DbD Survivor Habits

Walk vs crouch, skill checks, heals, and not honking the terror radius.

Movement

Crouch-walking everywhere as survivor. Walk, run when spotted, and stop honking the terror radius into a dead zone.

Cap FPS for stable skill checks. Spikes during gens cause great skill-check comedy. Greats are extra; misses are a gift.

Bring a med-kit or know where to heal. Slugged teammates need a plan, not panic vaults.

Pallets and windows are time. Spend them on a tile, not in a dead corridor.

Gates and hatch. Collapse is a timer. Do not wander the map while someone is on first hook.
