Guide: How to NOT be THAT kind of Survivor | Dead by Daylight 

*Disclaimer:* No webcams were harmed during the production of that video. The noises were added in post-production for comedical effects. All my webcams get plenty of fresh air, are walked outside daily and have a healthy diet. Thanks for your concern.

This Nancy was so Impressively bad at the game that Otz made a almost 20 minutes long video to make sure he never see's someone like her again.

I like how when Otz went to punch his webcam he hesitated to try and bait out the dead hard.

I'm always the guy doing 80% of the gen work, getting hooked for the first time while the gates are being opened and just gets left behind by his teammates.

In a meta way, it's kind of funny how "We should split up" is actually the best tactic in a game that's based around homages to horror movies.

I like how he made this video because of a Nancy

Otz as a survivor "dont touch lit totems, its a waste of time" Otz, using Devour Hope on killer: "I second that"

Love the plug for adapting your ability to the team. My second day As a new killer I had a team that rushed fast without any hooks. Before they opened the gate they let me practice looping and hitting them. I would then move to someone else and let them heal themselves so I could chase them again. As a new player this was really helpful and everyone gained a lot more blood points.

When i play survivor: **gets chased for 5 minutes and only one gen gets done** When i play killer: **chasing a survivor for only a minute** **3 gens pop** ........

How to not die as Survivor: *Just play Killer*

The "one person on gens" thing is so accurate tho! I've absolutely known that if I'm not on gens then noone is and they won't get done. We've all had that game where you do a gen, get two hook rescues then get chased and the 2nd gen isn't finished.

"Leave bones alone" *NOED has entered the chat*

How not to die as a Survivour: Survive the camera punch

Yesterday I was telling someone after game they had to save me from hook , cuz Yknow that’s how u play survivor , you save ur team. After game he says “grow up , learn that you’re not entitled to anything , no one cares about you and that the world doesn’t revolve around you” I was like damn bro I just wanted u to save me off hook .

I remember a twitch streamer attacking me for doing the gens while I was already hooked for twice. Our teammates were already dead and only two of us were left behind. The killer couldn't find me while doing the last 3 gens. While the twitch streamer was not doing the gens and got caught by the killer and got chased while I was doing the last gen. She got killed as soon as I opened the gate and blamed for me for being useless and selfish. While I finished the game with 38k points. I love how it's nearly impossible to satisfy anyone at all and how they project their own selfishness to the others. Her expectation was me to sacrifice myself for her. We were both hooked. But we still had the chance of doing the gens because the killer was not good. But instead they just want you to be a dumbass who is attracting killers attention. I will never forget her insults for 20 minutes in her stream.

- Comes here for instructions. - Gets yelled at for 18 minutes.

_”You’ve done approximately 5 years of totem cleansing. You can probably walk to Harvard and walk out with an archeology degree because you’ve been into bones for so long”_ *- Otz, PhD, 2020*

That Nancy gave me huge "Doing gens, you?" vibes.

"Pressure point of No Return on Gens, or PPNRG" Pee pee energy

Horror movies: No, you can’t split up! You will get killed! Otz: hehe generator goes ding

Survivors after missing a skill check: I have an idea Me: What? Survivor: Lets leave

the virgin "no hope" nancy vs. the chad "doing gens, you?" claudette

This is why I and many others believe bond is extremely powerful going in as a solo.

Me watching this: STOP. STOP TELLING THEM THIS. STOP IT. NOT THAT TOO. DAMNIT NANCY HE'S SPILLING OUR KILLER SECRETS NOW

Otzdarva: *trying hard to get 50 wins streak on every killer* Not otzdarva: Im about to ruin this man’s whole career

that nancy reminds me of that claudette no0b3 found that said “getting generators, you?” when no0b got chased for 20 minutes

I gotta say Otz I really appreciate this video as a whole. The gameplay added was a nice touch since im honestly the type of person who needs to focus on something to really pay attention, i cant just listen to somebody talk; i inevitably tune them out. And as for the topic of the video itself man, we REALLY need more people watching this since solo queue games are always worst case scenario for me. Survivors commit these sins to often so im glad you're still out here teaching us how to be better, thank you.

