Did Stranger Things really happen?

Does anyone see Nancy or Steve around?

Anyone use their perks?

Anyone bumping into demogorgons? Or playing Hawkins lab much at all? I feel like i never ever see it.

    Rarely. But usually when I see a steve I let them die or target them, as every one I've seen teabags and lets me die on hook.

    But no, thankfully the wave of ST fanboys has subsided. Now its Ninjas time.

    I see Steve more often than either Nancy or Demogorgon. I see surge and inner strength sometimes.

    I bought the game and dlc for my girlfriend to get her into the game. We play Steve and Nancy together.

    My best map in the game for Killer and Survivor is Hawkin's Laboratory.

    I use Inner Strength a lot - and I see a lot of Steve's in my matches...even a few Demo's the last couple of days. Would love to see more Demo's in game!

    Every 3/5 matches there’s always a Steve, I never get the map as survivor but a lot as killer which sucks. I’ll see a demogorgon every now and then, I still tunnel Nancy for what she did to Steve, I use and see inner strength in a lot of matches. Pretty alive for me (PS4) but idk about other platforms.

    I main Nancy, use Inner Strength a lot. I also see a couple Steve's, he's got amazing cosmetics, but I'm just sad the devs forgot to give him perks :/

    I don't see many Demo's, but I think he's my third most played killer behind Pig and Huntress since his release.

    I see alot of Steve's and Nancy's. As for Demo, maybe 1 in 20 games I see it.

    If I get Hawkins, I am happy, at this point I know where the stupidly strong loop rooms are. As for the perks; Inner Strength, Head On, Quick and Quiet are fun together. Steve doesn't really have that many useful perks for MY play style. Nancy though, Fixated is a good perk, especially for knowing where and how I can skew my scratch marks through Coldwind corn, and the gen one (don't know the name off the top of my head) is useful when other people are running it, I just never run it myself.

    I like Surge for as underrated as it is. Combine it with new Ruin, Surveillance, and Thrilling Tremors and you have yourself the most solid detection of gens being worked on.

    As for playing any of them, Demogorgon gets played when I do random killer and dailies. But I am a Meg main and will continue to be for some time now.

    I’ve seen Steve and Nancy on a regular basis and Demogorgon is one of my favorite Killers.

  • DBD78
    DBD78 Member Posts: 3,470

    Yes I see them all the time, and Demogorgon is not one of the most played killer but many use him. I used him myself in around 15 games this week.

    WHAT?!

    Inner Strenght>Self Care In both BP of the progress and healing speed

    Fixated>Urban Evasion In both speed and combos with exhaustion perks

    Yeah... Steve was just cosmetic, no perks for me there...

  • EldritchElise87
    EldritchElise87 Member Posts: 628

    Inner Strength is meta, and Fixated/SB is a decent combo and Steves are very common, plenty of Hawkins.


    Hardly any Demos though, personally didn't touch him after I got his perks, feels too easily countered/dodged.

    I see Steve's and Nancy's all the time on PS4.

    Demo: only really sometimes but it's not never.

    As a solo queue survivor, I like to play with 'Better Together'. Sometimes I run 'Inner Strength' if I'm not bringing a medkit or Self-Care.

    Lastly, I'm pretty happy I don't land in Hawkins Lab all that often. That map is beautiful but I hardly ever escape as survivor.

    I’m one of the few that mains the Demogorgon, he’s not the best killer, but he is really fun to play with

    I have a prestige 3 level 50 Steve and run Second Wind and Camaraderie.

    I specifically run those two since I usually get hooked since I make my priority to help other survivors.

  • Falkner09
    Falkner09 Member Posts: 375

    people use Steve and Nancy, but not most of their perks except Inner Strength sometimes. Demogorgon is mostly a pay to lose character, so he's not too common. especially since he requires more setup than any of the other trap-based killers, yet gets no speed increase or anything to compensate.

    and the death of Ruin will worsen this.

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 16,358

    The Majority of Perks of this Chapter was bad, in fact, at least 4 Survivor Perks are wasted (I would say that all 6 are not worth taking) and at least 2, but more likely all of the Killer Perks are not worth a Perk Slot.

    Demogorgon is not that powerful.

    And well, I see Nancy and Steve from time to time, but most likely I see a Steve. However, there is one thing that needs to be considered with every new DLC: People already have their mains. They have their mains where they have all Perks unlocked. There need to be some really good reasons to change your Main, to actually grind a new Character completely.

    I see Inner Strength about every 4/10 games, but that's it.

  • BillyAndStu
    BillyAndStu Member Posts: 120

    Inner strength and Second wind are both pretty good and fixated is an ok option for jukes and sneakier builds. I still see plenty of nancys and steves personally.

    I like to mash up Barrowed Time with Babysitter. That makes it extremely difficult for camping and tunneling killers. Had a toxic doctor looking through lockers because he didn't realize that I used babysitter since he camped! 🤣

    Inner Strength was the only good thing to come out of the patch.

    Especially on the killer side, damn Demogorgon is just so underwhelming and unfun to play, and his perks are flat out overtuned garbage.

    I had an addiction to urban. Now I have an addition to fixated.


    Gotta move fast.

    I see them both a lot nowadays.

    Inner Strength is a really great perk. Encourages you to do totems and heals you quickly (good counter to anti-heal tactics).

    I like Fixated for the walking speed boost. I have a evader/juker build with Fixated, Sprint Burst, Urban Evasion, and Windows Of Opportunity that is a lot of fun to play because you move faster all around. Though for the record I HATE Urban with a passion, but mostly because the people that use it refuse to do anything but crouch walk everywhere. If you use it sparingly though, for times when you need it, I can accept you.

    I haven't really messed with Steve's perks yet, but I wanna try to find a good use for Second Wind. It seems... good... but Inner Strength is better sadly.

    I am a Steve main and have been in many random lobbies with at least one other Steve and a surprising amount of times everyone will be Steve for the meme and I see a lot of demodogs on Xbox

  • twistedmonkey
    twistedmonkey Member Posts: 4,296

    I use inner Strength but neither of the characters which is because I have more cosmetics on others. Survivors are just skins afterall.

    I do see a few of both around but rarely in the default skins.

    Demogorgon I dont see as many at all like one in every 30 matches and I have only played them a handful of times. I just prefer other killers like Huntress, Hag or Trapper as they suit my playstyle more.

    SpicyTopRamen Member Posts: 68

    Inner strength and fixated are the perks I see most often, and occasionally better together. I never see Steve's perks used anymore though.

    I see Steve and Nancy used just about as often as I see Jane and Ace used, which is quite a bit but not as often as say... Claudette or Nea.

    Hawkins Lab comes up for me as often as other maps. Demo I rarely see anymore, but I get really excited when I see one. BHVR did a fantastic job with the Stranger Things dlc overall, IMO.

    Also this is pretty much normal where reaching the mid chapter patch for cursed legacy the hype for ST has all but died out
