Forsaken is a 4v1 asymmetric horror game on Roblox where four survivors try to repair generators and escape while one killer hunts them down. If you have never touched Forsaken before, this is the only guide you need to go from "what is this game" to confidently loading into matches and contributing to your team. We cover what the game actually is, how to find and launch it, every control you need to know, a complete walkthrough of your first match as both survivor and killer, and the most common beginner mistakes that will get you killed over and over until you fix them. By the end of this guide you will understand the game well enough to hold your own, and you will know exactly where to go for advanced strategies (our /forsaken-killers and /forsaken-survivors pages are your next stops after this).

What Is Forsaken? Understanding the Game Before You Play

Before you load into your first match, you need a mental model of what Forsaken actually is. Without this framework, everything that happens in-game will feel random and confusing. Forsaken is an asymmetric survival horror game, meaning the two sides are fundamentally different: survivors play in third person, work cooperatively, and are individually weaker than the killer; the killer plays in first person (or close third person depending on the killer), works alone, and is faster and more powerful than any individual survivor. The game is a resource management puzzle disguised as a horror game.

The Survivor Side (4 Players)

As a survivor, your job is deceptively simple: repair five generators, open an exit gate, and leave. In practice, this involves constant decision-making under pressure.

•Primary Objective: Find generators scattered around the map and hold the repair button to fill them. Each generator takes 80 seconds solo. You need to complete 5 out of the 7 on the map.
•Secondary Objectives: Rescue hooked teammates, heal injured teammates, cleanse totems that power killer perks, and open chests for items. These tasks support the primary objective by keeping your team alive and functional.
•Chase Survival: When the killer finds you, your job is to run. Use pallets (wooden barriers you can drop to block the killer), windows (vaultable openings in walls), and the map's structures to keep distance. The longer you survive a chase, the more time your teammates have on generators.
•Teamwork: Forsaken is a team game. A survivor who only hides and does generators but never rescues or takes chases is hurting the team. Conversely, a survivor who constantly goes for flashy rescues but never touches a generator is also hurting the team. Balance is everything.
•Character Selection: Each survivor character (Elliot, Shedletsky, Chance, Two Time, 007n7, Noob) may have different cosmetics and potentially different attributes. Check our /forsaken-survivors page for detailed breakdowns of each character's strengths and optimal builds.

The Killer Side (1 Player)

As the killer, your job is to prevent survivors from completing their objective by finding them, chasing them, downing them, and hooking them. Each killer plays differently, but the core loop is the same.

•Find Survivors: At the start of the match, survivors are scattered across the map repairing generators. Use audio cues (generator repair sounds, footsteps, breathing), visual clues (scratch marks from sprinting survivors, grass movement), and your killer abilities to locate them.
•Chase and Down: Once you find a survivor, chase them. Survivors are slower than you in a straight line but use pallets and windows to create distance. Your goal is to hit them twice: the first hit injures them, the second hit downs them (puts them on the ground).
•Hook Survivors: After downing a survivor, pick them up and carry them to a nearby hook. Hooking a survivor starts a timer. Each survivor can be hooked three times: the third hook sacrifices (kills) them. You want to sacrifice all four survivors to win decisively.
•Apply Pressure: The killer's real challenge is time management. While you chase one survivor, the other three are repairing generators. You need to make efficient decisions: end chases quickly, rotate to generators after hooks, and use your killer's unique abilities to slow the game down.
•Killer Variety: Forsaken has a growing roster of killers with unique abilities. 1x1x1x1 uses infection and crowd control, John Doe uses traps and wall denial, Nosferatu focuses on mobility, Jason/Slasher is a straightforward chase killer, c00lkidd disrupts generators, and Guest 666 brings supernatural terror. Visit /forsaken-killers for detailed guides on every killer.

Getting Started: How To Find and Launch Forsaken

Forsaken is available on Roblox, which means you need a Roblox account (free) and the Roblox client installed on your device. The game itself is free to play with optional in-game purchases for cosmetics and characters.

Step-By-Step Launch Guide

Follow these steps to go from zero to loading into your first match. This assumes you have never played Roblox before.