My games : Claudettes and Neas etc.. With urban evasion crouch walking around the map doing nothing.. Claudette hears the heartbeat and instantly jumps into the nearest locker and stays there until she gets crows and they get chased for a grand total of 7.9 seconds

I was chased all game, literally 5 gens. Then i went down to noed. While i was on hook 2 other went down to noed. While the killer was downing/hooking them claud walked up to me on the hook and left me to try to open the door where she got grabbed in the process. Killer got a 4k and Claud refused to save me bc i "didn't do any gens or cleanse totems". I was being chased ALL GAME 😐

Seeing that Nancy do self-care when I can't afford the money to get Inner strength, that hurt me emotionally

Something I want to add for running a killer; hold W. It was done to me, and when I incorporated it, I became a much better survivor. Some survivors drop the pallet then run for the next pallet. If the killer breaks the pallet, do not run for the next pallet. Run as far as you can. First, it helps prevent dead zones. Second, it wastes a lot more time. You should still drop pallets when you need them, but if you do this, you need them way less.

I'm new to the game and I have to say, you are WITHOUT A DOUBT the best at teaching this game. Keep up everything that you are doing. I like how you recommended a patch that made sense and this one that explains the frustrating experience of randys (random survivor teammates)

Don’t do it survivor mains! He’s tricking you so he gets wins as killer! Keep doing nothing -Totally not a killer main

"If it glows...it goes untouched." - Otzdarva vs. "If it glows, it goes." - The JRM

1 year later and this is still a great video. Thanks Otz!

Thank you for explaining what I’ve been screaming at my monitor for three years. About doing gens together though, when the game progresses, the advantage shifts from survivor to killer. So doing gens together becomes more benificial to shorten that part of the match as much as possible, especially in 3-gen situation endgames or times when you have to commit to the last gen while the killer is hooking someone and/or walking back

this entire time i was quentin hiding in a corner but now im quentin in the open, this has changed my outlook on survivor

"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?" "I run self-care" "And?" "On Nancy" "Get out of here!"

"It would also break my heart if YOU were the person doing this." For some reason, I'm almost as nervous to disappoint Otz as much I am to do the same to my mom. p.s. don't be afraid to take protection hits, especially if you unhook a surv in front of the killer. (without Borrowed Time) Especially if the survivor you saved was on their first hook. Congrats, your save was pointless and now your mate is on their second hook.

God, I play killer most of the time, but I can still feel Otz's rage at these kind of survivors. And I've seen it again and again. Thank you for making this video. Your a pretty influential person in the DBD community, simply because of how wholesome you and your content is, but this video really teaches survivors what they need to do, and how to NOT cleanse dull totems at Rank 1, how to NOT self-care in front of a hook, and how to NOT loop around the gen that 1 survivor was doing the whole time, only for all of your progress to be lost to Ruin. And most importantly, how to NOT blame it on the only altruistic survivor on the team. Again, thank you for this video.

PPNRG is the best thing I've heard this whole year LMAO

The "dial it down" is something I like to do as a killer: give some breathing time to folks when I keep running into them, instead of just straight up hooking someone twice right of unhook I just slug them for a while (also helps avoid DS), take some time to break pallets in games where there's no key and only two survivors left with 3 gens left, simple stuff like that. I don't get half of that treatment when I go as survivor, but feels better to let people at least try to get some points if I have my pip.

It’s the wind up before the punch on the webcam was great lol. Absolute haymaker!

Interesting what you said at the end there. I do sometimes find myself feeling a LITTLE disappointed when the survivor teams are too easy to defeat or when one just gives up and stands there.

