The stealthy girl counselor, I forgot her name, some dude last night was talking about how she couldn't be sensed if she's crouched. I don't think that's true. I'm sure he is questioning it as well, as he was the last person left and I ported right in front of him as he crouched in the woods. He was loudly questioning his understanding of the game and calling me a hacker as I crushed his loving head. Next game I left his rear end on the side of the road as I took off in a car, gently caress him.

I know there's a perk that gives a percentage to hide sense when crouched, but it's not innate. Sounds like a douche either way. Good going, killing him!

I don't like sneaking anymore because there is too much reliance on unknown factors. Like if Jason sensing, did that perk proc for you, will your char squel like a pig at the sight of jason (even with high compsure,) etc. That is why Adam is God Tier because he can repair, run sort of, fight, and not go black and white due dead only until he spent a couple minutes man moding Jason. Stack on 48% damage reduction, medic perk, fire crackers and pocket knives, and a wrench Adam is set to waste 5 - 8 minutes of Jason time.

I think the devs need to immediately think about making a new animation for when Jason is stunned. Jesus how could you think just having him stand still looked ok, it's like the most distracting half-finished thing in the game, at least have him take a knee.

I want to be a good player PC players will swear blind the parts will all spawn in the cabins closest to the vehicle your trying to escape in. I've found it to be completely random on the Xbox. But starting close to the vehicles is advisable... But be warned any good Jason will try and scout those areas first. The escapes are: Police Boat Car Waiting the night out and killing Jason But good luck with that last one.

There's no perks that let you start with a pocket knife is there? I feel like that should be a thing or maybe have a perk that gives you a random pocket item (keys/first aid/pocket knife/firecrackers) at the start of the match. It would negate those times where Jason morphs instantly next to you and grabs your rear end at the very beginning of the match. I've seen this happen or had it happen many times and being that we all mostly play in a group they just have to sit it out and that poo poo sucks.

He successfully drove the car through the winds, between trees and poo poo, until he was able to get us away from jason. Then Jason morphed in front of us so he reversed it almost the entire length of the map without breaking the car. Was pretty sweet.

Is it just the goofy face or is there something about him I'm missing. Chad is basically the stand-in of every character in horror movies you love to hate. His stats and perks make him perfect for doing poo poo like those characters he epitomizes: running away, leaving others to die, screaming in pants-pissing terror over every little thing, and his stats actually penalize you for doing something helpful like fixing things or defending other campers, while rewarding you for lone-wolfing or leaving people behind. To play as Chad is to either get away by being as much of a dick as possible, or by being as much of a dick as possible and dying very easily because of it. Chad is the funniest, most fun to play, win or lose, because he's the most Chad character.

Oh, and for the infinite stamina glitch: - Have a Melee weapon (any will do I think) and go into combat stance (C). - Hold sprint (Shift) and don't let go. - Press crouch (Ctrl) to duck. You'll blaze around the map at your sprinting speed (Maybe a little slower?) while crouched down as long as you keep the sprint key held, it looks hilarious as well. The only way for Jason to get you is a perfect Shift Grab.

