More tips to face against a nurse?
It seems like whenever I'm in an open map I always have the worst time. I can't do anything because the line of sights are far away. An tips to help play against really experienced nurses?

Have you considered the fact that pallets are actually completely unfair for killers? I mean, I never expect survivors to understand the plight of the common killer, but a completely empty map (though still survivor-sided) is the closest thing we'll ever get to a fair map. And don't even get me started on swf

LMAOOOO

Helpful and relevant, 100%. Well done.

There's pretty much nothing you can do against a really experienced nurse on an open map other than trying to get as much distance as possible.

Well against nurse the best thing you can do is using object in a open map.
since we have "aim assist" nurse hits mostly the objects instead of the survivor (doesnt happen all the time)
try to double back and always look at her hand (direction where she aims) and listen how long she holds her blink the longer she holds the farther/further (my english is not my first language sorry) she can blink. to understand nurse from the survivor perspective its better to actually play her.

Uh Wha?

The only tips I know against very experienced nurses is lose LOS and DH.
There is nothing you can do against an amazing nurse.
1 -
Gotta play a good nurse to beat a good nurse.
Sorry if that isn't entirely helpful or sounds like I'm trolling.
I'm not.
But a really good nurse can mind game, get accurate hits, and clean house in minutes.
My only other advice is to time her cooldown and track her perks.
Example: if she has surge, get as fast from gens as possible while in chase.
1 -
A good Nurse will just kill you. With no LoS blockers, it's not even that hard, she just has to blink in such a way that makes any and all mindgames you might try to pull completly redundant. If you're going up against a good Nurse, just make sure you're healthy and sprint forward in a straight line, because that's your only defence.

When I play survivor and I'm against nurse, I have the time of my life. You can abuse many things vs a nurse like juking (doubling back, turning unexpectedly, looping normally and doubling back last second so she misses her blink, breaking los)
But if she's a good nurse, you're pretty much dead anyways. You need to notice her blink pattern and try to predict it (is she trying to predict where you'll go, or she's just blinking where she last saw you? ECT.)
2 -
Honestly, run to places where are a lot of blockers of line of sight and be as unpredictable as you can. If you really wanna play good against nurse i highly recommend playing her like 20-50 matches and you will learn from surviviors you verse how to juke her. I learnt A LOT from playing her and reaching rank one with her, now most nurses just give up on me as soon i reach some building or good jungle gym.
1 -
Run into their dash forcing them to overshoot you.
Go into buildings. Especially multistory ones.
Hell some buildings are probably still deadzones for blinking.
Iirc, flashlights prevent a nurse from being able to blink. She, and wraith get "light burned." Hag suffers from light burn differently in they destroy her traps.
I mean you probably can't run forever but there's things you can do.
3 -
You need LOS blockers. Any will do. Even the junk tiles near the edges of the maps can be useful. You just need to force the Nurse into prediction blinks. Break line of sight but also keep your camera on them so you can see where they're aiming. Be ready to move when they blink.
Doubling back will maybe work one time on a good Nurse, but it will get you hit every time after that. It's kind of hard to describe, but you want to block LOS in sort of a Z pattern. Most survivor take one corner and that's it. You usually have time for 2 LOS blocks on her first blink if you have good initial distance. The idea is to force the Nurse into a very precise second blink with some distance to it. Don't give her an easy 1-2. Don't be afraid to take a corner at a jungle gym and straight up run to the wall of the map if it's beyond her second blink range. Remember that she has fatigue+recharge.
The thing that helps me most with running Nurses is doing 1v1s in custom lobbies. You start at an agreed distance, say go, and start the chase. Rinse/repeat for as long as the medkit lasts and re-roll the map. You'll do more chases in an hour against a Nurse than you'll do in months of regular games, and you can guarantee the Nurse is good this way.

