Even when the villain shoots a Survivor, his ability to reel that Survivor is not guaranteed. For if a Survivor makes use of their environment or resists the action for long enough, the Deathslinger's chain will break and it will leave the killer stunned and allow the survivor the opportunity to esc

Evolve's most recognizable achievement was changing the formula from symmetrically sized teams to asymmetric sized teams, in addition to the different styles of gameplay mechanics between the two sides. This trend has carried over into the current plethora of asymmetric games. Rather than having an even number of players on both teams, Evolve popularized the concept in which a few players take on a singular player with overly powerful abilities and the ability to endure large quantities of damage. This formula is often abbreviated as a "4v1" system, or however many players the numeric value represents for each team in a particular g

Gearhead is further limited because it does not activate from special attacks, such as either Leatherface or Hillbilly’s chainsaw, or hatchets thrown by the Huntress, and is all but counterproductive outside of certain M1 killers. Even in select builds, the conditions required to gain any information are simply too demanding compared to something like Discordance, which offers what could be argued as superior information with no input needed from the kil

Fighting games like Street Fighter 2 or have opposing players working towards the same objective of defeating the other but can choose between different tools to accomplish this goal, with one of many distinct fight

The primary tool in Hillbilly's arsenal is his notorious chainsaw attack. Hillbilly will begin to rev up his chainsaw for a few seconds and then initiate a rapid charge sprinting through the given arena. This move allows the Hillbilly to cover immense ground during this charge and provides the Killer unprecedented sp

Without a doubt, the "Chains of Hate" DLC brings a welcome addition to Dead by Daylight with the introduction of the Deathslinger. This is not to say that the killer will be a top-tier choice for wiping out entire teams of survivors with ease, but rather that the design is unique, interesting, and most importantly, accessible for most play

Skip ahead to 2015 and Evolve was released by 2K Games and a group of developers who previously helped create Left 4 Dead by Daylight Maps before departing Valve. Given the prestige of the minds behind Evolve's development, there was high hopes for the game, which attempted to change the formula of asymmetric multiplayer games and offer some interesting innovations and twists, while moving the genre into the mainstr

The reason being that his high speed from Feral Frenzy lets him dart between survivors inflicting deep cuts, the more clustered together everyone is the easier it is to zip between targets. Finding ways to cause these groupings is key to Legion’s succ

A common tactic that Survivors will use is the "serpentine" pattern in their running. This serpentine pattern revolves around players running side to side in a slither like pattern to avoid being hit or shot. So being able to read this pattern and leading your harpoon shot to their path is a must for succ

Playing Hillbilly is not a rather difficult task. His relative ease of use is why he is considered to be one of the strongest Killers in the game. With an arsenal of seemingly simple tools that can be extraordinarily deadly in the right hands. A good Hillbilly will mold this seemingly simple arsenal and optimize it until the character is a killing machine. So being creative with the "vanilla" killer will turn even a novice player into a high caliber killer in Dead by Dayli

The allure of this killer's harpoon is extremely prevalent for a new player. The idea that this killer can snatch a survivor and dish out extreme damage is one which any killer player would be head over heels for. But given the skills large punishment for a missed or broken harpoon shot, it is important that the technique is not used reckles

Hex: Retribution is the final new perk, and it too has the potential for effective synergy when paired with other perks. The prevalence of the No One Escapes Death (NOED) perk, which allows certain killers the ability to secure sacrifices in the endgame more effectively, is one example that would work well toget

Deathslinger's The Redeemer is a powerful long-ranged harpoon that allows the killer to launch a spear attached to a chain in an enemy's body. Once launched the Deathslinger can reel the survivor in and dish out a powerful blow downing the player. This makes the Deathslinger one of the few ranged killers within the cast. Making avoiding the character a near impossibil

Finally, it is important to use abilities that synergize well with Hillbilly's ability. Teachable perks like Barbeque and Chili play well into Hillbilly's hand and make him a quick and versatile threat for even the most slippery Survivors. Barbeque being one of the best perks for Hillbilly as it allows the Killer to see any enemy in range of the Killer after hooking a Survivor. This essentially turns Hillbilly from a chainsaw-wielding fiend into a missile locked onto a specific target. Provided his incredible speed and one hit kill potent
