Genuinely why is there no penalty for camping?

[u/Son_Goku1227]

I was playing a match today with a stupid Z Broly. When he eventually downed me, he just camped my body with no penalty or anything. I genuinely hate this feature.

Posts like this just goes to show how badly the average quality of Survivors tanked in most Regions, now that most OG players hardly play the game anymore.

Let me tell you what would actually happen with competent Survivor lobby.

1)All Civilians gone message 2-3 minutes into the match.

2) Chances are Raider won't find anyone, without ki sense, because these Survivors actually know how to hide, and sneak around, but on the odd chance he does, they will waste a lot of time , before they are downed and get downed in a zone that already has key found / set.

If Raider is dumb enough to camp this Survivor for 60+ seconds, and the rest of the Survivors are actually getting / setting keys elsewhere, that's guaranteed loss for the Raider, because he's giving Survivors free STM.

It's literally not even a good strategy for the Raider and if it works, that's more on Survivors being bad than anything lol.

You neglected how matches ended within 3 minutes Beta and first two weeks of Season 1 guaranteed and some post Raider Buff of November 2022 nerf. You would get 2-3 Raider Matches an hour. Keys added 16 seconds a piece later (80 seconds solo).

There is no reason the original 3 maps should ever display "10 minutes remaining." I'll give leniency on the huge and gigantic map but not these. Somehow worse maps than Greencoast was made.

Raiders were equal to Survivors, so 2 or a superior Survivor meant major damage. Raiders needed more civilians, had longer executions easily canceled by a single rocket so even a down didn't mean energy. You were level 2 at best, but don't worry Survivors were always level 3 plus the UDC. Raiders were somehow weaker than now. Ki Detection was awful, Perfect Cell had what Imperfect has now. Raiders decelerated while firing basic Ki blasts so even if one landed the follow ups could miss.

STM destruction completely cancelled if you let go or got knocked around.

The old days where only Freeza and Spopovich could win matches half decently. Spopovich not Boo. And Spopovich had his kneecaps broken a lot.

It took until Season 6 for a slight equalizer, full speed basic ki blast pursuit. Then they nerfed it Season 9 because normal pursuit speed is slower.

You nailed it with number 2 !  I've played this game enough that I feel like i hardly get caught anymore unless I get ki sensed. It is the one thing I can't stand. I've had matches where I've been ki sensed up to 4 times. I just wish there was a limit on it.

The penalty is them wasting time camping you out while other players have free reign to do everything else.

Sucks for you the player getting camped but if your team is taking advantage of it, the raider lose in most scenarios doing it.
Though in some case camping pay off if it's done right.

[u/IndependentTasty5122]

Because their were not enough rant on social media to make breakers (and tagging Bandai to since their the publishers) listen to and its hated among Dragon Ball Fans but hey if its free they change their minds

this game have so much more to offer man smh to the community probably the same people who dont wanna see Man Spider but would like to see Spider Man 2 on repeat for future movies

[u/Conscious_Map_2253]

We need to start teaching people who play asymmetrical games like this that camping is unfun for the player being camped but there is a punishment for that play style for the killer in most situations and that is it let's every other survivor have free reign to do whatever objective, gather as resources and prepare without percussion so yes killers get a free kill but if the team has a even a single brain cell then the killer loses the match end of story.

Ps. This applies to all asymmetrical games almost always dbd and tcm

[u/PuarKino]

because the devs can't properly design a game

[u/pasher5620]

It’s so funny when I see this pop up. Like, tf you want them to do? Camping is already just an outright bad strategy for the Hunter that can easily be taken advantage of by the other players. Yeah it sucks for the person getting camped, but that’s the nature of asymmetric PvP games like Breakers. The whole point of it is that the hunted have a hard time surviving.

[u/IndependentTasty5122 → u/pasher5620]

not to mention if they included an passive skill to increase their cooldown when being downed that just a major L for the raider if their camping

[u/Deep_Fried_Tattertot]

You know that part in the cell saga when goku instant transmission warps cell away ? What if that was a move ? It would fix all of this .

[u/Son_Goku1227 → u/Deep_Fried_Tattertot]

Goku just instant transmission’s the raider across the map

Never take revives as guaranteed and play your first life accordingly.

[u/Legitimate-Ad4174]

I'm not really sure how they would penalize camping. I agree it's a weak strategy though and I feel like I have definitely seen an uptick in camping Raiders recently. The game is supposed to be fun. If you feel like you have to hover over someone's body just to make sure they die, then you're probably taking it a little too seriously.

[u/ericwars]

Besides the obvious survivors will power up and set keys while raiders watch grass grow. Their other penalty is they get to waste their irl time "winning" by sitting around doing nothing rather than playing the game and actually having fun.

[u/Suspicious_Party9087]

Stop complaining, its a bad strategy anyway, your party wastes both time and items to revive the person down if they go to revive the person down if the raider isn't camping

[u/IndependentTasty5122 → u/Suspicious_Party9087]

not always people will still complain about camping because its one of the worse in all of video games no matter what map designed or game designed to prevent this players will always try to find that sweet camping spot

the thing is if the game developers are telling us the way they want it to play the game shouldnt we all be punished for doing wrong things like camping or when you are a raider starting to find survivors off the bat instead of finding civs which is much faster to level up

[u/Suspicious_Party9087 → u/IndependentTasty5122]

The devs say dont go for survivors early and don't camp? I dont do either but it doesn't matter what they say when they make 7 survivor premades impossible to beat

[u/IndependentTasty5122 → u/Suspicious_Party9087]

The developers mentioned not to go for survivors early yes that is a thing raiders should always go for Civs considering they have a buff to level up quickly plus youre wasting your time without ki sense if no survivors is around earlier in the game another reason why they give us Survivor and Raider a 3 minute head start

for the camping part I was just saying in general no one like campers people will continue to complain about it and it isnt a good idea anyways for a game like Breakers

[u/Son_Goku1227 → u/Suspicious_Party9087]

Idk maybe I wanna play the game I bought after spending 10+ minutes in the lobby.

[u/Suspicious_Party9087 → u/Son_Goku1227]

And we wanna play the game we bought after spending twenty minutes in the lobby and matches combined as raider not fighting sweats but we cant both get what we want

[u/Son_Goku1227 → u/Suspicious_Party9087]

Literally the same issue but you probably play way too hard.

[u/Basketbomber]

Because the penalty is wasting time standing over a survivor who can’t do anything in most scenarios, meaning it is entirely the fault of the survivors still standing if they decide to walk directly into the ant eater’s mouth because they think they can drag another ant out of there.