This is a completely irrelevant response, that has next to nothing to do with the post.
You want to talk about pallets being unfair to killers, start another post.
2 -
Double back rarely works anymore. Most Nurses I’m up against seemingly have the ability to stop mid blink at exactly where I am, no matter how unpredictably I try and run.
0 -
You just die. Good Nurses are the sweat squads of Killers because they will always, always, win. No cap.
1 -
I was simply elaborating on my thoughts related to the topic. You, on the other hand, decided to attack another poster.
Maybe turn that mirror around on yourself.
1 -
I wasn’t attacking. I wasn’t using slurs or profanity. I will agree I was blunt in pointing out the fact that it wasn’t a relevant thing to bring to the conversation. “What-about-ism” rarely garners a positive response.
0 -
Please don't attempt to gaslight me into believing that you weren't attacking me. You clearly don't understand what it's like to be a top tier killer player in the game, and your continual insistence that I was venturing into "what-about-ism" is extremely offensive and ahistorical.
1 -
Break line of sight and always look for opportunities to hold W to gain distance. Also, be unpredictable in your movements and don't overuse the "run back into her strat." If the nurse is good, that won't work for long, if at all. But the best strat against any one of the mythical, maybe 10 - 20 literal god nurses? Nothing.
Otherwise, pray they suck or that your team sucks less. I think that's the best strat imo.
0 -
Please stop with this nonsense, all I asked was tips to handle going against nurse and your bringing up irrelevant topics like pallets being unfair for killers. I didn't ask for it. I don't care to talk about what your saying and you can talk about but do it somewhere else and not on a post that had nothing to do with it.
And fyi even though I am a survivor main I do understand the struggle killers have to go through. Please don't make a hasty generalization about survivors.
1 -
1.get distance
2.break line of sight
3.try for jukes ie running back toward the nurse whenever you think they will release the blink and reversing when they arrive at their new location

It is unacceptable for multiple users to gang up on a single person, conversationally. As soon as the other user directed a response towards me, our conversation ceased to be your business-- and since you do not pay for the online space that this forum occupies, you do not have the right to demand anything of me or any other user. Please try to stay professional and courteous, as I have thus far.
1 -
LOL. You are being ridiculous. You are also de-railing the topic, so please be more "professional and courteous".
4 -
Please do not enter the topic and immediately jump to insulting other users, thanks.
1 -
Well it is sorta my business since its on a post that i created and since it seems like your starting to have altercations with another person I decided to step in and stop it. I'm not a moderator but I still felt the need to do so.
Sir please take your comments about pallets and survivor sided maps on your own post or someone else's post that relates to it. I don't want it here as it could cause unnecessary conflic, especially considering the fact that it has nothing to do with my original post.
0 -
I'm only continuing to respond to others who directly converse with me. Your feelings on the matter are irrelevant. This is a forum.
1 -
Can you enlighten us on how Nurse and Pallets are related?
4 -
When you begin a match as the Nurse, what do you find on the map? Pallets
1 -
Almost there, now how is this a helpful tip?
2 -
Do you also need a roadmap to find the bathroom in your home?
1 -
I think a surv should get double bloodpoints for managing to smack a Nurse with a pallet.
3 -
So instead of helping or contributing to this post, you would rather create a new account and troll? Sad life man
5 -
Not sure what the "new account" stuff is about, since I've only ever posted with this account, but maybe take a second to breathe and then respond again
1 -
I was not insulting anyone, let alone multiple users. I was saying your opinion was ridiculous (which it is) but you are a troll, I recognize that.
4 -
And then you had to make sure that you came back into the topic to declare it? For who? Who's that for?
C'mon, stop pretending. Clearly you were personally offended, as a survivor main, by my completely reasonable post. And now you're letting your anger drive you to continually try to get my attention.
1 -
How do you know if he is a survivor main? So if someone disagree with you they only disagree because they are a survivor main?
0 -
If the Nurse is good, there's really nothing you can do as a survivor.
That's my tip, haha.
0 -
Keep in mind her CD's.
If she misses a blink strike, you've got a 3 second fatigue and 6 seconds of blink recharge time to work with.
During that time, unless you run into her, she can't close distance on you, so use that time to find areas with LOS breaks, ideally areas that either have multiple subsequent break (old Azarov's main building) or areas that have a break with multiple paths (if the breakable wall is down, the side door on Badham's playground side).

