When to Pre-Drop Pallets

Core Concepts

• Pre-drop is a tempo decision, not a skill-gap admission.
• Use pre-drop when spacing is lost and greed has poor payoff.
• Resource value depends on team objective state and map zone.

Survivor Playbook

• Pre-drop strong pallets against killers that hard-punish greed windows.
• Use pre-drop when injured and no safe follow-up tile exists.
• Avoid pre-dropping every first contact; save resources when read is favorable.

Killer Playbook

• Exploit predictable pre-drop habits by accelerating path and conserving break timing.
• If survivors over pre-drop one side, shift pressure to next zone and cash dead map later.
• Track where pre-drops happen to plan endgame collapse routes.

Common Mistakes

• Pre-dropping premium pallets in low-threat openers.
• Greeding obvious unsafe pallet interactions while injured.
• Treating every killer as same pre-drop profile.

Quick Checklist

• Do I have spacing to greed safely?
• If I drop now, does it preserve route chain?
• Will this resource matter more later?