Imagine being so bad at a game someone makes an 18 minute guide on how not to be like you

"if it glows, it goes untouched" Wrong. If it glows it goes and gives you 1500 bloodpoints

Literally, after seeing this video and applying the advice, the matches have been going sooooo much better! There are still some really good killers, but the escapes have increased in solo Q and the pips are happening much faster than before, the only frustrating situation is when the killer hooks and face camps literally at the start of the match until death... then no good for rank 😔 THANK YOU, phenomenal advice, tried and tested

Need an edit of that Otz punch with RE7 “Welcome to the family, son”

“11 out of 10 killers run ruin” *- Otz, 2020*

This man got so mad that he made a video on how to not suck LMAO

17:44 I agree, I'm glad the game is going more toward build oriented perks, rather than just having singular perks that are ridiculously powerful in themselves.

Otz, your punchlines to the very real points you make are fantastic. Never change, please.

"Do not heal ..." Me as a Oni player: Yessssss

As a solo survivor, kindred is a must. I feel like I cant play without it.

Awesome breakdown! This is much appreciated! 🙏

This is the best survivor guide from a killer main. I try to get my team to do these things and no they would rather heal after every single hit, search every chest, and just not do generators. It's frustrating. I hope everyone watches this!

This is too hard, I’ll just die instead

"If it glows, it goes untouched" Me, who needs to clense 20 totems:

This is how you know Otz is wholesome- When he rages the worst thing he does is just discourse with his bad teammate and then uses it as an opportunity to teach others.

As a super beginner player, I absolutely LOVE all those guides. I play with 3 experienced guys and they kind of forced me to do some research. Your videos help me improve a lot :)

"By now, you have done approximately 5 years of totem cleaning, you could probably walk into Harvard, and come out with an archaeology degree, because you've been into bones for so long." Holy shit I don't know how Otz could ever top a line like this now.

I remember when my team left me to die. Whenever I had time even if I was injured I would do gens. When someone needed healing I would use For The People when needed or just heal them regularly. I took agro half the game and all the gens were done. As soon as the doors were powered and opened my whole team left me and I died after all I did for them. :(

Best video I've ever seen about how-to, great job!

There aren’t ad breaks in this video. I’m so happy.

So what i got from this video was my build should be: Self Care Inner Strength No One Left Behind Sole Survivor

Nancy: I wonder who this video is directed for.

Otz always seems so chill in his videos, no matter whats going on in game. granted, i dont have a ton of time to watch his livestreams, or any for that matter, but its so surprising to me to see him getting upset enough to actually wind back on a punch that hard, id have never expected something like that from him. Not that im saying its bad or anything, hell i usually punch my bed/pillows at least once per DBD session lmao, its a frustrating game at times, its just that Otz seems so zen all the time is all, which honestly kuddos to him for, its not easy.

This guide helped me out heaps! Thank you man!

i don’t know if should trust this information from someone who is not Otzdarva . i’d rather wait til Otz makes a video on this for truthful information 😃👍🏾

Hey I am the best at dying as survivor. This guide was specifically made for me.

watching 13:43 is so fun, I can't believe that worked. Thank you for the tips, I've only played killer and it's nice to know that I'm not gonna hop in and try survivor and instantly anger my teammates not knowing how to play lol

This advice for a survivor is great. Just followed your advice Otz from splitting up, having the perk kindred, and keep one doing gen makes me reach rank 3 survivor.

Killer: *Breathes 40 ft away from the gen* That one survivor: *YEET*

You said keep archives secondary, but in my play time: doing the challenges and rituals gives me a goal during the game (yes, surviving is the primary goal). I'm not a great survivor, so doing challenges gives me incentive to complete them while also trying not to disturb my teammates too much. That, to me, is fun. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but it's also why I won't be making it to the high ranks.

“Let’s be honest, 11/10 killers run ruin” 😂

Been watching your vids and they help that's for sure. I've gotten better at both Killer and Survivor from these so thank you.

For the killer specific thing, I'd like to amend that: "Do not get Tormented by Pyramid Head as much as you can, but don't take a hit or go down to avoid getting tormented."

