The killer can see your ass crouching behind that tree

You can drop pallets by interacting with them

1:22 You can actually hear the Knight in the background sending Scott a text to tell him to stop revealing all of his secrets

You can repair generators to escape the trial.

To expand on the Twins thing: The Twins get killer instinct on you the moment you hear Victor’s grunts if you’re not crouching. If you’re running and you all of a sudden hear Victor’s grunts, do not start crouching, run away because Charlotte will know someone’s near Victor. If you do know where Victor is, start crouching before you get in the 12 meter range of his grunts to kick him.

if you press alt+f4 you can instantly escape a trial. This works for both killers and survivors!

In 7.6.0 patch they had this line: "Fixed an issue that caused The Legion in Feral Frenzy, when Blinded by a Survivor, to not play the cooldown animation." so I assumed they removed that interaction allowing them to get out of power quicker.

Two interesting things about Wesker that is VERY subtle. 1: Wesker’s (including me) will fake break pallets by pulling out Wesker’s power. How can you tell the difference between a legit break and a fake break? Wesker won’t laugh when actually breaking a pallet. 2: How do I know when Wesker’s window to use his 2nd dash is over? When he does a little snicker of a laugh he can’t dash anymore and will start putting away his power.

9:45 "Standing still whilst a Billy is charging at you will result in being downed" 💀

Best outtro I've ever seen for a YT vid. 10/10 I loved the genuine rage.

I love how the notifications from Jund's phone started freaking out at the end and then he started lashing out lul

Here's mechanics for killer, due to this video mostly assisting survivor pov (there's a lot): Dredge will always grab a survivor in a locker in a two locker set up, even if the other locker is locked. On all killers, the default position a survivor will be dropped when they escape your grasp while bring carried will be to the left side, behind or in front of the killer-- if there is an object in the way, it will then default to the right and then directly behind or in front. While a survivor has a pig trap on their head, entering chase will pause the timer indefinitely until the chase ends; you can still stay in close proximity, but as soon as the chase music begins it will pause. Fire Up perk affects survivor pickup time, and this includes grabbing off of objectives or vault locations; at 3 stacks or more, you will *always* successfully grab survivors off of objectives if they try to cancel the action after you pressed the button. This also speeds up special grabs like Wesker's auto-carry using his ability, Trapper picking up a survivor who is trapped, and Dredge locker grab. Survivors can be grabbed while vaulting pallets and windows if they are injured. While undetectable, you do not have the "red stain" visible (glowing red light in front of you visible to survivors). While a survivor is oblivious, they still see the "red stain". As Legion, you can lunge as the time for your power runs out, extending the distance you get with it, with the same amount of downtime if you had just let it run out. As Artist, if a survivor runs through one of your crows that hasn't been fired yet, crows will swarm them. You still need to fire a crow at them afterwards to damage them. As Onryo, while Demanifested you cannot be stunned by pallet drops and can walk right through survivors. As Knight, you can attack your guards to prematurely end their patrol and cycle to the next guard in rotation. Nemesis zombies always spawn next to hooks, so using offerings that change hook placement can drastically change how useful they may be on their own. Lunge is a movespeed bonus (180%) for a couple seconds with a basic attack at the end, because of this, more movespeed means a further lunge-- be aware that all killers have varying durations of lunge, despite all having the same speed boost. Chucky can vault windows silently while he is in Hidey-Ho. His normal vault uses a loud sound like survivors vaulting. Dredge can manually hide in lockers by pressing ctrl in front of one. Lockers blocked by the entity due to a survivor's hook proximity can be entered this way, be aware that the anticamp bar will still fill if you do this. (You must also have your power available to use this.) Hooking a survivor in the basement grants 50% more bloodpoints. Pig can exit crouch, vault a window, and crouch again before the undetectable expires. Survivors who are oblivious are still affected by all "within the killer terror radius" effects, like Coulrophobia. This can both give you away, and supress them without them realizing. As Unknown, if you teleport to a hallucination that is being dispelled by a survivor, they will be frozen in place giving you a 100% guaranteed basic attack for a moment. You can continue to kick generators that grow spikes from too many regressions-- this will only passively regress the generator at 100% speed, and not apply the 5% flat reduction or other effects you would normally apply. Sadako's TVs will play a special video if a survivor is within range of condemn for it (16m). If Oni does not actively gather blood orbs, they will eventually cap out-- orbs that despawn to make new ones will be automatically absorbed by Oni to charge his power from any distance. With Unrelenting on Oni, if you use your lunge to break a wall or pallet you will recover sooner, as it was a "miss". Perks and add-ons that state "whenever a survivor loses a health state" or "if a survivor is injured by any means", damage from disarming Trapper traps (with add-on), or damage from plague disease will apply those effects as well.

