Just A Dumb Survivor

THE SHEER AUDACITY OF WHEN I RAN MY ASS ACROSS THE MAP TO SAVE YOU AND YOU JUST DO IT YOURSELF

I met someone Friday and they’ve been nice! However they were asking me personal questions and kept pressuring me to answer things, I was getting uncomfortable. I also knew they were older than me by a bit. So I DIDNT ignore my gut and since I tend to overthink and have anxiety I just told him something came up!

but like, she didn’t find me, she WALKED into me. She literally didn’t see me and slowly looked down wondering why she couldn’t move until I ran out of the bush

I’m not tagging it so it doesn’t take up space in the Dead by Daylight tag.

wether you are a good killer fully depends on how you play. There are different types of killers who specialize in different areas. These are all written in the POV of a survivor not someone who has played all these killers but someone who’s played against them!!

close distance(works best up close and personal)

-Trapper! while he can place traps as his special his traps only work it someone walks into active ones. Trapper has to rely on getting close to hurt survivors!

-Wraith! he goes invisible and has to walk up to them. while he has the element of surprise it only works up close!

Hillbilly! surprising choice right? while he has a chainsaw, he uses it to travel one place to another, he has to be up close to hit!

-Hag! while she in in the same spot as Nurse, she’s more similar to Trapper. she can’t teleport long distance unless she has placed a trap that gets activated

-Bubba! same as Hillbilly. dude idk I confuse them together all the time

-Nightmare! Freddy Krueger can(idk it’s a perk I think or something) teleport to a gen if two or more are on it. however he has to rely on getting close to you!

-Spirit! She is similar to Wraith. She can travel long distance invisible, however she needs to leave that state in order to hurt you!

-Legion! they rely on getting close to hit. while you can travel a long distance with frenzy you can only apply the deep wound status!

-Oni! He is able to use your blood to fuel his power however he needs to be near you to injure you!

-Blight! He is able to go into a rush similar to Bubba and Hillbilly. However he uses basic and lunge attacks to hurt you!

long distance(works best as longer distance)

-Nurse! honestly I think she fits short distance but with her blink ability she fits long distance. Nurse can move long distance and hit you just as fast. her blink makes it different from Hillbilly’s where she can disappear and reappear!

-Doctor! He is able to hit you with electric shocks that immobilize you. while this doesn’t hurt you, it slows you down and give away locations. Doctor’s special is able to reveal multiple survivors if they are within range!

-Huntress! She literally throws hatchets. she can hit you from long distance and close up. she can be very useful if you have good directional control and aim!

-Clown! He falls into the same category as Doctor. His afterpiece tonic slows you, blurs your vision, and makes you an easier target! he isn’t much of a threat but his afterpiece tonic is very dangerous to get caught in!

-Plague! I’m a bit hesitant to put her here however she is able to corrupt gens, pallets, and hooked survivors with her vomit. Even in a chase she can hit you. Same as Clown and Doctor, her vomit reveals your location, however you can also infect others!

-Demogorgan! They are able to lunge at you from long distance. Demogorgan can also create portals and “traverse the upside down” this allows them to travel long distance in a short time. but remember, demogorgan can’t close portals but you can!

-Deathslinger! He is able to use his harpoon gun to grab onto you and pull you towards him. However by going behind things or a another survivor blocking you, you can get out. getting out gives you the deep wound status and not escaping in time gets you injured or downed!

special! (there special is unique!)

-Shape! Micheal Myers, idk I haven’t read his ability in awhile, but he’s self explanatory

-Pig! with her reverse bear traps that you have to get off she earns a place on the special list! her traps, unlike Trappers can kill you!

