But looping isn’t just about running in circles.
It requires tactics, map awareness, and smart decision-making.

What Is Loop?
Successfully looping and confusing the Killer alsoincreases your chance to escapethe chase and survive.
Learn Map Layouts
Learn the map layouts andremember where the safe loops are.
The more you memorize these, the easier it’ll be to plan your escape routes on the fly.
At the same time,keep an eye out for dead zones.
Running into areas with no pallets or vaults can be a death sentence.
Since you’re not actively dodging the Killer, you won’t lose much distance or risk slowing down.
At mid-height obstacles,tilt your camera higherto maintain visibility of the Killer’s movements.
Stay Close To The Objects
Alwaysrun as close as possible to the objectsyou’re looping around.
This allows you to reach pallets and windows faster, extending the chase for as long as possible.
Sticking tightly to loops also increases your chances of escaping safely.
Sostay calm, and wait until the Killer is close enough before vaulting.
If they enter, then vault the window.
If they circle around, stay inside until they enter, then vault.
So when you know you’re about to go down,be mindful of where you fall.
They might not immediately realize where you’ve fallen and could waste time searching for you.
Stick to the wall and play with their blind spot.
