What’s the jumpscare?

so I just went against a streamer, playing silent chainsaw Billy because he’s “going for jump scares” He downed someone, hooked them in the middle of the cornfield with zero cover then proceeded to hover around the hook on harvester and downing anyone that tried to unhook.

So I ask, what’s the jumpscare? This isn’t just a Billy think but all undetectable killers just camping.

    The jump scare is supposed to come from a Killer materializing on your six without any warning, when they traditionally have map-wide audio queues.


    The jump scare heavily depends on the killer hiding the fact they have silent saw and undetectable.


    Just remember there is a human element at play, and a person is entirely capable of ruining their own surprise. …so the effect may not have worked as intended.


    Edit: Personally, I find this style of play most effective when the killer behaves unpredictably. …camping hook is anything but predictable these days.
