Miss Piggy.

I recently started playing as the pig. It's been the most fun I've had as killer. What addons and perks do the Pig mains use?

    There's lot of things you can do with Amanda, I'd like to tag @TAG and @PigMainBigBrain they're huge Pig players.

    I'd like to say that right now she doesn't NEED any add-ons, they're all for fun right now. You don't need Combat Straps unless you just want them. If you're really into the Ambush then stack VHS tape and John's File for that. For Perks I do well with BBQ & Chili, Discordance, Surveillance, and Sloppy Butcher. So you got 3 locator perks and 1 for slowing down healing. Nurse's Calling is really good with Sloppy Butcher.

    When I play Pig I never use Ambush, I just sneak up to them and stand back up, sometimes pulling them off the Gen.

    My Pig build is Ruin, Surveillance, BBQ, and Nurses. As for add ons, they're not very helpful most times, some of them slow the game down a little bit, but I see no difference using two purple add ons as when i use two brown ones, or none at all. I do the same @HatCreature does, just sneak up on them and stand up. They have less of a warning. The ambush sound is a huge warning, I only ambush if I'm crouching around and I run into someone. They can run, but I'm faster.

    Hey, I never said I was a GOOD Pig player. :P I don't want people to think of me as a fraud when I just play Pig the way I want to. ;)

    Anyways, as far as add-ons, these are what I tend to use:

    Last Will + Either Jigsaw's Annotated Plan or Jigsaw's Sketch

    Jigsaw's Annotated Plan + Jigsaw's Sketch

    Bag of Gears + Crate of Gears

    Tampered Timer + Either Crate of Gears or Jigsaw's Sketch (Last Will works too)

    Rules Set No. 2 + any of the above add-ons minus Jigsaw's Annotated Plan


    I don't particularly care for the ones that affect the Ambush, but if you do, you can also go for:

    Video Tape + either Combat Straps or John's Medical File

    Amanda's Letter + either Video Tape or Combat Straps (note that this combo is only really usable in either Lehry's or The Game). If you want to be a high roller jerk, you can use it with Last Will too.

    Face Mask Add-On with Knock Out. If you can manage to get a kill early, the combination will cause havoc if you down someone, especially with Sloppy Butcher or Rusty Nails.

    Will it? There are a small handful of perks/items that trump Knock Out, and SWF basically makes it a non-issue.

    Depends on your style. Some pig favorites like to run brutish builds that run face first into pallets, and focus on quick chases and extremely gamey and risky lunges. They bring things like enduring, brutal strength, spirit fury, etc etc.

    I personally like to run more....objective based builds giving me time to mess with people mentally. Things like Thano, sloppy butcher, franklins, knock out, multiple jigsaw box add ons, multiple bear trap add ons, blind and exhaust add ons etc. I was really looking forward to the thanatophobia buff so I could really feel the pressure build up as I spread damage across survivors....but alas....

    I enjoy pig because she has the most versatile gameplay style of any killer I've tried.

    You can be stealthy, you can be loud, you can be a trickster, you can be annoying, you can be a brute, She has at surface value a pretty simple kit, but theres so much more that can be done with it compared to other killers. I was hoping to get the same potential complexity from the new plague killer but again....alas. Just another leatherface with a few extra steps....

    Oh, and she's one of the few killers if played correctly does not need add ons....amazing...

    Forces people to communicate, and if you've ever heard coms, having multiple people trying to shout over each other is actually beneficial to the killer adding to the confusion.

    Pig is very underrated and,can be underestimated. Her kit allows her an extra way to slow the game down and get Survivors off Gens. I don't use her crouch nearly as much as I should, but usually it's an occasional thing to use, rather than rely on it unless you're using a particular build with Amanda's Letter or to be cheeky with Reverse Bear Trapped Survivors.

    I just recently got my Pig to level 42 for her Teachable Perks and in doing so, finally got some Perks for her to use. Before, I only had her at level 5 nearly Perkless and still managed to hold my own because of the Jigsaw Boxes & RBTS


    She also has some of the best jumpscare potential creeping along and outta nowhere, popping out from a corner.


    Currently using Ruin, Sloppy Butcher, Surveillance and Make Your Choice

    Thanks for the advice guys (and gals if applicable). I'm just really getting started with her. So far I'm using Bbq, Ruin, MYC, and I was using Wispers. I'm going to try Sloppy Butcher in Wispers place. I've been using Combat Straps with Video Tape.

    @DeadGavin I started using MYC when I didn't have any perks for her and have found it gives me decent value. If Bbq fails to turn up a good prospect MYC usually gives me the next down. I don't have Nurses yet. I'm going to try to get it and Enduring off the Shrine this week. I'm looking forward to trying out Nurse's along with the Enduring, Spirit Fury combo.

    Has anybody tried M&A on Pig? If so did you find it useful or a waste?
