Apparently slugging for the 4k is toxic.
Didnt know i was meant to get 3 kills guys, i apologise.

I hope next time you also stay behind after doing all gens for a 3 man escape instead of 4, lmao.

Just close the end-game chat box, if you can't handle it.

I'm inclined to think it is, and I don't play survivor very much.
There's nothing wrong with going for the 4k, but you should do it the proper way instead of trying to side-step a mechanic that makes it more difficult for you. The game is balanced around the hatch being a thing that exists.

close chat box and play like you want

I never do it because a 3 and 4k are both wins to me and it just drags matches out longer, but you do you man. Don't listen to salty people, it's not good for you

It's not toxic, but it is an extremely boring experience for both sides IMHO.

It's obnoxious, especially when a killer I've been outplaying all match does it. Faced a Ghostface earlier that was so bad, but a few of my teammates couldn't handle him. He ended up slugging the Feng over and over to look for me. I picked her up like 4 or 5 times till he finally hooked her, then he exposed and downed me when I was looking for hatch. Dude extended the match by at least 10 minutes when he could have just hooked the Feng immediately and probably still got his oh so important 4k🙄.

I honestly don't know why BHVR lets this slide. They brought in EGC so survivors can't waste time, yet killers can waste all the time they want. They need to implement something like base kit Unbreakable when there's two survivors and 1 gen left.
yes u not allowed to klLL 4 holy survivor

In my opinion, I think it depends on the situation.

If you down the 3rd survivor and the 4th is right in front of you, or they blow up a gen nearby and you see the notification? I could understand slugging for the 4k in that scenario. You can most likely down the 4th survivor and end the game in a minute or two at most.

I think when slugging for the 4k goes wrong is when a Killer downs the 3rd survivor and then has NO IDEA where the 4th one is, but lets the 3rd survivor sit on the ground for 4 minutes to go aimlessly search the entire map anyway. This is one of my biggest pet peeves as survivor, and i try to avoid it as killer as much as possible.

Survivors can try to do gens to open the gate.

Also, if you were able to save that survivor that many times maybe that wasn't the play.

For the record, the 4th guy was in my vision when i picked up the 3rd guy.

This dude called me out for slugging for a 4k when he was the one that came nearby lmao.
Agree with OP.
Sorry guys, didn't realise I was meant to go afk and let you do the gens with your 4 toolboxes dejavu etc. etc. setups

Context matters maybe? If only 2 survivors alive, you down and pickup one and see the last survivor around the corner: No one with a healthy mindset is going to be mad in endgame chat when u want to down the 4th one.

However: Slugging 3 ppl at 5 gens and patroling all 3 slugs in order to find the 4th and not hooking anyone... and in the end to find the 4th and let all bleed out on the floor... Idk if that's actually toxic but it's super annoying at least (1 Minute DC penalty vs. 4 Minutes bleed out timer... you guys do the math).

If you can initiate the chase for the last survivor after 10 to 15 seconds from downing the other one it's fine.

But if you start roaming around the map and just keep the other guy slugged on the ground then you're just BM:ing.

Toxic? Nawwww

Pointless, boring waste of time? Sure.

I only do it when I run into a REALLLY obnoxious SWF. The ones that just intentionally want to get a rise out of you. The ones with douchebag antagonistic names who click and teabag after every pallet. And ONLY if they can actually put up a fight against me. Because at that point it becomes a fun little challenge.

In 99.9999% of my games, the SWFs just roll over and die at the slightest hint of resistance,
Which is already boring.

Slugging for a 4k Isn't a challenge, Its a boring waste of time where I could be moving onto the next match and actually have a game and stimulate my brain. I don't care about the BPS, I don't care about PIPS, If they have to hatch out they already lost. A 3k Is always a "win"(Yes there is no true definition to winning in this game).


If I have you down and you were chill I will give hatch If its close, and I hear it, otherwise you're going onto the hook, so I can go onto the next match.

Also...Have a good day at work peoples :)
