how do i play against a nurse?
rank 9 counter most nurses the mid tier ones are harder than the good tier ones nad bad tier ones is a GG from the start how do i loop a nurse that over blinks / underblinks but still connect just because of her absurd no skill lounge which takes u crossmap... now i never pallet camp but im starting to think that thats the safest thing;).
but seriously some advice would be appreciated what i struggle with is that they paly so random and still connect the lounge after missing by a few meters

Hold shift W when you hear TR.

Lose line of sight a lot, and when you do don’t run in a straight line, misdirect, she will blink where she predicts you will run towards if you run behind an object.

hold W and go behind walls a lot, keep Nurse guessing where you are going (forward, left, right, double back into her blink etc)

Run behind things until she catches up with you and pray that your teammates are all on gens for the duration of the chase. If they are then you may have a chance of winning.

Not gonna lie,the shift W gamers are sometimes kinda hard to deal with as Nurse because you always expect them to double back at some point lol

That works for me 90 percent of the time, the 2nd blink is the problem. You never see any Nurse play without a 2nd blink anymore.

With Nurse I just try to keep a fair distance, work around the edges of the map looking for generators and assisting teammates when it's reasonably safe to do so. Try to engage her as little as possible. If she spots me and heads in my direction I just try my best to be as random and unpredictable as I can

Break LOS and limit LOS as much as possible.
Pallets are there for mindgames, not for an actual line of defense.
Doubling back every time will only work against bad Nurses. Holding W every time will only work against bad Nurses. You have to understand how a good Nurse approaches blinking and what a good Nurse is seeing at any given time. Simply breaking LOS around a corner only does so much. You need a secondary LOS break after the first one. If you just go around a corner and hug a wall, I can blink to the corner and blink again for a hit whether you doubled back or not.
Everything that breaks LOS on the map is a viable tile against Nurse. Even the junk tiles at the edge of the map. Running to a low wall filler tile in the middle of Autohaven is simply throwing the game against a Nurse. You're better off running to a corner and dying there.
Windows are literally pointless. There's zero reason to ever take a window in chase against Nurse. Any animation lock = hit. Like I said earlier, you can use pallets that are up to create a 50/50 play, but it should be option 3 or 4 in a chase.
Lockers can be used as a last resort to buy some time. She can't grab out of lockers during the chain blink window. You can use these to avoid a lunge. Just keep in mind you're pretty screwed without Dead Hard after she fatigues.

The way you play against a Nurse?
Watch the video of Rickon Stark dying.
Then don't do that.

Pray she is bad :)

If you really think Nurse's lunge takes no skill then you clearly haven't played as her. She gets an extra large linge after blinking because she's hands down the slowest killer in the game. I'm pretty sure she's even slower than Spoopy BK Myers.
Also don't camp pallets. In fact, you shouldn't really be using windows or pallets at all against a Nurse. She can blink straight through them.
Your best bet is to break Line of Sight (LOS) when she charges a blink so she can't see you and has to guess where you're going. Then you can double back or keep going forward or go in a completely random direction to confusion. Playing against good Nurses is super fun.
Also don't claim s**t takes no skill if you've never tried it before. It's embarrassing.

Shift + W and die if she's good

one trick that tends to work for me is watching for her to raise her hand and make the "ooh" sound, then running back towards her. as soon as she disappears, swerve left or right. if she goes for another blink, swerve her again.
nurses can "short blink" by looking down at the floor, which is why i swerve as soon as i see them disappear. if she doesn't shortblink, she's just gone. if she does, i'm still putting distance by strafing.
her base movespeed is 96%. you don't have to go for pallets or windows, either go for open areas so you can move properly or go for line of sight blocks.

The 2 most important things to do against nurse is to be unpredictable with your movement, and to break los as much as possible.
0 -
If she's good, look for a good place to die (no gens or other survivors nearby).
If she's bad, LOS jukes, locker jukes, doubling back, etc.

Be unpredictable and break LoS. if you do this, Nurse will be forced to play a guessing game, one where she can easily fail.

be unpredictable. for example, when she's chasing you and you see her holding her blink, stop and run back at her. she will overblink. but don't do it too many times, mix it up. maybe the next time you keep running straight and she underblinks because she expects you to run at her. stuff like that. break los as much as possible. keep running. i never try hiding. distance is king.
also if everyone is injured, reset!!! especially if everyone isn't running iron will.
once you figure it out, nurses are fun to go against tbh because there aren't that many nurse players who are *gods*. i prefer to vs a nurse than vs freddy or spirit any day.

i already do it but the problem is that she predicts me every single time even tho i dont even know what im doing myself :D
1 -
yea i already know about raise hand short blinks etc. but is ther really enough time to react after you see her disappear to not get a hit?
I will definetly try it tho, thanks! now most of the times i still end up juking her by doing kind of what you said but i still feel like i go down really really quick

The thing that has worked best for me is to go by the sound cues only. I rarely turn around to look at the Nurse -- I just go by the gasp and the shriek, and use that to time my pivots. The times I do worst are when I think about it too much, or run toward something on purpose (window, wall, structure, etc). The times I do best, I just empty my mind and swivel in a random direction when I hear Nurse sounds.

Just be very unpredictable. She can’t predict what your gonna do if you yourself don’t know what your gonna do
