In my second game ever as killer, I was called "camping trash" when I only killed two of them total as Pyramid Head. Game is fun though I'm not so sure about the grind to unlock perks and such.

Would highly suggest leveling bubba(leatherface) if you have him, enough that you can get his teachable perk BBQ on all killers. It basically doubles your bp gain.

I've got a question about We'll Live Forever and BBQ & Chilli, does the bonus only apply on actions you take after the counter goes up or is it just a straight up multiplier on everything you did once the match ends?

The latter. I believe every other method of BP increase only makes categories fill faster in-game, rather than multiplying post-game points.

The offerings only give postgame BP too. I thought I found a way to get max sacrifice points without actually sacrificing anyone but :smith:

New patch is out. It seems they've (finally) fixed the "everyone has Iron Will" bug, according to the notes

Also some of Bubba's reworked addons are funny. Begrimed Chains makes people lose their held items now on chainsaw hits

Good news, they reverted most of the Billy nerf and he's actually playable again.

Bad news, the aura system got a complete overhaul and the game is actively unplayable if you're colorblind. If you're not it's still hot garbage, especially on Ormond. Trapper's almost completely unplayable too! Also among other things, Plague now shoots from her breasts instead of her mouth hitbox wise, which is just bizarre.

It's not a graphical change (survivors still see it from her mouth) but her arc is completely different now and you have to aim much lower to actually hit anything.

Just got off of Ormond, can confirm that auras are completely loving worthless. I'm glad Oni can drop people quick because I had basically no loving clue where the generators were.

Is giving Plague vomitties a buff? Who can say.

The auras are like a secret nerf to all aura-reading perks. BBQ basically can't show you people working on generators anymore because of how they look now.

Dear Rank 6 No-Talent Motherfucker,

I am not sure it constitutes "camping" if, instead of completing a full orbit of the remaining generators, I check one and then turn back on the theory that you are probably being unhooked right now. Indeed, when you are being unhooked and you are the one I end up chasing, I would say that this is a sign of "ill luck" and "being outplayed."

I am also not sure what "tunnelling" is, other than something done by "bitch rear end c---s."

Postscript: lol at disconnecting while being carried to the hook during the final sequence. (That wasn't Mx. No-Talent Motherfucker, though.)

I think the Plague shooting her slime from her cleavage is a stealth buff because I was able to nail a number of survivors where previously I would have to walk it onto them. The aura thing wasn't that annoying but I didn't ever get the BBQ perk.

Primetime

Really hoping they revert or fix the aura changes, if bbq didn't also give all the bonus BP at the end I would even think of switching off it entirely with how useless auras are now.

Was this change on the test servers ever? Or did they just push it through untested

Look into your heart. You know the answer.

(This was not tested at all, pushed in out of nowhere and has basically made the game unplayable. BHVR's quarantined all feedback on this into one topic on their forums and have refused to comment on if this will be hotfixed.)

I generally only play survivor when I have a daily, so I run plunderer, kindred, open handed, and ace in the hole.

I just had a weird game with some survivors with friends. They were absolutely running circles around me, but at the end of the match were like level 15. I also hit one of them and they should have gone down but nothing happened. Who knows.

Also lol it's always the one with the least amount of points that whinges

E: just remembered a match I played the other night, one of the survivors was a streamer so I checked out the VOD of my match to see what it looked like from the other side. He was SWF with another dude, and the other guy at one point goes "oh wow so she just HAPPENS to know every time I start to repair a generator" clearly implying i was hacking.

I was playing The Pig, with Surveilance.

These guys were rank 8.

Also the streamer complained about me "just loving with them" because I stood right beside him as he searched a jigsaw box and left when it wasnt the right one. I was being nice you dork

Wasn't Leatherface able to destroy pallets with his chainsaw before the rework or was that only a thing for Hillbilly?

Edit: I guess he still does but the hit detection is very fiddly. Man, the new Leatherface is still so bad :( The chainsaw wasn't great before but now it's just a trap option - useless on any indoors maps and I feel like revving it up slows you down? Plus you get stunned for like five seconds if you make a mistake. It's just safer to play him as a M1 killer and forget the chainsaw is even a thing.

Just avoid hitting walls or objects and it's fine. Also don't rev it up until you're close to the enemy or if you're coming up on them pulling someone off a hook.

Yeah I was gonna say, LF's chainsaw has always slowed him way down while revving it. That combined with the worse acceleration curve meant you basically needed two or three seconds of no vaults to actually hit anyone with the chainsaw.

The rank 1s I've noticed can consistently pull off this weird thing where I swing, they move in such a way that my killer's auto-aim takes over, by the time the swing finishes they aren't in the path of it and there's no way to correct it because auto-aim. It's very frustrating and I wish I knew how it worked

I suspect they learn to see your wind-up animation? I had a hilarious bug where I grabbed a guy from behind with Myers while running that perma-Tier 1 mirror and... I just froze. For like six seconds. So did the guy, but he moved eventually and I dont' think he made any gen progress during this period.

TGLT
Aug 14, 2009
Yeah, sounds like you're getting spun. Don't lunge and stick with a normal attack for maximum aim assist. You can wait a bit if you think they might pull a 360 and then swing. Learning to punish a 360 is useful, because if you hit them while they spin around they'll waste a good portion of their post-hit speed burst going nowhere.

Unrelated physics fun: I was using the iridescent hatchet head on Huntress and I whacked some guy with a fully charged one from like four meters away because he decided to leap out of a bush and try to flashlight me. He did a full 360 in the air and fell, dead in the Dying state.
