the AI leads them to a players last location, so if you are in a locker when that happens, you have a solid chance of getting found out. Gooseberry has gotten me more than Coyle, but same thing applies.

Generally, if they're in their search routine, there's a chance they search one nearby hiding spot and there's a chance that it is one with a player in it.

The exception is the amp that allows you to peak and still not get checked on, as that will also prevent those random checks (though if they see you jump in, then they'll still find you obviously)

Honestly from my experience, while getting chased if you go into a room close the door and the enemy has not seen you go into the hiding spot they will always either skip the search or check the one spot next to you with or without the invisible perk, if not then either they changed it in a patch or i've been incredibly lucky all those many times.