I've been Jason about two dozen times over the weekend in a mix of Goon and Pubbie games, never failed to kill at least 5 counselors and have often gotten everyone, and based on my particular playstyle, these are things I've found to be true-ish (your mileage may vary!). Composerguy's Jason Tips: - Ignore Vanessa. Vanessa's entire purpose is to try and get you to chase her instead of everyone else. She has poo poo stealth, poo poo strength and can't fix anything without loving it up at least 2-3 times, which gives you plenty of time to morph over when you hear her inevitably loving up. Vanessa can't do anything on her own except juke you effectively, especially in the early-game, so she should be your lowest priority target. She's relying on everyone else to fix things she can get away in. Only go after her if: 1. You know for a fact you can off her very quickly, like, within 10 seconds quickly (catching her fixing the phone or a car for example) or 2. She's the last or one of the last counselors on the map late match. Her composure and stealth are terrible, so by mid-match she will light up like a christmas tree on your sense from half a map away. - Similar, but more situational, you should largely ignore Bugsy in the early-going. Especially a Bugsy who is on his own. He will outrun you and his strength can be a real problem if he's got a baseball bat and decent aim. I've seen many Jasons get tunnel vision chasing down a lone Bugsy and regret it (I was one of those Bugsies. Juked Jason for a solid 6 minutes before he gave up and by then half the counselors had gotten away). Get his fear built up, *then* deal with him. - Absolutely take out high stealth, high composure and high repair counselors as priority targets. All other things being equal, if you've got a group of 3-4 counselors around, you should prioritize AJ, LaChappa and Debbie. They have the best repair skills, and AJ in particular can ghost on you real quick and thus become a pain in the rear end to find later on. - Your first couple of morphs actually make more of a difference than you might think. You need to be hitting power boxes and trapping phones/cars/boat docks in the opening minute. For most Jasons, morph is on a 20 second cooldown. In those 20 seconds you should be able to trap a spot or break a power box and even take a moment to break open a few doors (I tend to break the doors on cabins near cars and the phone to make it easier later on). - You are not a direct threat until Shift unlocks a few minutes into the game and you shouldn't try to be unless you get a perfect situation. Ignore counselors who show up where you morph in favor of going about the business of making their lives harder via cutting power and trapping objectives. They can all outrun you at this stage pretty well, and you'll waste sometimes minutes at a time going after them only for you to miss another group of counselors escaping due to your lax defense. - Be vigilant about checking your map every so often. The only hint you'll often get that the boat is escaping is seeing it moving on the map. That's the trade-off with the boat for the counselors: If Jason doesn't know about it, you're home free, but if he does, you are 100 percent dead. The car has no such drawback if you can drive skillfully enough. - Got a group of counselors swarming the 4-seater with all kinds of weapons and you're having a hard time not getting stunned/knocked down to keep them from getting in? Morph out and let them have it. Choose a spot where they'll have to drive and wait them out. Counselors inside a car are *zero* threat because they can't fire their weapons at you and it takes them a few seconds to emerge from the vehicle. So you can smash the car and usually kill one of them before the others have time to stun you. - Don't forget about Stalk. It's very, very useful for confusing people about your location. - Because I've seen some Jasons have trouble with this: Rage is context-sensitive. You'll be prompted to hit "e" or "action" at doors and walls. It can be hard to see the door one unless you're looking, but its there. Don't wast time axing down doors if you can just walk right through them. - There's a bit of a back and forth right now on whether grab kills or just hacking away is the most efficient method of death. People who mostly hack are afraid of pocket knives and being stunned...but I think it depends on the situation. A map spawns maybe 4-5 knives per game and yeah it sucks to get stabbed, but going toe-to-toe with the stronger counselors can get you stunned just as fast. Even a LaChappa can get a stun hit off with a baseball bat and you are functionally invincible during kill animations if you trigger them fast enough. I only go for hack kills if I'm particularly annoyed by someone. In general, building fear is the key against counselors who know what they're doing. Higher fear means short time to kill animations, easier detection via sense, and cripples the counselors by narrowing their vision and making them stumble more often. As Jason, you're playing for the long game most of the time because the longer a match runs, the more the odds are shifted in your favor. EDIT: WoodrowSkillson posted:the only linked items i have seen are that the boat propeller seems to spawn closer to the boat than away from it, and the fuse tends to be near the building the phone is in. Not sure about this. I had a game where the propeller spawned in the garage literally on the opposite side of the map from the boat dock.

Chad is great, you have to rely on intelligence and ruthless calculation, because you're hosed if you rely on anything else besides your extremely fashionable cardigan and practical boat shoes. Also each Chad becomes stronger with every other Chad in the group. You kill one chad, the other chads become that much stronger, sort of like Jet Li's "The One"

moms friend from work posted:Besides, the real counselor MVP is Jenny. Cool as a cucumber while all the Vanessa players are getting target locked by Jason. I'm finally starting to come around on Vanessa mostly after several spectacular escapes. Including one where I was the sole survivor thanks to stealing some one else's boat. I do adore how this game works though. Twice I was off loving around doing my own thing on one part of the map being a piece of poo poo who didn't socialize or find a walkie, exploring the upper north and west side respectively, and never once did I see Jason except as a red light under water the first time after I escaped. Both times I learn that my relatively peaceful and easy game was utter hell for others as they were all fighting Jason the entire goddamn time, and in the case of the first group, were all murdered by him except for one dude. A whole other game happened while I was loving around and it's brilliant. Alien invaders could have shown up and I never would have known.

