Cenobite Counter

Cenobite Locker Counter

When did they change this?? Jumping in a locker so cenobite can't down you and start a chain hunt was the only counter to him. This is a huge issue when a cenobite camps the box because they know where every box spawn is. I've run to the box as soon as it spawns so many times just to barely make it before cenobite gets there.

What are we supposed to do against this now?? I know they had to change this just recently and I've read all the patch notes, but nowhere does it say this got changed.

Wait, you could deny a chain hunt by being grabbed in a locker? That’s genius.

Yeah, but not anymore lol

They do silent nerfs and buffs all the time, should not be surprising.

Think this one happened on the franklins/hoarder patch. I heard about it briefly but nothing since so I didn't know if it was credible. Haven't played agaist a ceno as survivor in a year so no way to test.

I do not feel like getting locker grabbed and hooked is much of a counter to anything, even if it does something like pause a chain hunt or stop Myers from stoning you to death. It is merely playing for a little time or prolonging the inevitable.

Seems like it was an unintended interaction if BHVR removed it. Never made any sense why it use to behaved in that way in the first place.

It didn't just pause the chain hunt, it restarted the box. You being yeeted and no chain hunt is way better than going down and getting everyone chain hunted. Same thing with tombstone, you would rather just be mori'd even with no hooks or get yeeted from a locker and just hooked??

But he could still drop you then mori. Unless I'm mistaken.

I forgot about it resetting the charge. I was only thinking about how the box is paused for 3 other people while you hold it.

I was also wrong here. Misremembered his tombstone add-ons working more like an actual mori and not what they are. I was thinking you had to be in EW3 and hooked once for tombstone and twice for tombstone piece. Even then, it was a bad analogy. Whoops!

With the tombstone add-ons, he cannot.

Yeah it was such a good feature, like I said it was the only real way to counter a cenobite who knows all the box spawn locations. Unless the spawns get updated to truly be random, we are just out of luck

"Patch 6.7.0
Nerf: the Lament Configuration will now teleport if The Cenobite stands on it for 5 seconds."

Does this not prevent the cenobite from camping the box?

Nah it's still possible, just stand near it but at least 5 meters or so and you can camp it. Coconut RTS did a meme video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzJ0g2EX6OE

Yep, and it doesn't take 5 seconds for him to just run up and get the box himself
