The first time a survivor is hooked, they may attempt to escape the hook, although the rate of doing so is low hooked survivors are normally rescued by other survivors. When hunting the survivors, the killer must capture them by either striking them with their weapon (one strike injures survivors and two strikes puts them into a dying state) or grabbing them in one move by catching them unexpectedly. Most killers only have one form of locomotion, moving at a pace that is moderately faster than that of a sprinting survivor.

Repairing generators can be made quicker with items such as toolboxes. They must then open the exit gates and escape through them the final survivor may also find an unmarked escape hatch to jump into, though the hatch can be shut if the killer finds it first. In order to escape, survivors must repair five generators scattered across the map to power up the exit gates. Survivors use these obstacles and tools to help them elude the killer for as long as they can. Survivors can also vault over obstacles much faster than the killer, providing a means of escape. The survivors can only fight back by stunning the killer or using items such as flashlights to blind them. The survivors' perspectives are third-person, while the killer's perspective is first-person. The player repairing a generator with a toolbox with another SurvivorĪ group of four survivors must elude one killer bent on sacrificing them on meat hooks to an almighty malevolent being called the Entity.
