Hunting Tips

  1. Patrol generator locations — Survivors must repair them
  2. Listen for repair sounds to locate Survivors
  3. Break barricaded doors quickly to maintain pressure
  4. Don't tunnel one Survivor — spread pressure across the team
  5. Use abilities strategically, don't waste them on missed attacks

Generators are your best tracking tool. Survivors MUST interact with them, so patrol between generator locations.
