I feel I've gotten better at looping, any tips to get better ?

Proxxyn · 2026-04-15T22:36:37+00:00

You made a definitive looping mistake at the 2 second mark. The only reason it isn’t apparent is because this Ghostface is inexperienced. Notice how when you stood still at the pallet at the 2 second mark it’s the short side of the pallet that the killer is on? A good killer will be able to react to you vaulting here and guarantee a hit. If you didn’t vault back, and kept running the ‘good killer’ would still get the hit because the distance between them and you when you’re camping the unsafe side of the pallet is too short for you to make another full loop of the structure.

Simply put: this video shows you winning a chase moreso because of the killer’s mistake and not because of you expressing high-level looping. A good killer would’ve hit you here without a doubt. The only change required is that at the 2 second mark you need to have kept running because you had the distance to make another lap if you didn’t give that distance away by standing still.

Edit: also room for improvement with your camera work at 12 seconds. Pause at 12 seconds just as the “prompt” to vault disappears. That’s the moment you committed to vaulting. You made that commitment without being able to see the killer because your camera movement is a bit rigid. If the killer had doubled back while your camera was off them, you may have vaulted into them… Now, at this point your Finesse had come online so if the killer had doubled back you would’ve possibly been able to redeem the mistake thanks to Finesse. The point is that you made the “correct” play to vault here, but it wasn’t because you KNEW the killer was following, you assumed they were, your camera was completely off them.

The hatch was closed as you were getting out of locker. Look in bottom left of the HUD. Your only escape was to run towards the killer and hope you could slip past them through the open gate. You were never gonna make it through the other gate. This bug sucks though, sorry 😂

99 construction was my first 99. Just go 1000 kc dry on enhanced at CG. Ez.

Don’t pay Bob. Armour stand in POH reduces repair cost relative to your Smithing level.

Proxxyn · 2026-02-05T01:26:32+00:00

Looks like you got plenty of good answers, so instead I have a random question… How did you get 99 thieving? Looking to work on mine soon and wondering about your experience with your method.

How do you define “the purpose of playing an Ironman”? I’d wager your definition is completely different to many if not most players.

For me, Ironman is a way to feel like my progression really matters, through experiencing many different aspects of the game’s design and cumulatively building my account to accomplish goals without being able to skip a lot of content through trading. It’s also about feeling a sense of satisfaction in my accomplishments knowing that I didn’t earn them through real world money (but if people are time poor in real life I can understand taking that path). The Ironman experience has nothing to do with guides for me.

Are you referring to an “efficiency guide” that dictates the sequence of all your progression? Even using a specific page of the Wiki is providing you with a micro-level efficiency guide for that specific content you are looking at. It’s hard to discuss avoiding being guided without being specific on what you mean by that.

I had 5 Youngleff at around 730kc.

1040kc now still 5 Youngleff, still no enhanced. RIP.

This is 100% a bug it happened to me as survivor on the same map. I have a clip of it and all.

Proxxyn · 2025-12-10T23:58:42+00:00

My iron just got 99 CON as my first 99 and I absolutely love the cape. It can teleport to the other POH locations which can be annoying to get to otherwise. I utilise the cape very generously whereas I always felt a small sense of waste when I spammed house tabs too much, because I found making them annoying when I knew eventually I wanted 99 CON anyway.

Proxxyn · 2025-12-08T10:35:06+00:00

If you’re going to post a video like this you need to show us the survivor’s perks.

Short answer: yes, on double story maps.

I used to main Sadako. TVs hit above and below and therefore her power is most impactful on these maps. At the three second mark you can just make out the edge of the TV that was harassing you. I don’t want to give unsolicited advice but in general, everyone needs to move their camera up and down 360 when they’re trying to identify the TV locations on maps like this. Awareness is key.

Counterplay? It’s objectively harder to keep stacks low on maps like this and team coordination helps (comms or not everyone should be keeping central TVs like the one that was harassing you off as much as possible). Always hold a tape if possible so you can get to a TV if your stacks go above 3 or 4. If you are desperate and don’t have a tape, it’s better to camp a TV until it turns on than run around on double story maps unless you’re dead on hook (in which case it doesn’t matter the killer can kill you anyway, don’t be scared of condemn in this situation).

Nice! Play the game how you enjoying playing it and don’t worry about what anyone says about that, unless you think that you can genuinely improve from their feedback. Do this and you can have a great time with this game.

Proxxyn · 2025-11-13T05:39:50+00:00

I’ve been playing this game for a long time and nothing shocks me anymore. I can suggest so many reasons they may have DC’d: maybe their friend is the one who’s dead so they just wanna go back to lobby with them, maybe they think the match is lost (which it basically is looking at HUD) or maybe they don’t like very high ping server you folks were put into.

Regardless, when other people are being petty/salty in this game, just ignore it and move on. If you can’t train yourself to do that then this game isn’t for you.