•Step 1 - Create a Roblox Account: Go to roblox.com and sign up for a free account. You need an email address or phone number. Choose a username you like because it will be visible to other players in Forsaken lobbies.
•Step 2 - Install the Roblox Client: Download and install Roblox from the official website or your device's app store. Roblox runs on PC, Mac, mobile (iOS/Android), and Xbox. PC is the recommended platform for Forsaken because the controls are more precise, but the game is playable on all platforms.
•Step 3 - Search for Forsaken: Open Roblox, use the search bar at the top, and type "Forsaken." The game should appear near the top of results. Look for the correct game by checking the developer name and player count. The game typically has thousands of concurrent players.
•Step 4 - Join a Match: Click the Play button. You will be placed in a lobby where the game assigns roles. The matchmaking system selects one player to be the killer and four to be survivors. Your first few matches will likely be as survivor since new players are often placed on the survivor side.
•Step 5 - Choose Your Character: Before the match starts, select your character from the available roster. As a brand-new player, start with a default survivor (Noob is the most beginner-friendly) and focus on learning mechanics before worrying about optimal character choices.
•Step 6 - Familiarize With the Lobby: While waiting for the match to start, look around the lobby. You can practice basic movement, check your loadout, and see which killer you will be facing (if displayed). Use this time to mentally prepare rather than standing still.

Complete Controls Reference (PC / Keyboard + Mouse)

These are the core controls you need to know before loading into your first match. Memorize the survivor controls first since you will almost certainly play survivor in your first several matches.

Action	Survivor Control	Killer Control	Notes
Move	W / A / S / D	W / A / S / D	Standard WASD movement. Same for both sides.
Sprint	Hold Shift (or dedicated sprint key)	Hold Shift (some killers)	Survivors: drains stamina, leaves scratch marks. Use sparingly.
Interact / Repair / Heal	E (or prompted key)	E (to kick generators, break pallets)	Hold to repair generators, heal teammates, open gates. Tap to interact with objects.
Crouch	Ctrl or C	N/A (most killers cannot crouch)	Reduces visibility and noise. Useful for stealth approaches.
Vault Window	Space or E (near window)	Space or E (slower vault)	Sprint + vault = fast vault. Walk + vault = slow vault. Always fast-vault in chase.
Drop Pallet	Space (near pallet)	N/A	Drops the pallet to block the killer. Can stun if timed correctly.
Attack	N/A	Left Mouse Button (M1)	Basic attack. Hold for lunge (longer range, slightly slower recovery).
Killer Ability	N/A	Right Mouse Button or Q/E (varies)	Each killer has unique abilities mapped to different keys. Check ability descriptions in-game.
Look Around	Mouse (camera follows cursor)	Mouse (first person or close third)	Survivors: third-person camera allows looking behind you while running forward. Use this constantly.
Enter Locker	E (near locker)	E (to search locker)	Survivors hide inside. Killers can open lockers to grab hidden survivors.

Mobile and console controls differ but follow the same logic. On-screen buttons replace keyboard inputs. The game provides control hints during your first few matches.

Your First Match as Survivor: A Complete Walkthrough

This section walks you through an entire survivor match from spawn to escape (or death). Read through this before your first game so you know what to expect at each stage.

Phase 1: Spawn and First Generator (0:00 - 2:00)

The match begins and you spawn at a random location on the map. Do NOT panic. Do NOT sprint. Here is exactly what to do in your first 30 seconds and beyond.

•Spawn Orientation: Take 3 seconds to look around and identify your surroundings. Are you near a generator? A building? Open ground? Knowing where you are on the map prevents you from running blindly into the killer.
•Find a Generator: Walk (do NOT sprint) toward the nearest generator. Generators are large machines with a distinct visual appearance and a slight glow or audio hum. If you cannot see one immediately, walk toward the nearest building or structure because generators often spawn inside or near them.
•Start Repairing: Approach the generator and hold the interact button (E). You will begin repairing. Skill checks will appear periodically as a timing mini-game. For your first few matches, just aim for "Good" skill checks (anywhere in the success zone). Do not stress about hitting "Great" skill checks yet.
•Watch for the Killer: While repairing, keep your camera rotated so you can see your surroundings. If you hear the heartbeat sound getting louder, the killer is approaching. If you see the killer coming, stop repairing and walk away before they get close. Sprint only if they are already in chase with you.
•Do Not Crouch-Walk Everywhere: A common new player instinct is to crouch-walk across the entire map. This is far too slow. Walking at normal speed is quiet enough and significantly faster. Crouch only when you need to hide behind a short object or when the killer is very close and you want to avoid being seen.

