    Aim a bit in front of where they're running, you can lunge at them at your usual lunge range from the harpoon if needed, and if they're exposed or you're running stbfl it counts as a basic attack.

    Swap to PC? xD

    Seriously I have no idea my dude, I used to strafe to aim that little bit in shooters on console does that help? I mean, honestly anything with aim like nurse or the likes is going to be harder with a controller than PC where it was intended.

    Take two strings of floss and run them from corner to corner across your screen/monitor so that they cross in the middle. Then cut a tiny triangle/square piece from the sticky portion of a sticky note and place it in the middle of your screen. Remove the floss.

    You now have an aiming reticle that should help with aiming.

    Theres travel time once youre above 10 or so meters. Try to pre aim round LOS blocker jungle gyms to suprise the survivor.


    Sometimes its best to inflict deep wound and drop the chase for another survivor.

    Reload add ons are fantastic if youre still learning how to land hits

    I'm gonna guess Deathslinger is next to unplayable on console compared to PC but I suppose one technique you could try and adopt is not moving your gun as much, and waiting for the survivor to juke into your sights, like you would do with Huntress. Unless you're a god, going for pop-shots isn't really gonna be viable so you might want to try and play a more patient way and wait for the survivor to do something.

    He's fine on console. Some people just aren't good at FPS is all.
