I've had it work if you set it up to make it look like you escaped some other way, like the window or an open door, or if there's someone else in the area with you to distract his attention.
The gigantic building in Packanack is also a great place for hiding since it's so huge that Jason would have a hard time pinning your location down.

The key is to hide in one of the cabins with a radio. Especially in the early game, it's idiotic for Jason to spend precious minutes going through every room in the Lodge when he knows that you may not even be in there at all. Most Jasons know this and won't even bother, especially if there were multiple counselors in the area and they can chase one that's actually visible.

I haven't been doing much hiding lately since I started playing Adam. With Adam I don't survive the round nearly as often but it's because I'm repairing poo poo and fighting Jason constantly, racking up that xp.

The Chad put two bear traps in front of a bed and crawled under it and had a Mexican standoff with Jason once.

He took the bait and Chad bugged out to the nearby cabin with people in it. Jason killed the poor person with the leather jacket.

I tried to play as Chad but I found myself pulling Adam-like moves that felt wrong as a Chad. I guess its my natural instinct to die heroically.

Just had a game as Jason where I was trying to block the car from exiting. I got in the car's path right before the exit, then it backed up, did a loop and then crashed into a sign. Right after my position jumped around a bit like I was getting some heavy lag and then the car is back on the road again and swerving past me. Is this the game screwing up or is this some kind of lag switch fuckery?

So last night I had one really perfect moment as a survivor against Tinfoil.

It was super early game, I found the phone fuse immediately and was Adam.

I figured I had to be close to phone house and found it with Whymir inside. So I rushed up and told him to get on the phone ASAP. I triggered the bear trap and got the fuse in. Moments later Tinfoil rolls up and I immediately drop the fireworks stunning him. Call goes through.

I get slaughtered for my good deeds because triggering the bear trap hosed me over but good, but the important thing is that the only two people who got out alive? Got out through the cop exit.

MVP Burk.

Later on I was a Vanessa, saw people loving around near the bottom of the map with the boat, and ran down there as fast as possible. Sure enough, Duster was loving around with it and nearly had it fixed. We got the gently caress out, with me taking the scenic route as is my custom. It was a part 3 Jason so I really wasn't worried. Vannessa out bitches and she's taking two fire crackers and a pocket knife with her

I had a particularly lucky Chad run where I spawned in front of the phone house and found the fuse in one of the first drawers I opened, then fixed the phone and called the police before fleeing into the night. Through more dumb luck, I even wound up hiding right near where the police spawned.

Usually, though, I can't even find the phone! The phone junction box location is random, isn't it? Is the telephone always inside whatever house the junction box is attached to? I played a match on Pakanack and although I managed to replace the fuse, I couldn't find the phone inside the house after hunting around for a few minutes.

I think its technically possible for the phone fuse to spawn far from the house with the phone box, but is seems like the odds are definitely in favor of it showing up somewhere near it. Not necessarily in the same house, but if you're in a cluster of 2 or 3 cabins odds are good its gonna be one of those.

This is exactly what happened with me last night. Except I picked the wrong exit to camp out at, and I didn't have a map, so I had no idea where I was.

Thank you, but I don't mean the fuse item - I mean the actual phone you interact with to call the police - I couldn't find it anywhere. Later in the match, someone did call the police, so it must've been around somewhere, but I felt like a doof for not being able to track it down myself.

They may need to adjust the interaction prompt for stuff because it can be super easy to walk right past stuff, even with a flashlight on. I don't mind missing a weapon out in the forest, but the phone being hard to find (because it's small and blends in) is annoying and not in a "Oh well panicked teenagers" kinda way and more just a "Why did you make it so loving tiny?!"

E: has anyone else had other players bitch about using the melee attack as Jason? I've had a couple of games where I was told that I was "Being a bitch" and "Cheesing" the game because I used a melee attack to weaken up the other players.

Yes they were pubbies, but is this like a thing? Where you just decide to not use a function of the game because reasons?

Because it's really dumb that Jason players would just abandon a useful mechanic because "Reasons"

I'm honestly waiting to hear someone say the throwing knives are OP and shouldn't be used.

The phone is in a fixed position depending on which type of cabin it's in. In the long cabins it'll be in the central hallway, in the Packanack lodge it's in the far left room upstairs, and in I think the lodge in Crystal Lake it's right at the top of the spiral staircase. I don't remember if there's any other possible locations at the moment. The phones also have one of those white interaction icons when you get close.

Thanks, this is a huge help, not knowing what my search boundaries should be was really messing with me.

Does anyone else wish there was an "Opt Out of Tommy Jarvis" option? Sometimes I just wanna watch the other counselors after I get murdered! Also why does he look uncannily like British actor Matt Smith?

The saddest thing is, I've seen these movies enough times to know these are two different characters in two different movies.

The first girl is one of a pair of twins in the fourth movie, and the second is a mickey mouse shirt wearing girl from the second movie, whose clothes are all like, three sizes too small. I'm pretty sure she gets out alive too.


This is not a negative for the record, just my nerdery is supreme.

The two actors have very similar chins and general facial structure. The way Tommy's face looks in-game seems to be even closer to Matt Smith.

Not sure what the best way to describe the cabin type is, but another phone location is next to a bathroom door, the bathroom walls being inset into a larger main room.

I've seen the phone in some bizarre spots before, like one time it was in a random bedroom on the second floor, and kind of around a corner where you wouldn't even see it unless you were looking for it. Maybe you just had bad luck like that.

Yes.

Admittedly I give an "Oh for fucks sake" or something if I die super early on, but if Jason is being cool/funny while he does it, I'll play along and add my own death sound effects. Then I spend the rest of the match in "Dead Guy Chat" and laugh at the stupid poo poo the rest of the players are doing. Not saying dying early doesn't kinda suck, but that's how it goes sometimes, and especially since you basically can't escape without a pocket knife at this point, dying super early does suck, but considering I've been playing with a lot of pubbies/randos I've added to my friends list who weren't complete morons, if I die early it means I can duck out for a smoke or something.

The people who beg to be Jason or spend the rest of the match pissing and moaning about how they died are the worst. There was some absurd drama in a game last night where someone died in the first 15 seconds, then next round blasted the dude who played Jason the previous round with a shotgun as revenge.

The screaming argument that broke out in the chat was both hilarious and really, really sad.

The girl who survives in the original Friday the 13th dies in the first scene of Part 2, and you can also see her decomposed body in Jason's shack when they go there at the end. You can tell its her because she still has an ice pick sticking out of her head.

Nope because you've actually accomplished your goal and succeeded, so watching the rest of the game play out is fine. Unless the game is being drawn out by an inept Jason or a guy that's under a bed for half the game.

The one thing that sucks for me coming back as Jarvis after a quick escape, because that means one of the vehicles is gone and escape as Jarvis probably isn't going to happen.

You should strive never to escape as Jarvis. Jarvis should always be killed by Jason. You shouldn't really even die heroically, the Tommy from the movies would never be able to pull that off. Immediately run to Jason, deliver a one-liner, shoot him, get killed. That's it, job done.

I always roleplay Tommy as hilariously incompetent.
