In my experience so far though you have very little ability to actually run from the cabin; as soon as he's outside he can pretty easily chase you down if you go out a window.

It just takes practice really. Sometimes a jason will snag you early, but if you have say... a flaregun, a pocket knife and some fireworks you can keep jason basically non-functional for the better part of five to ten minutes.

The trick is to learn the types of cabins. If it is a small cabin with 1 or 2 windows on the front or side, you need a flaregun, fireworks or a beartrap to survive it. If it is a larger cabin you basically just need to take a side or rear window out while jason is messing with you. Always know where your next destination is after you leave a cabin, and if he is on your rear end then that is one of the few times you should actually be sprinting. Ducking out a window and running to a new cabin is generally a near perfect save, especially if you make sure he walks into the cabin before you bail.

Each time you jump into a cabin and start the 'where am I going' game over, that buys you 30ish seconds and refills your stamina. And you can just keep doing it over and over so long as you have supplies to cover you if you have to duck into a small cabin.

That said, you will probably die doing this. Most Jason's will get tunnel vision once a councillor frustrates them, which means that once you poke them in the eye, you can expect to die unless you can feed him off onto someone easier, or you can stun him long enough to actually juke him. But any escapees is a survivor win, so you are taking one for the team.

Unless you end up with a pubbie run. Just finished an 8/8 survivor kill where they didn't fix poo poo. Two people went up to mother's cabin and got poo poo on when I teleported on top of them and gutted them. Hilariously one of them was whining about Jason's instant kills, which is the stupidest poo poo ever since the alternative is hitting her generically with the spear three times. After that I cleaned up three more in the wilderness and then got stuck in a wall. Fun fact, the bug is still there. :(

Got knocked out of it, chased down Jarvis who whined about being instant killed again, then (sort of the point of this story) I got led around for a solid seven minutes chasing a single Chad. This was past the ten minute mark which meant I was rage moding through doors and he still managed to lead me on a chase using the tactics I described.

Edit: Hahah! The whiner was a youtuber.

Also, the biggest thing early game is to quickly assess where you are. If you're near a vehicle, it is highly likely that every thing you will need to repair it is in the cabins. If there are two or three counselors, split up quickly to get poo poo. Forget securing the place, just grab the parts and go.

Anyone know what is up with the mouse sensitivity? I've turned it all the way down but its still super sensitive. Also feels like there is acceleration even though it says its off...

Even using a controller that shift ability is still wonky. I have seen other players pull it off nicely and his ability to zero in on you like the movies is perfect. Was talking to some players who apparently figured out how to kill Jason and I have to give it to the designers for going the route they did with it.

I like the game but too many elements are unexplained. Does stealth help my ability to hide in tents/cabinets? Why should I hold my breath when hiding there? If I am afraid can I still be sensed inside a tent?

So I was playing as Tommy Jarvis, and I saw Jason trying to break down a door. Thinking I could save his potential victims I tried shooting at Jason and while the blast connected...it also killed a Counselor who was standing in front of him.

The status screen said he had been Betrayed and I lost 200 XP as a result. This game. :smith:

I'm pretty sure Jason can't jump through windows, making that one of the few advantages the counselors have over him.

Still unstable. You'd be best off trying to join private matches rather than joining random games.

Jasons:

When you're morphing, how do you stop? I always overshoot the target and mash every button to stop.

When you're holding someone, what do you press to perform a kill?

I am extremely bad at playing Jason.

I usually press the grab button or the attack button. And once you have someone in your meaty paws the controller face buttons show the kills. Or if you're near a contextual environmental kill you press A or whatever that is on the PC or PS4.

Things could be going better

I'm kind of coming off of a the more stealthy survivors because it doesn't seem like they have much to work with. It's nice to be able to crouch walk at 0.1mph through the forest, but you still light up cabins like Christmas trees when you are in them and you have very little escape capability.

In other news, my best moment last night was playing Jason and smashing the electrical box of a house that apparently had a working phone in it, because I heard a "oh you have to be making GBS threads me" come from inside right afterwards. They fixed it and got the call out, but it was hilarious.

Survivors need to make it a priority to fix power boxes. A few seconds in a lit house does more for your composure than anything else and it can shut down Jason's sense really well.

The Mortal Kombat X dlc formula has taught me that I will pay $15 every 3 months for extra murderers and means of murdering.

Jason, Alien, Predator, Leatherface, and horrifying bodily mutilation schadenfreude are the quickest way to get my wallet open.

Counterpoint: AJ can full on sprint and will not make any noise whatsoever unless she is running up a hill or some other kind of uneven terrain. Weaving from cabin to cabin keeps her fear low enough that she doesn't light up anything, and she's got the crucial few extra repair points that makes fixing cars and boxes doable quickly and without mistakes.

had a game wherein myself and 2 other Debbies + a Jenny were frantically getting all the car parts together, then a guy apparently has the keys but doesn't loving know how to start the car. Another Debbie starts screaming obscenities and wants to kill Dumb Debbie to get the keys. Slashes at me, a Debbie, by mistake, then engages in a knife fight with Dumb Debbie. As Mad Debbie and Dumb Debbie fight, I look up the road and see Jason ambling towards us LOL.

Also had a game where a Jason player was ENRAGED he couldn't get me due to my clever use of windows and shotguns as Tommy. Outlasted him for final 2 minutes and he was pissed.
