How to play against Doctor?

[BeTaFleXx]

I dont know how to behave against him, does any one have tips ?

He can be a little overwhelming.

If your group doesn't each pull its own weight there isn't much you can do.

1. Get in Madness 1 asap, you can't tell how much progress you have so it's best to just let it happen.
2. Use closets to drop Madness progression, but try to find one that is far from where he might be going, since while you are in his TR it won't regress. It will stop progressing too though, so use it if you are about to hit another Madness tier but Doc isn't chasing you.
3. If he uses Shock Therapy range addons, then your best bet at dodging is going up close since the cone is very narrow there.
4. Don't try to camp pallets, if you know that he will try to shock you - drop it.

Have your Tier 1 pop as early as possible so it doesn't pop when you're busy on a gen or saving.

Try to juke his Treatments when he's charging.

After getting hit by a Shock you cannot do anything for a few seconds, it allows for free hits. DO NOT stand by Pallets or Walls if he's guarenteed to hit you. Just vault or use them and make some distance.

Once you're in Tier 2 it's just annoying. Watch all skillchecks seriously, his shake can mess you up. His hallucinations/clones gives him your location and direction. Be wary when they pop up for a bit, they're letting him know where you are.

The Heartbeat and Red Stain hallucinations aren't too bad if you know where he's at...so...keep watch of where he's at. It's a good way to counter him.

Once you're in Tier 3 all the previous afflictions are still there but now you scream periodically now giving your location. Once you've lost the Killer you need to "Snap Out Of It". If you don't you'll continue to give away your location.

Best way to beat a doctor is to just do gens and stay outside his terror radius. His radius is equal to his madness distance.

Lockers will prevent you from screaming and your terror gauge from going up. If you see electricity at your feet. Hide in the locker till he is gone or keep moving. Tap gens to throw him off so you can move to another one and work on it while he patrols that others.

If the doctor knows what hes doing dont pallet loop or window spam the shock will stop actions for a few seconds.

Since I normally play solo, and I do play Killer Doc occassionally.
Find it really hard to play against a 'Capable' Doc especially with three complete strangers,
sadly most often doesn't know to hit the generators while its hot.

Basically a 'grab as much points' as I can on the outer regions, with my playstyle,
before then die trying to be a hero.

If met with capable survivors who 'knows how',
commonly a game ending with proper scores for all including killer.

Someone said pop madness 1 as soon as possible...DO NOT DO THAT. For all you know the player may have an addon that has some kind of affliction, and that could possibly screw you over at the start of the game.

As soon as you hear the sound of the static field - RUN. Hug a wall, hide in a locker. Do all you can to hide from the Staic Field. Hiding in lockers will prevent madness.

As soon as you see the shock at your feet, no matter what you're doing, run or hide in a locker.

I'm a doctor player and when I go up against him I get madness one straight away. Any affliction that you may get is either added during chase or its pallets that don't exist.

In a chase drop pallets asap and get away, if you don't he'll up you too tier three and then you can't do anything but scream.

If you hear the heartbeat check the meter on your screen, if it's not going up it's just one of his afflictions.

Take your time with all checks as they can turn up anywhere on screen.

If you see an image of him so can he so be wary of it as this is one of the ways he will track you.

His terror radius can be massive as this is one of the better ways to go track people.

He is slow and easy to dodge but your best bet is to get to madness 1 and just move around getting gens.

Eh, I wouldn't be one to purposefully pop Madness I. The longer you stay out of it, the better. Just a preference though, do as you like.
