Calling all Bubba and Demogorgon mains!
I need some tips and ADVICE. So I've recently gotten into Bubba (my sworn enemy as survivor.... The one I love to hate & run around) and I'm gonna say it... I've actually been enjoying the s.o.b. Though I've been averaging a kill rate of 2k. The potential is there, I just need to get some practice in, I know it. When is the best times to use his chainsaw? (My big, galaxy brain tells me when there's more than one unfortunate survivor in front of me or when they're in an open area but like, are there any spicy chainsaw tips I should know??) What add ons are best? Which are useless to use? Best perks? The works.
For Demo mains, I'm struggling with efficiently getting survivors and protecting gens. I'm trying to use my portals as much as possible but as I mentioned, I'm having a hard time. Any tips on how to manage both portal usage, hooking and gen protection?? Also which add-ons should I be using and perks? I know STBFL, it's like... Obligatory for demo. I'd love to get better at Demo, I love versing him and just getting more than a sometimes 1k would be epic.
I main Legion, Pig, Ghostface and Hag so all different playstyles I suppose is why I'm struggling maybe? Yeah any advice is super welcomed!

My best advice for Demo is to identify gens that are close together and defend them as much as possible, and to use shred not only as a attack but as a distance closer, especially on elevated surfaces
as for addons, Black Heart, Barb's Glasses, Rat Liver, Leprose Lichen and Lifeguard Whistle are all very useful, that's about all i can say other then "practice"

LF is a God tier killer, not only its OP to the point it might be called P2W, but also because he is very easy to play, no maps are an instantly loss for LF and im genuinely surprised by not facing him every other match when i play survivor.
The best in slot perk for him is Tinkerer, second one would be Ruin and from there you can adjust the build to your preferences.
Im currently running Tinkerer, Ruin, Crowd Control and Undying. He only needs Tinkerer to win, but if ANY of your totems remain active, u get a HUGE advantage throughout the match.
Other options are: Tinkerer, Ruin, Surveillance and BBQ or Tinkerer, Ruin, Undying and BBQ...
No addons are required, whenever u are in a window loop, just M1. If u are on a pallet loop, use the chainsaw to go around the entire thing and force a drop or even down the survivor before it drops the pallet.
If they go into a locker, their only chance of escaping it would be with Head On, just hit the locker with the chainsaw, wait for the tantrum and grab them as they try to leave the locker.
If a survivor is saved from the hook, dont M1 because it probably has BT, use the chainsaw to down them even if BT gets activated.
Never try to chainsaw with a single charge unless u are on open areas and extremely close to the survivor, on the first charge your movement speed is very low and u only get acceleration on the second one.

Demo's Shred forces a lot of pallet drops, if you know that a survivor has to commit to a loop that involves a pallet or is in a narrow corridor, you force a damage state if they dont drop it. If they hesistate, you can get the drop and the hit at the same time, just need to break the pallet afterwards.

LF depends on your rank. If you between 5-20 wellll 4-20 lol most might run in a straight line for you to mow them down. At higher ranks there are a couple maps where the smarter survivors can utilize the map on you to make you m1 more. The farm maps come to mind considering in every direction there are high T/L walls and a shack which brings me to my point of Bamboozle I don't run bubba with out it. They run to a vault location I block and charge the saw. I used to run mine with no slowdown or regression BBQ, Bamboozle, Infectious, Monitor. However with survivors doing different things now I swapped infectious with ruin. I would also recommend corrupt. Bamboozle/Monitor are the two I will never replace. monitor gets you closer to them before they notice/hear you and that distance saves time in chases.

Play Bubba without addons until you figure out the muscle memory of when to use his charges. Every time he swings his chainsaw he grunts, so the basic timing is 3 grunts/swings, use a charge, 2 grunts/swings, use a charge.
Using your chainsaw is most effective when survivors are in the open, but make sure you're less than 5 meters away before revving. You can also use his chainsaw to force pallet drops. Just pre-rev before you reach a pallet and make sure you don't get so close that you get stunned while revving. If you do it right the survivor will have no choice but to give you the pallet or get greedy and eat a chainsaw. You'd be amazed how often survivors get greedy. Once you get comfortable with his saw you can start doing mindgames with it, doubling back around loops to get survivors to vault into you.
Demo's portals aren't all that good, so don't focus on them. His shred is easily his best asset. Winding up a shred makes survivors try to dodge and serpentine, much like Deathslinger. This makes it way easier for you to catch up to them and get an easy M1. If they run in a straight line or run through a chokepoint then you can pounce on them.
Hope this helps.