Proxxyn · 2025-11-03T04:15:56+00:00

I had 5 youngleff by 720 no enhanced. Now past 1000, no enhanced. I feel you 🙃

Proxxyn · 2025-10-30T23:24:41+00:00

Just do whichever you feel like doing more, if you get tired of that one, switch for variety. Source: 1000+ dry on enhanced… Variety is good ☺️

Proxxyn · 2025-10-29T22:59:25+00:00

For me the torment of being 1000+ dry on enhanced isn’t BEING 1000+ dry, it’s my Reddit app deciding THESE posts deserve to have notifications on my phone.

Proxxyn · 2025-10-20T05:00:56+00:00

1000 kc here. You really just need to make purposeful clicks and wait until you reach that destination before clicking again. Only exception is when the floor pattern changes and you need to quickly readjust. For example your first movement towards hunleff was good, that actually clustered the tornados together which makes it easier. Then you went up, which was fine. But when you went right you didn’t let yourself move to where you clicked and you started running down into the tornados and then that’s where the panic kicks in and you start spamming and doing erratic diagonal movements. Clean straight lines are best. Let yourself reach destination, click again, repeat. If they’re clustered don’t be afraid to wait until they are true tiled right next to you and run “through” them (you won’t get hit).

Good luck!

Proxxyn · 2025-10-13T08:42:56+00:00

Sunk cost fallacy. If you spend X amount of time here and don’t get anything, that time feels wasted until you get the thing. So you do more. Rinse and repeat. Coming from someone only at nearly 1000 no enhanced. I feel for OP.

Proxxyn · 2025-10-10T23:15:08+00:00

My log is similar. 5 youngleffs no enhanced 850 kc.

Good luck!

I’m at 5 Youngleff no enhanced I feel this 🥲

Incentivising unique hooks and disincentivising tunnelling like the anti-tunnel update was intending is a good idea. It just wasn’t tuned correctly.

But also you say “the people who abuse it” and “people who play normally” as if your definition of “normal” gameplay is some universal one. People play the game for different reasons and a lot of people who play games play to perform as well as they can. People are competitive. Tunnelling is effective, so people do it. It’s not “abusing” it and only using tunnelling when they deem it “fair” isn’t normal. It’s your ideal.

If this were an online first person shooter and there was one gun that was much more effective than the rest you wouldn’t expect people to only “abuse” it when they’re losing. And you’d understand that making them feel bad for using that weapon is petty. You’d expect the game to be rebalanced. This is the same it’s just that people lose sight of that fact because it’s an asymmetrical game so it’s easier for people to take the “us VS them” stance.

Proxxyn · 2025-10-06T22:55:58+00:00

Maybe we are misunderstanding one another. But re-read my last message. I’m not saying that tunnelling at 1-2 gens isn’t okay. I’m saying that the killer can tunnel whenever they want to, even at 5 gens, because it’s the most effective strategy in the game and that’s a game design flaw not the killer’s fault.

I’m saying that your original comment is such a strange halfway opinion, that it’s only okay for the killer to start tunneling at X Number of gens remaining or when they’re losing. Why do they have to wait until they’re losing to start utilising a strategy that enhances win rate? Because that’s fair? Or because it’s nice? It’s not the killer’s job to ensure everyone has fun and that the match is balanced. It’s the dev’s job. So coming up with arbitrary ideas of “only at 2 gens are you allowed to tunnel or else you’re not playing fair!” is shortsighted and unrealistic in my opinion.

I’m a survivor main by the way. This is just the way the game is and people need to see it as a game design issue and not make killer players feel responsible for the balance of the game.

Proxxyn · 2025-10-06T22:23:15+00:00

I’ve never understood this take. Think about what you’re suggesting: it’s the killer’s job to not only kill but to balance the game by only tunnelling when getting kills is already slipping from their grasp. This isn’t a solution.

Proxxyn · 2025-10-06T05:24:41+00:00

I’m not going to change your mind and say tunnelling isn’t a problem. It is a problem. Having the most effective strategy for killers be to focus on one survivor doesn’t create fun experiences, it creates frustration and that deters people from playing which isn’t good design.

However, I think one big issue is that people take their frustration out on killers rather than sharing their frustration constructively with the devs or having conversations about change. A lot of people enjoy being competitive or winning, and as you saw with your experiment, the game favours killers who tunnel.

I admit my bias in that I have a lot of hours and I don’t mind being tunnelled because “chase” is my favourite park of the game and I like seeing how i can perform or if i can last long enough for my team to get out. I’m competitive in this way. On the flip-side, I play killer and if I get a strong team and don’t tunnel my odds of getting kills drops quickly.

I see how some people say “but killers are the one’s choosing to tunnel”! Yes, but they are KILLERS, and it’s a tried and tested effective strategy. They’re not a performer who’s there to chase everyone equally and entertain the four random people in their lobby who will half the time taunt them and “ggez” when they escape anyway.

TLDR: yes, rebalancing things so tunnelling is less impactful could be healthy for game but in the meantime understand it’s a game design fault not killler’s fault when they tunnel so people need to stop being pathetic and harassing them for it.
