Got out on the boat once today, 4 more to go.

I’m disappointed there has been no Christmas update. Even if they just gave Jason a Santa hat or something.

I think single player is supposed to be out before Xmas if I'm remembering the road map correctly.

I'd love Santa Jason though.

I feel like my main problem with surviving is that the more drunk I am, the more likely I am to think "I've had enough of this dude" whenever I hear Jason's theme kick in, and go looking for him. I had one round where I drat near ran out the clock after he started tunneling me about five minutes in. He managed to catch me shortly before the two minute warning.

That was right after they had dropped the new map counselors and Jason. They've also been consistently balancing things as well so I'm not really gonna be on their rear end about it.

I wonder if this means that extra items will spawn there, or if the same number of items will spawn on the map - now also distributed to the camp sites.

One is very bad for Jason, one is very good. Door traps are cool, but you're already in trouble if the car is fixed and they are trying to get in IMO.

it also depends on precisely what will spawn there. stuff shows up it's just nothing you want to touch in the history of ever unless you are one hundred percent desperate.

I don't see a problem if you're running through a campsite on your way to somewhere and "Ooo look, a med spray!", but yeah if stuff spawns in a far-off campsite in a corner of the map then it could be a problem if the keys spawn there.

It’s Friday Slashers & Counselors. We’re close to releasing the next update for Friday the 13th: The Game, and we have a lot of information to share with you today.

Offline Bots:
Maybe you hate playing online with people. Maybe you want to learn the lay of the land in all the maps. Maybe you just want to practice laying waste to scores of counselors. No matter the why of your situation, today I am happy to announce that the next update of Friday the 13th: The Game will include offline bots.

To access this new feature, you’ll want to select the new “Offline Play” menu item, and then “Offline Bots”. Next up you’ll want to select the map you want to play on, and select your preferred counselor punishing Jason.

Finally, you will be able to select how difficult the bots you play against will be from the 3 difficulty levels included in the update – Easy, Normal, and Hard. The higher the difficulty you choose, the longer counselors will remember you being in the area, the more likely they are to fight you, the quicker they are to react to your presence, the quicker they are to exit hiding spaces when you leave, and the more likely they are to use Medical Sprays smartly.
They’ll fix cars, boats, hide in closets, under beds, in sleeping bags, barricade doors, and more to keep you from making them into another victim. Feel like honing your single prey hunting skills? You’ll be able to select from 1 to 7 counselors in your offline game to ensure that you are playing against exactly how many counselors you want to stalk.

Max Level Increase:
Today I’m excited to talk about one of the new changes coming with our next update; an increase in max player level from 101 to 150. This increase won’t just be a number that keeps getting higher as you play more and earn XP. There are some cool things that you will unlock along the way, and we’re going to talk about a few of those right now.

New for Counselors: More clothing coloring options for Mitch, Fox… and a couple more counselors that we aren’t ready to speak about, yet… allowing you to stand out from the other prey in the match.

New for Jason: get ready to murder pesky counselors in new ways. In the upcoming patch you will be able to unlock two brand-spankin’ new grab kills for Jason, absolutely for free. Well, except for the cost of CP. We’ll also have bloody variations of multiple Jasons allowing you to walk around splattered with blood like the slasher you are.

That’s not all, though. More level rewards will be added in the coming months, and we’ll have more information about them in the coming months.

Holiday Events:
Starting on December 18th and lasting through to the 23rd, your chances of rolling a Rare and Epic perk will be increased. My advice, hoard that CP you collect over the weekend and spend it next week instead.

Starting on December 23rd and running through to the 27th, your chances of finding BOTH Pamela and Jarvis tapes will be increased. If you’re rummaging through drawers and find one, maybe go ahead and be a Chad and keep it for yourself.

Finally, from December 23rd and running through to January 2nd, you will be earning DOUBLE CP. Please note that CP earned from leveling up is NOT doubled, but everything else is.

But when does it come out?
For our Steam and PS4 users, you’re looking at receiving the next update on Monday, 12/18/2017. That is not an exact time, as there isn’t one available.
For our Xbox One players, we expect the update to follow shortly.

Since it has the sweater, it might have been about players blocking access to the item because there's no way to enter except through a single door.

It doesn't matter if you're hands are empty but you have to have a pocket knife to do this and you won't be able to use it afterward.

I love the potoo,
and the potoo loves you.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but after playing some MKX again lately I'd be down for seeing Kombatant Jason as an outside the box future Jason choice. Not hard to imagine Jason borrowing an assortment of MK fatalities for his kills, many of which are suitably brutal for this game, and would open some fun options for Jason's weapon - borrowing Kenshi's sword, say, or Mileena's sai.