Phase 2: Mid-Match Decisions (2:00 - 8:00)

After the first generator or two, the match hits its middle phase. This is where new players make the most mistakes because multiple things are happening simultaneously.

•Generator Priority: After completing your first generator, move to the next nearest one. Walk, do not sprint. If you see a teammate already on a generator, either join them (two people finish it faster) or find a separate generator to maximize team efficiency. Having survivors on multiple generators at once is ideal.
•When a Teammate Gets Hooked: You will see a notification when a teammate is hooked. Do not immediately sprint across the map to rescue them. Check if another teammate is closer to the hook. If someone else is going, stay on your generator. If no one is going and you are the closest, walk toward the hook and make the rescue. After unhooking, stay near your teammate for a few seconds in case they need healing.
•Getting Chased: If the killer finds you, sprint toward the nearest pallet or window. Drop the pallet when the killer is close behind you, then run to the next safe tile. Do NOT drop every pallet immediately. Run around the pallet's tile (the structures near the pallet) in circles first, and only drop it when the killer is about to hit you. Each pallet you waste is one fewer resource for the rest of the match.
•Healing Decisions: If you are injured (you have been hit once), find a teammate to heal you or use a medkit. Healing takes about 16 seconds with a teammate. If no teammate is available and you have no medkit, you can continue doing generators while injured, but be aware that one more hit will down you.
•Do Not Urban Evade Across the Map: "Urban Evading" (crouch-walking slowly across the map while the killer is on the other side) is one of the most common and devastating beginner habits. If the killer is not near you, stand up and walk normally to the next objective. Time spent crouch-walking is time not spent on generators, and generators are how you win.

Phase 3: Endgame (After 5 Generators Complete)

When the fifth generator pops, the exit gates are powered. This is the most exciting and dangerous phase of the match.

•Find an Exit Gate: Exit gates are large doors on the edges of the map. Run to the nearest one. Each map has two exit gates.
•Open the Gate: Stand at the switch and hold the interaction button for 20 seconds. Watch the progress lights on the gate. If the killer approaches while you are opening, you have a decision: either commit to finishing the gate or run and come back later.
•The 99% Technique (Advanced): If a teammate is hooked or in danger, open the gate to 99% (all three lights on, but not fully open) and then stop. Go help your teammate. When you return, one tap finishes the gate. This prevents the endgame collapse timer from starting while you rescue.
•Leaving vs. Saving: If you are at an open gate and a teammate is hooked across the map, you have to make a judgment call. If you are healthy and the hook is not far, going for the save can be worth it. If you are injured, the hook is across the map, and the killer is between you and the hook, just leave. A guaranteed escape is better than a failed rescue attempt that gets both of you killed. Check our endgame strategies at /forsaken-exit-gates-escape-guide-2026.
•Do Not Teabag at the Gate: Standing at an open exit gate taunting the killer wastes time and risks getting grabbed or downed. When the gate is open and you are safe, just leave. The bloodpoints for escaping are worth more than any satisfaction from taunting, and you avoid the risk of an embarrassing death.

Your first 5-10 matches as survivor will feel chaotic and overwhelming. This is normal. You will miss skill checks, run into dead ends, waste pallets, and get sacrificed. Every experienced Forsaken player went through the same learning curve. Focus on one thing per match: "This match I will practice looping one pallet tile." "This match I will focus on not sprinting between generators." Trying to do everything perfectly at once leads to frustration. Improve one thing at a time.

Your First Match as Killer: A Complete Walkthrough

Playing killer is a completely different experience from survivor. You are alone against four players who are actively trying to avoid you. The learning curve is steep, but the power fantasy is real once you understand the basics.

Phase 1: Finding Your First Survivor (0:00 - 1:30)

The match starts and the four survivors are somewhere on the map repairing generators. Your first job is to find one of them.

•Walk Toward the Nearest Generator: The most reliable way to find survivors is to go where they need to be: at generators. Walk toward the nearest generator and look/listen for signs of survivor activity.
•Listen for Generator Sounds: A generator being repaired makes a distinct chugging/mechanical sound that gets louder as you approach. If you hear it, a survivor is nearby. Approach from an angle that cuts off their escape route to a pallet or window.
•Watch for Scratch Marks: Bright red marks on the ground mean a survivor was sprinting in that direction recently. Follow them. New survivors sprint constantly, making them easy to track.
•Do Not Swing Early: When you find a survivor and start chasing, do NOT swing your weapon until you are close enough to guarantee the hit. Swinging and missing (a "whiff") causes a recovery animation that lets the survivor gain massive distance. Be patient. Close the gap. Swing when the hit is free.
•First Chase Expectation: Your first chase will probably take 30-60 seconds as a new killer. That is fine. You are learning the map layout and survivor movement patterns. Over time, your chases will get shorter as you learn to predict survivor routes and use your killer's abilities effectively.