Ya I was just running with Demo for a while to P3 and I noticed shred worked well to close distance. I notice nobody is mentioning zoning......... am I the only ######### going to say it? Fake yo power, watch em run into a tree, smack em.
1 -
Faking your power is actually one of Demo's strongest points, for a example, killer shack
You are charging your shred as you walk in, the survivor has 3 options, go for the window, go for the pallet, or try and fake the window
if they go for the window they get hit
they go for the pallet they will either get hit or you get the pallet depending on if the server decides to work with you
and if they fake the window you can just cancel your power and m1 them
unless you're me, in which case you fall for the window fake every single time no matter the survivor

Bubba's probably best build is bamboozle pop bbq and something you like

I don't main little Mr. Sawyer, but I do play a lot of him.
Some of his best add-ons are Scratches (Beast's and Knife are both good) and any of his Charge gain speed add-ons. Something to note is that the Scratch add-ons actually seem to make you charge your chainsaw faster as opposed to slower.
Take Bamboozle on him. One perk slot to nearly completely remove his main weakness is awesome. It's like Stridor Spirit except it doesn't guarantee free downs and doesn't feel completely undeserved because it is.
If you know that a survivor needs to drop a pallet if they want to avoid a hit, start revving your chainsaw immediately. This basically forces them to either drop it or die, and if they don't stun you, that pallet is gone for the rest of the match.
Don't take both iridescent add-ons in the same match. You will very much regret it after you stand over a downed survivor for five seconds, unable to do anything but scream and wave your big bad Bubba chainsaw.
Stealth perks are amazing on Bubba. You wouldn't think that, given how much sobbing, squealing, and chainsaw roaring goes on around him, but it's true. If you can sneak upon a survivor, and they don't have a window nearby, they're down for the count before you've even fully charged your chainsaw.
Don't go for grabs. Just start your saw up. It's more reliable by far, and you'll get more points for it.
If you know a nearby survivor has a flashlight, use your chainsaw to break pallets instead of your foot. It takes a bit longer, but your camera is locked for a much shorter amount of time, so you can often dodge what would be a guaranteed blind at the cost of one charge token.
One sneaky trick you can do if you know a survivor is camping a window and can't see you is to start charging your saw. They'll think that you're right behind them (because why else would you be charging the chainsaw?), and they'll reflexively vault right into your loving arms. This doesn't work all the time against well seasoned survivors, mostly because they've most likely fallen for it at least a dozen times already.
If you ever end up giving up, or if the survivors are T-bagging the exit gates and you're not willing to help them out with chase or blind points or hold their hand so that they can find the massive door right behind them, just start chainsaw sprinting back and forth, using one token for each run. It's the most effective way to gain BP without interacting with survivors or just looking around for dropped pallets.

My main is Bubba but I haven't played him as much since the rework.
But I know him quite well and I think here's the best tips I can give you.
- Learn how tight you can turn corners without hitting them. This is just practice but it's vital.
- Learn how to use charges. For me I always count the swings. 4 swings (then use a charge) another 3 swings (then use last charge). This helps me a lot since I haven't played him enough to gain muscle memory of his power yet.
- If a survivor is at a pallet with no window then just chase them. Start charging your power when your getting close or time it so that your power is fully charged when you reach the pallet (so if they drop it you'll immediately be ready to break it)
My build is Corrupt, Bamboozle, Pop and Tinkerer. You can change Corrupt and Pop for Ruin and Undying but I personally prefer the consistency of Pop/Corrupt.
Pay attention for two perks. Spine Chill and Spring Burst. These are the two perks that give me the most trouble. If someone has Spine Chill and your undetectable (tinkerer) walk sideways to it to avoid Spine Chill.

Lol hey you should watch me place my first game of the night when I get off work.

for bubba I use iron grasp and agitation with insidious
drag them to the basement

I can speak for Demo, try Corrupt Intervention. It gives you more time to set up portals at the start of the game. Keep at least 1 portal in every important part of the map and don't forget to hold right click to check on them once in a while.

