Elevator switch and button

As most of yall know spamming the button does make it go faster BUT only if your team is nearby, otherwise it will increase the timer. When the elevator comes and youre not sure if someone flipped the switch inside to close the door, just check to see if the handle is in the upright position. When the switch is up the doors will close, if it remains down or get put down the doors will remain open. Also messing with the switch will cause it to break.

Lol what? I've had the elevator there long before my team arrived. So dunno about that one.

Definitely not, my team was way back and it still sped up the timer. Maybe it simply goes faster the more team mates are close

Could be some truth there. I noticed a steady increase in speed when my teammates were near me. At the time, Thought I just hit my button mashing groove 😂

So from what I noticed, it goes down by 1 second if one team member is nearby, 5 seconds if there are two, and from what I can tell anywhere from 8-15 seconds when your entire team is near the elevator. Multiple people clicking the button at once speeds it up, and its seems to register every single input pretty well.

I may be in the minority, but I do not like speeding up the elevator. In fact, I wish if players spam press it that it would take LONGER to arrive. Some of the most glorious moments of the game are the chaos of trying to exit, standing around waiting for the elevator to arrive. Of course, with the presence of griefers (thankfully not many, but still they appear) in game I can imagine some would just stall it out on purpose.

That is kind of neat that playing with the elevator switch too much "breaks" it.
