if you go into shamble after crawling through a broken window you were hurt to begin with and again, it's doing its intended job of chipping you down for Jason. i've Chadded through multiple broken windows in a match and had no outward problems with it until jason tagged me with a throwing knife later.

This is why a tactic I like to use against someone I've pinned in a cabin is to smash every window but one, plant a trap outside that one, and start smashing down the door - they'll usually flee through the unbroken window and get trapped.

I see this work on people and I'm baffled as to how the situational awareness is so bad that they don't know not to go through that window.

I would probably try this but I usually have all my traps out on the 2nd morph.

broken windows damaging you is a direct response to the infinite window exploits that plagued DbD for a long time and jfc is it a good one. if you just crawl through a couple broken windows you'll never feel it, it's only when you're attempting to be a colossal dingus will you take any serious amount of damage.

I killed myself trying to pick up a bat next to a broken window. I was hammering the use key in the general area to grab it before Jason took the knife out of his neck, and the game interpreted that as me wanting to repeatedly slam my hands on the broken glass.

That said, broken windows being able to kill you is a good thing. gently caress any potential for (semi-)infinite loops unless the Jason is too dumb to break the window.

I never got it to work. Makes it an easy excuse to just give up on Jason 2 for his extra traps and slow travel.

Works with some regularity for me.

Stalk is what gets me a lot of my kills as Jason. It's perfect for luring out hiding campers who think they're safe again, and I prefer to play Jason as an ambush predator rather than chasing people down.

yeah i had the same thing happen with a loving bed next to a bat. dumbshit survivor scurried under the bed when jason was 3 feet away and by the time i scrambled back out he was all over me.

it was an angry about elves moment for sure

I've thought about setting my mic to always on as a challenge to stay stealthy, but I realized I could never do it when my fiancee was watching me play a few nights ago. I was hiding in a cabinet and someone else was in the cabin with me, and I was explaining to her how I was using him as bait for Jason to chase after and let me escape. As soon as Jason showed up, the dude leaps through a loving closed window and we burst into laughter.

How can I be close enough to hit Jason with the bat if his reach is like 4 feet longer than the bat?

You have to be in the swing before he lunges.

It's a calculated risk.

chitoryu12
Apr 24, 2014

You can also dodge backwards or to the side when he attacks and hit him before he recovers. The game prioritizes Jason's hits/grabs if you both swing simultaneously, so attacking him from head-on is incredibly risky (because you're trying to beat up loving Jason Voorhees). Best to fight him 2 vs. 1 or 3 vs. 1 and hit him in the back.

I've had a lot more luck recently only setting down one trap at the beginning, usually on the phone. It takes a lot of the mystery out of when I get the notification that the trap went off, and being able to use traps later when there are specific places like windows to trap make getting those fast fucks a lot easier.

I just died in record time. I was trying to Chad it up, and I spawned next to the house with the phone in it. Within 10 seconds the power goes out, and I slink around the cabin for a few seconds. Then I find the battery and get out a window. I get about 50 feet towards the car, turn the corner outside of a cabin and BOOM there's Jason.

I lasted less than 90 seconds.

My plan against Duster Jason is get XP quick then yolo. Shoot him, hit him, die, get more XP than I would for jerking off running in circles for 10 minutes.

I encountered that last night, seems to be fairly well known. I just don't understand it, what's the fun in going there and just sitting around for 20 minutes? Just to get an extra 200xp? For what?

That's nothing, I went up against a couple of griefers who knew how to glitch themselves onto the Packanack lodge's roof and behind the warehouse-looking building by one of the camp exits.

I just muted their mics, killed everyone else and took a power nap.

XBone got its patch today and it seems to contain a few things others haven't received in their last patch, like the now -1000xp betrayal penalty. Guess it's some insight to what we'll be getting. Anyway:

Would be fun for a bunch of people to step in front of a moving car and essentially erase a poor saps entire nights worth of XP.

Any idea if you can de-level? Would hate to lose my part 9 Jason for killing griefers
