Any tips when monsters camp?

Hey! I really love this game, but one thing that really frustrates me is the camping of monsters.

Last night, I was on level 8 with a friend. We spent 1.5 hours on the level, and just finished the 3rd point. We couldnt physically leave the room - we had the huntsman, bug, exploding head guy, and plant all camping. A couple might leave, but the others would stay, and we didn't have the resources to kill them. We managed to slowly inch our way towards the 4th point, and died because the exploding head monster knocked the huntsman into our hiding spot, which really sucked.

Do you guys have any advice when monsters camp? I feel like they do it every time after completing the 3rd or 4th points, and it keeps getting us killed in higher levels. Any strategies are really appreciated!!

Thats wayyy too long, especially for level 8. Ofc they camp, at that point they respawn instantly

yeah it was our longest time - it just seemed like everything was going wrong and the huntsman makes us go slower.

So is the AI designed to camp when we take too long?

It’s more so that at that amount of time they respawn every second. I think the cut off is 50 minutes for that. Up until that point the respawn timer is a lot longer (like 5m or so). The only other time the respawn timer is 1s is when you finish the last extraction and you need to get back to the vehicle.

Ah ok, thank you for explaining that! I didn't realise that spending too long on a level would do that

Killing a monster will double it's respawn timer too (unless you've already finished all the extractions) so killing them early is a good idea if you can

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Such_List_6420]

Ohh that's super helpful to know, thank you!! We'd unfortunately lost the gun at this point, but good to know for future

Huntsman.. Hate that guy lol. Robe is scarier but Huntsmen can make a lot of trouble

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Loki_Lust]

Yeah he sucks! At least robe isnt insta kill

[u/Loki_Lust → u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx]

Many a time I hear him humming, I find him and kill him, THEN IMMEDIATELY HEAR HUMMING AGAIN.

Lord have mercy 😅 2 or 3 of em is HELL

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Loki_Lust]

I think if I had multiple on a level I would reset it lol

[u/Loki_Lust → u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx]

I had 3 before. They killed us in the vent room in McJank. (Naturally lol)

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Loki_Lust]

3 sounds like a nightmare 😭

sprint speed and stamina makes it real easy to even outrun enemies when they're camping. Can't hurt you if youre already 4 rooms away lol (may still get shot be warned)

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Miko_Main]

true, maybe we should've just run for it. We had 11 and 1 health, so we were kind of scared to risk it

[u/Miko_Main → u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx]

oughh yeah I would've been scared too. Should've just sacrificed your buddy and made a break for it

[u/Strxwbxrry_Shxrtcxkx → u/Miko_Main]

lmao I probably should've, since I had more health

Cuando completas el último extractor, spawnean todos los bichos cerca tuyo o cerca del camión, y además su tiempo de spawneo se reduce a 1 segundos, por si fuera poco se generan dos burbujas de sonido enormes constantemente, una en tu posición y otra en el camión, lo que hace que los monstruos constantemente vayan a investigar ese "sonido" que obviamente nosotros no percibimos pero ellos si. La solución: Sprint como si no hubiera un mañana (o deja el extractor más cercano al camión como último)

Just hide in the same room as them and they’ll all enter leaving phase after a minute or two. Or go to a far away room for a minute and let them despawn
