Carnival Hunt Proximity Voice Guide
Master Carnival Hunt proximity voice chat: short landmark callouts, when to mute, how Monsters eavesdrop, and squad Discord hygiene for 5v1 Early Access pubs.
How Proximity Voice Changes the Hunt
Carnival Hunt uses positional voice: teammates nearby hear you, and the Monster can too. Loud mid-chase debates are free information—floor, intention, and sometimes exact attraction names.
That design is intentional. Silent winding and short pings beat continuous open-mic coaching. Pair this page with controls so push-to-talk is bound before your first pub.
DBD stacks that live on external Discord during trials will overshare here. Read vs Dead by Daylight if your squad is migrating habits.
Bunny Callout Discipline
Standardize three to five landmarks from the map guide—Carousel Plaza, Jack Alley, Mirror West, Gate North—then stop inventing new names mid-match.
Good call: “Magician Mirror West, wind hold.” Bad call: a thirty-second lecture while keys click beside a cage. If the Monster is close, mute and ping.
Play Dead setups need silence. Whispered jokes next to prop piles ruin the feint—see Play Dead.
Monster Listening Tips
Magician and Sisters players should treat voice as a sixth sense: follow sudden “I'm winding” spikes toward audio, then confirm with Eyeball or trap lines.
Do not announce your own plan on proximity if Bunnies might be downed nearby—they can still hear. Save coaching for post-match Discord.
When lobbies hard-counter Magician, flex Sisters and listen for rescue debates around cages—that is your regrab timer.
Squad Stack Hygiene
Use Discord for loadout planning and patch-note reading; keep in-match voice on push-to-talk inside the carnival. Pin this wiki's beginner mistakes link instead of typing essays in chat.
One designated caller reduces crosstalk. Rotate the role if that player dies—dead mics still need discipline if the body is being inspected.
Backers who pledged Kickstarter / Crytivo Store tiers on makeup emails can coordinate redemption offline—don't discuss code strings on public proximity or stream overlays; see backer codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Monster hear Discord?
Only if you also broadcast into the game or leave speakers open. In-game proximity is what the design balances around.
Should solos use voice?
Yes for quick pings when teammates talk; otherwise mute noise and play sound-first.
Is text chat enough?
Text works, but wind-up tempo is fast—short voice pings win more floors when used carefully.
