If anything, I find the red rank survivors are the ones who are *really* good at loving with the auto-aim so sure hits repeatedly turn into nothing

So I'm not a particular fan of Stranger Things or anything but I do like Steve and I especially love his work uniform... but I was just in this match where this STEVE was blatantly more experienced than everyone else and he was constantly intervening on their behalf it's like STEVE

MIND YOUR BUSINESS :argh:

I finally

FINALLY downed him and hooked him in the basement

You hate to see it

I mean you HATE to see it, but he was too dangerous to let him live. The man was too good. I had to stay and make sure he didn't away. I became that guy. 2 out of 4 :negative:

STEEEEEEEEEVE :argh:

I guess to be fair, most of Steve's default perks do benefit playing super altruistic. Second Wind (I wanted to type that as Broken Wind) gives him an automatic heal off the hook if he's already healed someone else. Babysitter makes it so he can see your aura if he unhooks someone, and the unhooked person stops leaving scratches

Yes, though they made a recent effort to nerf it to death. Now you have far less time between hooking someone and Pop expiring

Also the perk Rancor, though that only lets you murder the Obsession once all gens are complete. For giggles, play Nurse, hide inside the gate the entire match and then strangle the Obsession when they open the doors

I don't really mind Midwich. Hawkins has about 8000 pallets and if I'm sent there I will hit all of them with my face

He's very good at stopping loops. Put down a trail in the middle of a pallet path, most survivors will chop off their own face before they step in it. If someone's going for an obvious window, aim the sword laser at it before they get there, if they don't change their mind it's a hit

Used to be you could get a lot of mileage out of starting up a sword laser and then canceling into an M1 hit if you didn't like what you were seeing, but they nerfed that. Although you now get punished a lot less for using your sword lasers in general, so feel free to go nuts with them

Oni and Deathslinger are about equally good in different ways (Oni plays like Billy had a child with Myers. Deathslinger is kind of like Huntress in that if you can aim well you can do insane things). Blight is awful but has amazing perks (good enough I expect them to be nerfed any day now)

The cheap way to play Legion is to get your first hit with Frenzy, keep tailing the person, cut them off with your speed so they're not heading for a pallet or anything. Cancel out of it, ride out the ensuing heart attack, finish the chase and down them

Made much easier if you're using the add-on to reduce heart attack duration

I'm on console with my DMs blocked. I will get friend requests with letters attached such as "CAMPING gently caress IMMA DDOS YOUR ROUTER gently caress YOU"

Helpful hint, if you don't want me to camp you, tell your friends to stop bombing the hook :v:

Hex: Undying is probably the strongest Killer perk in the game right now, so grab that. Also Corrupt Intervention, you basically need that to make any of the killers who require setup (Trapper/Hag/etc) functional without getting gen slammed to death

The trick to Blight is you probably don't want to even bother pinball bouncing in areas where there are a lot of corners to run into. That's when you M1. When people are trying to run through open areas from one pallet to the next, *that's* when you pinball and smack them

He's got one talent, he can cover ground faster than any survivor can hope to keep up. Just gotta get past all the fiddly and unfun and why is he like a foot tall

The real shitheads just park at the finish line once the gate is open and teabag nonstop, since they're aware they can't lose at that point and it's either acknowledge them by chasing them out or do nothing for two plus minutes while the timer runs out

And I finally got the six hit Blight challenge. By hook camping like an rear end in a top hat and patiently bounce whacking everyone who moved in, but y'know

Now for the other Blight challenge (hit someone after four bounces), which I will probably never get unless I land someone incredibly dense trying to open a gate with me next to it

No joke, stand in the open and spin in circles until somebody approaches you for a truce. Most survivor groups will switch to co-op mode and give you your challenge in exchange for hitting you with every pallet and escaping.

Ha, that kind of worked. They didn't exactly hold still, but eventually one of them decided I wasn't going to do anything but dance around like Michigan J. Frog and went to get treasure out of the basement. Got my four bounce whack while they were doing that

Surveillance marks every gen white that's currently regressing. It's very nice paired with Ruin, as you can just make a lap of the gens chasing people off of them and starting the regression automatically. Then if you see anything *not* white you know where people are

That "Safely unhook someone during Endgame Collapse" challenge is a surprising pain in the rear end. It requires

A) The team is competent enough that we get to Endgame Collapse

B) Once we get to Endgame Collapse, someone is actually stranded and the entire team isn't just parked at the gates teabagging

C) If someone is stranded that it isn't their final hook

D) The killer isn't running a Mori to bypass the whole idea of hooking people

There's like no agency to this challenge, it relies entirely on the other people playing

If you like Billy you'll probably like Oni, he's a similar game of dashing around the map for one hit kills. Big difference being he has to charge his dash up first via hitting people, but he also can't stun himself like Billy

The way Freddy works is that if he's in play, there are two map variations, Normal World and Dream World. Everyone starts in Normal World, a timer ticks down to send people to Dream World (or it happens instantly if Freddy hits a person). The more people are in Dream World, the faster Freddy's power meter fills to let him teleport. Also he doesn't set off terror heartbeats to dreamers (though the Freddy's Coming For You ditty plays when he's near, similar to Huntress)

People can wake themselves up by failing gen checks, finding scattered clocks on the map, or other players interacting with them for a bit, but the sleep timer never stops

Also keep in mind goddamn every survivor runs Spine Chill, which is a perk that lights up if a killer is nearby and looking at you, regardless of that neato stealth killer you're using. So the idea of being sneaky in general doesn't really work as it should

Pig is actually one of my favorites, but it's frustrating since she clearly needs to be buffed in some basic ways and never will be as one of the lead devs at BHVR is on record as saying "She kills a lot of people, she's fine" while ignoring the context of *who* she kills a lot (read: new players who don't know how to stop her traps)
