Hatch rules

[Inmate4859]

Okay, here is a question

Where can hatch appear?
To be more precise - on what floor?
My assumption was that only on "main" floor. Like the ground one.
But nope. Last game I strolled across the map and killer told me after match that hatch was in "boiler" room, like -1 floor

So..can hatch appear on 2nd floor? In The basement?

he Hatch will become visible ("spawn") whenever the number of fully repaired Generators IconHelpLoading generators.png exceeds the number of living Survivors by 1. This is true for the following scenarios:

Four Survivors: 5 fully repaired Generators / Exit Gates are powered
Three Survivors: 4 fully repaired Generators / 1 Generator left
Two Survivors: 3 fully repaired Generators / 2 Generators left
One Survivor: 2 fully repaired Generators / 3 Generators left

2/ On every floor, as long as it's not UPSTAIRS. It used to have some fixed spawn. Now it's more variable, even tho they're probably still fixed, but more numberous. It also cannot spawn in the basement. (the killer one, it can spawn in a regular basement)

Anywhere on the map. Very. Literally. Anywhere (except 2nd floors)

So, not upstairs, but downstairs is possible?

Oh well.

Thank gods that not in The basement

Yup. I had a hatch spawning in the basement of haddonfield earlier. (the one with the gen, not the killers one)

Okay, thanks.

I'll keep this in mind.
Now I dislike preschool map even more. Great.

I also can confirm it can spawn in the basement of the school, in the "dead end" next to the stairs around the gen. Saw it there a few times.

An interesting follow-up.
Do you hear the hatch only on the same floor or if you are near it, but upstairs also works?

You can hear it from a distance, but it's decently muffled when you hear it through obstacles (like walls or floors) so it can prove harder to catch.

It's fun seeing the hatch over the basement killer shack. The hearing range is I believe 8m.

It says in help that its more likely to spawn near the uncompleted generators.

Okay. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to that knowledge I am more likely just to fix gens.

And as a Hag/Huntress player, this is going to make my life a little funnier

Oh yeah. And a quick tip - be careful with hatch if you are playing against Hag
In one of games today I put a trap near the hatch. Teleported there and managed to catch surv as he was already in hatch. That was scary to him, I think

Anywhere, but not on the second floor. Also it doesn't spawn on the map edge chunks on every map EXCEPT SWAMP. It lkies spawning here, but not so often. Also it can spawn on the hill.
