where is the counter to basically any ranged killer?

[lunacid (she/her)]

the classic 'put something between you and the killer dosent work 80% of the time pyramid head dosent work deathslinger barely works and huntress it dosent work so tell me where is the counter they dont have one huntress dosent take that much skill and nether does DS the lack of counters to them make them so agonizing to play against

Don't fly in straight lines.

within 12 metres slingers harpoon moves faster then i can react so its basically a free hit/down for him

Then don't try to react. Run in more erratic patterns or misguide him by sticking with a direction for a bit longer and then change direction. Don't make it easy on him to spear you. Make him really work for it.

if their arms raise their weapon its time to block their line of sight from you and if you cant do that then run perpendicular to them (strafe left or right unpredictably)

play these killers and youll see how the better survivors will watch you and at the moment you appear to be ready to shoot they'll strafe to juke the shots. and on rare occasions you can duck under the hatchet/spear

gunslinger you can disrespect further by dropping a pallet and forcing him to break it since he cant reel you over a dropped pallet so he cant put you in the dying state at all as long as it's in between you 2

Ummmm, mid level walls and such? juke left right and hope to get lucky? it is not that hard. if the killer hits you, they hit you. but it is pretty simple to attempt to avoid the hits.

if you turn around and use the point emote at the right time you can deflect their projectiles

they're my favourite killers to play against...

[Pankake]

Most people here dont understand that, good Deathslingers know that the survior has no choice but to waste time and try to dodge a lot when out in the open. Which all the death slinger has to do is spam M2 so that way you get zoned out and have no where to go, but if you dont respect his instant aim and shoot tactics, then you get harpooned anyways, creating a lose-lose scenario. This is exactly why people hated playing against PH, and spirit. Because you are esentially forced into lose lose scenarios regardless of your skill.

Deathslinger - keeping distance; camping pallets and dropping them early; breaking line of sight; mixing between strafing and running straight behind corners.
Huntress - learning Huntress player's playstyle and playing off of it; skipping open pallets and preferring walled structures; knowing which pallets to drop early and which to play; baiting out stuns. Huntress heavily relies on the map. Some maps are really tough for Huntress.
Pyramidhead - you can react to him executing the ranged attack; baiting out stuns works on him aswell.
It is crucial to make as much distance as possible when hit against these killers as they're all immobile. Especially true against DS.

Experienced DSs, Huntresses and Pyramids can be near impossible to run for long, but you don't necessarily have to as the biggest counter to those killers is genrush. They're not mobile at all with Huntress and DS being the least mobile killers in the game. If your team is able to hold m1 well and counter 3gens those killers won't get more than 2k.
