To all the bubba mains. Please help me.
So I just got done grinding for ruin, devour, discordance, infectious fright, and pop goes the weasel and am now going for bbq and well the other killers made more sense to me sure they were kinda difficult to learn ( at least until i want nurses calling ) but i seem to keep messing up as bubba. Like whenever I go for a saw it seems like no matter how wide I take it I always hit a wall plus im just not the best bubba. So any tips and tricks you guys have plus any build ideas would be great ( add-ons are the thing id like the most help on build-wise I feel like the chili is important but not sure what to bring with it ).
Please and Thank You.

Not sure if it's just me or the game but some objects on the reworked maps really weird/wonky hitboxes that are really frustrating as Billy and Bubba.

Curving around objects is all just practice and knowing the object hit boxes. It comes with time.
As for builds I run Nemesis, PWYF, Bamboozle, and Pop. I tell you this build is scary to see as a survivor against a Bubba. You end chases so fast. This build makes it so you never respect any pallet. If they greed it you get a free down with a chainsaw in the back and if they throw it you just break the pallet, get your free PWYF stack, and drop chase.
Now I don't run a tracking perk as I find it unnecessary as I can generally gauge survivor location simply through experience but I understand most people will want to run BBQ, Discordance, or whatever your tracking perk preference is. If I was dropping one I'd take the Bamboozle off. Bamboozle is one of those perks that is unnecessary in most matches, but the rare time you run against those sweat squads that actually know how to loop it will feel essential. I don't mind giving up a situational perk slot on most matches to have it on the matches where I really need it.
Most people don't realize how much Bubba was buffed in his rework and they vastly underestimate how fast and how far his chainsaw goes now. You can make near 2+ times around a loop depending on the which loop it is. You can also start your sprint quite a distance away from a survivor and catch up to them before it's ended.

Keep playing and you will get better. Also dont watch yt videos, they will not make you any better.
My personal build if you ask me, is BBQ, infectious, corrupt and bamboozle.
I recommend getting bamboozle for bubba. since it covers your only counter, which is windows :P

Dont you lose your PWYF-stacks with new Bubba to quickly? Or are you using always only one charge?
1 -
You need practise to land those Chainsaw Sweep, you need time for that.
My favourite build recently is: BBQ + POP , Spirit Fury + Enduring (tho now pallets are a bit broken it is not so effective as it used to be pre Trickster patch)
0 -
No it's per chainsaw use. I'm very rarely ever using m1 either. You'll get lots of stacks through Nemesis and not respecting pallets as well.
0 -
You do realize that each token consumed removes a pwyf stack. Like suppose you have 3 tokens, if you use his chainsaw, it will go 2-1-0 in single chainsaw sprint. If your at PWYF stack 1 and you activate chainsaw, you will be at base speed. Unless your using his iri add-on(Carburetor tuning guide) to convert his chainsaw into 1 sprint, Nemesis+PWYF is not worth it. leatherface's iri add-on are terrible. they reduce your base movement speed in his chainsaw and remove control over when your chainsaw ends.
I have seen bubba run this as survivor and I do not understand logic, can you enlighten me?
1 -
I figured our the yt thing the hard way i looked up like 10 videos and they did nothing for me which is why im here in the first place. Also that build is scarily close to mine which is bbq, infectious, bamboozle, and PWYF don't know why PWYF is there cause I feel I don't need it so ill try corrupt it seems to be really nice right about now
1 -
Yeah, corrupt sometimes fixes your early game mistakes :P
0 -
Yes but you're rarely getting over 1 stack anyway as that's consecutively getting you downs before they just sit there stacking.
0 -
you don't get it. if your at 1 stack and you use chainsaw on first charge, you lose your 5% boost. It consumes a token on chainsaw release and if your telling me that your charge 2-3 tokens with pwyf than using it, well you could lose all 3 tokens in a single rev.
I am just trying understand your leatherface logic for using this perk.
0 -
The point of the 5% tokens isn't for chainsaw speed, it's for positioning right before starting the chainsaw. IE to catch them out of position and just generally map pressure for that matter.

I personally find it easier to turn only with the mouse so I hold w and do a 90° flick with the mouse build bbq bamboozle pop or ruin and anything you want
Addons his best is chilie and speed together but you can work good with just one
Ps bubba isn't my main but I very much enjoy him
0 -
why would you need positioning with leatherface's chainsaw. this is not billy. just rev from super far back, your increased speed will allow you to eventually catch up next to the survivor after you get 2nd/3rd charge. you need plan ahead as leatherface. not play in the moment. you should be able to look at a survivor from like 15 meter away and understand ahead of time whether you will catch up to the survivor or whether that survivor will make to the window. It reminds me of players who play legion and only feral frenzy when they're pointblank next to a survivor.

Everyone has their own way of playing him. As bubba I run brutal,fire up and enduring with STBFL.
0 -
Any of you bubbas like running Trail of Torment? Seems like it could be decent with pop.
0 -
Again, all the perks that make little sense. Brutal strength+fire up on the killer that has fastest pallet break in the game. STBFL is a perk that allows you to undermine the sprint burst from taking hits on healthy survivors to get quick 2nd hits but bubba has base-kit instant down. Instant downs already deny sprint bursts from healthy survivors so why do you need a perk for this? Bubba play at pallets already really strong, you can almost always avoid pallets stuns as killer, Enduring is a wasted perk slot.
there is no real alternative playstyle. most killers have 1 strength and single optimized way of playing them. There are some killers that have more than one playstyle, but that alternative playstyle is the result of an add-on. If you want to play "another" playstyle, just play another killer. there is 23 of them, so there is at least 23 other play-styles.
Leatherface is popular killer to face now a days, but I feel like not many people optimized his chainsaw usage to full extent. I was just curious for what goes on in peoples minds when they run some of these perks on these killers. I'd probably suggest for the OP to run BBQ+Bamboozle+Pop goes weasel+Tinkerer and to use award chili+beast marks. If you can't get these add-ons, yellow chili and primer bulb is decent.

