The Pig is unbelievably unfair

Pig moves slower than you while in stealth (3.6 m/s), which is not exactly as fast as Wraith (5.06 m/s). Also to counter her stealth just pay attention...

If you have an active RBT on your head, don't bother doing anything and just try to get it off, never do gens if you have an inactive trap on your head.

Also her ambush is pretty weak, you can just leave the loop when she crouches.

I've actually heard there's a lot of Pig players on PS4 specifically. Why is that? lmao

Ok I always 3k or 4k with her because she was the only killer I played for 4 months. She took me a day to actually learn though, but I played her that entire day to master her which is more than just like 4 or 5 games. If you're facing a new Pig you're getting out 100%.

TOO BAD. I don't like playing against Hag but you don't see me making constant posts about her. Why? BECAUSE IT'S ONE KILLER OUT OF 22!

I'll try to give insight here as to why she's weak & easily counterable:

She's weak because:

• Traps: Her traps are pure RNG & this will always hurt her when playing against survivors that are efficient. As soon as that trap is activated, you're supposed to start working on Jigsaw boxes right away & will always be guaranteed to get it off of your head even with Tampered Timer. The ONLY time your head will ever pop is if you decide to put it off or if Pig is endlessly chasing you (which results in her inevitably throwing the game anyway). Not to mention, extra traps are useless at the endgame because a gen has to be done to activate it.
• Lunge: Her lunge is very predictable & doesn't even hit half of the time. Don't get me wrong, her roar gives her personality but damn does it eliminate the purpose of stealth lol. I will say that she can use her lunge in chases though, but you'll have to get really lucky to pull it off because competent survivors don't fall for it.
• Crouch: Her crouch has a huge delay when standing up & pretty much eliminates gen grabs unless you either manage to hide your red glow or get oblivious survivors. She needs to get the Ghostface treatment with no delay.
• Stealth: Her stealth is pretty bad because she has loud breathing & a big character model. I dunno about you, but she definitely doesn't blend in with the grass considering her character model sticks out by a mile.

How to counter her:

• Traps: As I said before, just be efficient. Stop putting it off, because if you do, your head has a better chance at popping & then you'll probably come back to the forums about how OP her traps are. Even with her best addon Tampered Timer, you WILL have more than enough time to get it off. Before you say "but traps are unfair because it takes so much time", not only does she have a limited amount of traps but searching through every single Jigsaw box shouldn't take more than like 1 1/2 minutes if that. Not a big deal.
• Lunge: Considering she has to make a war cry before she attacks, you should have enough time to react (especially with Sprint Burst). Even if you don't, you can usually bait her attack anyways because it's easy to make her miss it. Oh yeah, if she crouches near your pallet, just hold W to another one. She'll waste time un-crouching and will take a bit to catch up to you.
• Crouch: It's almost impossible to get gen-grabbed from a Pig unless you aren't paying attention as her crouch has a very noticeable delay. Just pay attention and you'll be fine.
• Stealth: Similar to what I said above, if you're paying attention just like you would with any other killer, you should be fine. The only time I'll agree with you is in indoor maps because you cannot see when they're coming half of the time, but the chance of getting one is low due to the fact that there aren't many in the game. If you're desperate & feel like you can never sense when she's coming, just use Spine Chill. Easy counter.

Pig is in need of a dire buff. She is very weak against survivors that know what they're doing & gets stomped on.

If all else fails, boop the snoot & she'll most likely let you go. Problem solved.

You've started multiple threads about the Pig being "OP", and that claim has been pretty easily refuted every time. The Pig is only as good as the person playing them -- they're far from OP.

If you're simply joking with each of these threads -- then carry on, I guess. :shrugs:

FYI: The "boop the snoot", if you are actually unaware of it, is something that a lot of Pig players respect. If things look bleak (and sometimes, even if they aren't), crouch in front of the Pig, approach them, and point at their nose. If the Pig crouches and growls without attacking, they're receptive to you "booping their snoot". Many Pig players will either then give you a free pass for a little while at that point and leave you be for the time being, or they will give you hatch/door if you're the last person left.

I play a lot of killers, but more Pig than others. If you boop me, you're guaranteed to live. I've let a whole group of four survivors farm and escape because they were waiting for me together downstairs in The Game, all ready to boop at the start of a match. I've let countless people live and get the hatch for the same reason. Not every Pig will do this, but when you're out of options, it's always worth a try.

I'm also on PS4 & have found that 80% of the time, they will be friendly if you do that.

But like I said, there are definitely some sadistic Pigs out there that just want to see the world burn.. so only boop the snoot if it's your last resort.

I will mention that whenever I end up playing Pig, if somebody boops my snoot & I'm not losing control of the game, I'll usually let them go. I dunno, I guess it's just a kindness thing.

Somewhat of a booping moment, lol.

I hate playing against pig much more than most people but calling her OP is just plain wrong

Of all the stealth based killers (who all kill me repeatedly because I am hot garbage playing against stealth based killers) pig is by far the easiest to counter. Unlike myers, she can't get 1 hit knockdowns as a reward for acting like a creepy little brother, unlike ghost face she can't expose survivors 2 at a time by peeking around the corner for a bit (with the most busted mechanic, you can look straight at him and not pop his stealth, or look the exact other way and somehow pop it from across the map)

Her traps suck as much as getting rid of the plague sickness effect, just with rng and the knowledge that she only has 4, at most 5 times during the entire match to play that trick, so you can conceivably take all of them out in the beginning of the match.

She's the only stealth killer I know of that announces her sneak attack, with a growl that must be from the movie, because as a gameplay mechanic it does her no favors.

Bait or garbage noob
