Sandbagging?

[PsychoLittleToga]

Not sure if you get this question a lot, but what is sandbagging? I think I was scolded for not sand bagging? I'm not sure, when the other player explained the term it still didn't make sense to me. What is sandbagging???

Imagine a bag of sand blocking a door.

Now imagine a survivor standing in front of a window blocking it so no other survivor can go through.

That's sandbagging.

I never actually thought of it that way. Makes sense the name now.

Sandbagging is basically self-sabotage, either by dropping the killer on someone else, blocking their way, failing a skillcheck on purpose, etc.

Oooooh. Huh. Thank you for telling me. The only thing I am wondering now is why did I get scolded for not sandbagging? That is an answer we will never know lol.

NO NO NO!! Sandbagging is where you are a more skilled player and either drop pips so you can join n00b servers or SWF with a 20 rank player so you can play easier killers. If you do this and are NOT toxic, it isn't a big deal, if you do this and loop, flash, teabag, swear, harrass the other players, then yes, bad

Maybe they got the terms flipped around, and forgot which way was bad. Not sandbagging would be more like leveling up too high and getting wrecked

Your killer is ranked 20, they use a rank 19 player to get their SWF fwams onto his server. the rank 11 player is the sandbagging the most, then the 13, and the 15.

If you purposely drop pips to play easier players, this is also sandbagging

most of the time I've heard sandbagging is when survivors do yolo saves and the hooked person gets immediately downed again

[LoganJ]

I thought Sandbaging was when survivors Toggle crouch

This is pretty interesting. The only thing I can think of is that my game lagged/glitched for a moment and I accidentally put him back on the hook.

Ok now, another stupid question, but what is SWF?

Survive with friends. I think there is a guide with often used slang and terms for DBD.

Sandbagging = when a survivor blocks the path of another survivor either with your own body or a dropping a pallet in front of them most of the time causing them to get hit by the killer.

Now maybe the reason they scolded you for NOT sandbagging is they were using it as a term for blocking the killer from placing some one on a hook or blocking them from being able to chase a specific survivor who may be injured.

Sandbagging is not the correct term for blocking the killer though as sandbagging is a negative thing and is when a survivor blocks a survivor.

Body Blocking would be the correct term in this case.
AKA you Body block the killer from hooking a survivor.

Sandbagging = Survivor Blocking Survivor so they get hit.

Body blocking = Survivor blocking killer from hooking/hitting a survivor

purposely trying to get your teammates killed

OK, so, it looks like "Sandbagging" in DBD is different than in the rest of the world.

Sandbagging also means not to reveal one's true playing strength for the purpose to lose rank or rating points so the sandbagger can play with weaker players, usually to increase chances of winning money.

Sandbags also barricade, so it applies to DbD as well.
