• Once a match starts, there will be a number of broken generators (3 greater than the number of Survivors) scattered throughout the map.
• Survivors (three teammates) will have to work together to repair 1 more generator than the number of Survivors to activate the exit gates’ switches.
• There will be a single Killer per match.
• The Killer has one goal: do whatever they can to prevent every Survivor from escaping.

• Three character states exist in this mode.
• Normal State
  • Sprinting or being damaged/knocked out will reveal your trail to the Killer for 10 seconds.
  • Your heart will beat faster and louder when the Killer is near you.
  • Sprinting will drain your exhaust gauge. If your exhaust gauge is fully depleted, you can not sprint until the gauge regains health.
  • Falling from a high place does not inflict damage, but it will take longer to stand upright again.
• Damaged State
  • Receiving damage in normal state will bring you to a damaged state.
  • You will drop a consistent blood trail (lasting 4 seconds) behind you every second whenever you move.
  • You will also moan in pain, which may alert the Killer.
  • Using the Med Kit to heal yourself will turn you back to normal state.
    • Other Survivors can also heal you to turn you back to normal state.
• Knocked Out
  • Receiving damage from damaged state will knock you out.
  • Your movement speed will drastically decrease.
  • You can not interact with any map objects.
  • The Killer or another Survivor will be able to carry you.
  • Your HP will slowly decrease for 4 minutes; you will die once your HP drops to 0.
  • You can slowly heal yourself even without the Med Kit, but another Survivor must heal you in order to go back to damaged state.

• Find broken generators and use the interaction key to fix every one.
• A QTE will show up during repair – if you succeed, the repair gage slightly increases. If you fail, your location is revealed to the Killer and the generator’s repair gage slightly decreases.
  • ※ QTE: Quick Time Event is an onscreen prompt requiring players to perform certain actions for the next step.
• More than one Survivor can repair a single generator together to speed up repair time.
• Once the required number of generators is repaired, the location of the exit gates will show up as silhouettes on the screen.
• Flip the switch on the exit gate with the interaction key to escape in time.
  • Must escape through the exit altogether within 2 minutes if no Survivor is knocked out or stuck in a Blue Zone Locker.
  • Must escape through the exit altogether within 4 or more minutes if at least 1 Survivor is knocked out or stuck in a Blue Zone Locker.
  • If every Survivor fails to escape within the specified time, the Killer wins.
• If you’re the only Survivor alive, you can open the exit gate without having to repair any more generators.

• Survivors can not kill the Killer.
• Avoid getting damaged/knocked out and sent to the Blue Zone Lockeras a sacrifice by the Killer.
  • Blue Zone Locker: Holds knocked out Survivors for a certain amount of time before killing them.
  • Blue silhouettes of knocked out Survivors are shown to other Survivors.
• When you’re knocked out and the Killer carries you, a QTE will pop up to give you a chance to stun the Killer and drop you.
• Survivors can also knock over randomly spawned Pallets to either gain distance while running away, or to hit the Killer at the right timing to temporarily disorient them.
   

• You can only hold one item at the same time.
• Items are consumed on use.
• At the beginning, Survivors are randomly given one starting item among the following four:
  • Smoke Grenade: Creates a temporary smoke field to hinder the Killer’s vision.
  • Lv. 1 Stun Grenade (2): Use to temporarily stun the Killer.
  • Lv. 1 Toolbox: Use to temporarily destroy the Blue Zone Locker. It can also be used to speed up generator repairs.
  • Lv. 1 Med Kit: Use to heal yourself and earn a speed boost when healing yourself and/or your teammates.
    • A QTE pops up during heal – if you succeed, the heal gage increases slightly. If you fail, the gage slightly decreases.
    • More than one Survivor (they don’t all have to be holding Med Kits) can heal a single Survivor together to speed up heal time.
• Survivors can also find and pick up item crates during the match.
  • Lv. 2 Stun Grenade: Use to temporarily stun and hinder the Killer’s vision.
  • Smoke Grenade
  • Lv. 2 Toolbox
  • Lv. 2 Med Kit

  • If you loot an item from the crate when you already have one, the item you were holding will be dropped.

• Killers have faster movement speed than Survivors.