One thing I've found to be of particular use is the two hack grab. If you are dealing with a particularly troublesome councilor, or otherwise just want to ensure a kill against someone, I find it is useful to give them a few quick whacks, either with the throwing knives or the primary weapon. On top of being thematically awesome, injuring the councillor ramps up their fear and, if you injure them enough, slows them to a crawl. If you have been chasing a councillor until their stamina runs out, it is almost always beneficial to hit them a few times before going for the grab kill. Even if they have a pocket knife, they aren't going anywhere fast, meaning you often don't even have to shift to close the distance again. If they have a pocket knife and first aid spray, then the likely use up most of their stun time spraying themselves, meaning you can catch them again in short order. If you catch someone early on by all means grab and decapitate them immediately. If you catch them late in the game it is often in your best interest to soften them up even if you are going for the grab.

If chubs is waiting by the car it's Chad's duty to tell him Jason is coming and to go hide until the coast is clear, then steal the car so Chubs runs back when it's starting and is left standing there as easy pickings when you drive away and Jason teleports in.

I've had occasions where the fuse is in the same cabin with the phone, and times where the fuse spawns on the other side of the map in a lovely one-room cabin in a corner. I'm convinced the items spawn randomly. Has anyone here had good runs with "Chubs" Eric? Aside from somehow avoiding Jason on an island, most of my games with him end with him dying early and messily, or being carried by more capable players to an escape, often with them dying for their trouble. His low speed and stamina poo poo all over his repair potential; it's usually faster to just pass off that battery to Chad to make the trip across the map and jam it in himself. My hypothetical strategy of "use stealth to hermit it up in the lodge and pop out to repair the car/phone" to get around his lovely agility is a crapshoot; it's heavily dependant on teammates doing the footwork for you, and there is very little feedback on whether you are successfully hiding from Jason or not. Also there's the fact that while you're holed up in a closet you're not really contributing to the group. He makes for a great joke/challenge character at least.

I'm convinced the items spawn randomly. Ol' chubs is great early game if you manage to get repair parts. Jason is at his weakest and so your stealth still matters. He'll repair things in two clicks. In the right situation, he can be in a boat or car and out of there inside of 3 minutes without Jason ever being aware something was going on. By mid-game, though, his usefulness starts to dive off a cliff. Although I will say in the right hands you can get a glorious 8-minute juke-fest.

You generally find car parts in the small cabins with cots and a half room in the back or the barn. Watching some Jason's, you really should press E when turning off generators and radios.

Only inferior Chubs players would fall for this ruse. Mostly because that would involve running away unless you absolutely had to. ChickenHeart posted:I've had occasions where the fuse is in the same cabin with the phone, and times where the fuse spawns on the other side of the map in a lovely one-room cabin in a corner. I'm convinced the items spawn randomly. You ask the wrong question. You're asking how to legit play Chubs McKenzie in the game, the way you're supposed to. You do not do this by being productive, or beneficial. No the true way to Chub through a game is to suckle the teet of the other players and latch on tight. Never let go. You are a scared fat man, you cannot run and Jason knows this. Jason will always prioritize others above you. This is why you leech on their superior physiques and ride their coattails to victory. Once in a while you do some one a favor, you fix something because you're vaguely faster than they are at it, but only so much, and also you're still going to gently caress it up some how aren't you Chubs. Then you plant your fat rear end in that car and you don't do nothing else. Passenger or back seat only, Chubs don't have no drivers license, his mom drives him where he needs to go. If the others are lucky Jason will grab you from the car, taking longer than usual due to your impressive heft, and they'll be able to stun him, inadvertently letting you go and letting you back in the car. And then you witness your friends who have fought so hard for that car get run over by that very car, while you cower in the back seat, vision all but gone.
