I have never done it, but I saw a video on Reddit a couple weeks ago. It takes two counselors, one gets as close to the traps and to the cabin as possible at like a 45-degree angle from the fuse box. The second dude creeps into the gap between the first counselor and the cabin and tries to get the E prompt up. If done correctly they will be able to start the fuse animation but the gap is too small for them to be pulled through so the first counselor prevents them from being moved to the position in front of the fuse box but they can still do the minigame from where they have been blocked.
Is there something similar with the car battery, too? I had multiple matches last night as Jason where counselors installed the car battery despite a trap being there. The traps weren't even triggered.

Tears are tears, I don't give a poo poo if they're calling me a noob or what the hell they're crying about, as long as they're crying. Part 3 is what I learned the game on, its the Jason that's most consistent for me and leads to the least embarrassing 3/8 or 4/8 games so gently caress what anyone says about it being the noob Jason. Does it really matter if I'm a noob if your head is being separated from your body at escape velocity?

Honestly the reason for that is he's probably the best jason. When you absolutely want to murder some fuckers part 3 has decent strengths and no glaring weaknesses.

I've had great games as every Jason I've played so far except Part 7. Part 7 can't do poo poo except see blips from all over the map and move fast in water. Knowing where everybody is is useless if you have weak Shift and can't run.

The key is just knowing what your particular Jason can do well and then adjust your playstyle accordingly. When I'm Jason 2 I lay down my traps, Jason 6 I toss throwing knives everywhere and Shift like a motherfucker, Jason 3 I just wail on people with my axe.

e: Also yes I still haven't put that many hours into the game so I haven't even unlocked the last two Jasons yet.

Jason 7 really is hard mode. We had one game at Crystal lake where there were 2 car spawns, and the phone as far from those cars as could be. (Springwater spawn) One of the vehicles was repaired and the cops were called by the end of the game. I likely would have lost someone if Terry didn't blunder into an off-script trap I put down.

I do wish there was some way to introduce a third running Jason just for the sake of variety.

Part 4 Jason I suppose looks too similar to Part 3, but maybe just give him a machete, let him keep the ability to run and tune down his shift or something? Roy/Part 5 would also be another opportunity to put another running Jason in the game, because he's just a regular guy so it would make sense for him to run.

Running aside, Roy would be a fun addition just in general as another nod to the movies. It would be pretty cool to knock his mask off and be able to see like a foam rubber headpiece around a regular guy's face like it was in the movie.

I'd say hatchet, swings faster but has way less range than the axe. Then one of the special weapon kills is Jason pulling out the corkscrew and screwing a counselor's hands then hatchet to the face.

Part 8 is my favorite. If he could run he'd be the best hands-down IMO. Has the Savini destruction plus (so locked doors only take 3 hits to go down, which is insane good), and that all on its own makes him great. Longer stalk is cool to me because I like stalk, and water speed is sort of meh but hey, he's fast as poo poo in water. Situational but can be useful.

But his "weaknesses" are whatever. Shorter sense, can't run, lower grip strength. Psh. That's nothing. He basically doesn't have weaknesses.

Part 3's glaring weakness is that if you even wave a melee object in his general direction, he's gonna get stunned, and falls down at the slightest provocation. You can drat near stunlock him.

Also I finally had an 8/8 game, against pubbies no less! And even more amazingly, one of them had a soundboard -- and he was amazing with it. He had stuff like NOPE, gently caress YOU, and BONK loaded up, but also a bunch of appropriate voice clips so he could carry a conversation, and even music. At one point I teleported in on the group when they were fixing the car, and he was playing The Lion Sleeps Tonight for them, and then as soon as I appeared he changed it to the Sonic cartoon theme -- "Gotta go fast! Go fast GO FAST GO FAST". Later on, when I was chasing him around the car, he put on the Benny Hill theme song. Other players even begged me to spare him and go after them, because having him alive was so entertaining. (I didn't. I killed everyone.) It was like playing a match against Harpo Marx.