Phase 2: Hooking and Pressure (1:30 - 8:00)

After downing your first survivor, you need to hook them and then immediately create pressure elsewhere. Standing at the hook waiting (camping) is tempting but often counterproductive.

•Hook the Survivor: After downing someone, pick them up (interaction button) and carry them to the nearest hook. A hook aura (visual indicator) shows you where the nearest hooks are. Walk to it and hook them.
•Leave the Hook: This is the hardest lesson for new killers. After hooking, walk away and go to the nearest generator. The reason: while the hooked survivor is on the hook (60 seconds until stage change), you want to be chasing someone else or kicking generators. If you stand at the hook, the other three survivors are freely repairing generators and you are accomplishing nothing.
•Generator Patrol: After hooking, go to a generator you think survivors are working on. Kick generators that have progress to start them regressing. If you find another survivor, chase them. The goal is to keep multiple survivors off generators at all times: one hooked, one being chased, one going for rescue, leaving only one on generators.
•Recognizing When to Camp: Camping IS correct in specific situations. If two or more teammates are hovering near the hook (you can see scratch marks or hear them), staying near the hook lets you potentially get a second down. Late in the game (3+ generators done, few or no hooks), camping becomes more strategic because preventing the rescue is worth more than leaving to find someone.
•Do Not Overcommit to Chases: If a survivor is running you through strong pallets and windows for more than 20-25 seconds without a hit, consider abandoning the chase and finding someone else. A survivor wasting your time at a strong tile while their teammates do generators is the survivors' ideal scenario. Breaking the chase and finding a weaker survivor or an exposed generator is often the smarter play.

Phase 3: Endgame as Killer

When generators are completed and gates are powered, your strategy shifts entirely. You are now playing defense.

•Patrol Exit Gates: Run between the two exit gates checking for survivors opening them. If the gates are close together, this is easy. If they are far apart, you may need to commit to defending one gate and hoping survivors come to it.
•Use Your Ears: The gate opening sound is audible from a moderate distance. If you hear it start, sprint toward that gate. Catching a survivor mid-channel on the gate switch can lead to a down and hook.
•Slug if Necessary: "Slugging" (downing a survivor and leaving them on the ground instead of hooking them) can be useful in endgame. If you down someone near an open gate but other survivors are nearby, leaving the downed person creates a situation where someone must come heal them, potentially giving you a second down.
•Do Not Give Up: Even if all generators are done and a gate is open, you can still get kills. Survivors often make mistakes during endgame because they feel safe. Overconfident survivors who come back into the map to taunt or rescue are easy targets. Stay calm, patrol efficiently, and punish mistakes.
•Hatch Awareness: If three survivors escape or are sacrificed and one remains, the hatch spawns. If you find it first, close it to force the last survivor to an exit gate, then patrol the gates. The hatch audio cue is distinct so listen carefully as you patrol.

The 10 Most Common Beginner Mistakes (And How To Fix Them)

Every new Forsaken player makes these mistakes. The faster you recognize and fix them, the faster your win rate climbs. These are listed in order of how much they cost you per match.

Survivor Mistakes

These five mistakes account for the majority of beginner survivor deaths. Fixing even two or three of them will immediately improve your escape rate.

