I can't end chases quick enough.

I just suck at killer I guess.

    Take the corners as sharply as possible, and break pallets on the side that forces the survivor to double back the way they came. What killers do you play?

    Demogorgon, Billy, Spirit. A and S tier killers and I cannot perform.

    I wouldn't worry much than, you aren't gonna be even good at a killer that have high skill levels like billy and spirit over night. I would watch videos over the killers you play, helped me a lot.

    Been playing killer seriously while leaving survivors by the side for 4 months. Before though, I had played killer often. I'm currently at rank 6 as killers and can't seem to even get a 2k.

    I can't either. Chases take me around 30 seconds. Fortunately the survivors I'm fighting aren't very good so I'm fine.

    Sometimes I go up against a good survivor and the chase takes a minute. But in these cases most of his teammates are potatoes at the current rank I'm at for Killer so I still end up killing most or all of them.

    Try to feather Hillbilly's chainsaw as you approach pallets, so you can chop them quickly. I've even had standoffs with survivors who I have baited into waiting to drop the pallet, and I've run straight through and mowed them down. Also, do NOT try to saw survivors from a distance, get RIGHT UP BEHIND THEM and run the saw.

    Spirit relies a lot on predicting survivor behavior. Try to cut off the critical path through a pallet, meet them on the other side of a window, pull people off generators, or listen for pain grunts and corner them. You have to learn to rely on audio cues and follow scratch marks. A good Spirit can seem omnipotent, but if you're not careful you can end up making big mistakes and mindgaming yourself.

    I wouldn't even sweat it. There are a ton of people with thousands of hours and been playing for years. Watch the sweaty streamers for some tips and keep practicing. Even beastly killers have some bad games.

    * Chases don’t end fast enough because I cannot outplay the survivor quick enough. Instead of improving my gameplay, I choose to blame it on things in the game.

    Being able to end a chase within 30 seconds consistently is elite level... Unless you're playing against potatoes who run into walls after the first hit that is.

    Well, two quick tips I guess.

    Mix it up. Mindgames like doubling back are good and all, but you don't want to make your unpredictable action predictable. Sometimes you try trickery, sometimes you try brute force and just hold W. And mix up the mindgames too. Fake that you're doubling back, that sort of thing. Don't become too predictable.

    And also learn which pallets are safe and which are unsafe. A survivor commiting to some unsafe pallets basically means you will hit them if you play it right, and on the Badham reworks and the new map there's quite a few pallets like this. But do not fear pallets, ESPECIALLY the safe ones. You want them gone.

    And a Billy-specific tip that sort of goes into the unpredictability - fake your chainsaw charge sometimes by pallets. Survivors don't know if you're keeping your chainsaw at 95% or 5%, and they might get greedy and go for another loop which can let you cancel your chainsaw and get a M1 on them.

    I can't really give spirit tips, but there's lots of people that play her on here. Hopefully they can give you some tips 🙂

    Yeah once you crack the low Purple/Red ranks the games get a bit more intense.


    Dont let one survivor run you around for too long, focus on the weak link and try to snow ball.


    Work on your mind games and bring add ons and perks that compliment each other, you won’t 4K every game but 2-3k with a pip is a win in my books.

    Thing is, I've been running STBFL, Ruin and have always tried hitting through pallets.

    alright then try using enduring + spirit fury, it's 90% a free hit since the pallet almost breaks instantly

    Honestly don't feel bad. Unless you are Nurse who is immune to traditional looping, or Spirit for the mind games at loops, you are playing a killer who can be looped into oblivion.

    Its not that you suck, it just takes practice at chases. How to work certain loops etc. Even then there are some loops that will give you a headache no matter how great of a chaser you are. I've seen some of the best killers walk away from them because they know its a precious time waster.

    A good killer knows when to break chase.
