How to Run Killer Shack

Core Concepts

• Shack value comes from timing: when you enter, how you exit, and whether pallet is still up.
• Respect killer power differences; shack rules change by killer threat profile.
• Preserve shack for high-value chases unless map state forces early spend.

Survivor Playbook

• Avoid auto-vaulting shack window on rhythm; vary timing and route direction.
• If pallet is up, decide early whether you are playing for stun or pure transition.
• Leave shack before killer path fully seals your next tile option.

Killer Playbook

• Do not over-commit shack if survivors are gaining free objective tempo elsewhere.
• Use power and pathing to deny window rhythm before pallet commit.
• Track whether shack pallet is dropped; it changes future chase decisions globally.

Common Mistakes

• Instantly dropping shack pallet in low-pressure first contact.
• Staying shack-side after window route is already compromised.
• Treating shack as mandatory chase location every match.

Quick Checklist

• Is shack pallet still available?
• Am I using shack to transition or to stall in place?
• Would leaving shack now improve my overall map position?
