How to Loop Killers in Forsaken: Pro Juking Techniques That Always Work
Learn professional looping techniques in Forsaken Roblox. Master window vaults, pallet timing, and 360 jukes to survive longer against any killer.
Looping is the difference between 10-second chases and 5-minute chases in Forsaken. The ability to loop killers effectively separates players who escape consistently from those who die first every match. This guide covers essential looping fundamentals, advanced techniques, and map-specific strategies that will transform you into an unkillable survivor. Master these skills and watch killers abandon chase in frustration as you waste their entire match.

Loop Fundamentals: Understanding Loop Types
Before mastering advanced techniques, you must understand the different categories of loops in Forsaken. Each type requires different strategies and timing to maximize effectiveness.
Safe Pallets
Pallets where the killer cannot mindgame you and must break the pallet or lose the chase:
- •Definition: Pallet locations where the killer cannot see you during the loop, preventing mindgames
- •Strategy: Force the killer to either break the pallet (wasting 2.6 seconds) or commit to one side
- •When to Drop: Drop these pallets early when the killer gets close - you're guaranteed safety
- •Time Saved: Each safe pallet can waste 30-45 seconds before being dropped
- •Examples: Long wall pallets, shack pallet, main building pallets
- •Tip: Safe pallets are your team's lifeline - preserve them as long as possible
Unsafe Pallets
Pallets where the killer can see and mindgame you:
- •Definition: Short loops where killer can see your movements and predict which direction you'll go
- •Strategy: Use double-backs, fake directions, and reads on killer movement to extend the loop
- •When to Drop: Only drop when the killer commits to respecting the pallet and you can stun them
- •Risk vs Reward: Greedy play can waste 20-30 seconds, but one mistake ends the loop instantly
- •Examples: Short wall pallets, open loops in the middle of maps
- •Mind Games: Watch the red stain - if it disappears, the killer is hiding their direction
God Pallets
Extremely strong pallets that must be broken with no counterplay:
- •Definition: Pallets so strong that killers have zero counterplay and must break immediately
- •Strategy: Chain these into other loops, forcing the killer to break and giving you distance
- •Preservation: Never drop god pallets unless absolutely necessary - they win games
- •Time Value: Can waste 60+ seconds when combined with window vaults
- •Map Spawns: Every map has 1-2 god pallet spawns (not always guaranteed)
- •Examples: Killer shack pallet, main building god pallets on Asylum and School
- •Endgame Value: These pallets can secure escapes during endgame situations
Jungle Gyms and L-T Walls
Standard tile loops that combine windows and pallets:
- •Structure: L-shaped or T-shaped walls with one window and one pallet spawn
- •Basic Loop: Vault window, run around wall, force killer to make a decision
- •Window Block: After 3 vaults in 20 seconds, entity blocks window for 30 seconds
- •Pallet Integration: Once window is blocked, use pallet to continue the loop
- •Mindgame Potential: Medium - killer can fake directions but you have options
- •Chain Looping: Connect to nearby loops when this one becomes too dangerous
Main Building Loops
Map-specific strong structures unique to each map:
- •Map Dependent: Each map has a main building with unique loop properties
- •Learning Required: Must practice each main building individually to master
- •High Value: Main buildings typically have god windows or god pallets
- •Examples: Asylum cafeteria window, School library, Hospital surgery room
- •Generator Protection: Main buildings often have generators inside
- •Pro Strategy: Learn main building first when loading into new maps
Pro Tip
The killer's red stain (the red directional light) shows exactly where they're looking through walls. Advanced survivors watch the red stain more than the killer themselves - it reveals their next move and allows you to counter their mindgames before they happen. Practice looking behind you constantly using Q and E camera controls.
Essential Looping Techniques
These fundamental techniques form the foundation of all successful looping. Master these before moving to advanced strategies.
