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.

Stuff like Ironworks of Misery, the hatch will ALWAYS spawn between the two pipes. 3 generators of course.

always around buildings for me too, often the same ones. The only time ive found it away from a building was in the cornfields. Its not very random on location. And this is from the view of a hunter who makes sure to watch for the escape hatches.

the guy who posted the guide is my friend, they are not accurate and the coldwind farm hatch locations are coming later on in the month because they are working on it. Rotten fields, Rancid Abbatoir, Wrecker's yard, azarov's resting place, and sheltered woods have different set locations for the hatches, the people who made the guide have gotten most ( or maybe all of them) for the shelter woods, wrecker's yard, and azarov's. So finding the hatch isn't a worry because they have gotten most of the hatch locations, The thomspon house has a hatch on the porch, and the torment creek variation has a hatch near the silo.

can it be that it doesnt spawn? 2 games Im last one, running all around with map and addon but cant find it?

I do like the hatches, but in reality, wouldnt that hatch just basically lead you to a basement of the killer? :D

I usually get them spawning inside buildings, rarely every happen across them otherwise but I have noticed that they tend to be around buildings. But since the map is always randomized it would not be surprising that they end up elsewhere. And keep in mind that they might have a wide "spawn area" around buildings so what seems like a long distance away from a building is actually just on the edge of a spawn area. If of course buildings are a factor at all.

I have yet to have the hatch aura appear though, or hear the wind sound. I will try to keep a better ear/eye out for it. Does the aura appear automatically if you are the last survivor (with at least two generators going)?

I once had the hatch in the freaking corn field....that was plain mean. And once between two palett walls.

The hatch is such a "cop out" for survivors to escape. Why can't survivors use one 1 of the 2 exits on the maps? It's not like the killer can be in both exits at the same time. Hatches should spawn far less instead of every single match.

Slightly off topic but has the hatch ever appeared in the basement? Lol

The most odd place Ive seen the hatch was inside the house next to the stairs leading to the basement, but no, not down in the basement.

Sure. Because once you killed three noobs and I'm the last one with two geneators left, no need for some hatch.

i agree with you completely but in that situation hatch or not ( i assume killer is camping hatch) i go to two gens and bring them almost all the way up and then ding them one right after the other giving me options

In that situation, that is fine. Whats the point of it spawning if more than 1 survivor is still alive?

Well, it doesn't spawn according to how many people are alive. It spawns according to how many generators have been done.

I don't play killer as much so I won't know how frustrating it is. But the hatch does give you a lot more points than the regular exits do as a survivor. It helps if you've been evading the killer for a while and haven't done your 2 generators to guarantee a pip. So, the hatch kind of compensates as an option if you feel like you have not generated enough points to earn a pip.

As a note, the hatch only *opens* when there is one survivor left alive. The hatch is spawned, sealed up tight, from the start I believe. Or maybe that's what they meant above about '3 generators', the hatch doesn't spawn until there are 3 left, and open when there's only one survivor left alive?

I gave up one match. I looked forever, dodged killer, thought about doing gens but had all them points and evntually stopped. mighta been one of the glitches?
