Is there any point to quietly escaping your restraints?

[100% Wolf Urine]

Instead of just tapping E to go as fast as possible?

The Family already knows you're in the basement. Escaping quickly might show them the exact spot in the first 5 seconds, but you'll be gone by the time they show up.

So is there any reason you wouldn't go with the fast & loud escape?

Too much noise wakes peepaw. Killers can't enter the basement if he's still asleep. Well, other than Bubba.

[Bing Bong]

Given what you have stat wise you can prevent sound. It helps the team, whether they know it or not.

So yes.

[Necromancer]

If you make too much noise it wakes up grandpa, and when he is awake it means the other killers that spawned upstairs can now enter the basement. So you might want to prevent that for as long as possible so you are only dealing with 1 killer (leatherface) that spawns in the basement at the start of the game.

Whenever my team mates wakes grandpa up in basement before opening the basement door, it's a living hell for me when all the hunters are in the basement

[CLOCK IT]

noise, but honestly a silly mechanic that needs to be removed asap. All the qte mashing in this game sucks

[Breaker]

Family cant go into the basement with leatherface as long as grandpa is asleep.
If they got neither cook nor hitchiker they dont have to set up anything really - so they can just go down the basement with leatherface while every door is still locked for your team

NO NONE AT ALL, I wish all the survivors would hurry up and wake grandpa up so he can sonar them for us

[Ikit Claw]

All my teammates and I quickly struggle out, I've never had it wake up grandpa.
I don't think grandpa wakes during the family cut scene?

[Your memes end here]

having to deal with grandpa's sonars will slow you down

not really , the killers cant even move for like 15 seconds after the suvivors start messing with their ropes. so youre good.

Yeah I now understand the theory of why you wouldn't want to struggle fast, but in practice I've never seen Grandpa wake up right away when doing it. Does it just lower the threshold so the smallest of sounds wakes him up after the cutscene?

There are perks to avoid raising grandpas noise meter early in the game so that's a possibility.

But yeah running, picking items too loudly, running into bone traps, etc....all count as noise.

[The Professor]

Theoretically, the problem with making lots of noise at the start is that it wakes Grandpa and allows the rest of the Family to rush into the basement and block off the exits, rendering it basically impossible to escape the basement. But in practice the Family isn't going to get there in time assuming they can even coordinate it and Connie is just going to instantly break a lock and everyone rushes out seconds after Leatherface is in control, so you're much better off just rushing.

[100% Wolf Urine]

Yeah that's what I was wondering. Even having only Leatherface running around the basement can be oppressive to any Victim team with new players (I mean, the game is only 40 hours old at this point).
