2. stealth How to Use Crouch and Ambush Attack
· The Pig's first ability, Crouch, slows down movement speed but grants the Undetectable status, removing her terror radius.
· While surprise attacks using this are not bad, experienced Survivors can easily counter by listening for The Pig's breathing.
· In the crouched state, instead of a basic attack, you can use an Ambush Attack, which can create opportunities.
· Ambush Attacks are effective when used near pallets or windows to create a 50/50 situation, or at unexpected timings for Survivors.
· However, if a Survivor vaults over a structure, Ambush Attacks can easily miss, requiring careful judgment.

3. ⚙️ Reverse Bear Trap Management Strategy
· The Pig's core ability, the Reverse Bear Trap, can be placed on a Survivor when they are hooked.
· After the trap is placed, if the Survivor starts repairing a generator, the trap's timer activates, and they are instantly killed when the timer runs out.
· Survivors must disarm the trap at Jigsaw Boxes located around the map, and can disarm it after a maximum of 4 attempts.
· If a Survivor fails to disarm the trap, they must find another Jigsaw Box, delaying generator repair during this time.
· It is crucial for the Killer to place as many traps as possible to increase the time Survivors spend away from generators.
· The trap timer stops if the Survivor is in the dying state, hooked, or in a chase.
· The Killer cannot directly see the trap timer, but can infer the approximate time by the speed of the timer sound.
· While a trap is active, Survivors cannot exit through the exit gates; they can only escape through the emergency exit (hatch).

| Perk Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Surveillance | · Generators you kick or damage with a perk are highlighted in white. · If a Survivor touches them, they turn yellow and their aura is revealed. · Evaluation: Helps with gameplay, but there are many better generator control perks, so it's not widely used. |
| Hex: The Executioner's Judgement | · While carrying a Survivor, the aura of Survivors near a white Hex Hook is revealed. · An alert is triggered if a hook is sabotaged. · Evaluation: Its effect is minimal, so it's rarely used. |
| Make Your Choice | · If a Survivor is unhooked while you are at least 32 meters away from the hook, the unhooking Survivor becomes exposed for 60 seconds. · Evaluation: Can yield significant benefits if successful, but its activation conditions are difficult to meet, making it a high-difficulty perk to use. |