I play Bubba more than any other killer and there’s a lot of great advice on here so far, not sure I can add a whole lot of useful advice that hasn’t been stated already. The recommended builds are all very good. I always bring BBQ on any killer for BP. Like others have said, Bamboozle helps combat his greatest weakness which is windows. Pop is a great gen slowdown perk for him. I also like to bring Corrupt as it usually helps me get at least a couple downs and hooks before the first gen pops.
The way I like to play windows is to use Bamboozle on long loops. On short loops, try the get them to vault window early then start your chainsaw sprint and double back. It feels so good when they vault back over that window right into your saw :)

Hello, main bubba here. Playing him almost always since billy nerf...
Best addons for him are the chili, engravings and spark/bulb.
Strongest addon combo i would say is spark and bulb. You can use the chainsaw a lot more and be more agressive in chase, however double chili extends your distance, but takes ages to recover the charges. And about engravings, the green one gives you +3 speed and the yellow one gives you +2, so meh... You can use any of them, but NEVER both.
About perks, bamboozle is king. It counters your only weakness, which are windows. Nothing more to say, block window, start chainsaw, get pallet or survivor. Never fails.
My personal build is BBQ, infectious, bamboozle and corrupt.
If you have luck, you can put a lot of pressure at the start if you down someone with corrupt left, and infectious is for info and slugging people, if they are close to eachother. Remember that you can down a survivor, and if theres one nearby you can force him to drop a pallet and go back to the downed survivor, or even down him as well!
Feel free to ask me if you want some more personal tips.

Bubba boi here.
but tech im a variety... NEVERTHELESS
Just keep spamming his chainsaw and use bamboozle unless you're forced to m1.
there's no skill really in using his chainsaw..

Heressome advice from a demo main. WHEN SHREDDING, ALWAYS IDENATIFY objects survivors can use to juke you so you miss the shred. Always make sure theres enough space jn your area to shred. ALSO, a good build is, thano, ruin, bbq, and overcharge

Bubba is a very decent and strong killer. His true strength shines when you are hooked in the basement, no other killer can give you as much pressure then bubba can when you are in the basement unless your nurse.
0 -
I don't main either of those two however I do play them a lot and I'm pretty solid at them.
Bubba
You can actually counterloop some tiles as Bubba with all of your charges, you can do it without add-ons so don't worry about your engravings or chili add-ons.
My build for Bubba is a hex build: Ruin, Undying, Retribution, and Crowd Control.
Ruin for slowdown, Undying for the sacrifice, Retribution to use that instadowning chainsaw to its fullest, and Crowd Control to end loops easily.
His best add-ons are the chili add-ons and the engravings. Primer Bulb is also pretty useful for quick recharging. Light Chassis is also powerful af.
Demogorgon
For Demo, you can fake your shreds. This is Slinger-tier zoning right here. Okay maybe not as good as Slinger, but almost as good as his zoning potential. And don't be afraid about patience, survivors will try to fake vaults to trick you into shredding into a wall, hold your shred and if they fake their vault, cancel it and M1 them. If they do vault it, shreds are fast af so you'll be able to hit 'em.
My build for Demo is pretty basic: BBQ, PGTW, STBFL, and Corrupt.
BBQ for bloodpoints and info, PGTW for quick regression (Think of it like Freddy with Pop, place a portal near a gen and pop it), STBFL is a MUST on him because you can shred obsessions to avoid losing stacks, and Corrupt which gives you time to setup.
It has a great variety of add-ons. Black Heart is powerful for a brown add-on, Barb's Glasses is Brutal Strength, most of its add-ons are pretty solid so use whatever works best!

This is quite true. Whenever I'm playing survivor and Bubba takes one of my teammates to the basement I'm always wondering if he's insidious waiting for the rest of us. 😂 All jokes aside, he is a dangerous threat when he has you in basement, it can all be ggs from there.

Go to a portal near the hook of the survivor you've hooked, this will make the other survivors thing you went too far and will go to the rescue. But If you go to a portal near to the hook you can catch them while unhooking? But it's a good tech, try it.
Also. with Pop you can teleport to gens and kick them! Easy!

These are some super helpful tips and inside tricks that I will definitely be trying out! These are awesome, thanks friends.
