Deathslinger strats

Got 20 bucks for my birthday so I bought the rest of the killers a didnt have and out of all of them (blight, twins, pig, slinger) Im finding deathslinger to be a bit easier to pick up.

but of course with learning new killers comes pain, but with slinger its less. DOes anyone know videos or good strats to use with deathslinger to learn him easier? Im doing pretty good, but i am constantly missing shots and realizing that I shouldve reloaded before certain times.


Also, is it just me, or when slinger first aim, is it a bit higher? For example, ill be locked on a survivor and aim to shoot, but I end up shooting a foot over their head. Might just be where I keep my camera though

    When I started playing him, I realized quickly that I'm conditioned to aim for the head from years of fps games.

    Soon as i started actively aiming for body shots, my accuracy went way up.

    Maybe that's why my shots are going so high. Too much COD zombies.


    Me and my brother used to have a competition on transit for BO2 to see who could get the most headshots. Was always close as hell.

    Good idea for the body shots though, I'll take that into consideration

    Run STBFL, always.

    Also try to aim depending on where your target is gonna be. On a small loop aim a bit downwards, shooting long range aim at about lower chest height.

    Never shoot when survivors are in the open unless they literally just run in a straight line.

    Try to be unpredictable, don't always shoot but don't always ADS bait.

    Go for fancy shots for fun.

    Run corrupt or pop or both. Don't be a "casual" or "pOp gOeS tHe bRaInCelL" gamer. Just don't be dumb. Run what you want.

    NOED is a good pick.

    Slinger is one of the most tilting killers to learn, hence why you see a lot of baby slingers and not many good ones. If you plan on learning him and getting very good with him know he is the most inconsistent killer in the game and people will be toxic towards you given you aren't destroying them.
