How to Counter Leatherface

Bubba is fairly easily to play against assuming the person playing him isn't the 1% that is a literal Bubba in the flesh.

Here's a few tips I can give ya:

• Vaults: Vaults are easily your best friend when playing against a Bubba. Unless he has Bamboozle, he is practically forced to give you an M1 instead of a chainsaw attack due to delay in revving, assuming you don't mess up your routing.
• Pallets: This is by far my favorite tip to give when going against a Bubba. 80% of the time, Bubbas will respect pallets when revving because they don't want to get stunned out of it. It's better to take the risk & run another loop than to drop it early out of fear & end up in a deadzone.
• Awareness: Just like Hillbilly, don't get caught in the open. If you see a gen in the cornfield & a gen inside a jungle gym, priotize the gen in the jungle gym instead. Make sure you always have something around you, because being caught with your pants down will end up being your demise.
• Collision: Bubbas are very prone to tantrums. Baiting them into objects as well as hugging corners are things you must learn to do when playing against him, especially if you're in a deadzone.
• Sprint Burst!!: Tired of playing against Bubba so often? Sprint Burst is literally made for killers like him & you're almost guaranteed to get away every single time. Perfect for doing that gen in the cornfield.

Here is a match from me vs bubba, not the best play from me but here you can see some of things that works.

Aslo try not to get out in the open.

Looping windows against Bubba can be much better than pallets but you have to be careful because he still can M1 you. Best thing you can do is playing immersed so he doesn't find you lol

Thing is the pallet one is also a tip for bubba, don’t respect any pallets, more often then not, doing this will get you the down. Worse is you eat a stun but if that bugs ya run enduring and just no respect

Just like Linux, Bubba's greatest weakness is Windows, babe. You want him to be in the uncomfortable position of choosing between M1 and give you distance or risking hitting the window with an M2. Doing so makes him no better than a normal M1 killer.

Also when facing Bubba, never group up with teammates. Everyone split up as much as possible.

No, OLD BUBBA was one of the weakest killers. New/Current Bubba is a legitimate threat you need to take seriously.

Best advice? Make friends with windows. Once those are blocked or if he has Bamboozle, then give him the pallet. Don't even bother trying to greed it.

You need to play very safe with Bubba. If you make a single screw up, you're dead

Hm.. I guess every single Bubba I went against in over 1k hours has been bad going by your logic. Crazy.

The reason why I'm saying Bubba is easy to go against for the most part is because if you use vaults & all the other resources to your advantage, he is practically forced to give you an M1 & turns into a 2-hit regular M1 killer rather than a one-shot killer. Getting M1'd by him is your main goal because you obviously don't want to get chainsawed.

Yeah, I understand that good Bubbas have seen all of this & will probably play around a lot of it, but these are just general tips.

Yea I just don’t respect any pallets and once they catch on, thats when i start respecting. Then from there i keep them guessing if I will respect or not.

If they don't drop them and they run the long way they go down, survivors always assume the long side is the best side to loop on pallets

I understand; his instadown makes him incredibly simple to play. However, that means he has some simple counters.

The counter to him is the typical suspect for good looping; always know where you're going next. If you can chain loops together, you're safe. Another important thing is to always keep your distance from him; if you see him coming to your generator, don't stealth, just run to a loop (This is where windows of opportunity becomes a decent perk). Most Bubbas will always go for chainsaws, so finding tight loops with safe windows is key. Getting anything between you and the killer, whether a wall, window, pallet, or just distance, is crucial.

Another important thing is to always know where he is; because his chainsaw doesn't allow him to cancel easily, and penalizes him for bad judgements, his mindgames are severely limited. Looking behind you becomes especially important here.

Running tight loops is a bit more risky, but yields a much greater reward. Most bubbas will know the nuances of hitboxes, but eventually they'll get screwed over by janky boxes. Don't try smooth objects like trees, but janky objects with sharp edges and curves. Do this as a last resort, though. If they can curve decently, you're screwed.

By denying him of his chainsaw, which can be achieved by simple gameplay modifications, he's just an m1 killer who keeps trying to rev-up behind you.

Hugging corners only works as a good counter half the time. I’ve seen more Leatherfaces than not easily whipping their chainsaw around multiple sharp turns with zero collision problems. Also hitting over windows with the saw doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for then either. Just saying that there really are no good counters to him unlike Billy whose saw is insanely easy to avoid.
