How a match works
Summary
Six players enter each match. One of them is secretly the Killer; the other five are Survivors. The Killer can switch between a human form and a monster form at will, and each Killer comes with a unique ability that changes how they hunt. Survivors win by either repairing all the generators to restore power and calling the police, or by finding a stake chest and using it to take the Killer down themselves.
- Survivors repair all generators to call the police, or use a stake chest to defeat the Killer
- Killer blend into the group in human form, then strike when no one expects it
- Generators the main Survivor objective; restoring power triggers the police countdown
- Stake chests scattered on the map and hold items Survivors can use against the Killer
- Police arrival once called, Survivors must stay alive until they reach the match
- Unique Killer ability each Killer has a different hunt style, so expect the unexpected
Surviving as a Survivor
TipsYou have two paths to victory: finish the generators or defeat the Killer with a stake. Observe how other players move and act, because the Killer's behavior will eventually give them away.
- Watch for how other players move and act.
- If the police countdown has started, surviving until they arrive is a valid win condition.
- Search for stake chests if your team wants to end the match by taking the Killer out directly.
