    Huntress

    While DeathSlinger can reload instantly and has a shorter Terror Radius. Huntress is way better in a chase.

    Deathslinger

    Deathslinger has infinite ammo, but takes more time using and reloading his gun. Huntress is better for direct damage, but deathslinger is better at mind games.

    Kekslinger can't cinderblock you through walls and around corners.

    Huntress

    Deathslinger is better at zoning and eliminating pallets. Huntress is better at capitalizing on her sexy shots.

    Every hit with a hatchet is a hit. Not every hit with harpoon is a hit.

    Edit: Also, even good Deathslinger might struggle a lot with map pressure, he can't shoot someone who is out of gun's range and is slower than basic killers. While good Huntress, despite being slower than basic killers too, can secure gens with successful throws, while being on the very other side of the map.

    Is that better-ranged killer, or better ranged-killer?

    Huntress

    If you're chasing multiple Survivors, Huntress can pressure all of them - Deathslinger cannot.

    I'm not saying Huntress will always or easily be able to down multiple people in quick succession like Nurse or Fury Mode Oni, but it's very possible to achieve using her power well.

    Deathslinger cannot. His power just doesn't allow for it.

    -

    Being able to snowball via rapid slugging, when you get an opportunity to do so, is what makes or breaks Killer games against competent Survivors.

    If you aren't getting multiple downs quickly or otherwise pressuring more than half the team, you'll lose your gens.

    Huntress actually has snowball potential and infinite range.

    Although personally i'd rather play deathslinger

    Huntress obviously. Deathslinger has to reel in and hit his prey.

    Huntress but Deathslinger is more annoying. So when it comes to irritation, deathslinger. When it comes to actually being viable, Huntress

    Huntress

    I enjoy playing Deathslinger more but Huntress if the better killer because she’s stronger at pallet drops and her one-two combo on healthy survivors is more reliable.
