Camper unhook bar
Why sometimes do you not get the bar to unhook yourself when being camped?

The unhookbar won't appear once all Gens are finished, maybe thats why?

The bar fills up as long as the killer is within near proximity of you, and it fills faster the closer they are. However, this slows down if there's someone nearby to attempt to rescue you, and stops completely if more than one person is there. It also will not fill up if the killer is currently carrying someone, which is only an issue if the survivor is not struggling (which is probably griefing at that point). It's also disabled completely once the generators are powered, since the killers options are to camp you or throw the game at that point.

The Camping bar dont works by proxy camping,
The Camping bar dont works by surv is in the near.

It is 100% useless because it does not exist. Read the actual mechanic's name.

face camping is so much worse right now and on first hook , tunnel and repeat, I might switch to killer just to get a decent match.
Legit there is no face camp mechanics

I have yet to see a single instance of this actually affecting campers in any way, unfortunately. I was really excited to see BHVR implementing measures to encourage good sportsmanship, but now any Killer who is willing to stoop to camping usually just does so by proxy instead. Additionally, it should not take into account dying survivors at all, because that just snowballs it into camping AND slugging. Either leave everyone being camped at the hook to die or risk adding to the pile. You have to be extremely wary attempting to save from a camper if you're injured or Exposed or they'll often just snowball the round away. Even WHEN I was able to coordinate with some friends to warn them a killer was just Insidious camping so they could prioritize generators, the bar filled so slowly I hit second hook state before the bar was even halfway. Was rescued in the end before it could even fill, and the Killer NEVER LEFT.

Maybe I misunderstood the intent, but was the idea to give the camped Survivor one single last shot before being killed if they were camped from first hook to death? And even then, since I've never seen it be actually used, does it offer Endurance like a rescue or would it just inevitably result in faceplanting off the hook before you even touched the ground, considering you'd be being camped for it to fill in the first place. As it stands, it feels more like a gentle finger wag at campers that they don't even see, and false hope for any unlucky Survivor that sees it filling.

If the killer actually facecamps, i.e. stands within arm's length from the survivor (yes, that's what counts for facecamping these days, not standing in front of the survivor blocking the unhook prompt like real facecamping did back in the day until directional unhooking killed it), the bar will fill up fast enough to get off before reaching the next stage, and all the normal self-unhook effects apply.

I mean, the only time when I saw face camping be a thing in this game since anti-camping was implemented was an Oni attempting to let me self rescue after he saw me get screwed over by my teammates.

Who were slugged and proceeded to crawl near me so I didn't get the anti-camping benefits.

Because I committed the horrible crime of going "This game isn't lost yet, stop killing yourself please." of all things.

i am a killer main and i say this mechanic is useless. the most rounds the surv unhooking for the points. 20s bt no, 2 tap hits by bubby works.
