Tips for playing against the clown

Drop em below. I ######### hate the clown. Having smoke that slows you is bullshit considering it makes you move almost as slow as crouch walking so let me have them tips. I'm hoping for something revolutionary but you know dodging them and trying to dodge his attacks just doesn't work.

    He is a low tier killer, get to rank 1 and u will see him just as often as Wraith.

    You're right I don't see him often but I'm rank 3 and generally don't have much trouble with killers but him.

    Change the loop when he preps it, thats basically his counter. Dont get scared and dont waste pallets

    Look behind you, you see his bottles and they fly really slowly

    He loses a fair bit of ground each time he throws a bottle. He'll only make that back up if you get hit by the gas. When you see him start to throw it, change directions. Even if you've got a good thing going where you are, you should have enough time to get to another pallet/window nearby by the time he catches up.

    If they've actually mastered the clown and can plan two steps ahead of you no matter where you go, good luck. Though the same could be said about people who have mastered any killer.

    Pallets counter the clown you need to bait pallets out longer in chases as much as possible and not waste them. Dead harding through his poison can help too, also urban evading circle spin in the poison can help juke. Main issue is if clown camps, he can get some easy hits and tunneling by just staying within bottle range of the hook and punishing altruistic team mates.

    Pallets totally don’t counter the clown, his main strength is stopping loopers on pallets with the aftertonic piece in the pallet area and then bamboozle for window infinites , its better to keep moving , misdirect and cause him to waste bottles+time while you break LOS and escape, pallet looping the clown will get you killed if they even know how to use him the slightest bit
