Any advise or good builds for Hitchhiker?

[Zarok]

Been looking for a good build for him and any advise to someone who hasn't played him much would be welcome. I've so far played and leveled Leatherface, Cook and Sissy on family side now working on leveling Hitchhikers ability along with perks.

I am not a great HH, but Dinner Bell and Scout are two I have seen mentioned in other threads. I personally use Dinner Bell, Scout and Tracker Tagged but I am sure there are better builds out there!!!

Scout, venom, <pretty much any increase damage perk>

Skill - trap difficulity, trap damage, trap over time damage

People love falling down from over time damage, trust me. :) This will also make you deadly chaser, especially if they hit into your trap first and then you start chasing.

My advice would be to experiment with lot of trap locations. Consider at least 3 or 4 times if fusebox is worth it because it usually isn't. Experiment and if people run to traps.. keep those. GL!

Venom combined with the level 3 bleed ability makes traps do a respectable amount of damage over time, on top of the immediate trap damage. Dinner bell is pretty useful as well.

Understand that traps can be just as useful cutting off an area from chases as they are for catching victims. The gaps in front of the house on gas station, for instance. You can also completely block the front stairs basement exit on family house, and the holding pen basement exit on slaughterhouse if you place your trap just around the corner from the top of the stairs.

Going to try some of these perks might put Dinner Bell on since I never know which trap sets off.

Use your killer instict ability and you can make out which one is broken.

Oh that works too. Though doesn't that have a distance range?

You can go the other way for venom instead of serrated but having used both, I find serrated more useful. You also get 2 less attributes going venom but it's nbd.

Hmm might look into that.