•Mistake 1: Sprinting Everywhere. Sprinting leaves scratch marks that show the killer exactly where you are and where you went. It also drains your stamina, leaving you exhausted when a chase actually starts. Fix: Walk between generators. Sprint only during chases or immediate danger. This single change will improve your survival rate more than anything else.
•Mistake 2: Pre-Dropping Every Pallet. New players see a pallet, panic, and drop it immediately without looping. This wastes the pallet (a finite resource) and gives the killer minimal time loss. Fix: Run around the pallet tile at least once or twice before dropping. The pallet is more valuable as a loop tool than as a one-time barrier. You gain 10-20 extra seconds from looping versus 2-3 seconds from a pre-drop.
•Mistake 3: Hiding Instead of Doing Objectives. Crouching in a corner while the killer is on the other side of the map accomplishes nothing. You are not in danger, and you are not contributing to generator progress. Fix: If the killer is not near you, be on a generator. If you cannot hear the heartbeat, you should be repairing. The killer can only chase one person at a time; the other three should be productive.
•Mistake 4: Rushing Every Hook Rescue. Not every hook needs an immediate rescue. If the killer is standing near the hook, running in for the save often results in a trade (you get hooked instead) or a double-down (both of you go down). Fix: Assess first. Is the killer near the hook? Is someone else going? Is the hooked person in Stage 1 (you have 60 seconds)? Only commit to a rescue when the timing and positioning are right.
•Mistake 5: Not Looking Behind You. Survivors have a third-person camera that lets them look behind while running forward. New players stare straight ahead and never see the killer until they are already being hit. Fix: During chase, rotate your camera to watch the killer behind you. This lets you see which side of a pallet or window the killer is approaching from, enabling tighter loops and better decisions.

Killer Mistakes

These five mistakes are why new killers feel powerless even though they are technically the stronger role. Fixing them transforms the killer experience.

•Mistake 6: Chasing One Survivor For Too Long. If a chase exceeds 30 seconds without a hit, you are almost certainly losing the match. Three other survivors are doing generators. Fix: After 20-25 seconds of a fruitless chase against a strong survivor, leave. Find someone else. Weaker survivors and survivors on generators are easier targets.
•Mistake 7: Camping Every Hook. Standing at the hook watching the survivor hang wastes your time. The three free survivors will repair 2-3 generators while you stand there doing nothing. Fix: Hook and leave. Go to generators. Apply map pressure. Come back to the hook area later if you think a rescue is happening.
•Mistake 8: Swinging Too Early. The most common new killer mistake in chase is swinging when the survivor is just barely out of range. The whiff recovery (about 2 seconds of standing still) lets the survivor sprint away. Fix: Be patient. Do not swing until you are CERTAIN the hit will connect. One missed swing can cost you an entire chase because the survivor reaches a safe tile during your recovery.
•Mistake 9: Ignoring Generators. Getting tunnel vision on chases while generators pop around the map is a death sentence for killers. Fix: After every hook, check the nearest generators. Kick any with progress. If you hear a generator being repaired, interrupt it. Keeping generators from being completed is just as important as hooking survivors.
•Mistake 10: Not Using Your Killer's Abilities. Many new killers rely entirely on basic attacks (M1) and ignore their special abilities. Every killer in Forsaken has abilities designed to give them advantages that basic attacks cannot. Fix: Spend time in custom matches practicing your killer's abilities. Read the ability descriptions. Check the detailed killer guides on our /forsaken-killers page. Your abilities are the difference between being a slow survivor-with-a-weapon and being a terrifying force of nature.

First Survivor Build

Focus on perks that help you find and complete objectives. Run any perk that reveals generator locations, any perk that speeds up repair, any perk that helps you see the killer, and any exhaustion perk for chase escapes. Keep it simple until you learn the maps.

First Killer Build

Run perks that help you find survivors and slow the game down. Any tracking perk (shows survivor auras or scratch marks), any generator slowdown perk, and any chase perk that helps you end loops faster. Focus on information and pressure.

Best Beginner Survivor: Noob

Noob is the most accessible survivor for new players with forgiving gameplay and straightforward abilities. Master the basics with Noob before branching out to Elliot, Chance, or Shedletsky for more specialized playstyles.

Best Beginner Killer: Jason/Slasher

Jason/Slasher is the most straightforward killer with simple but effective chase abilities. You learn core killer fundamentals (pathing, pressure, hook management) without needing to master complex ability rotations. Graduate to 1x1x1x1 or John Doe when ready.

Essential Keybind: Look Behind

Rebind your camera rotation to something comfortable. You need to look behind you constantly during chases. Survivors who watch the killer make better pallet and window decisions. This single habit separates beginners from intermediate players.

Learn One Map at a Time

Do not try to memorize every map simultaneously. Pick the map you play most often (usually Forest or Crossroads) and learn every generator location, pallet, and window. Then expand. Our /forsaken-maps page has detailed layouts for each map.

