Assistance against Insta-Rev Billy
How do I fight this?
Like real talk, I've tried pallets, I've tried Dead hard, I've tried everything I can think of but just nothing works against a billy who chases me down using Bloodlust then uses an instant rev to one hit down me.
I'm rank 6 right now and it's getting more and more prevalent.
Inb4 git gud or any of that stupid #########, I'm not saying it's op. I'm saying I have no ######### clue how to counter it.

Hmm i guess you could try 2 things
- run around in cicles (360 him) and hope that he misses his chainsaw
- Play Billy yourself with exactly the same insta-rev and study how others avoid it
But i guess there is a reason that Billy counts to the A class killers :/

its a broken add-on combo that still exists for some reason. really fun to go against :)
not a lot you can do, sorry but we all suffer

OP Killer is OP. Do the best you can and hope the next match isn't a Billy.

Luckily, Billy has no inherent tracking abilities making stealth a good option.

The only thing you can really do is try to gain distance. Sometimes, running into Billy players while they're revving will confuse them and they'll either back up or turn around, but that's purely based on the player.

It is overpowered, and you can't really counter it.
All you can really do is loop him well, and hope you don't run into any deadzones.

Like someone else said play Billy with insta-rev and see how others avoid it. It isn’t as good as some people on this thread think.

thats the only time id agree that its a little too strong...
the only real thing you can do is keeping him on distance with windows or avoid him at any cost. once you are caught without a window you can quickly vault / pallet you can drop immediately, your done for.
you can try to bait it out by running left and when he's fully charged, turn to the right. that requires timing though, so you gotta know exactly how long he has to charge.

That's not how human psychology works.
Suicide on hook = easy win = positive experience = killer thinks he's a god and will keep doing everything the same way.

Windows beat Billy.

We should all do this against Freddys then. Not even joking.

Tier1 Killers are OP. No use in trying to defend yourself.

Best thing against Billy (and chainsaws in general) is don't let them get anywhere near you. Think you want to hide? Don't. Use that time to get a head start running and keep as much distance between you and them as possible. Thanks to almost all killers using bbq/chili, you can figure out with high probability what his next target will be and make sure you are no where near it. Two people on a gen - for sure he's visiting them next. Ready to make a save? Do it as soon as he sprints away - cause if you wait too long he'll be sprinting back anyway.

Since when hillbilly came OP? last time i checked he obeys the rule of pallets like most of the killers. Survivor chooses if you drop the pallet or not.

It was an obvious joke.
No one should ever DC, but it seems like its a lot of peoples' answer to basically anything.
Hillybilly is still an incredibly strong Killer. Easily at the top next to Nurse.

So you want to bully the worst killer over and over? Nah. Billy is the most balanced killer in the game. Every killer needs to be buffed to his level.

I doubt that's even possible. Some characters are going to be better than others.

He should keep doing it. If people self destruct on the hook just cause they got sawed then he's done his job.

Yep, just hate them, but then again, I did a full team SWF a few days ago, but each one of us for some reason took turns having a game crash O.o
