Killer Tier List on how well they can hook camp

Bubba: Self explanatory

Doctor: Im *pretty sure* that doctor can just span stock therapy on the hook, and the hooked survivor can never be unhooked.


A-Tier: Killers that can easily avoid borrowed time

Freddy: Just M1 the savior, and tada! no more BT!

Hag: Just spam traps near the hook and teleport back the moment the survivor is unhooked. The survivors will be forced to crouch, or trigger the traps and die.

Wraith: No TR

Ghostface: No TR

Pig: No TR

Myres: No TR/ or a VERY small TR


B-Tier: Killers that can stop the unhooker from getting too close, or able to hit multiple survivors

Huntress: M2 into an M!

PH: M1 into M2. Or just an M2 face-camp

Oni: Has a multi-target instadown

Hillbilly: Has a single target instadown

Plague: Most survivors will be broken, making them all instadowned


C-Tier: Nothing special, just has a slightly smaller TR, so it makes it easier to avoid BT, but otherwise doesnt really have too much to help him hook camp. Spirit should be here too, but i messed up and dont feel like fixing it.


D-Tier: Every other killer. They dont have much to help them camp hooks.

    I don't know if that last bit is a joke but legal purposes?

    There are some people who say every killer is op, im not trying to have one of my posts be used as a weapon for that lol, but that last bit is mainly a joke

    Dude Clown is much higher. He can interrupt people with his bottle

    Also the fact that Legion can get atleast two people with his frenzy after a camp also deserves him one spot up

    Spirit should be higher.

    You unhook, she just phases right back. The unhooked survivor will be the only one making sound (unless they have Off The Record, or if it's a Stridor Spirit it's an OTR/IW gamer), so will be easily downed again, effectively doing what Hag does and just ignoring BT.

    This is what happened to me against a Myers once. Once he finally caught me after I led him on a very long chase- he hooked me in a dead zone and he never went more than a couple of meters away from the hook so that he could immediately come back, ignore the unhooker, and then down and re-hook me all without BT being able to activate. I had no DS or exhaustion perk that was usable in the situation I was put in.

    (And then in the post game chat when I [POLITELY] asked out of genuine curiosity why he tunneled me out of the game before he could get any use of his perks [I was the obsession and he had multiple obsession perks that depended on keeping the obsession alive] he had the audacity to say that I didn't know what tunneling was and that he took me out because I was a horrible looper LOL)

    Anyways, I digress. Myers is definitely a better hook camper than at least Pig, Ghostface, and perhaps even Wraith, though.

    Doctor has a delay between shock therapies. It's tough, but you can get an unhook. I'd bring him down to A tier.

    Hag should be in S tier. Her power basically screams "CAMPER", especially with how slow crouch speed is.

    Doc can’t spam Shock fast enough to stop an unhook occurring without Discipline add ons.

    Clown shouldn’t really camp the hook, but he’s MUCH better than Doc at preventing an unhook from occurring with direct hits until he runs out of bottles, which usually ends up tricking survivors into falling for a grab if he fake reloads afterwards.

    Or is this specifically about avoiding BT?

  • Auron471

    Avoiding BT gives the killers a higher rating, followed by how well a killer is at preventing the unhook. This isn’t a perfectly thought out tier list though.

    I hope people dont look at this and start face camping because its the worst thing to do for both survivor and killer. Survivor gets screwed over while the other survivors get bp, while the killer gets screwed out of his pip or actual good bp count. When i play killer i just throw them on a hook and go "eh ill get em later". I dont give them free hook saves but i dont make out with the bill on the hook like everyone else does.

    I miss old Doc. Old Doc could actually grab in Treatment Mode (Shocking mode) and since there's no swing cooldown a Doctor can just go in front of the hook and mash M1 as fast as possible to "Auto-grab", even if someone tries to fake the unhook with a short click.

    huntress should be tent tier, if your stocked on hatchets you can chew down a healthy survivor and the hook survivor even if they have bt

  • MadLordJack

    Huntress is, unfortunately, the best. 5 hatchets is the whole team down. That being said, she's also the hardest, because you have to absolutely nail the hatchets. Don't believe me? Good, maybe hook campers won't either and we can have basic Bubba's.

    The fact you put Billy at Not-Tier S means you know nothing about hook camping. ;)

    Doc used to be even better at facecamping.

    By entering Treatment mode and spamming M1, you could guarantee a grab if somebody went for an unhook.

    No reaction, no baiting, no guesswork, nothing.

    Clown is better than you give it credit for. You can interrupt the unhook animation with a bottle throw. Most survivors will instinctively try again, and you will be able to get a grab when they do so.
