Tips or Tricks for the Twins?

I bought the twins but never play them, but I have been wanting to try them again. What are the strategies to play them efficiently? I know a lot of people say the twins are good at slugging and camping, but is that it? Also, what are some decent perk builds? Thanks.

    Pretty much, their strongest features are their ability to slug, tunnel, and camp. They excel at these things.

    The slugging isn't toxic so much as literally how you win with them, but it doesn't make them very fun to go against generally; especially given how annoying Victor's collision and such can be.

    I usually send victor out whenever I'm in a chase. Usually screws the survivor up and they make a mistake.

    Camping and tunneling doesn't feel necessary with them. You can play they that way but it's not mandatory. The thing with slugging is that you will most of the times be downing people with Victor and sometimes the downed survivor will be so far away that it would be just a waste of time to go and hook them, which makes me wish they had a similar ability to PH.


    On to the tips, the only thing I can say to you is placing Charlotte at the center of the map for most of them match. If you down a survivor as Victor, only come back if you get on the back of a healthy survivor or down someone else.

    For addons, use Forest Stew and Madeleine's Scarf for extreme speed and it prevents survivors from running around objects to endlessly loop victor's leap attack.

    You can use Charlotte to block windows/doors in a loop when swapping to Victor also. On certain maps with common loops this will help a lot.

    Try to avoid leaving Charlotte in the corners of the map, when you leave her in the center and start using Victor it will cut down travel time to the downed survivors or the survivors who tend to hide in lockers against him.

    Most importantly, most perks that work for normal killers don't function on Victor. You cannot see scratch marks, you cannot see auras, you get no effects from any perk that requires a basic attack. Pick your perks accordingly, such as corrupt intervention/ruin or things you may not normally pick like lightborn since you'll be using Charlotte often just for pickups and don't want that taken away from you.

    Pro tip: don't play them

    The twins have got to be the worst designed killer ever implemented, at least old freddy was unique and fun

    Your main goal with the Twins is to get three or more survivors injured and then slug with Victor. This can be hard to accomplish depending on the map and the survivors.

    Slugging is the most effective playstyle for the Twins because of how strong Victor is in chases. 150% movement speed is no joke.

    I also recommend running Deerstalker with the Twins so you can slug as much as you want.
