💡 Quick Tip: Always repair generators first — they give the most Scrap and progress the game fastest.

🎯Objective Priority

  1. Repair Generators (75-100 Scrap) — highest priority, progresses the game
  2. Deliver Batteries (50-75 Scrap) — do after generators are repaired
  3. Barricade Doors (25-50 Scrap) — do during chases for bonus Scrap
  4. Escape Chases (25-50 Scrap) — use doors and obstacles to break line of sight

Solo generator repairs give you full Scrap credit. Split up from teammates to cover more generators.

🏃Chase Mechanics

When the Killer spots you, a chase begins. Use these techniques to escape:

  • Barricade doors behind you — slows the Killer and earns Scrap
  • Use tight corners and obstacles to break line of sight
  • Don't run in straight lines — zigzag around furniture
  • If playing Fighter, use Parry when the Killer attacks for a counter-stun
  • If playing Security Guard, Taser the Killer to create distance

⚠️ Don't lead the Killer to teammates working on generators. Kite away from objectives.

👥Team Coordination

Medic Role

Stay near teammates and heal after chases. Healing earns bonus Scrap and keeps the team alive.

Fighter Role

Protect teammates by stunning the Killer. Swing for 3s stun, Parry for counter-stun.

Security Guard Role

Use Taser to control the Killer during critical moments like generator repairs.

Customer Role

Focus purely on objectives. No combat abilities, so avoid the Killer entirely.
