Why does it feel like ghostface is broken for a while now?

Is there a specific way that you have to expose him? Or do I have hope and pray to the dbd gods its gona work? I swear I look at him dead in his face and there's no exposing him while he's completly exposing me.

Can I run and move and expose him?

Is he harder to expose if ur looking dead in his face?

I swear I have stare offs with him and not even one single sound of me exposing him while he gets to sit there and stalk me.

Its seems like he's so inconsistent trying to expose him its honestly frustrating and annoying.

It feels like he's a killer that is unfinished by the devs.

I'm down for rework on how survivors expose him. Maybe have us crouch to expose him, or maybe crouching and walking can only expose him that way u have a choice of exposing him or running away, maybe he can only exposed from the back and the side. Idk whatever it is I just want a little more consistency.

I'm not complaining about killer vs survivor blah blah blah. Im just saying, if the devs are giving us a mechanic to counter ghostface stalking us, then at least make the damn thing work or be more consistent.

    Prey and hope it works. Or if you are Ghostface, pray and hope that it doesn't work.

    Having Ghost Face center in your camera is the only real tip that can be given but you can flip a coin to determine if you'll actually catch him or if he'll stare at you long enough to get the one hit kill shot...

    Yeah; it's a cool idea but I mean bhvr struggles with simple mechanics working properly let alone complex ones like Ghostface.

    The result is sometimes you'll have a staring contest at like 5 meters in daylight on Saloon and it will say you didn't see him; but you'll be stealthed somewhere not able to see him at all and suddenly he walks by and the sound of you starting to reveal him happens so he knows you're nearby and ends up stabbing you because of it.


    I like ghostface, but I find the unreliability of his power frustrating on both sides.

    Basically yeah you just have to look directly at him, although this can be difficult when he's leaning.


    Its not the best strat but when I'm vsing a Ghostface I try and out stealth him, if you can get a good angle it should give you enough time to snap him out of stealth

    cuz he has always been, his reveal mechanic is so stupid sometimes

    Whenever I'm ghost face I'm always getting revealed out of nowhere but I can never reveal him.

    Ghost faces power really needs some UI changes or something cuz it's either bugged or a feature or both. Like I had killers saying that u need to be able to see a certain percentage of him to pop his stealth and the grass gf was crouched in was enough to block him. Crouching also lowers the percentage threshold. The mechanic is super hard to play around without better feedback. Apparently it's not the only bugged killer.

    I think also 50% of his body needs to be in your camera, so if he is leaning behind something sufficiently large you won't be able to reveal him.

    I've had 100% of his body in my line of sight in the open too and nothing. I mean its def wonky on both sides but when I play against ghostface, I often come across many times where I can't expose him even out in the open looking dead at him. Yet it's no problem for him to stalk me just fine.

    Ghostface's(and Myer's) stalk is more lenient than the reveal mechanic. You could pretty much be anywhere on the screen. You just need a certain amount showning to be stalked by them.

    Ghostface requires you to have a certain amount of him showing in a certain area on the screen(towards the center) in a certain distance(that is modified by addons).

    Dude could just be running distance reduction addon and you aren't realizing it.