NOtz: Spread out on gens, heal when absolutely necessary, prioritize gens and run these super useful perks that'll make your solo queue experience not absolute hell we're walking in to. Survivors: Aight team lets group up on this one gen, go for group saves, self care in the corner of the map 5 seconds after escaping chase and use the boring meta perks because everyone uses them *Blames the team when they die and the killer for just existing*

if you don't, a. lead the killer to your teamates, b. block my escape route, then you're fine in my book

Otz: How to NOT be THAT kind of Survivor Claudette and Meg: I pretend I didn't see that

"If you're the guy that does this it would break my heart" another example of otz caring for his fans, thank you❤

How to counter Ruin and Pop? Otz: Split up! Cheryl: shh don’t listen to Otz, just run Repressed Alliance!

I'm fairly new and primarily play survivor, this is a very useful breakdown I how I should make my choices at different parts in the game. Thank you!

Otz: Do NOT touch the bones. Otz: Touches the bones.

Jokes on you! I'm stuck in an eternal loop where the killer can't hook anyone but the survivors can't complete any generators!

I hate how hard it is to play surviver when you get a teammate that sits in a locker or gets off the gen everytime they hear the killer's heartbeat, I understand if its a huntress or a stealth killer(GhostFace) how that may make you shy away from gens, but running everytime the killer so much as breaths in your general direction is annoying and wastes precious time, and people who teabag at pallets are the worst, and usually end up screwing up because they wasted time teebagging, proof that teabagging messes you up is all around you, one time I played Wraith(yes I am a Wraith Main and I can get grabs without needing an easy mode button deal with it) with fast break addons, and every time they would stop to teebag thinking they had time I would land hits on them, long story short they DCed on their first down and said I was a hacker, don't be like those people, just keep running when you throw a pallet, you never know when someone will be running insta break wraith.

Finally. I’ve been waiting for this video forever.

I haven't even watched the video yet but what goes through my mind is a claudette that was doing a gen across the map while *three of us were dying on first hook*

Kindred is a must have if you're playing solo. I've had so many situations where more than 1 survivor leaves their gen to unhook me... I've also been the culprit in this before as my random team had no kindred! To remedy this issue I use both Kindred and Better Together. This ensures my dumbass teammates can avoid my gen when in a chase. It also allows me to decide who should make a save while on a gen if someone gets downed while I'm working. Kindred speaks for itself, makes saves easier and gives the dumbass team an idea who should save. If only more people used these perks instead of the boring, insecure meta builds that everyone, literally EVERYONE uses.

I understand now... Inner Strength, Self Care, Solidarity, and No Mither is top tier meta together... Thank you Otz-san!

Love the videos good stuff! Keep em coming!

Absolutely fabulous! This Nancy is legendary! He should do some duos with her. So we can watch his blood pressure go up and His NaceyTSD kick in.

I feel like I'm always the weak link of my team and it hurts to see my team go down because of me. Thanks for making this, I needed this a lot!

I understand Otz's frustration and all but he has to look at this from Nancy's POV (regardless of how bad it is) This could be a player that spends maybe 1-3 hours on the game a week. Doesn't pay attention to patch notes or news or anything related to the game and just gets on once in awhile to have fun they don't know the meta they don't know the strats or anything. Otz is a great player but he's also very competitive most of the time. Not everyone wants to play a game to sweat and not all survivors care if they die or all killers care if they 4k. Some people just do dumb things from our POV because in theirs they aren't doing anything wrong they're just playing the game and being immersive.

I’m always struck by your use of “temerity” when I come back to re-Watch this Otz lololol 👍👍👍

OTZ you truly are a legend!

"Don't bother with totems." *Laughs in Devour Hope*

"You can probably walk to Harvard and come out with an archaeology degree because you've been into bones for so long."

Imagine if undyings totem would glow in a diffrent colour, so its just about finding it first and not guessing which one might be undying.

My brain: Point of no return My thoughts: P.O.R.N My brain: wait, thats wrong.
