Coop Base Repair Values

So other than gaining a few extra points it is actually a better decision to go and do a different generator.

If two groups of two did two generators, each would take 44.44s with two you would have 88.88s of action time. (But only two generators would be finished)

If a group of 4 did 4 generators, it only takes 80 seconds to do each, but you would have double the gain.

So if I find someone in a match doing a generator it would be more beneficial to let them do the generator and go find another one. I'd lose some points but the match would be done faster than if I didn't.

But splitting up also increases the chance of getting caught by the killer. There are other things you have to factor in beside raw numbers.

True, but at the start of the match it would make more sense for each survivor to do a seperate generator, even if they didn't finish it the gain would be more than 2 or 3 people rushing out just one.

I'll expand this a little.

If all 4 survivors were able to do 5 gens together each gen would take 28.57 seconds.

x5 = 142.85s

4 survivors (each) do a generator in 80 seconds, (IF) all four could do the last generator it would only come to 108.57s, if it was 3 it would be 113.33, if it was two it would be 124.44.

Doing 4 generators alone, and then moving on to the last generator together is quicker than doing each one individually overall. The only benefit you really get is the co-op points bonus.

It's a lot more than just a couple points of difference though. On top of the cooperative bonus you get from working together on one generator, you also each individually get the same amount of repair points instead of it being split up (Ex: Repairing 300 points' worth of a generator awards 300 BP to the two people that repaired it that much, not 150 points to each of them). If each person did their own generator they would only get ~2000 points (assuming a few great skill checks) each and would only have 1 generator left to get points from. But if people work together, the potential amount of points goes up and up to nearly ten thousand.

Yes, some people don't care about the points, but there's more factors to it than just points, as others pointed out above. Generally speaking (and imo) it's better to work together on generators in most situations.

True, but if you're like me and you have every Perk anyway, you don't worry about bloodpoints. Just escaping.

When survivors work together, they get coop bonus, but they do the gen faster, which means they get less great skill checks and less bonus for it.

Thing is, I have every perk as well, and I don't really care about escaping anymore because it just means more bloodpoints, so instead I focus on getting other people out. It's partially why I work with others on generators because it means they're going to get more points faster via faster repair & cooperation bonus.

Getting one gen done fast I feel can be an advantage. With monitor and abuse and killers shuting down half repaired gens it can become a game of 3 partially repaired gens instead of a couple already done.

What's the reason except the blood points?
The killer will find all survivors, when the first gen will be done (or before it), then all survivors will stop do the gens and they'll waste a lot of time because of it.
Also the group of survivors has to change the gens 5 times, but when all survivors repair the gens separately, they need to change the gens only 2 times. I'm not talking about Resilience and toolboxes, which can save about 20-25 seconds per gen, if a survivor will work on the gen alone.

That's the point essentially, working together gives less of a profit margin over the entire course of the match than if you were to work just on generators with someone else. Yes you'd get that generator done faster, but overall you'd be losing time.

How M&A helps the killer to shut down the gens?

Well you have to take into account if someone is running Leader and prove thyself, Thats really the only time when all people should work togeather.

Why survivors will run Leader and PT, if they can repair almost at the same speed, when they repair the gens separately?
2 survivors + (Leader and PT)x2 = 204% repair speed. => They repair the gen 0.78s faster.
3 survivors +(Leader and PT)x3 =312% repair speed. => They repair the gen 1.03s faster.
Literally the survivors buy 5 seconds of time for 8 perk slots.
For example, 1 survivor with Resilience saves about 6 seconds per gen..