Thing I was genuinely not aware of: holding shift doesn't allow you to throw a pallet from every angle

Killer instinct works through lockers. This includes Legion stabs and Artist birds that miss you.

8:00 I learned that if you hold the sprint button while recovering with plot twist, your teammates can’t heal you and you can still recover. So if you see a solo q teammate sprinting towards you, just hold your sprint button. Still wastes their time but at least you can get plot twist value

A big one is a base mechanic that will always help: Survivors have a momentum system, so hold down the run button in place (or go in a small circle) in a scenario where the killer is mind gaming or you need to stand still to see checkspots. The only exception is Skull Merchant. Just croutch through the lines mid-chase, or stand still if you know she will get the Claw Trap off.

Another unknown mechanic is Skull merchant drones cant detect you if you DC the moment you know you are facing her.

4:03 as an artist main, sniping and pressuring gens with crows at long distances is one of her strongest skills, but i gotta admit its more fun when survivors dont just run past 3 lockers while they are swarmed, makes the game more interesting x3

I think the problem is some Survivors and Killers just play that one side an not the other, which is just not good. Bc theres no indicator for Killer Instinct, youll never know it exists if you only play survivor. You should always play both sides to learn both ways to loop/anti loop and also stuff like that.

7:20 You can knock him out of his cloak by pallet stunning him if you're exposed. You just can't break him out of it by looking at him if you get successfully marked. He will also break himself out still if he wiffs an attacks. Also side note, the timing to break him out must be generous or you can time it to break him out just as you get exposed becuase I've broken GF out of his stealth right as he exposed me a couple times.

SM's entire kit

Another interesting detail about not being able to reveal Ghostface when marked is that it still works if he grabs a marked survivor meaning he can walk around with a survivor while Undetectable as long as they were marked and grabbed. Also another cool ghostface power perk is that he has the intangiblity of meyers when stalking a survivor so if used correctly you can pop your power to quickly get past people who body block you at doors but is very finicky to use in chase without both some haste and the stalking movement speed addon

7:23 back when ghostface got all the buffs around the time trapper got the extra base trap this was one of the most stated changes im surprised you didnt remember that also since youre still in power before you m1 sometimes having the option to make someone unable to reveal you can be really useful to note in certain situations

Fast vault range is a minimum of (I think) 3m of running STRAIGHT at the window. Not slanted or turning into it, STRAIGHT. There is a cone of an angle that is acceptable for this but it isn't what i would call generous. Holding sprint cancels all interactions, including another person interacting with you. Let go of sprint to get healed. And finally, killers performing an interaction like kicking a gen or pallet, or searching a locker, or vaulting a window, makes them lose collision for a small window of time. This can be used to confuse a killer when you are running out of resources.

Can verify the Ghostface tip with the marks has been true for at least the last two years.

Working on the front of a generator is quieter than working on the sides. You can hold Trapper's bear traps open to let other survivors go past them (very useful around basement) you can tell where generators are in indoor maps based on whether lights are on or off. Pinhead's box always tries to spawn as far away as possible from every player. While carrying survivors, you can know when they're about to wiggle off based on how many times they've grunted. Every survivor grunts 9 times, then wiggles off on the 10th. Try to be at a hook by 8.