Pro Tip

The single fastest way to improve at Forsaken is to play both sides. If you only play survivor, you will never understand why killers make certain decisions, which means you cannot predict them. If you only play killer, you will never understand optimal survivor pathing, which means you cannot counter it. Dedicate at least 30% of your play time to the opposite role. Survivor mains who play killer become dramatically better at reading the killer's behavior in chase. Killer mains who play survivor learn exactly which tiles are strong and which are weak, making their pathing in chase significantly better.

What To Do After Your First 10 Matches

After your first 10 matches, you should have a basic understanding of the flow of a Forsaken match. Now it is time to start building specific skills and knowledge. Here is your progression roadmap.

Your First Week Progression Plan

Follow this structured plan to build competence efficiently rather than wandering aimlessly through matches without improving.

•Matches 1-10: Focus purely on understanding the game flow. Repair generators, get chased, get hooked, die, repeat. Do not worry about winning. Pay attention to what happens and why. By match 10, you should understand the basic rhythm of a match.
•Matches 11-20: Focus on one mechanic: pallet looping. Every time you are chased, try to run at least one full loop around a pallet tile before dropping it. You will get hit sometimes. That is fine. You are building the muscle memory for the most important chase skill in the game.
•Matches 21-30: Focus on generator awareness. At the start of each match, actively look for generators and plan a repair order. Try to avoid three-gen situations by completing central generators first. Start paying attention to which generators your teammates are working on.
•Matches 31-50: Start experimenting with different survivors and killers. Try each killer at least 2-3 times to understand their abilities. This knowledge directly improves your survivor play because you will know what each killer can and cannot do. Read our /forsaken-killers guides before trying a new killer.
•After 50 Matches: You are no longer a beginner. You understand the game flow, you can loop basic tiles, you manage generators, and you have tried multiple characters. Now start diving into advanced guides: our looping guide, our map-specific guides on /forsaken-maps, our killer and survivor tier lists, and our endgame strategy content. Pick up some Forsaken gear from our /merch page to show off your dedication.
•Ongoing Growth: Forsaken updates regularly with new killers, balance changes, maps, and events. Stay current by checking our site for the latest guides and analysis. The meta shifts, and players who adapt fastest climb the fastest.

Do not spend real money on killers or cosmetics until you have played at least 20-30 matches and know you enjoy the game. Forsaken is free to play, and the default characters and perks are more than enough to learn the game. Once you know which killer or survivor clicks with your playstyle, then consider investing. Buying a killer you have never played and taking them into a ranked match is a recipe for frustration.

Final Thoughts

Forsaken is one of the most rewarding games on Roblox because its depth reveals itself gradually. Your first match will be terrifying and confusing. Your tenth match will start making sense. Your fiftieth match will feel strategic and intentional. And your hundredth match will have you reading the killer's movements, coordinating rescues mid-chase, and 99-ing exit gates like a veteran. The key is patience, deliberate practice, and a willingness to play both sides. Do not get discouraged by early deaths. Every experienced player was a scared Noob hiding in a corner once. The difference is they kept playing, kept learning, and kept pushing past the early frustration. Welcome to Forsaken. The Entity is watching.

• Forsaken is a 4v1 asymmetric horror game: 4 survivors repair 5 generators and escape while 1 killer hunts, downs, and hooks them
• Walk between generators, never sprint. Sprinting wastes stamina and leaves scratch marks that reveal your position to the killer
• Loop pallet tiles before dropping pallets. A looped pallet wastes 15-20 seconds of killer time versus 2-3 seconds for a pre-drop
• As killer, hook and leave. Camping sacrifices map pressure. Use the 60-second hook timer to chase someone else and kick generators
• Look behind you during chases using the third-person camera. This single habit is the most impactful skill for beginner survivors
• Play both sides. Survivor mains who play killer improve their prediction skills, and killer mains who play survivor learn optimal tile usage
• Focus on one improvement per match rather than trying to do everything perfectly. Targeted practice beats random repetition
• After 50 matches, graduate to advanced content on /forsaken-killers, /forsaken-survivors, and /forsaken-maps for character-specific and map-specific strategies

Load into your first match right now. Pick Noob as your survivor, walk to the nearest generator, and start repairing. When the killer finds you, run to the nearest pallet and loop it. When you get hooked, pay attention to what your teammates do. When you die (and you will), queue into the next match immediately. The only way to learn Forsaken is to play it, and every single match teaches you something new. See you in the fog.