Sadly I do not have a pc i play on xbox so thats the main problem I have brought up my sensitivity enough to sort of emulate a mouse buuuut it doesn't emulate well but thank you for the add-on ideas i figured chile was best but i didn't know which other to bring with it.

Not a Bubba main but I'm pretty solid with him. Are you a console player?
0 -
I am sadly

Bubba is pretty difficult on console, I play on PC so I can't really help you. I do have some perks you would probably benefit heavily from.
Bamboozle is a great counterlooping perk for Bubba. Enduring + Spirit Fury also removes one of his counters, pallets. You can also use my favorite Bubba build, a hex build: Crowd Control, Undying, Retribution, and Ruin. Retribution allows you to see auras every now and then if your totems get cleansed and be able to get downs. Crowd Control is an excellent chase perk that blocks windows for survivors during chases. Ruin is for slowdown, and Undying is for support.

Hmm this build seems cool the only question is what if i do not have retribution i have not yet started deathslinger would BBQ be a good substitution. If not what would be?
0 -
Hmm... you could try Undying + Crowd Control, and BBQ + Pop instead.
0 -
Aight that could work. So now i have 2 builds to try but do you have any add-on ideas someone mentioned chile and speed what about you?
0 -
IMO his best add-ons are the Chili add-ons (increases chainsaw duration) and his engravings (the ones that increase his speed). The best add-on combo for him is Award-Winning Chili and The Beast's Marks. However, since his engravings increase his charge time, it's better to use them once you're more experienced with Bubba, so I'd recommend both of Bubba's chili add-ons instead.
Good luck!

I play Bubba a ton at rank 1 and I’d say the primer bulb is almost just as good as the yellow chili if you are combining it with a chili.
There’s a lot of cases where you need all 3 charges to get rid of a pallet loop and then the survivor gets to another pallet right nearby. It’s very nice to have them come back much faster.
Light chassis is great as well for wallhacks, especially on indoor maps.
Iri flesh is good too but kind of relies on the survivors being bad to work.
For my build I usually do discordance, tinkerer, pop, bamboozle. Sometimes I swap out the tinkerer for monitor and abuse. Discordance is just amazing on any low mobility killer and especially Bubba since finding multiple survivors sets you up for potentially a game ending multi-saw. Tinkerer is free chainsaws a lot of the time, and good information at the worst. Pop is just the most reliable stall perk, and bamboozle is too good on Bubba to ever take off.

I run a meme build on him. I know how he work and I play him before his pre-work. I just don't bothered with a meta build on him cause why should I?
0 -
Do you ever use trail of torment as a 4th perk?
My current build is pop/m&a/bbq/tinkerer and was planning on adding Discordance somewhere (it's so good).
I like your style! I'm not red ranks tho.. so not sure about bamboozle yet.
0 -
I have tried it but haven’t been too impressed. It has counters, and doesn’t work well with pop or ruin. If the gen is not worked on enough your pop makes the gen go to 0 but it still goes on cooldown without helping you. Monitor and tinkerer are the most consistent stealth perks I find.
For that build I’d dump BBQ or monitor for discordance. I basically don’t go into games without corrupt or discordance on low mobility killers. Some maps you can guess the spawn locations but others you can’t and a wrong guess will cost you your first gen easily. I have been preferring discordance over corrupt since it helps you all game and let’s you know if you need to drop a chase or not.
I only run both monitor and tinkerer if I’m offering an indoor map, otherwise I feel like I get more value out of other perks and just use one.
I never take off Bamboozle. Some people use endfury but I think it’s overkill. If you are playing well you don’t really get stunned much and instantly break pallets anyways. And it won’t help you at jungle gym or the shack which is where good survivors will run Bubba forever.
I’ve tried crowd control and it’s better than bamboozle, but totems are totems and sometimes it dies in the first 10 seconds of the game. It’s definitely not good enough to dedicate undying to it either; you might as well do ruin or devour at that point.

I run BBQ, Bamboozle, POP & Whispers (I only have 3killer level 40, I'd run Infectious Fright)
BBQ for blood points with the added bonus to see if some survivor are far away.
Bamboozle because you can get rid of some pallet even faster, it's map & tile dependent and not really needed when you know your timing. If you want to get those timing you need to try and sometime, especially when you start, you'll miss. My advice, look at some good Bubba on Youtube/Twitch and check their add-ons & timings.
POP, if you down a survivor and know there's a gen at 33-50%+ not to far you can get so much value. Surprisingly many survivor will tap the gen/try to do it alone when you're still not far away and can nullify all their work. This perk depend on the survivor and & fast you can down them near a worked gen.
Infectious Fright tell you if there's a survivor nearby, protecting you from flashlight save/pallet save, get even more pressure by having one down and chasing an other survivor or just destroying 1-2 pallet then go back to the downed survivor.
