Second Otzdarva Law

If a survivor refuses to engage in normal gameplay when they get chased - immediately giving up, going down on purpose, acting friendly, or effectively not trying - then that survivor will almost always be running a build that is mostly or entirely focused on fast generator completion (aggressive gen-speed / gen-efficiency perks), rather than chase, info, self-sustain, or anti-tunnel tools.
Person 1: “That Meg just stood still when I chased her and let herself go down instantly.”
Player 2: “Check her perks-she’s running full generator-speed stacking, zero chase or survival tools, classic second Otzdarva law.”
