Killer spawning right next to you

[Space]

Just wondering if its possible or at the very least if the killer can spawn and see you wether they are like on a hill or something like that. Just a random though

[Sachiko Shinozaki]

When I play killer I sometimes see survivors spawn on hills or just in general. Dunno why the game lets this happen.

I had a game like an hour ago where I spawned and had to face down a clown with the one hit knock down add on. Didn't know he saw me during spawn...didn't even wanna play that game. I "accidentally" forgot to struggle.

At the beginning of EVERY trial, there will always be ONE survivor who spawns just outside the killer's terro radius. If a killer or survivor spawns on a hill, they will most likely not see the closest player as they will spawn behind cover of some kind.

sometimes killers and survivors can spawn in the killer shack together

My third game ever was getting out of cover, sneak around for 10 seconds, only to learn that there is a skill that subverts everything the tutorial taught me about the game (the one where the killer becomes invisible and loses terror aura) and die because he was also a camper.

I have spawned int he shack with a billy and another surv. I threw down the pallet letting them dance and ran

[Yumeno]

Long ago, I spawned right in front of a dwight as hill billy and he didn't load in as fast as I did. Back then I sucked with billy chainsaw so was a nice handicap

That is not true. From my experiences as the Killer, it appears that survivors spawn a good distance away from Killers. From my experiences as the survivor, I can attest that most often that not, we all spawn closer to each other than the Killer. The issue is that survivors make a beeline towards the direction that the Killer is traveling, which makes it appear that they spawned close. Also, perks like Distressing and addons like Calm can extend the terror radius considerably.

As a killer, i've spawned on a hill with a survivor at the bottom of the ramp up. I wasnt spawned looking at him but it was a super quick find.
As a survivor I've spawned at the top of the basement shacks stairs with a leatherface spawned at the pallet and looking right at me.

These situations happen pretty rarely. And while spawning can be pretty awful, if there were more rigid spawn requirements then killers would use that to find survivors faster on average.

I can tell you that it is true, and there is always one survivor who spawns just outside the terror radius, unless a shroud of binding is used.

Probably a bug - game messed up with hex totem and killer placement.

I have been in matches as the survivor where I saw all of my teammates within 5 seconds of the game starting. I have noticed this more since the patch was released.

I play as the Doctor, and in most cases survivors spawn across the map from me.

One time I spawned in and crouched behind a rock. Huntress immediately runs by me. I was confused but it was funny.

[raalynthslair]

It happens. Happened to me tonight... I started a match RED LIGHTED by the killer and was dropped inside of 10 seconds. NO CHANCE.
That's a HORRIBLE flaw - the maps are ALL big enough to ensure this doesn't happen- even with random spawn starting points. I mean NO match should start giving a player THAT kind of handicap with the killer in their face to start.

This is NOT the first time- it's happened several times... not an "every night" thing, but often enough to be irritating.

This exact thing as killer happened to me a long time ago. I was myers, and instead of hitting him, I felt bad so I just stalked him a while then let him go.

I don't believe this for a second. I don't ever check the nearest gens when I spawn in because they ALWAYS spawn as far as possible and in a group. It has been this way for a long time now, since they "fixed" hex totem spawns the first time and shrouds stopped working completely

It happened to me pretty recently on one of the farm maps, l spawned next to a huntress
We kinda just stared at each other (in disbelief) then went our separate ways.
Nice killer.
