How to Lag Switch in DBD

[JellyBelly1809]

I see a lot of questions on how to use a lag switch in DBD so I want to show you how to use it properly.(sorry for my bad english)

The basics:
If you activate the lag switch while walking or sprinting in a direction you will keep walking or sprinting in the server perspective.
So you can use that in a chase while running away from the killer. But when you deactivate the lag switch you will get teleported back
where you activated the lag switch. To prevent this from happening you have to interact with something like:
A chest, a gen, a window, a pallet, a locker, the exit gate, an item that is laying on the ground or unhook someone
and you will be teleported to the position of the object.

More advanced strategies:
If the killer downed you, you have 2 options, you can lag switch him on the ground, so he can't pick you up
or the better method, you can lag switch while you wiggle so, he can't hook you. Every time he tries to hook you
he will get stuck for 1-10 seconds. When he isn't stuck any more he will probably try to hook you again.
But you have to lag switch shortly before he tries to hook you so you have enough time to do the next step:
Deactivating the lag switch in the right moment. The right moment is after he was stuck.
So you have to deactivate when he isn't in the hook animation and you will be free.
(Recently something has been changed so the killer doesn't glitch away from the hook anymore, so the trick is more difficult)

Some PRO strategies:
If you lag switch while you are working on a gen and the killer tries to grab you, he will be stuck.
You can even lag switch and let go of the gen before he grabs you, so you can run around and teleport somewhere.
The killer will, as long as you lag switch, be stuck.

You can even teleport on top of something like on top of the Hawkins National Laboratory.
If your previous position (where you lag switched) is higher than the position where you want to teleport you will keep your height.
If you ever wanted to flee without doing a gen or using the hatch in like 30 seconds this is your way to go.
Just teleport on top of the Hawkins National Laboratory.
To do that you just need to go upstairs and teleport downstairs and you will land on top of the map.

Infinite Unbreakable:
If you lag switch shortly before you pick up yourself and stop pressing M1 you will pick yourself up without consuming Unbreakable.

Did you ever want to block a window as a survivor?
Now you can, just shortly after you pressed the vault button you just have to lag switch.
(In the most situations this is useless because you get teleported back but it's funny)
The same technique works on lockers.

If you lag switched shortly after you left a locker with Head On the killer will be stunned 2 times.

Did you still lose with all these PRO tips? Then there's still one option left.
Lag Switch just before the endgame timer run's out and the killer will be stuck in the game with you.

You even can be invincible with Dead Hard.
You have to Dead Hard and instantly activate the lag switch.
When the killer tries to hit you nothing will happen.

If you want to stay a little bit longer in the game when the exits are open and the killer is coming
you just have to run in the direction of the exit and lag switch.
In the view of the killer you have already fled.

Tell me more about infinite Unbreakable. So i hold LMB, wait till 95% push turn lagswitch and immediately release LMB OR i wait couple of seconds after i turned lagswitch, release LMB, turn lag switch off?

You have to do it on the first pick up too.
You recover normal till like 90% and lag switch and stop pressing M1.

Not working Infinite Unbreakable

Not working Infinite Unbreakable

It does work!
On the first pick up you have to do it too.
You recover 90% then you lag switch and let go of M1 and wait until you picked yourself up.
Then you do the same thing on the second time.

[oyasumiasap]

I did everything you told me to, but I couldn't.

You forgot to mention that you can't teleport anywhere, you have range limit (don't know exactly).
Maybe there is a bypass I don't know of.

I don't think a range limit exists.
I was able to teleport from one end of the map to the other it just doesn't always work.

Most of our Netbalancer Trials ran out D:

its not working. can you elaborate on how to do it

What is the point of this? Ruin the game for the killer? We all hack our bloodpoints, legacy, shards, auric cells, perks and items/addons. but lagswitching is by far the most pathetic thing a person could ever do in a simple game like DBD along with speed hack and wall hack.

The killer quits after he suspected one person in team is lag switching, fucking hell...I queued for 15 minutes. I also quit as a killer if I suspected someone that is using lag switch...fucking hell again...I queued for 30 minutes as a killer. This only ruin the game and its already low playerbase.

I Agree, playing against lag switchers is painful and ruins the enjoyment.

I agree with most of this. I don't lagswitch unless the killer is playing like a bitch (slugging, tunneling, camping, etc.) or if they're playing doctor, freddy, or spirit.

If you play like a bitch, I play like a bitch. It's my counter to pussy killers.