1. Tight Hugging (Most Important Fundamental)
Running as close to walls and objects as physically possible:
- •Why It Works: Tighter pathing creates smaller loop circumference, meaning more loop rotations before killer catches up
- •Time Saved: Saves 1-2 seconds per full loop rotation, adding up to 30-40 extra seconds per chase
- •Execution: Position your character model touching the wall/object while maintaining full sprint speed
- •Killer Counterplay: Prevents killers from cutting corners or lunging across loops to hit you
- •Practice Method: Load into killer shack and practice running perfect circles touching every wall
- •Camera Control: Use Q/E to look behind while maintaining tight pathing with movement keys
- •Common Mistake: Running too far from walls gives killer opportunities to cut you off
2. The Double-Back (Primary Mind Game)
Running one direction then immediately reversing to confuse the killer:
- •When to Use: Most effective at corners where you break line of sight for 1-2 seconds
- •Execution: Run toward a corner, the moment you break LOS, immediately reverse direction
- •Killer Reaction: Killer commits to one side, you double back to the other side and gain distance
- •Success Rate: Works reliably 1-2 times per chase before observant killers start predicting it
- •Advanced Combo: Combine with fake scratch marks by walking after the double-back
- •Counter-Counter: If killer predicts your double-back, don't double-back (meta-game them)
- •Best Locations: Unsafe pallets with corners, jungle gym walls, main building doorways
3. Constant Camera Looking (Mandatory Skill)
Looking behind you during chases to track killer position and actions:
- •Controls: Q and E keys rotate camera left/right while maintaining forward movement
- •Why Critical: Seeing killer position tells you exactly when to drop pallets, vault windows, or double-back
- •Information Gained: Killer distance, red stain direction, if they're respecting pallet or swinging
- •Percentage: Professional survivors spend 70% of chase time looking backwards, 30% forward
- •Prevents Deaths: Seeing killer lunge animation gives you 0.3 seconds to react with Dead Hard or 360
- •Pallet Timing: Looking back lets you see exact killer distance for perfect pallet drops
- •Practice: Force yourself to look backwards constantly in custom games until it's muscle memory
4. Window Vault Management
Maximizing window usage before entity blocks:
- •Entity Block Rules: After 3 vaults within 20 seconds, window blocks for 30 seconds
- •Vault Counting: Mentally count your vaults to know when you have 1 vault remaining
- •Medium Vaults: Vaulting at an angle is slower - always vault straight-on for fast vaults
- •Resilience Perk: Increases vault speed by 9%, often resulting in avoiding hits
- •Chain Strategy: Use your 3 vaults, then transition to nearby pallet before window blocks
- •Reset Timing: If you leave the area for 20+ seconds, vault counter resets
- •God Windows: Some windows are so strong you can get 3 vaults and still escape safely
5. Pallet Looping Fundamentals
Optimal pallet usage and drop timing:
- •Greedy Looping: Loop the pallet multiple times before dropping to maximize value
- •Drop Timing: Drop when killer is close enough to lunge (about 6-8 meters)
- •Stun Fishing: If killer respects pallet, try to stun them for extra distance and points
- •Safe Drop Early: At safe pallets, drop early to guarantee safety rather than being greedy
- •Unsafe Pallet Mindgames: At unsafe pallets, fake the drop, double-back, or wait for killer commit
- •Post-Drop Strategy: After dropping, wait 0.5 seconds to see if killer breaks or mind-games
- •Never Camp: Don't stand at dropped pallet unless going for a stun - keep moving to next loop
Common Looping Mistakes
The most common mistake new survivors make is camping pallets instead of continuing to loop. Keep running the loop until the killer is close enough to hit you (6-8 meters), then drop the pallet. Dropping too early wastes the pallet's value, while dropping too late results in getting hit. Practice the timing in custom games until you can consistently get 2-3 loop rotations before dropping.
Advanced Looping Strategies
Once you've mastered the fundamentals, these advanced techniques will elevate your play:
Chain Looping
Connecting multiple loops together for extended chases:
- •Concept: Instead of using one loop until pallet drops, transition between multiple nearby loops
- •Execution: When a loop becomes dangerous (window blocked, pallet dropped), move to the next closest loop
- •Map Knowledge: Requires knowing where all loops are located on each map
- •Distance Management: Transition when you have enough distance (12+ meters from killer)
- •Examples: Loop jungle gym → transition to main building → transition to shack
- •Time Value: Chain looping can extend a single chase to 2-3 minutes, completing most generators
- •Practice: Walk around maps in custom games identifying all loops and their connections
The 360 Juke
Spinning in circles to dodge killer lunges:
- •When to Use: When caught in the open with no pallets or windows nearby
- •Execution: As killer lunges, quickly spin your camera and movement in a full circle
- •Success Rate: 65% against basic killers, 20% against experienced killers
- •Why It Works: Killer lunge has limited turning radius - a tight spin avoids the hitbox
- •Mouse vs Controller: Easier on mouse with high sensitivity for fast spins
- •Dead Hard Alternative: If you don't have Dead Hard equipped, 360 is your emergency dodge
- •Don't Overuse: Only works 1-2 times per match before killer adapts
Killer-Specific Counter-Looping
Adapting loops based on killer abilities:
- •Nurse: Don't loop normally - break line of sight and hide, her blinks ignore loops
- •Hillbilly: Avoid long straight paths where he can chainsaw, use tight corners
- •Wraith: Listen for his bell uncloak sound (3 seconds), get distance before he speeds up
- •Trapper: Check all loops for traps before committing, memorize trap locations
- •Freddy: Pay attention to dream state snares, avoid looping in snared areas
- •Huntress: Loop at tall-wall loops, avoid low-wall loops where she can hatchet over
- •Basic M1 Killers: Standard looping works perfectly, use all techniques
Final Thoughts
Looping is the most important survivor skill in Forsaken. Your goal isn't to escape every chase - it's to waste enough time for your team to complete generators. A good survivor can turn a 10-second chase into a 2-minute chase, allowing their team to finish 2-3 generators. Start by mastering tight hugging and camera control, then progress to double-backs and chain looping. Practice these techniques in custom games for 10-15 minutes daily, and you'll see dramatic improvement in your escape rate within a week.
