From that clip and the announcement they made quite a while back it seems like a full single player game using the DbD lore, so yay!!

I'm so behind on the rift unlocked lore that's been my bedtime reading the past week.

I believe this was initially announced as the latter. Which is probably for the best, since Until Dawn hasn't been a hot property in a while and wendigo is going from a rare woods monster to an Algonquian myth it's kind of disrespectful to use willy nilly in more and more social circles.

Nope, new character and the "survivors" seem new too. I assume they'll come to the "main game" as either distinct characters in their own right, or as skins for other characters (Frank Stone looks Trapper-esque in his mask).

Killer design looks awful to me at first blush, a rejected trapper cosmetic. With how much the design shows off the mouth and eye I guess he’s meant to talk a bunch? And the name is real Action Guy. Guess we’ll have to see

Bunch of the tools in the trailer looked vaguely like the trappers addons too, but hey, they are tools for a reason.

Blast Mine is usually good for 1 or 2, then you can camp pallets (and throw the match, basically). Another option is letting yourself get tunneled with Decisive Strike.

The stun one isn't terrible if you have Blast Mine, since that counts - I think Decisive Strike and maybe wiggle-out stuns count as well? e: Okay yeah, Medullah beat me to it :v:

It's still not something I'd enjoy, of course, but I'd take it over the "blind the killer while they're carrying a survivor twice in one game" one, which I personally farmed off a friendly Huntress before it was patched out. I never use flashlights because I don't enjoy them as a game mechanic on killer and I generally follow a "do unto others" rule with what perks/mechanics I engage with, so I suck rear end at them. Like I understand them and I'm not mad at people for using them, but "valid game mechanic" doesn't always mean "fun game mechanic", y'know, so I personally just feel bad trying to use them.

Flashbangs, on the other hand, are chaotic good because of how incredibly stupid and funny and likely to miss they are, and I wholly support those. I think flashlights should just be replaced with flashbangs.

Cribbing some other comments but it seems like this might be the "first killer", the one that brings the Entity into our world. There's the gens, hooks, all of that stuff that later got pulled into the Realm.

This would be really neat. The Entity canonically does span multiple universes - there's a Haddie in the archive lore with a slightly different backstory from the one we get to play as, for example. It's part of why I hope we one day get a killer that's an alternate universe version of an existing survivor or vice versa. Legion as survivors is something people have made fan concepts for before. I also think Yun-Jin would make a loving awesome killer (and it would be very funny to have a corresponding Trickster-as-survivor).

Good news, got Adept Chucky first try. Bad news....I was a M1 killer, I can't hit Slice and Dice for poo poo.

Friends til the End is replacing Nowhere to Hide as my Aura perk, holy poo poo that is fun. I was worried about the last survivor finding hatch, but he was Obsession and I hooked the other, so I knew exactly where he was.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, I don't think I get Slice and Dice on a mechanical level. I charge, I swing at someone theoretically right in front of me, there's a weird lag, Chucky hits nothing. Repeat until I go insane

On a brighter note had a funny match while trying to knock off the orange glyph archive, was Michael running a silly endgame Rancor build and largely getting kicked all over the place. Ended up with lots hooked but no one dead when last gen was about to pop, it just so happened I was right in front of the obsession Meg who'd been juicing me all game. Smack, down...she immediately springs up again with Adrenaline. A beat of confusion. Smack, Rancor, stab

Slice and Dice requires you to let go before you're on top of them, chucky lunges towards the target. If you're waiting until you're on top of them, you'll hit past them, not on them.

My favourite chucky build is: friends to the end, nowhere to hide, lethal, and pop, paired with rat poison addon, and your choice (I like razor)

So much aura reading, it's essentially a permachase build.

Right now I'm running Monitor, Plaything, Trail of Torment, and Dark Devotion with Silk Pillow and Pile of Nails. It's a pretty fun jumpscare-y build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkkgP3q5amA

Trail of Torment is one of my favorite perks. Doesn't always work, but man once you find that gen at almost full and kick it and the survivors ignore it, it's fantastic. It being highlighted yellow is a giveaway but thanks to blast mine and wiretap they don't always immediately beeline to it.

what a humorous anecdote.
For all of you Stealth Chucky enjoyers, I've been having a blast with Dark Devotion, Tinkerer, BBQ, and (regression of choice). It's gotten me a few gen grabs, a bunch of surprise downs, and lets me harass the right people at the right time pretty consistently. The antiheal razor addon rounds things out for pushing them against a wall, and all without meta perks being the defining feature of the build.

I've never cared for Franklin's Demise - another one of those "I respect it but prefer not to use it" things. It can feel a little mean spirited, though part of it I think is that most of the people I run into with it are acting kind of rude in other ways, e.g. tunneling and facecamping type behavior, so I just associate it with that on some level.

Not that, let me knock off add-ons. Doesn't even have to be the killer weapon, just add-ons. Killer could still pick them up just like survivors can.

Would that be terrible and probably cause survivors to lose even harder because they're going for stuns they shouldn't? Absolutely. Would it likely not impact the match enough to even matter? Probably. Would a survivor get tunneled straight out of the match the very instant a killer even thinks the survivor has that perk/item? Definitely.


But I don't care, I want it anyway.
