Help with Billy

I've never really played Billy at all. I know people say he's op but his steering is absolutely atrocious to me. Could anyone give me some tips for him? I do well with other killers like Daddy Myers, Hag, Clown but I can't play Billy for some reason. Am I doing something totally wrong? Any advice please :)

    Only thing skilled on billy is driving him long distances. But most people just run up and insta saw. Driving him takes a lot of practice, unless you use turning add ons to help

    If you are playing with a mouse and keyboard...

    When you use A or D to turn... Reaching the top of the turning curve is slower.. so slower turning..

    If you use the mouse and go left or right, it will reach the top of the turning curve really quick.. so fast turning..

    Some people map that mouse turning to Q and E so they can do "flicks" near the end of their chainsawing.

    That's literally the only thing that doesn't require any practice whatsoever. The only thing that takes ages to master is chainsaw flicking around pallets and stuff like I did here @ 4:17


    Other than that there's nothing to learn about Hillbilly.

    I'm in the same boat, as I cannot play this killer. This and the nurse are my two least played killers.


    At one point I was playing multiple rounds of billy to try and learn him, but after, ya know how a survivor gets stuck in a corner by a billy and it's a free chainsaw? Yeah I missed that. Haven't played him since. I should revisit him since my darling spirit is clearly going to be bugged for life :')

    @Yamaoka that's scary. Not even gonna lie, that's terrifying that a Billy on Xbox can do that. I thought I was the only one. Have you faced a SecretSphinx7 by any chance?

    @Poweas I think I haven't seen that gamertag before. Is he an EU player?

    And yes, I can tell people are often surprised when I start chainsaw flicking around objects because it's kind of difficult to do it precisely with a controller haha.

    It depends on what you're looking for. I used fast charge addons with a strong combined cooldown during that particular game which allowed me to spam the chainsaw all the time giving me huge map pressure whereas Hillbilly's speed-addons (death- and doom engravings) are way better for chainsaw flicking as combining them results in a 310% movement speed which makes it nearly impossible to dodge the chainsaw attack if you chainsaw-flick around corners/pallets/other map structures.