Really wish they would add a countdown for hooked players. I have a heck of a time telling whether someone has one, five, or ten seconds left before going to second stage. In the tip department: if you show up late and someone goes to second stage, if the killer is even remotely nearby, go away and let the survivor cook for another 30 seconds at least. If you unhook immediately after someone goes to second stage, the killer will come tunnel them out 150 times out of 100.

I agree with Scott on the Knight, I've had SO MANY F*CKING situations where my teammates don't know you can rescue someone safely even if the guard is patrolling the hook and either get chased by the guard and run away or just leave me to die, but this lack of knowledge can be used for your advantage if you're playing as the Knight because if the survivors you go against don't know this then they probably won't go for the unhook.

Tip against wraiths in chase: vault immediately into them when they are in cloak mode when a pallet is dropped to waste more of their time

It’s always a good idea to stay grouped up as survivor, strength in numbers !

Apparently a lot of survs aren't aware of this: If you get unhooked against a leatherface - don't run into him to take the bt hit unless he carries a surv. If he knows what he's doing he'll double hit you with the chainsaw

While being chased by knight AI if you touch a pallet or window vault with your body without vaulting it then run the other way the knights ghost will head straight for it and has to also touch it. Also during an interaction you should always let go off the run button because during a vault or drop or pallet throw your exhaustion will go down as long as you're not holding down run.

0:53 "Grace Under Fire" Probably the coolest scoring event name ever.

You know, it would be cool if BHVR kind of overhauled their UI in a way that show these kind of tips. Like, when you hover over a killer in the menu or select it, it shows how their power work in a quick video instead of a wall of text

if you are downed near a hooked survivor the anti camp meter does not go up if you are too close

You can hold sprint (left shift) to stop teammates from getting your off the ground in front of the killer. Idk how many times people would just run up with the killer on them and tap me, just to instantly get re downed by the killer. Holding sprint helps keep you from being farmed.

When I use Plot Twist in solo queue, I immediately stop recovering and do the "No" side-to-side wiggle in the direction of any teammates who start running towards me. I only start recovering again if they stop running towards me. It's actually pretty often turned out to be an effective way to communicate to not come for me. YMMV but just a tip

to add to the killer instinct thing: if you are hiding in a locker and artist shoots through it, she will get killer instinct. the amount of people i have grabbed out of lockers this way...

I have one. When you play as Knight, if you have Nowhere to Hide and kick a gen and send a guard out, once you finish making the path you will see Survivors auras from where you placed the guard (granted if you still had time left for the perk. Using Lethal Pursuer helps with this). This happens because Knight teleports to that location for a split second and then the respective guard is placed.

You can find a short opening in a wall and jump over it in a vault

You can fidget after opening a chest (like just tap W to walk into the chest for a moment) to be able to immediately pick up the item, normally you have to wait like a second before getting the option.

9:00 The amount of times I've seen a random die because they were busy taking inactive head traps off in post game is honestly astonishing.

Here's another one: it is more efficient to mend yourself than to let someone mend you. This is because it takes 12 seconds to mend yourself but 8 seconds to mend someone. The second one seems faster but this is false efficiency. If you had 2 survivors in Deep Wounds and they mended themselves, it would take 12 seconds, 2 survivor mending in parallel. But if they mended each other, it would take 16 seconds, 8 seconds for each survivor. You lose 2 seconds of efficiency when you mend another survivor. This easily accumulates when going against Legion.

FYI Scott Ghostface doesnt get knocked out of his power after stalking someone, so you get to keep your Night Shroud if you manage to expose someone unless someone else is nearby looking at you.

One I contributed to that thread: Killer Interactions that put the Killer icon on the Survivor HUD do not count as Conspicuous Actions. This means if you've got Decisive Strike, Off the Record, or even Borrowed Time active you won't lose them if your disarm a bear trap, dispel an Unknown decoy, or cleanse at a Plague fountain without losing them.

Probably a good video for me to drop this question: is it true that Nemesis' tentacle strike will actually prioritize hitting an infected survivor over an uninfected one if they're running together? Had an instance where I was infected with an uninfected teammate body blocking for me and a Nemesis tentacle straight up hit me through the body block, prompting the killer to drop that bit of info in post game chat, but haven't found a source of information to back this up.

