Escape Hatch Locations

[shadow garden dark evil pack]

Any pattern to it? Or is it just completely random? The few times I've noticed it it's been nearby buildings, though that could have just as easily been a coincidence.

[Faded ♥]

Completely randomized. It can be procedurally generated almost anywhere, so mapping isn't an option.

Yeah, my friends and I tested the hatch mechanics out last night. We played about 7 games. Now keep in mind that this is with 2 survivors and 1 killer, so the results may vary. 1: You can only hear the hatch location, if your the last survivor, it's supposed to sound like wind going through a tunnel but sounds more like ambiance. 2: We found that even if you were the last survivor the hatches wouldn't show up unless you had at least 2 generators up and running. We tested this 4 times. We would hear the noise from where the hatch would open, but it would never appear until we got that second generator up. 3: Hatches mostly spawn next to buildings, if you have the map with the two story building, it's almost a guarented spawn.

Hatches can appear in or around buildings and also not near any building whatsoever.

While this maybe every game I've played the hatches are always around the buildings. Don't know if I exposed a big secret. I'm not in anyway trying to argue with you guys, just stating what I've noticed, and tested.

It's possible you have seen that in 7 games. I have already played a few where the hatch was out in the trees. Maybe it's a glitch for it to not be in or around a building.

[Solen'ya]

Possibly, I must have gotten lucky then. This is good to know though.

From what I've seen the hatch can spawn out in the middle of trees, inside buildings and just outside next to the buildings. Though surprisingly enough I spent 15 minutes running around the map as the last person with 2 generators running, went into every single building and went around the map twice yet still didn't find the hatch. Well... would've helped if I knew the hatch makes some kind of noise while open.

Don't listen to him! He's a killer main player!
It's 90% of the time near a building!

Run freely survivors!

Now that's not fair at all, I switch every round killer/survivor. I'm fair and balanced. ;)

Yes they can be near buildings but if you think they are around buildings 90% and don't bother looking elsewhere, well, you are gonna have a bad time.

I've used trapdoor away from buildings, sometimes randomly next to tire tracks, one next to a generator. I'd not I don't think I would of found these without the map.

My experience so far is as below
1st choice is always look around building coz this is where its spawn most of the time.
2nd choice spawn in area which have trees or rock surronding it and the middle of it usuually is a patch of land

[Lordschumi]

It also spawns in the fields...had the killer camp on it last time :/

[Ruruchi]

i noticed that it usually appear near the larger buildings

All i know is that when you're the last person alive, and you're frantically searching for the hatch, it's really stressful and scary... xD

The hatch wont spawn untill u get 2 gens up, and wont open until you are the last survivor. It spawns randimly, but most of the time it spawns near structures. Ive had it spawn next to exit gate, in the corn field, in the house in the maze of walls on autowreak map.

The trapdoor, at least in certain maps, is ALWAYS in the same place. Like the foundry, the trapdoor is ALWAYS between the pipes. The farmouse, it's always on that balcony in the dead end corner.

On a few maps it has multiple spawn spots.
