Chucky | The Good Guy Feedback

Disclaimer: I have never played as chucky, nor have I watched gameplay from his perspective or taken any time to read his abilities. All I know is that he plays in 3rd person--everything else I've learned from the Survivor POV.

Playing against Chucky is always a good time. He has made my return to DBD an enjoyable one (recently coming off an 8 mo. break from the game). On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most fun to play against, I would give Chucky an 8.5

My FAVORITE Feature: The sporatic footsteps that appear around the map. I don't know what triggers it, if anything at all, but I find it adds an enjoyable amount of tension while working on a generator. It's a soft jumpscare that keeps me alert, and is a feature I wish more killers had some variant of--I feel it reinforces the idea that the Killer could appear at any moment, and Survivors should be weary.

My LEAST FAVORITE Feature: Crawling under pallets (Scamper?). I think I would prefer some variant of Legion/Lopros Chains, where special attacks after crawling under the pallet inflict deep wound. I don't find Chucky particularly oppressive, but his ability to negate pallets makes many chases feel futile. The reality is that pallet stuns are too unrealiable because of desync.

All in all, hats off to the entire team that worked on Chucky. I'm really pleased with the result, and I look forward to more games against him.

indeed

mind games feel less like 50/50 & more in his favor. Even if you see him I think you just react a lot slower than someone of normal height, it doesn't register as quickly imo

On my part, there are too many killers now that I dont have ability to learn countering them all. Chucky release days I played against alot of Chucky, I didnt have a chance to learn though, all were hard tunneling and died in 4 hits.

Thematically I love playing against him. It always makes me laugh when he does the middle finger lol.

I find myself hiding more against him than other Killers because of his stealth power. I really enjoy that aspect. When he is chasing me he doesn’t always hit his slice and dice which is nice, it feels like I can dodge it. Playing against him is super fun.

From a Survivor POV I can’t find fault with him.

Considering Chucky isn't really a scary being and more comedy for me, I'm impressed with how well he has integrated into the game.

He's strong and his lunge attacks are fun to face. It may be worth increasing the cooldown on missed lunge attacks though, since he's not really punished for that much.

The scamper ability is strong, but I like a Killer that subverts what is normally expected.

Finally, his footsteps seem prominent enough when going round loops to face him, but maybe they could be a bit more visible, since most other Killers you can see where they are on many loops, but Chucky is a little more conspicuous. That may be me being picky though.

Overall, a great addition which shows ambition in Killer design.

I'll start this with, I am a survivor main (yoichi in particular so I stick out like an airport runway light which is why I call him banana man) and I have not played as Chucky but have watched some friends play as him

I really like Chucky and his perks. batteries included ramps up in power as the game goes which is cool to see in a perk the only one I can think of that does that well is huntress lullaby, two can play is a fun one because it lets survivors see how it is to go against us when we have flashlights and firecrackers and friends til the end is strong but not terrible I just wish I didn't see it in more than half my games but that can't be helped it's just a good perk. I think there are maybe some hitbox problems sometimes like I'll get hit when he missed but that could be desync because I tend to lag with my bad wifi, he is small so you really have to keep your eye out for him but it's the same with any stealth character (Myers, Ghostface, pig, ect) playing against Chucky like any new character that comes out you have to get used to the way he plays and play around that like not pre-dropping pallet on him or he'll scamper you either hit him or go for a window

His voice lines are fun and his mori is hilariously brutal. All in all I like him as a killer in dbd, I'm always gonna have good games and bad games with any killer and with Chucky I feel it's about even with both. I guess I've had one game maybe that wasn't that fun against a Chucky but that was a game I got tunneled off hook by a Chucky in hidey-ho, not a fault on Chucky though just a good way to play/get kills

Peace, survivor main that started playing killer (pig) in the last 2 weeks

Edited to add: I've played against him from ash to low gold and seen him played in high iri and my opinion never changed

I think he is really fun to play and is in a good position right now. The only things I think could be improved are his extremely long cooldown (I get that his power is really strong, but so is the Spirit's, and her cooldown is only 15 seconds, while Chucky's is 18. Let's not forget she also has add-ons that reduce that cooldown further and increase the duration, while his add-ons are way weaker in comparison) and some of his add-ons. Mirror Shards are borderline useless and PILE OF NAILS is an awful add-on that counters itself, as you need to manually end Hidey-Ho mode to get some extra stealth, but only lasts for 5 seconds, so you can't sneak on a survivor unless you're really close, but Chucky LAUGHS quite loud when you manually end Hidey-Ho, so the stealth is pointless as the laughter reveals your position.

Beside those little details though, I think he is the best designed killer in a long time. Most of his add-ons are still good, make a noticeable difference but are not insanely strong, which I think is how it should be for strong killers like him. I think my favorite is Portable TV, which is the only one that makes a HUGE difference, but only in endgame, so that balances things out and gives it some amazing sinergy with endgame perks.

In my opinion he just has too much going for him.

All other stealth killers still need to put in some effort when approaching players as they can be spotted by alert players at a distance. Chucky only needs regular grass for it to be exceptionally difficult to spot him before he's already on top of you.

His giggles seem to be intended as a countermeasure for this, but I hear a giggle maybe 1 in 10 times he comes at me. Whether it's due to how infrequent they are, or if map tiles can block the sound, I don't know, but it should absolutely be made so that a survivor near Chucky in Hidey-Ho mode WILL hear giggles.

His dash is a flat power-creep on the Pig, and it comes without the downside of being slower than survivors to use it, and you don't have to be stationary to charge the attack.

Outside of that I think his power is alright, but it needs to be more consistent, and potentially the dash attack should be shortened.

In regards to his perks, the only big one is Friends Til The End. Personally I think it needs to lose the scream when the obsession changes, because as it is it rewards everything you do. Hook the obsession? Be shown another player. Don't hook the obsession? Be shown the obsession. It should be one or the other not a win-win. It especially sucks to be in the final two against this perk, because it reveals you regardless of who's being hooked.

Chucky is locked into a terrible FoV, so I’ll pass on this killer.

Terrible FoV is terrible FoV. It doesn’t matter that I can see Chucky’s entire body, instead of giant hands floating on the sides of my screen. It’s still unacceptable FoV that we can’t even fix with Shadowborn or the FoV slider.

i fully agree with this person as a killer main he is just way too strong plz increase his terror radius a bit like wesker

u main dredge?

When I started playing him, I didn't actually realise he could scamper under pallets when not charging with slice and dice... and I still did well with him. As such I find it hard to say how good he is overall.

Pre-running does buy a fair amount of time on him, and I recently learned you only see his scamper footprints when you would normally be able to see the killer if he was normal height... which explains why I kept just thinking I was awful at tracking his footsteps.... now I know about it I can pay more attention to it.

I find him tough to mind game, but I don't do awfully against Chucky, especially if I can juke his slice and dice. If you do manage to trick him, you can make loads of distance. Since his turn arc got nerfed and he can't flick around terrain... I'm not convinced he's OP anymore, but he's still undeniably strong.

Killers want the flicks back, Survivors want nerfs because he's hard to handle at loops... so I struggle to feel he's not far of being exactly where he should be.

With respect, does any of this current feedback matter? There's no shortage of precedents dictating that some or all aspect of this character will be changed at some point anyway.
