Safe vs Unsafe Zones
How to route the map without donating free downs.
Core Concepts
- Safe zones have layered options and clean exits.
- Unsafe zones have single-option paths, low cover, or dead-end geometry.
- Route planning is about moving between safe islands while minimizing unsafe exposure.
Survivor Playbook
- Take objectives you can leave safely, not just nearest objectives.
- Pre-plan your next safe zone before committing risky interactions.
- When in unsafe space, prioritize distance and reset over greed.
Killer Playbook
- Pressure survivors into unsafe lanes rather than brute forcing safe zones.
- Hook and patrol around sectors with weak survivor exits.
- Track where survivors keep taking forced unsafe paths.
Common Mistakes
- Starting chases in dead zones with no fallback.
- Healing in unsafe center-map pockets.
- Ignoring route quality while focusing only on objective speed.
Quick Checklist
- Label safe and unsafe sectors early.
- Take fights near your safer lanes.
- Avoid repeated rotates through known dead zones.
- Re-route after each major resource loss.