I love all the little quirks and techs that dbd has, it's sad that they are slowly getting removed and along with some skill expression. Even if they aren't the most balanced and friendly for beginners, they give dbd some life and replayability.

7:22 True, it was added in the update where they gave him chase music

i also learned that victor tip a few days ago lol. great video

Putting the the turret right outside the tunnel is a good idea if you're working on a gen right next to it. The Xeno will always hit the turret, giving you time to run away. It's like someone taking a hit for you.

7:17 wasn't this mentioned during Ghostface's rework? I totally remember this feature and im surprised Scott doesn't know this or probably missed it

3:19 that legion imitation should be a sub alert

Fun fact, champion light counters, pyramid head when he is using his power. Pyramid head cannot look up or down, but can go left and right. Using champion of light forces the killer to be blind and take the risk to hit you or force to be out of the power so he cannot create a lose lose scenario.

That ending was the funniest part of the part of video.

Clicking "Ready" is faster than waiting the full 60s in the lobby.

I feel like a tip not many survivors tend to pick up on is that I can see them very easily because of their bright yellow auric cell charm.

I always leave my teammates on the hook when they are getting tunneled, but they think im throwing so they kill themselves on the hook and throw the game for the whole team.

someone needs to make a video explaining what all the sounds in dbd mean, like the boon setting sound or the sound that plays when the killer stops being afk. took me way too long to learn some of those sounds

7:16 I can confirm, every since the QoL update they gave to Ghostface, they made it so that marked survivors can't reveal you, very useful for mindgames in chase, or just letting that mark stay and roam the map and potentially letting the survivors mindgame themsselves.

SOLO SURVIVOR OPTIMAL LOADOUT - i have come to after many many hours of testing these perks - 1) BOND - this is key. you need to know where those idiots are and what they are doing. allows you to jump into chases and protect, get the right gens done, go for saves, not go for saves, etc. 2) WINDOWS of OPP- you need this to always know where to go if you are not a master looper. If you're a master looper, great use some other perk instead. 3) KINDRED - similar to 1), it helps you navigate when your teammates are bad, and also helps your team immensely when you are hooked. 4) DISTORTION - this used to be dead hard but i cannot get dead hard to work so i gave up on dead hard. DISTORTION counters almost every killer build now days, and it will be even stronger once they nerf Ultimate Weapon so that you don't scream but only show aura. 80% of the time or more this perk will counter the killer's perks. if it doesn't, they prob have a weaker build anyway.

The ghost face thing is correct. If he exposes you you cannot reveal him. Which makes him extra dangerous since he keeps the undetectable while in chase giving him no red stain.

It is very difficult to hit survivors on stairs as Victor especially if they are above or below you. He will either immediately collide with the stairs above him or go flying if going down elevation.

Crouching to avoid SM drones is not useless but it wastes a lot of time. Just DC and save yourself from 10 minutes of boredom

Mastermind’s infection thing is the most unhealthy thing on the killer side of the game right now. The fact that you get 7% slow down, you’re exposed, and the infection doesn’t get rid of itself when you’re hooked is insane. At minimum the infection should be reset entirely when you’re hooked, like how Skull Merchant’s locked on stacks work.

Lesser known Knight guard interaction with unhooking which might be a reason for the camping reputation: If you aren't being chased by a guard but unhook in the detection radius, the guard WILL detect you through all walls and floors and you won't be able to avoid the hit due to the unhooking animation. Placing a jailer two floors up from the basement basically guarantees a hit on some maps (Coal Tower, Haddonfield etc.) since his detection radius is huge and he patrols the longest.

When you play as a survivor, you don’t have to willingly go down into the basement for a chest

I knew about the crouching to avoid detection from idle Victor but I forget everything I go against twins because that's like a semi annual event to go against twins lmao.

the ghost face one is actually really good especially on players who are comfortable being injured. I don’t know why you would against ghost face unless they are super good at marking. but it’s great because it will help you stay in power longer.

