How do you counter a skull merchant 3 gen?

[Poor ToothPaste]

For the last 7 of my 8 games I have gone against a skull merchant who 3 gens from the start. I was wondering if there was any counter play anyone has found as a solo q surv. Thanks

soloQ hide and take the hatch. Only as a good SWF you can win.

just hack the drones,,,
if you are somewhat competent as a survivor in chase, hack every drone you find, skull merchants gets the least out of her drones if they are hacked, and if you can loop her as the only one she can track, guess what, she is just a normal M1 killer.

i am a killer main, and i absolutely suck at looping as a survivor, but this is the games as skull merchant i find the hardest to lock down.

besides, if 1 person is hacking all drones constantly, merchant has to decide to either chase the one she can track which is the easier choice, or try to reset multiple drones while chasing the other 3 survivors who should just be doing 3 different gens, and obviously not 3-genning themselves, which is very easy to avoid if you just look at the map..

pretty sure that she gains speed not only by hacks (claw-traps), but for the amount of survivors inside drone zone.

Correct. But when you leave the zone, she’s back to normal speed. If all 4 survivors are pressuring gens when they can, she’s powerless.

Edit: the point I’m trying to make is to spread pressure evenly among all the generators within the 3gen.

The ideal solution would be to break the 3gen before it even happens, if you’re in a SWF.

This. If you still have 3 people alive during the 3 gen, she literally can't win if you aren't stupid. She can only cover 1 generator at a time. She approaches? Move away from the generator. If she commits to the chase, you can run her across the map and the generators get finished for free. If she doesn't and walks away, you go back to the generator and she's gained literally nothing from all that time spent, and the generators get done for free.

3 gens are only a problem if your teammates are sitting in bushes waiting for hatch. If they have enough sense to just work on generators and not let the Killer walk up and down them, you can win easily even in solo queue.

Potential Energy.. or disconnect.
The real counter is to try and not get into a 3gen in the first place but as you mentioned they killer can just choose to do it from the start.

Potential Energy is bad, better play with Prove thyself or any gen speed build.

nope potential energy is VERY strong vs any killer who 3 gens.

I mean, theres a very simple tactic. try to focus middle gens first to create distance between the last few gens. Also, if you have a tool box. Save them for the last gen. I never understood why people rush and waste the tool box at the start when its the easiest time to get gens done

i agree in general, but it does depend on builds, if i bring flashbang (perk) or any other perk that requires searching and looking for items (mainly due to challenges)
i bring whatever brown stuff i have, usually a toolbox as its used far earlier than medkit

You can't.
