Tip for hiding: sometimes the best hiding spot is right in the same cabin as another counselor! If you're a high stealth counselor, you can wait until Jason busts in, let your buddy deal with him(i.e. get gruesomely murdered), while you just ride it out under a bed. Often Jason will either not realize you were in there in the first place, or assume you jumped out a window. They also tend to not double check the cabin with Sense before they leave to make sure they got everyone.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
So can someone tell me how to avoid the tele-grab? I swear I cannot figure it out and sometimes I just get absolutely screwed.

Also guys if you see a big radio antenna thing on a cabin it means inside is where you call tommy from. Call tommy damnit!

So a number of folks have asked for a full run of my singing Jason gimmick, I went ahead and did it yesterday and got lucky enough to have some Twitch streamstar on there as well reacting to it. It wasn't as good as people mistaking it for gospel music but it was still pretty amusing.

My view is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B04AXaHkNhA here. Apologies for my many years old mic giving a static crackle in the background, there's not much I can do about that.

The streamer I happened to random into has her archive video here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148420657. The match starts at 56:00. I wasn't able to hear most of her reactions to my 'chanting', as she puts it, and her chat also has a pretty what the gently caress reaction to it, so it's a decent watch.

drat it was already removed.
Edit: nevermind. found it when looking through the streamer's channel. But for some reason the link doesn't work for me.

It happens with Part 6, too. It's an annoying quirk of the spear type weapon.

it's an annoying quirk of swinging your weapon into a window and getting it stuck in the wooden framework. All Jason's have this happen randomly.

Nothing if they get you right out of shifting. Your best bet is to run towards where they were when they shift and hope they over-shoot.

Well unlike Party Hard, F13 is a fun game. If that's your alternative when you can't play F13 then might I instead suggest watching paint dry while punching yourself in the balls.

If they don't have to go to work then yea I can see it happening. I'm halfway there but my birthday was this week and I have a full-time job, etc. If I had twice as much free time there's a chance I'd be at 30 already because this is the only game I've been playing since Friday.

Does anybody like playing as Kenny? I feel like middle-of-the-road stats don't end up being very useful, since you're not particularly suited in any one area to take on/avoid Jason.

Is Kenny the dude in the leather jacket or the black dude? I haven't unlocked the leather jacket yet and I want to play him strictly on aesthetics alone, but I did play a game with the other dude and he was pretty good. His speed and strength were pretty good if I'm remembering correctly, but I don't think I got to play him long before the game crashed and I went back to AJ.

He's only useful to play as if you want to play the closest thing to a Jon Tron lookalike in video games.


Otherwise you should only ever get him at random

He's not bad if you're new and unsure what you want to spend the match doing or how you'd like to die.

My mission is to become a dangerous Buggzy. With the +20% melee stun and inceased axe damage perks I unlocked, I find I can one-shot down just about any Jason. The problem is landing the hit reliably.

Honestly, the most profound differences between the Jasons are the movement speeds. Everything else is noticeable, but relatively minor.

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers?!!
So far I only play as Savini Jason because hosts often pick me to be Jason just so they can see it in action.

So far I've clean-sweeper the counselors twice as Jason. Still never survived though. I know what I need to do to win, but I just keep having bad luck. I was mere feet from the boat with the gas (after installing the propellor long ago, when he morphed right on top of me. The one time I got the car going the game hard crashed.

Trying to fight Jason is maddening because there are times when he's able to walk around and attack/grab you but your attacks just bounce off of him like when he's stunned.

I've been doing this for the past few days with really successful results. I've heard the music start and crouch (been maiming Kenny just because until starting The Chad last night), creep under a bed...a lot of times lately I've noticed people running to my current cabin fleeing Jason or if I happen to be with 1-3 others and the music starts I will dive under a bed.

The most tense feeling as of late has been hiding and hearing the screams and sounds of slaughter outside the cabin while hiding. Jason has also walked by my bed in pursuit of someone else and even when my character screams at that, he often seems to ignore it or think it's who he is pursuing. :v:

If I'm ever in a cabin with at least one other person and the music starts, I find a hiding spot. They rarely do, and the Vanessa standing in the open always leads Jason on a merry chase away from me.

A lot of times Jasons don't even want to mess with going through all the beds and closets in the early game, especially if there are other potential targets nearby.

I don't really understand this vitriol at all. I can get if you disagree with their stance, but their argument is a vaild one. Regardless of whether or not you think the differences are considerable enough to justify this practice, it's still locking a different playing character behind an exclusivity deal, and that's just lovely practice.

If they released another Jason that played exactly the same but looked more generic, I'm positive a large percentage of people complaining about it would be satisfied.