-Ghostface! idk he can crouch and if you reveal him you get exposed. he’s useful for stealth but not necessarily remarkable. however Ghostface mains are scary

-Pyramidhead! He can be both a long distance and close distance killer. He has earned a place on the special list because of his built in mori however. he is able to create dangerous paths behind and a quick attack infront of him. By walking, or getting hit, into these you get barbed wire on you and you can either be moried or sent to a special hook/cage!

go after the first survivor you see, I would suggest that after a minute of chasing you can either choose to go after them or go to a gen, if you haven’t hit them yet you wasted time, just leave.

go after the easiest person, if that means hitting someone off hook, so be it. (And to you toxic killer mains: shut up about gen rushing, it’s their job— and to you survivor mains: you’re injured, therefore you’re the easiest target, we aren’t tunneling we are using common sense)

going after the easiest is a blow to the high ranks, bet you hadn’t thought that? low ranks, you ARE part of the team, you have a significant impact on the game. A psychological impact. if you aren’t in a call, it can work the best, they don’t know you’re skill level and you can’t communicate to the others. the second you die, they lose hope. the living survivors see people are dying fairly quickly and think the killer is good.

chase them all around a bit, once you know their basic running skills you know who the weakest and strongest links are

go after weaker ones first. it shouldn’t take long but if it does, leave, it’s not worth our time to chase things we can’t get

idk tunnel them a bit I guess, this works best with people in calls together(I’m gonna make a new post on this specific tip cause I have a lot to say)

everyone has different play styles, I tend to play on the verge of somewhat toxic behavior(ex. going after weaker survivors, proximity camping) different killers might work better than others

maybe you prefer to get close and sneak attack, or place traps, maybe you like to snipe them across the map(I’m also gonna make a post on this describing more in depth)

when chasing go behind obstacles, if they go along walls go on the other side. they lose sight of you and tend to turn at the end, right into you

work on damaging gens, even in a chase! you have time to chase them! you don’t have time to waste gens damage reduction

the cornfield trick, they run into the cornfield and stop running. follow the tracks into the corn maze, and look at the curve of the scratches(are they leaning more left or right?) follow that direction, sometimes you need to stand still and listen for the corn moving. they’ll either move towards the gen they were at or the building for cover

don’t let them loop, at the second or third loop just leave, they know what theyre doing. they are literally wasting time, you gain nothing from looping and they gain gens

How to tell if survivors are in a call or party together

they either seem to avoid you easily or know where you are most of the trial

(from a recent experience)if you hook someone and most of the survivors come and crowd around you to get them off hook, they are in a call, no randoms ever exhibit this behavior

a hive mind like way of playing, gens are getting done and saves are a lot faster(ex. you hook someone and they get saved as soon as you leave and get healed pretty quickly after)

you are after a survivor and someone else comes and body blocks, this isn’t a guarantee but it’s not common for randoms to do this

if all survivors come to body block, they are all or mostly in a call with eachother, no randoms are able to figure out all at the same time to do the same thing

body blocking for certain survivors that are on death hook, when I play with randoms or in my group, you don’t remember the hook stages of each person

running to the survivor on death hook to help

(from experience, sorta hard to tell until after the game) the second last survivor on hook gives up really quickly and almost immediately the last person finds hatch, the person gave up because they were told the other found hatch

the people run around each other almost easily, as if they know the others next move(ex. both looping or running you while gens are getting done)

also safe to assume most of the time that if there are 2+ Xbox players they’re in a party, treat them as if they are even if they aren’t

I hate him, I hate him so goddamn much

literally sucks ass, horrible, a bitch

idk why I hate him, my brain just woke up one day and decided violence against the trapper

I completed that fairly quickly and then decided to walk up to random survivors cloaked and ring my bell and when I tell you they BOOKED it

I did it to the Bill and the second he heard it he bolted out so fast it didn’t even register for a second

some of y’all are the horniest bitches ever and some of y’all are like “I wanna make a pizza with Dwight🥺”

anyways, like the dumbass I am, I thought “yo could I expose him from here?”

so I peak, very slightly out, and look in his direction, the music starts and I reveal him. only now does it click that I am also exposed in my hiding spot