This is what's hilarious, people freak the hell out and scream P2W and this and that like yeah he has good perks, so what? He has nothing exclusive to him (Other than weap kills) and it's not like his damage or destruction is higher than the other examples of Jason with those, it's just people going nuts because some clown whipped out a spreadsheet and concluded he's "objectively the strongest", as if that really means much when you're in a lineup of all strong guys.

Does picking a certain Jason affect your chances of playing as him? When I play as Part 7 Jason, I get picked in the first or second round right away, but if I play as Part 8 Jason or any other Jason, I never get picked.

I tested this out by playing as Part 8 Jason for a few days and out of 20 rounds with randoms, I only got picked once or twice. When I went back to Part 7 Jason, I'm constantly getting picked all the time, to the point that out of 10 matches in 10 different lobbies, I got picked 6-7 times.

Has anyone noticed something similar with their Jasons?

I played a single round with him today and yeah, he's kinda meh. He looks cool but it's really lame that every match I jump in now has at least 5 Savini Jasons queued up.

But the upside is since everyone who snagged it yesterday has only had a day and a half or so to play with him, it doesn't seem like people who were bad at Jason are any better with him.

Yea Savini has some nice advantages but nothing that's going to instantly change a bad Jason player into a good one. You still have to use your movement abilities efficiently and keep tabs on the objectives, use stalk to close the deal on kills, etc.

I still think 2 by far is the best, and I am surprised it hasn't been nerfed to the ground. Shorter sense, slower water speed, and less HP, which are all irrelevant. On the positive, more traps, can run, and morph recharges faster. You can trap the hell out of the phone and cars and still have a trap or two left over, and then zoom all over the map with morph.

Good thick skin rolls pretty much deleted him from the game is why, especially if you got one of the 50% ones and never unequipped it, you can run a marathon through his traps all day and then he's just Part 3 without the weapon damage.

I find J7's superhearing as much a detriment as a benefit because it's virtually impossible to tell how far away you're hearing things, it's way too easy to morph and miss the target by more than a shift's distance because you can hear 3/4 of the drat map.

Having not played Savini or 9 yet, it's definitely 2 or 8 for me. At the moment I'm using 8, but I'm noticing people getting much better about not being trapped in cabins, and destruction's a non-factor once you get Rage anyway, so I may go back to 2 soon.

And when that happens at least you know where it is. Put 3 traps on phone, 2 on one car, 1 another. You will not know for sure, but it gives you an idea of where to start. And if you are wrong, morph will be up really quick.

If you're lucky but not quite that lucky, your morph will be up when it happens so you can save yourself from flying off the map. It mostly happens when he's grabbing someone out of the car but I've also seen it happen in one of the small bathrooms.

That only happens when you try to grab the driver out right? I've noticed that good counselor teams will immediately run for you and try to hit you while you grab the driver, hoping to get a Map Out kill.

I think a smarter move would be to just wait at the front of the car for the designated hitters to try and stun you, and then just start whacking them because they probably also have pocket knives.

But then you have to worry about the car being restarted and backing away before you can smash the hood. Also I'm pretty sure it's a physics glitch and can happen no matter where you're grabbing them from, just people are more likely to attack if you're going after the driver because if you grab someone out of another window the rest can still drive away while you're busy.

Just had the most adorable thing happen. I start the match (as Chad, natch), and another Chad runs up to me toting a rifle. A little 12-year-old's voice pipes up over my speakers saying, "I'm gonna kill you!" He shoulders the rifle and takes aim. "Start running!" he says. So, being Chad, I walk up to him and whack him in the face with my baseball bat and him, being Chad, immediately says, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I'll help you!" :allears:

This game is fairly poorly implemented, but has the most potential. I'm about level 49 so I've wasted way too much time pissing about in a three-map searchathon, but at the moment it's my default game.

When this eventually ends up being a PS Plus game, I am going to swirly so many people.