GUYS FOR PLOT TWIST YOU CAN LET THE PERSON HEAL YOU OFF THE GROUND TO 99 THEN PRESS SPRINT TO KICK THEM OFF and THENNNN fully heal urself rather than just not let the person heal you, because they heal you in 16 seconds while u recover in 32 seconds so let them heal you to 99 then recover yourself

The amount of times I've had to tell people about that Dredge fact makes me wanna pull my hair out, they still proceed to lock both of them

A good Knight will predict when the unhook is going to happen, send the guard just past the hook, unhooker gets hunted as theyre unhooking, guard will either hit the unhooker or the unhooked. The guard only cancels at the very start, so you would have to refresh the unhook interaction to counter this. (Only works with long patrol paths, because the guards will begin at 1.9s instead of the 2.5s).

There's like 40 unhook perks in the game, and I never get to use any of them, because my team is always sprinting in the killer's face to unhook someone as soon as they're put on. Meanwhile, the killer: "Oh, gee, I didn't bring Barbecue, I'm not sure where to go to find more survivors now-*BOOM* Oh, guess I just turn around."

About the pig trap one, I had a game where I let someone crawl out the exit gate and was worried they would die cuz I was farming but they didn't. The trap was beeping and was active, so idk if crawling counters that but I thought I should mention that.

did you know pressing the leave game button allows you to leave the game in dbd thus increasing the ammount of serotonin in your brain.

The comp scene is where you find all the secret ones

If you run at the killer you can get an interaction where you go down a health state but get a free speed boost

You can stil get out through the exit gate even when wearing an active Pig head trap if you crawl out.

Why was your killer instinct impression so good 😂😂

Walking against Plague was one of my first discoveries in the game that made me go, this game is actually pretty good with interesting counterplay sometimes. I love using the walk tech against her and forcing M1s before becoming fully infected wasting her time.

That killer instinct impression was sick

You can animation cancel doctors m2 blast with another action like a vault or break action, even pickup

Ghostface main commenting just to confirm When he got his update (faster power recovery, faster crouching, longer exposed) it was also added that a fully marked survivor can not break you out of Night Shroud, they would need to stun you

not being able to reveal ghostface while marked is a pretty common scenario for me, idk

7:21 that ability to not break Ghostface out of his stealth ability came when they buffed him and his add-os, when they also buffed his exposed from 45 seconds to 1 minute basekit.

2:30 As a Xeno main I can 100% guarantee that the radius is the entire map, when Xeno come out of a tunnel he disable all turrets on the map for 3 second without add ons and 5 sec with add ons

Blood Warden reveals auras in the exit gates as well as blocking them. Lotta survivors hide in the exit gates waiting to escape not knowing their aura is perma being shown

Hey Scott, guys here

If Myers Has Tombstone, his left hand will be open, if he doesn't, his hand will be closed

7:15 this is a recent-ish change, it was added whenever they last buffed ghosty

Since the most recent patch a lot of people don't know that plague now gets knocked out of her power when you hit her with head on

That ending tho.

Be aware that locker saves aren't completely gone - it's still possible to get flashlight saved if the survivor somehow makes you to pull away from it instead of grabbing out of it. Flashbangs still can be abused to locker save regardless how you interact with the locker and only lightborn is able to prevent that.

I had this playing in the background. I checked my samsung about 5 times. Well played sir.

The Ghostface tip was added in his buff

Oblivious counters Doc and Legion. If the survivor can't hear the terror radius they arent detected by blood frenzy or shocked by Static blast

If you're not a good looper, learn ways to fake it. I recommend running towards shack and seeing if the killer will drop chase with you. 😂

You can press the "Active Ability" button to activate your active ability.

I played against a knight a few days ago. He set up a gaurd near the hooked survivor. I went in for the unhook while the gaurd was chasing me and the guard disappeared once I was unhooking. Little while later I get hooked and the knight set up a gaurd near me and none of my team mates went to unhook me, even though at least one of them saw what happens when you unhook ehile being charged by a gaurd.

Hitting Ready let's you search for a game

Love the new outro.
