Jason V (Roy) - Stats

[Jason V (Roy) - Stats]

Weapon looks cool, but I'm worried about the stunning. All the stunning.

[Patch 12.18.2017 - Bug, Glitches, and General Issues]

On steam, I'm not getting any new content. No update starting when I start teh game, no Shelly in my counselor pool, etc.

[Single player news + DLC roadmap]

While disappointed about the delay to Single Player, I am super pumped about this timeline guide. It shows what we're getting, in a sequence. For Gun Media to reveal that, after being so tight lipped about everything, is a welcome shock.

Also I am very excited about offline bots. I really want to practice Jason play--knife throwing accuracy, shift-grabbing accuracy, and just look at maps, and doing so without needing to find people would be great.

Plus, I see three maps, three Jasons and a new game mode. Hopefully one of those will be the Lazarus or Manhattan.

Thanks guys, for giving us so much info!

[NES Jason release time?]

I downloaded the patch on Steam but nothing is showing up as new.

so what you're seeing is we're gonna see the same kill over and over every lobby since all 8 people will have purple jason as their jsson lol

Like we dont' see Choke CHoke Choke CHoke Choke Choke all the time.

[The Final Girl/Scream Queen]

I think the last survivor should get some sort of bonus, simply because they're the "last one". Boost to damage, stamina, something that makes them a little stronger.

[How do you play Jason]

I am a poor Jason player, so right now I am playing to win for the sake of improvement. Y'can't play with your food if you can't catch it, and such.

That said, it depends on how the counselors are acting. My default is silent stalker, but if the cousnelors are constantly stunning me/mocking or trolling, I get frustrated. If they're being chatty or casual, I'm playful and friendly. I will compliment a good maneuver.

Last night one counselor started begging "no no please no no" and I just had to ask "Has that ever worked, in the history of ever?" Another game, I was chatting with the last player as I chased, because the game had been so buggy--they called Tommy and he ddin't show up, the car crashed and got stuck and they couldn't even get back in it, etc. That, and the player was less than happy about me putting 3 traps on the phone.

[Instant Kill Animations Should all be the same duration]

If you want efficiency, use Part3 Jason and weapon attack them to death.

Not everything is about the most optimum choicel. That's why Eric and Chad exist.

Victor Crowley would one-hit-kill anybody and everybody. If you watch Hatchet 3 he rips people apart like they are made of play-doh.

And he also makes tiger/bear sounds, for some reason.

This should vary. Accidents happen because of friendly fire. How many of us have killed a counselor with the shotgun when shooting at Jason? I was also hit by the car because I was running to get in and the driver swerved at the wrong time.

[Do you make the most of your traps ? (Jason)]

When I get a player cornered in a cabin I will go around and smash all the windows then before breaking down the door I will put a trap down. Usually they play the couch game with me and I just let them think I messed up and got out of position which usually makes them run for the doorway. Doesn't work all the time but it does work often as they are too worried about getting away to bother looking down.

That's not bad. Because usually if you go around trapping the windows, they stun you and go out a door. Or, they jump out a window on teh side of the cabin you haven't reached yet.

[Do you make the most of your traps ? (Jason)]

I'm never quite sure the exact place to place the trap with the phone. I know that, for instance, trapping on the driver's side of the car, there are angles that a player can go to bypass it.

One method is using all your traps around one objective--all over the car for instance. Remove it from play, or make them waste a lot of knives to deal with it. That way 1) when a trap goes off, you know where they are, and 2) you can now focus on the other objectives.

Another location I've found useful to trap is Packanack Lodge. The windows are too high to climb in, so the stairs in the front and back become a bottleneck.. I've played multiple games where the phone+car are right next to eachother, or at the very least the car is there. Because objectives typically spawn in the back, it's a good place to catch people running away or trying to loop you.

Finally, one strategy to deal with "gang of counselors stunlocking Jason"--drop a trap or three around your feet, and fight around them.

[Death by being thrown through a window . . .]

COunselors dive through the center of the window, where the glass collapses inwards rather than clings to the edges like jagged hooks. Jason throws them as close to the rim as possible,s o theglass slices them open.

Most stuff is not highlighted really and just happens on the stream and is forgotten. I don't really stunlock in a 1vs1 yet though I just reset and outplay again

First link gets "You are not the editor of this channel".

Anyways, was looking for video of 2-3 counselors vs. Jason keeping him down.

Those are just small clips of longer combat scenes (heck some fights go 12 minutes straight).

Could you give some links to those long, long fight scenes? There are some threads I've been asked to show evidence of Jason getting dominated by counselors.

[Playing As Jason Makes You An AHole?]

Jason's job is to kill you, so I don't get upset about that. I find it lame when the Jason just chokes/weapon attacks, but that doesn't upset me. I'll often request an environmental kill.

I just don't like players that taunt me when I play Jason. Especially if they're better at juking.

 

[How are you supposed to Tommy?]

My biggest concern with tackling objectives is the likelihood others have died with the important objects so the items could be anywhere. I've died enough times transporting the gas to the car to know this.

I suppose another option is to get to a counselor not currently being attacked, and shadow them. Eventually Jason will show up.

[Simple Features Wishlist]

Set Jason to run/fast walk as default. Every single action Jason does, he's set back to "move slow". Which is really tedious--the only reason you want to walk is if you are RPing as Jason. Otherwise, you want to move as fast as possible at all times. Adding the extra step of setting to walk is thus an unnecessary step.

Allow players to enter a private game by themselves. Currently you need 2 players to enter a private game. However, solo games could be used to either practice or exploring the maps without needing a buddy to tag along. Yes, I know there is a single player planned, but that may just be a single-player Campaign, and players may not have the option to be a counselor in a single player.

[Tips for those of you who are having trouble!]

How do you keep your shifts going straight? Mine either go very wide, or get hung on things like cabins/fences.

Is there a way for Jason to disarm the counselors bear traps?  I'm thinking throwing knives at them, perhaps?  I keep forgetting to test this when I'm in game.

If you go in combat stance, you can walk over a counselor's trap.

[Junkyard Gladiator - Striking fear into Jason]

Quote

It is needless to say that Jason becomes absolutely weak against 2-3 councellors on this skilllevel,

Oh boy, are you going to get some pushback for that.

I've been trying to insist that Jason can be chain-stunned and kept on the ground for a logn time if a group of 2-3 counselors coordinate, and I've been assured that is just a joke, Jason is too OP for that to ever happen.

[How are you supposed to Tommy?]

Whenever I end up as Jarvis, I run towards the survivors who Jason is chasing. But whenever I make it to where Jason is, 4 out of 5 times, before I see him he's sees me, shifts in my face and kills me before I can get my shotgun off.

How do I defend other players when I die as soon as I show up where the players needing defending are?

[How to fight Jason with low strength?]

I would suggest using flareguns and fire crackers as your first line of defense. Handheld weapons should be a "I'm cornered and screwed" last effort.

Not personally, but googling it shows me. What of it?

[Damn, F13 part 6 really holds up]

The scene that kind of makes me roll my eyes is the three-decapitations-with-one-swing. It looks so silly. Also just before Jason makes the swing, he looks more like a ninja when he drops into view.

What made me very curious tho, there's a scene where a little girl se Jason, and he stops and walks closer to her. She's cowering with her eyes closed and he gets right into her face, and I'm just wondering what he was going to do had someone not screamed and drew his attention.
