No this was not meant to be part of the patch. Once it is fixed (it may already be), you should be able to drop Jason to his knees with a shotgun while he is in rage mode. But I do believe it is shotgun only.

You do realize they just released a hot fix for the patch in the past couple of hours? Specifically to fix the issue of not being able to drop Jason to his knees for the kill. Have you tried it since then?

You do realize that it was never intended to not be be able to kill Jason during rage right? It was an accidental screw up of the patch.

Ok thanks, so the rage mode stun invicibility DOES extend even to knocking him to his knees. Interesting, I like it, people are going to have to value and save their shotguns more strategically if they want a shot to kill Jason. Killing Jason should be Uber hard and ultra rare, this lends itself to that outcome.

Can someone clarify for me, now that the hot fix is in, what can be used to drop Jason to his knees for the kill when he is in rage mode? Is it only a shotgun? Or can a bat, ax, pan, etc. still be used? I’ve asked this question a couple of times but no one seems to have a solid answer as of yet.

One question I did have. After the hot fix takes affect, when Jason is in rage mode, will you ONLY be able to drop Jason to his knees for the kill with a shotgun? Or will you be able to drop him to his knees with a bat, ax, etc. as you could before?

I’ve been playing for the last 2 hours. I like it. It was so sweet the first time I was in rage and someone “grab baited” me, and hit me, and all that happened was me grabbing them and punching their head off. They must not have read the patch notes. lol

Guys you need to calm down about the not being able to kill during rage thing. I would bet any amount of money that it was not supposed to be like this in the patch. It will be corrected with a patch fix. If you look at the patch notes at the bottom it even says, “killing Jason is not affected”. This is just a screw up from adjusting it so he can’t be stunned during rage. A side affect that they didn’t think about.

Ok not being able to kill him AT ALL while he is in rage I do not agree with. But I have to assume that is a screw up and not what they meant to do. But it could very well be that when they fix it, only a shotgun can drop him to his knees for the kill. And as far as you saying “they put weapons in the game so you can fight back.” I think you only said half of what you should have said. “They put weapons in the game so you can fight back... AS A LAST RESORT, IF ESCAPE OR AVOIDANCE IS NOT POSSIBLE.”

With all due respect, you’ve been playing the game in a way that the developers did not intend. Now they have fixed the game so players can no longer play that way. To me it’s no different than fixing glitches. It’s getting rid of aspects of the game that the developers never intended nor wanted in the game. So yeah now have a choice to make, adjust your style to play as the developers intended or quit playing the game.

LOL. I’m a level 150 player that has been playing since the game launched. I have every badge, tape, and trophy except for Ph. D in Murder, because I haven’t tried to get it yet. I’m telling you all this not to brag, but just to give you an idea of how many hours I’ve logged in the game. I would classify myself as a very high level player. I’m not some newbie mad because they can’t kill anyone as Jason. Being able to “bait” the grab and stun Jason isn’t a sign of skill. It was just taking advantage of a broken grab mechanic. Believe me, I’ve been on both sides of it. And I can tell you, a high level Vanessa, that can kite and bait grabs and run the perks I mentioned before, is going to get the best of a high level Jason player most of the time. And if you are a walking Jason, lol, forget about it. I’ve witnessed high level Jason’s chase high level Vanessa’s for 8 straight minutes. Getting kited and bait stunned. The whole point is that people should not be tracking Jason down to kite and stun him. They should not be passing up opportunities to escape by the cops or in a vehicle, because they want to troll Jason, waste everyone else’s time, and run out the timer. They should be running away trying to escape if possible. Engaging Jason as an absolute last resort. These changes will get the game closer to that point.

You want to know why this patch is so great? Because I am so tired of seeing people escape/run out the timer from doing the following: 1. Play as Vanessa 2. Run the Heavy Hitter Perk and Medic Perk 3. Arm yourself with a baseball bat 4. Take advantage of a missed Jason grab attempt (due to the animation lock on the grab, not due to a lack of skill from the Jason player), by waiting for a missed grab and then stunning Jason with the bat 5. Rinse, repeat for the last 8 minutes of the round, re-arming with a new bat when necessary, healing if Jason is lucky enough to land a knife throw Nothing will be give me more pleasure than seeing people unable to do that anymore. You should be trying to hit Jason with something as an absolute last resort, not purposely kiting him to take advantage of a bad grab mechanic. Now, the correct thing will happen. When a 125 pound woman tries to hit Jason with a wooden bat while he is enraged, he will grab her and split her in two. As it should be. Sorry all you Vanessa players, trolling Jason for the last 8 minutes of a match is no more. Better actually try to play the game correctly, escape sooner, or don’t go out of your way to fight him earlier in the match, so rage mode takes longer. Also, Jason being able to be stunned when walking through doors was always one of the cheapest aspects of the game, so good riddance to that as well. This is the best change to the game in months. My ONLY gripe is that I do believe that fire crackers should still stun him while in rage mode (but not the flare gun).

Not actual hiding spots like inside a tent or under a bed. (I never use those but now I’m curious to know if the 120 seconds rule applies on those) I’m talking about hiding in the basement in Jarvis House, or in a restroom stall in the restroom on Crystal Lake, places like that.

Anyone else think having the 120 second idle kick is a really annoying feature? I’m not sure if it just didn’t work properly until the last update or what, but it is happening to me way more often than it used to. Reasons I’m against it: -hiding in a one spot and not moving is a viable strategy in this game. Not possible to do now. -I’m in a really fun lobby but have to run to the restroom in the middle of a round, can be hard to do that in 120 seconds. -even if I just want to take one round off to do something, but want to stay in the same lobby, can’t do that now. Thoughts? It’s definitely been altered since the last update right?
