Dont understand the hype of infectious fright or shadowborn on nurse

[3bigballz]

I tried shadowborn, barely made a difference, i wasnt able to "track survivors easier" like many people suggested. and infectious fright 1. its a scream, so it shows a general location, but it isnt that accurate, so it it isnt worth the fact that most of the time nobody is going to be around you when you down someone. (im a rank 5 nurse if that gives any info)

[Keyrala]

Shadowborn removes that annoying fade to black for nurse and legion when going all self stun mode. Also makes maps look brighter so it shows the middle finger to claudette p3 predator mode.

That scream shows the exact location of the survivor when you down someone, they won't be there but it helps you know what direction to take if you want to slug that target and go for someone else, wich buys you some time. It also helps you know nobody is around so no pallet/flashlight save.

Even if you don't go for that person they might asume since their character sceams that it's time to find somewhere to hide.

Both are amazing on Nurse. Shadowborn might be working more than you realize it does. It really helps you to keep track of survivors during loops and gives you more accuracy on your blinks.

Infectious Fright can snowball the whole team. It doesnt always work but in some games it does wonders. I like it on Billy.

Since you probably are old - you might consider Doctor over other killers as tracking isn't a problem for him.

Distressing + calm + order addons will help you greatly in finding survivors.

Nurse main here:

I hate to admit this, but Shadowborn is quite nice on Nurse. For a long time I played without Shadowborn and used Ruin instead. But after using Shadowborn for a bit, I can see why Nurses like it so much. Because it makes you more comfortable playing Nurse. Try playing with and without Shadowborn for a while and you'll see what I'm talking about.

To be fair, I still don't think Shadowborn is required on Nurse. If you play without the perk you can still do very well. But you'll miss out on the comfortability factor, which as a Nurse main I must admit is very nice to have (this comfortability factor can help you stay in control btw in case of a rough game).

As for Infectious Fright, it can be devastating on Nurse. Sure, if a survivor is right at the 32 meter range, then it might be hard to find that survivor. But if a survivor is closer you can usually find them pretty quickly. Infectious Fright in many cases will severely punish survivors that are clustered together. Just make sure you have the blinking skills to punish the survivors.

Infectious Frgiht is crazy on Nurse. If you are within 32m and she knows where you are you might as well be dead. She can get to your position before you can evade. Can still be countered if you know how to dodge Nurse, but it's not something most survivors know how to do, so Nurse is very dangerous with IF.

The problem is you are using infectious fright on nurse, the killer that looks at the ground after downing somebody lol. Your supposed to use it on Billy.

I disagree with IF on nurse - it isn't that good.

Yeah I had a Nurse do this. She can afford to slug for a bit and put some pressure on. Plus there is some cheeky nurse that just let's survivor get picked up AND then she downs him again knowing full well the survivor who picked him up is nearby. Securing a 4k

I would never run shadowborn in its current state because I remember what it used to be like pre nerf (shadowborn+brightest moonlight literally looked like a sunny afternoon).

That being said some monitors and graphics cards are better than others. My monitor is super bright even with the brightness down to zero. I've never had problems finding p3 claudette hiding in the shadows but that may just be how well I see in the dark.

Your mileage may vary but it's incredibly good if you are the type of player who can do blink blink hit, blink blink hit with extreme precision. Marth for example makes incredible use of this perk but we are not all up to that level.

The thing about ruin is that not using it means you can lose a generator in under 30 seconds if survivors spawn close together. I don't know if it is just this patch but that seems to be happening all the time now.

Moreover when you don't use ruin you risk losing the game in under 4 minutes (even happened to Marth recently as nurse)

I've been running Dying Light and it is super effective at preventing the last 2 gens.

That perk is so gross. You get nothing if the marked survivor dies or leaves the game. You buff one of the survivors for the entire game for 30% and you really don't have a very big bonus most of the time.

I still hook them regularly. If they die they die.

i think they removed shadowborn making maps lighter

In fectious freight does not works with m2 attacks. To play billy using m1 you rather play anything else tbh.
Im doing great with my plag slugging build. It cluthed my games many times. Specially if you add noed

Pretty sure it does. Unless they changed the perk because last time I checked Zubat was using it on Billy and everyone screams with a Saw.
