Why so many tunnelers and campers now?

[Handsome Survivor]

Why is it that with the beginning of the event almost every 2nd killer tunneling and camping? Is there any lore reason to do this? Maybe if you keep camp people until the end of the event you earn 100 million shards or what?

Any lore reason? They are playing killer and its how they want to play. Not saying its right, not saying its fun, but its how they are choosing to play the game they paid money for.

I wanted to write you a proper reply, then went to your profile and saw how people called you out for camping - I think you shouldn't really complain if you play that way yourself :D

As long as people aren't cheating, they can play how they want! :)
I hope you have more luck in your next games, though

Just natural selection. Skilled survivors won't suffer too much from this, but useless' will be eliminated and won't ruin the game for others.

everyone plays the way they want

Because its the best way to play killer. If the dev really want killer to tunnel less they need to give them a basekit incentive to stop tunneling. When killer get an incentive in term of perk they get nerf so well we are stuck with tunneling almost every game and the only way to beat that is to git gud.

I said it before and i'll say it again - BP are the best incentive. Maybe give killers a bonus in points for not hooking the same person twice in a row? That would already help!
If they hook all four players in a row, they could get an even bigger bonus. If it makes it worth missing out on a different hook, i bet a lot of players would go for it!

I feel like rewards for good/fun behaviour works better than punishment for tunneling/camping.

Bp is not a good incentive anyway not after 8 year of the game being out. They need to create an incentive that will make the killer able to gain some value for hooking all four survivor in the match in a way that will help them win the match. It could be anything like when a survivor is hook for the first time the next kick on a gen they do regress the gen by 12% to the exit gate are block for 30 sec so like a mini blood warden.

Bp is worth nothing for long time player and i dont think they have that many new player anymore but that just something i think no data can prove that.

It would have to be it's own Good BEhaviour BP pool, most of my games I fill up my BP pools in almost all but devout when the survivors aren't sweating, but also BPs are practically meaningless, in half of my daily gameplay, I get the same amount of BP that BEhaviour gives weekly BPs for killers are practically meaningless at least EU side when I get so many matches where at worst I do 20k BP per match, but if I get some doe like survivors I get 30k+ as long as they don't suicide on the hook at the start.
Heck most of my worst scores are from killing the survivors too fast because I down almost the whole team in the first chase under the first hook.
Honestly, BEhaviour forcefed so many BPs outside of the game that if my only goal was BP gain then I would have no reason to even play.
I spend more time using the BPs than I spend actually playing the game.
Now if we start talking iri shards that is a worthy reward.

PS: they already have several punishments ingame in terms of pips for not getting 10 hooks and camping the hook but the killers that do that behaviour don't care about that.

Lol a lore reason? Just play the game, if you don't enjoy it play something else.

[Flaps]

why is this the 103939th post about this in 30hours

[Stroggs]

What is wrong with tunneling and camping again?

[Rabbit]

The lore reason is that the killer's job is to kill you

[Narrowmind]

Wait, what??? That's a plot twist if I've ever seen one!

Tunneling is not fun for unskill survivor and solo q cant stand camping cause they dont know how to do gen when someone is on hook.

That's mostly a strawman, the majority of killer players that play this way are absolutely desperate for even one kill and don't know any better, the second they play good survivors then they get absolutely smashed to pieces.
