    BBQ&C is very popular because of it's aura reading and BP bonus.

    Franklin's Demise is a laugh for messing up buffoons' flashlight game. Also gets rid of those troubling tool boxes and insta-heal medkits.

    Ruin is worth running as Leatherface has no real map pressure so it could slow down gen rush...unless the survivors cleanse the hex totem in the first 30 seconds of the match.

    And if you're feeling in the mood for some proper mischief...Insidious 🤭

    leather face is not really good except for basement protecting, other than that he is useful for his teachable of BBQ and chili for BP and aura reading, other than that play spirit,nurse, etc or you will have a hard time in the lower/higher ranks (the higher skilled players one, it is technically the low ranks but Im not sure what term to use for them since everything is opposite)

    Ruin - BBQ - Enduring - Spirit Fury

    Ruin - Dark Devotion - Tinkerer - M&A

    Ruin - PGTW - BBQ - Enduring

    PGTW - BBQ - Enduring - Bamboozle

    Ruin - BBQ - PWYF - Brutal Strength

    Ruin - Bamboozle - Enduring - Spirit Fury


    These are some powerful builds I've been using on him in red ranks since I main him. For addons you can go for:

    The Ultimate Pallet Destroyer-> Carburettor Tuning Guide & The Grease/Primer Bulb

    The Ultimate anti-loop-> Beast marks & knife scratches

    Or a mix between both-> Carburettor Tuning Guide & Beast marks

    I hope you have fun playing as bubbaboi :)

    Whatever you do, DO NOT USE BBQ ON LEATHERFACE!!!

    Reasons:

    • You do NOT have the map control / time to head off to a gen very far away just because a survivor works on it. You power literally is made to catch survivors unhooking etc.
    • Survivors EXPECT IT, will hide behind gen or in locker when you hook, leaving you no advantage whatsoever.
    • Use that Perk slot for PWYF, it will not work every game, but just one stack is a god sent, trust me. People will wonder why you catch them at the loop and be VERY surprised. Also it is a very underrated perk and you can gain 2 stacks in 15 seconds easily.
    • Leatherface has 1 hit down: only one PWYF stack lost.
    • PWYF also helps carrying survivor to basement, no Agitation needed! Leatherface can benefit greatly from basement plays!!

    That is correct, had a game going, at the very start I put 1 guy in the basement, there was never a time after that where the basement was empty.

    It just snowballed hard

    Pop goes the weasel,Play with your food, save the best for last ,enduring, spirit fury, bamboozle, brutal Strength (depending on your add ons),nurses calling, thanataphobia, dying light, noed, ruin, devour hope, monitor and abuse, bbq(For bloodpoints), Franklin’s Demise, whispers, bloodwarden, sloppy butcher, infectious fright, surveillance, haunted ground (to protect other totems), rancor, discordance, dark devotion, thrilling tremors, knockout and deerstalker are all perks that I’ve found useful.

    As for add ons, you’ll want beast marks and knife scratches, or beast marks and tuning guide and if you don’t have beast marks then knife scratches and tuning guide/primer bulb.

    I ise Leatherface a lot and do pretty good usually, even though he's God awful. I run ruin, pgtw, BBQ, noed.

    If you have trouble gaining BP, you can also use offerings to help out

    When you see a P3 Claudette in the game equip the P3 body and weapon with the Claudette mask


    10 bucks says they will DC immediatly


    Just ask @GrootDude He will tell you I am right

  • joker7997
    joker7997 Member Posts: 899

    It's not trouble getting BP's, you can use offerings with or without BBQ. It literally doubles the xp you get.

    I usually run this build on Leatherface:

    Ruin, BBQ, Agitation, Enduring

    This build generally worked for me when I play him. Ruin is completely luck based, but when it doesn't get cleansed, it can really slow the game down a lot. However, since Ruin sometimes gets cleansed at the start of the match more frequently at higher ranks, maybe switch to PGTW at some point. BBQ gives a great bloodpoint bonus and can help find survivors sometimes. Agitation is solid for bringing survivors to the basement and since Leatherface generally has a strong basement game, bringing survivors to the basement more often is not a bad idea. Enduring is just a good perk to help with chases overall.

    I'm not a bubba's main but I run ruin,blood warden,play with your food and hangman trick if I'm going against toolboxes. I normally switch out hangman for bamboozle tho or corrupt intervention.

    Pair Iron Maiden with BBQ, as every survivor subconsciously goes in a locker against a Leatherface. Even if you don't see their aura, their location is still given once they leave it.

    I think addons are more important fast chainsaw make him playable.

  • TheMidnightRidr

    I like to use Save the Best for Last on him. With Leatherface, you can still chase after the obsession and down them without losing any stacks. If you use your chainsaw on the obsession, no stacks are lost, however chainsaw hits won't gain any either.

    Insidious is really a must for bubba at this point. Do it for the meme

    Mister_Holdout Member Posts: 3,144

    Just so you know, Leatherface is the weakest killer in the game.

    As for builds:

    Ruin, BBQ, Enduring, and Spirit Fury if you want to try and win normally.

    Iron Grasp, Agitation, Mad Grit, and Insidious if you want to have some real fun.

    Run bbq

    Its basically a must for points and aura reading


    Ruin because ruin


    Yes play with your food is amazing on LF

    With pwyf you can get much more chainsaws then you usually do and you dont need to spend as much tokens when you chainsaw someone. It's underrated on him really.


    The 4th perk slot is really up to you

    I personally run either bamboozle or whispers.
