Since the changes with EGC how can I play pig as well ? I have a very hard time with her now against good survivors . What perks would you recommend and playstyle now with EGC?

    Use the RBTs when you can.

    Using crouch can hurt you more than you think, since you're so slow. Its useful for dash-attacking at unsafe pallets but that tactic relies on survivors who cannot see through what you're doing.

    This lady only thing the endgame collapse changed was the fact that you can't be as strategic with your traps.


    Before you had a lot more room to play around with them and strategically use them as you see fit some pigs even saved 1 or 2 for endgame.


    Now it's just kind of everytime you down a survivor put a trap on them unless they're on death hook

    I'd recommend checking out Scorpionz on twitch. He's a very high level Pig main and really illustrates how to use her ambush at loops.

    Surveillance is very good for her, can sneak back over to a surv on a gen who thinks you’ve left. Or, if you prefer, Discordance.

    BBQ is good for everyone but on pig allows you to head over there then sneak (don’t use sneak too much as you’re too slow)

    on that note, Monitor & Abuse allows you to get closer full speed before you have to crouch for stealth.

    Sloppy Butcher is decent because survs off hooks who have bear traps will take a long time to heal if they focus on removing it. Or, Thanatophobia to make use of their injuries or prompt healing which then lets RBT timer run.

    You might want the typical build for loopintg/stuns because she isn’t great (enduring spirit fury Bamboozle brutal strength etc) but I personally have fun and success with:

    Surveillance, M&A, BBQ & Sloppy Butcher

    BBQ is still nice for seeing which boxes Trapped Survivors are going towards.

    M&A lets you get closer to a gen before you need to crouch to hide your TR

    Whispers lets you know with certainty when to crouch and uncrouch if you want to sneak up on gens, especially if you use M&A to reduce your TR so that Whispers activates before the Survivors can hear the heartbeat.

    Spirit Fury + Enduring is always decent on most Killers
