Visionary shows you the aura of generators that survivors may be on right before you swing the camera around and miss their get up animation 🙃
All I'm saying is it sounds like you're avoiding using any form of generator detection for yourself and instead blame everyone else for not coming to you and helping with your challenge.
Once you start a challenge like this you will probably only get teammates that do my favourite bullshit challenge: Hide within 10 meters of the killer for 120 seconds. ;)
If it took you more than 5 trials to do this challenge then that is a you problem. I got it done in 3. Very easy.
Any of the tedious grind challenges are worse e.g. cleanse 20 totems. The Dwight the brave challenge that required you to just follow the killer around like a fool to stay in their terror radius for like two minutes without being spotted. Sacrificing four survivors in the basement in a single match. The Plague one was ridiculous.
All this challenge needs is Bond. Find team mates on gens. Its simple.
As soon as I take off Iron Will I will face Samantha 3 trials in a row, because that's what's happened every time before (and WGLF is a comfort perk due to it's meaning to me).
I'll take co-op while solo over these two challenges.
Really hate the escaping through hatch with a specific item one - have to hope the randoms will just leave instead of teabagging the killer until time runs out, the killer doesn't close hatch first, that killer isn't running Franklin's and hit you before you can go through hatch, and that you have enough maps to try and complete the challenge. Many of the challenges they put out are definitely meant for 4swf not solo or even 2swf.
I got this in 3 matches at rank 10. I used Bond / Better together/ Prove thyself. I brought the offering where I start the trial w someone else. Sounds like bad luck.
There are so many things that make gens glow yellow nowadays that I definitely wouldn't assume someone was running Better Together; I'd definitely assume Blast Mine or Trail of Torment first.
You'll probably have better luck with Bond + Open Handed instead so you can find others on gens instead of having them come to you.
I feel your pain. This took me about 20 trials. I mean I didn't dedicated a build to it but I tried to go out of my way to work on gens with others but every time the survivor would stay for about 5 seconds then they left to unhook or work on another gen or the killer came over.
Hatch one is really going to be luck more than anything if you don't have 4swf. I was looking at my characters inventories and even though I go out of my way to get maps on bloodwebs (started going for those and flashlights after seeing them on tome challenges) on my p3 50 maxed out Zarina I have 25 maps total meanwhile I have 137 brown medkits. Like atleast if the challenge is escaping through hatch with a specific item have it be one that is a common item not rare or ultra rare.
I've actually got a friend who runs Better Together all the time and I usually avoid their yellow gen until we get near end game. Why? Because its more efficient for 2 Survivors to be on 2 separate gens. Beyond that, there's a very real chance that Better Together is screwing you because your solo queue teammates think the killer just kicked it with Trail of Torment and the killer is near there... so obviously they'd go look for any other Gen to work on and don't know how to tell the difference between Better and ToT.
It's not fair, that's for sure, especially since you have to risk Discordance which just ruins this challenge completely.
It is not the worst, though. All of the survivor challenges that require you to escape, for instance, are much worse than this one, because you have to do some bullshit and THEN escape. So are the sac four in the basement type challenges.

This doesn't seem that bad at all.
It'a something that will happen eventually on it's own. If you leave it as last it will eventually happen even if you don't activily try to do it
Can confirm. Got it first try back then.
This ones super easy though, run bond + better together + prove thyself 🤷♂️ I play solo almost exclusively and did this pretty quick
All of them except Bond and I have yet to have anyone but me complete a generator :)
Drop iron will for bond until you get the challenge done.

Samantha?

Godtier Spirit player, known as one of the best, genuinely has £2500+ headphones and is almost impossible to outplay. Very fun.
Okay yeah that Hatch challenge seems abysmal the one I'm complaining about may take 2nd seat when I try it.

Must just be having really ######### luck with teammates then :/
It seems really tame compared to other challenges. I think you're just stressed out, and that's fine, everyone does.
Solo queue isn't fun and I agree but don't feel hopeless. However the issue seems like it's solo queue, and not the challenge itself.
If you completed the challenge before I said all of this then whoopies.

They're all yellow ranks. I'm in red and have been rank 1 for ages. :)

You can do it man!
Oooouch 😂
Yeah it's bloody painful. A friend saw me ranting on Twitter and offered to help though so I have at least one reliable mate now
Nice 👍
You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.
Suggestion, switch Better Together with Bond.

It took 22+ trials.
Don't do gens yourself, only do gens that other people are doing. It may be sandbagging but that's the spirit of the Archives.
