Route focus

PathingObjective splitCorner control

Learn these focus points first. A map route is useful only when it helps the team finish objectives, reset pressure, or make the Killer waste time.

Still checking

Generator count, battery routes, and strongest Killer patrol paths.

Survivor plan

  • Use structure to break sight, then turn the chase into objective time elsewhere.
  • Split objectives when the Killer is stuck checking one side of the map.
  • Call pathing early because corners and objects can make a bad route feel safe until it is too late.

Killer plan

  • Patrol objective splits and punish Survivors who take predictable corners.
  • Use structure-heavy paths to shorten chase decisions and cut off rotations.
  • Return to generators or battery routes after forcing a team scatter.
