I just like using the guard to hit the hooked survivor. Very easy to trick them
This isn't why he's good at camping. He just drops his power and makes it impossible to approach the hook undetected while also preventing nearby gens. He simply uses his power again immediately even if it's canceled. If the guard triggers on the unhooker, that's the best case scenario. Either it's an unavoidable trade because all you can do is Shift-W in the situation where you're already next to him and a guard that ignores pallets/windows is chasing you, or you're stalled briefly, assuming you can get back to the banner, but even in that case, it means he left you to tunnel.
If it's triggered on the hooked person, he gets to freely tunnel and because again, all you have is Shift-W from him starting out in your face, so you're immediately fucked unless you're in a super strong tile somehow. And most will also run STBFL specifically to prevent this, so you often get the worst of all worlds where he slugs someone AND tunnels, or is able to prevent the unhook entirely with it.
tl;dr
It's not that his power prevents the unhook, it's that his power allows him to immediately slug, tunnel, or both in a way that would make even Nurse blush.
The ones I run into , try to summon the guard immediately after the hook so u can’t do that
go next ez
The thing is that he forces you to act, you have to go for the unhook or be chased off. Other killers can't force your hand like that.
The best counter is actually going next
It’s sad this has to be a video.
i knew about this mechanic and so i was so confident about gettin an unhook while injured and i got downed by it
See i thought this was ovbious since it was stated in patch notes but all my solo que teams never knew and i had to tell my friends i mean its really not that hard to figure out
Except as the Knight you now have an advantage on the grab game since the survivor is on a timer.
Tbf this means the Knight always forces you to go into a grab game, which unless there are other survivors to body block, its not exactly a great situation to be in as survivor
was half expecting this to be a tutorial on how to DC
Im actually really glad you made this video, Scott. Hopefully more people know about this and start unhooking finally
Thank you! I’ve literally argued with people about this cause they’re convinced he’s a better camper than bubba
it's so wild to me that knight mains even do this to begin with, but considering how many people just enable it by taking no risk in front of guards it doesn't surprise me unfortunately
just make it so he cant put his guard down in front of a hook why is there so much inconsistency with killer powers working and not working in front of a hooked survivor?
Took me weeks to realize I could just pick up the damn flag they drop. Lmao. So yeah, a lot of this stuff is easier than people think. All still learning. :')
how to counter his loop sandwich tho
So many players sit there while you are on the hook waiting for the guard to de-spawn before trying to save and when it is gone the Knight is back to camp the hook and they don't even try it is amazing.
The only issue with this is that when I play Knight I know the survivors are going to insta tap the hook to remove the hunt, so I insta M1 and grab them with a very high success rate.
Even bots ignore guards for unhook. Zero excuse.
People keep telling me to just "touch some grass" and I ignore them, so you're hallucinating if you think telling me to just "touch the hook" will change my mind.
I see SO many people, Knight players and survivors, who think this that it's unbearable. I had a teammate let me go to second stage a few days ago because the guard was right in front of me, but the Knight was on the OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP
yeah, its not like knight might cut your way, and body block hook. And then you get hit from guard and from knight. Its definetly not how they always doing it 😐
I’m surprised ppl don’t know this already – I had a knight coming back to hook deploy his guard as I was unhooking and the guard attached to me at that time. What I still don’t understand is how the flag thing works really – it seems to take so long to spawn in and by then you’re already really far away because the knight is trying to pinch you and close the loop where the flag is so it’s no real use to countering the Artist type of play.
The Knight? More like The FaceCamp.
I don't understand knight players that do this either, typically when I hook someone I have a guard scout to a gen from the hook due to that extended range add-on. Even if no one's there it might deter people from going to the hook, the haste will make up for traveling to a different gen, and the power is typically recharged by the time you are at the new gen.
Ok but how do I counter gens being done 30 seconds into the match?
That's not how Knight camps. He either:
1. Waits for the grab, which you cannot wait forever for because the ghost is going for you. He can force grabs pretty easly.
2. He waits with his power on and releases it the moment you unhook.
What Knight can do however is get an early warning and go for a trade.
sadly its going to take about 2 years for the average solo player to realize this
it's impressive the amout of people who don't read/get info on new killers
Yeah, so many people don't know that and I don't know why. It is literally written in his power description, you just have to open your eyes and read.
Devs thought of this eventuality fortunately, but it's frustrating as heck when you're on the hook and your teammates refuse to come get you bc there's a guard there
I mean it forces a trade practically so yes he is good at camping
ok smartass and if the knight wait for a grab? what you do?🤨
Knew this from the get go, I just use Jailer to let me know if anyone gets there earlier.
I knew this mechanic existed but I thought you had to complete the action not just start it, good to know, thanks scott!
I tell people this all the time and they want to argue
Knight is good fir camping if there's a wall for the guard to hide behind so it'll only agro after the unhook already happened
You have to wait for the guard to fully spawns though if you unhook immediately then the guard will still be active/hit you