This is all public. That's what a "forum" is. This ain't private, everyone's free to jump in, and you hardcore whattabouted and have been popping off buzzwords like a clickbait ad in some vain attempt to paint yourself as a victim even though we can all see your initial comment.
A bit of advice, reply to the post instead of bringing up a different topic and you won't have multiple people pointing out that you brought up a different topic and tried to create an argument about that one.

hold W and make distance, hug main building and abuse LOS Breakers

I'm hoping @BigBrainMegMain might know the answer to this, they probably won't but they can definitely help you better then I can.
0 -
My favourite color is blue.
Beside LOS you have nothing in a chase against a good nurse unfortunatly. Sorry for the bad news.
Perks like Iron will and Spine chill will help you out a bit.
0 -
Play like a Rank 20. If I can't read your movement, I can't hit you. I have seen survivors running behind a wall and then just run away while I did a 200 iq calculation and missed.
Usually after 2 - 3 Blinks I understand of how a survivor trys to bamboozle me.
Indoormaps are your friend and Corn too. This makes reading movement a lot harder for a Nurse. And multiple floors are great for you too. Ever been chased by a Nurse who would down you with the next hit and see her disappear because the basement was below you?
Listen to her Blinks. Everytime she blinks 2 times, you have a 6 Second window where she can't blink twice (not counting addons). Basically free time on Gens.
Jumping in a locker may work.
Don't get overconfident. Even without her blinks she can down you. She still can mindgame pallets.
0 -
No they aren't. Without palettes chases would end in 20 seconds and survivors would be dying wholesale.
As for nurse. As with all killers, getting caught in a bad spot is just as it sounds. Bad. versing a killer is about not getting caught in bad places -- and bad places are different depending on the matchup. I'm not very good at the game but basically you have to be aware of the map and where not to hang around when it's risky. It's all a balancing act with being aggressive doing gens though so I really don't have the answer for you.
The better solution when versing Nurse is to just not be seen. Play stealthy. Nurse is one of the easiest killers to stealth because she moves slower than anyone else and when she blinks her vision isn't the best, and she gets dizzy after. Lots of ways to stealth and juke, but you need to be specced for it and you can't choose what build to play and what killer to go against. If you're not specced for nurse you're going to have a hard time, like going up against hag without Urban.
In a chase you have the right idea. Break line of sight and run around obstacles. But note that a good nurse will get you every time even in favorable terrain. There is no defense against a good nurse except stealth.

Now I'm just confused, I don't even know what you're talking about. Trolling successful I guess? Do you get a kick out of wasting people's time? Don't answer. It's rhetorical.
0 -
Well go ahead and tell the person that's forcing you to respond and "waste your time" that I'm giving them the rest of the day off
1 -
What about the dead zones that survivors are starting to have because there's no pallets due to the new random pallet spawns also have you forgotten there are no safe pallets basically its an easy win for you killers. Take that somewhere else.
0 -
Key statement, "but if she's a good Nurse..." haha. Yeah basically, a good Nurse won't be fooled or deterred by any typical survivor strategies - she'll get the blink, and the hit, without much effort. I played a Nurse recently that ended the game with 4 kills in what couldn't have been more than 4 minutes. It was an incredible feat on her end, and obviously embarrassing for me lol. Wish I'd recorded it.
0 -
lol I've tried but.
It's just LoS the Nurse, you have to play sporadically, unpredictable. If you double back and the Nurse knows it, stop doubling back. You have to learn, and adjust for every Nurse you face.
But completely unpredictable.
