The quick answer

The tutorial reference describes four Survivors facing one Killer. Survivors repair generators to power exit gates while avoiding the Killer; movement, recovery and helping teammates are part of learning the role.[1]

Understand the distinction

Our recommendation is to practice recognizing the objective and deciding when to help or move. The purpose is to reduce confusion, not to promise a guaranteed escape against every Killer or map.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Complete the available Survivor tutorial and identify generators and an exit gate.[1]
  2. During a Trial, keep track of the objective and teammates before committing to a rescue.[1]
  3. After the match, review one positioning decision and one objective decision.[1]

Limits and next steps

Limited modes and special events can use different rules. This is a standard-role introduction, not a full map or Killer matchup guide.[1]
