MacMillan Estate
The classroom realm: jungle gyms, shack, and loops you can actually learn.
MacMillan (Coal Tower, Shelter Woods, Ironworks, Suffocation Pit, and the rest of the estate) is where you should learn tiles. Shack is a strong loop. Jungle gyms have windows you run in a pattern, not a panic vault. Killers that stare at a pallet here will teach you more than a jump scare. Play both sides on this realm before you blame RNG. Call shack, gym, and the gen in the open — not a streamer's 2020 tile name until you can pre-drop versus hold.
- Learn first
- Yes — outdoor tiles
- Strong tile
- Shack + jungle gyms
- Gen rule
- Do not finish the two easy ones that leave a 3-gen
Key spots
Killer shack
Window, pallet, a God pallet if it spawned. Loop slowly. A 20-second chase that donates three pallets is a loss.
Jungle gym
Window chain. Killer mindgames live here. Hold the pallet until you must drop.
Main building
Indoor-ish. Do not all four sit on the same gen in the doorway.
Open field gens
Finish these later if they would leave three packed together.
Hooks
Scamper to a tile after unhook. Unhooking in the killer's face with no trade is a second hook.
Play notes
- Play both sides. You will loop better after you have been the killer staring at a pallet.
- Learn to pre-drop versus holding every pallet. Dead Hard and windows do not replace map knowledge.
- Cap FPS for stable skill checks. Spikes during gens cause comedy, not progress.
