Do killers know when you enter the basement?

[mattdudeyeah]

For the past few games I have been trying a new strategy where if I get injured and cannot heal, I hide in the basement until the gates are open.
Almost always though, after I've been down there a while, the killer comes and finds me. It's like they know I am there but I didn't think entering the basement alerted them. What gives?

[Draykoss]

No you dont alert them unless you sit there getting crows, if youre there for a solid 10 frickn minutes yeah theyre bound to check down there eventually to find you.

What gives is that you're a piece of ♥♥♥♥ teammate who deserves to be caught and if I ever see you in game doing that, I'll lead the killer right to you

If i remember correctly there is a perk that notifies the killer if someone
enters the basement..

there is Territorial Imperative
Unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability.

Survivors' Auras I are revealed to you for 3 seconds when they enter the Basement and you are more than 32 metres away from the Basement entrance.

Territorial Imperative can only be triggered once every 30/25/20 seconds.

"We're not safe anywhere..."

Thank you.. See i knew there was a perk that could do so.

There is a perk yes, but it's a pretty crap perk that most killers won't use unless they're going for the adept.

Alternatives? Nurses and looking down. BBQ. Somehow leading the killer to the basement via scratch marks or blood marks. There's more than one way to spot someone that goes in there, or just even common sense that "I know they're around here somewhere."

No one runs that perk though as it's more or less useless

Edit: There is Whispers though that makes an audio trigger when the survivors are within a certain distance, if they notice someone is in the area around the basement constantly but never see anyone, they're bound to check down there. I don't know how common this perk is but I personally use it a lot.

Your question was already answered, so aside from that...

DON'T DO THAT. That's a terrible strategy!! You're letting your team down and being a terrible player and you'll never improve if you just hide every time you're injured. And if you really are struggling that much with being injured, just play claudette and use self care.

do you stay in the same place and get 3 "AFK" crows? then you start blowing up like a genny

I feel like the question itself is the lesser issue here lol

[mattdudeyeah]

I try to hop between lockers to not get the crows. Learned that one the hard way..

Do you sneak out of the lockers? Because if you do rushed actions you will alert the killer.

Still, as has been stated, "Stop. get help."
You are a disappointment to your team if you hide in the basement constantly. Let your team heal you or maybe, I dunno... let the killer hook you so they can rescue you and get some points off your failure :P

dont forget a key feature on the store page is you can be selfish

[mattdudeyeah]

But I don't get more points if my teammates survive, only if I do. Usually I can at least wait until all the other survivors are dead and then sneak out to find the hatch door

idk whether to give OP genuine advice as he seems like a new player or wheather i should try to be his teammate and sandbag him like kingdom come for being the worlds worst teammate
