How can huntress win without slowdown?
I legit see people running no slowdown and I litterally hook 1 person as huntress and 2 gens pop before I can even begin the game. Mind you it's not like i'm taking very long chases.

Good addons? With the cd reductions you can potentially down their whole team in seconds.

Doubt it, I litterally just played Crotus Prenn on the Chapel version and i litterally got 1 hit in and 2 gens popped even though i found someone quickly. Game still feels so bad and unfun to play. I want to enjoy DBD but every match is just torture.

They're extremely good huntresses. She's a high-tier killer so if you're good with her power you can get away with the quick gen times by getting multiple downs and having extremely short chases. Personally, I have to run her with Pain Res to make some time back from the chases. Other than that: Iron Maiden, Darkness Revealed, and Lethal Pursuer. Minimal time reloading combined with aura reading when I need it. If I down a survivor and another is near by I don't just pick up, I try to snowball the pressure with short term slugging.

I'd recommend bringing Corrupt Intervention maybe. Survivors can't camp their spawn gen and are forced onto the map. Lethal Pursuer is better for her, because it helps other aura reading perks, but until you feel confident in ending chases in under 15 seconds it's a good way to buy some early game space. Genrush is forcing sweaty playstyles though because every killer can only afford 15 seconds a chase against good-ish survivors.

So i need to continue to torture myself to unlock perks to even then have a decent build to begin playing the game with? Because I hate nemesis and am just going to have to play surv or another killer to funnel him bloodpoints to get a single perk. Still hating the perk system in this game. Looks like its time for another break...

Bbq, bitter murmer, discordance and iron maiden are great beginner perks that will give you an idea where to aim and practice crossmap hits.

You don't actually have to play them, just spend BP on them and continue playing huntress.

You're going to have to "torture" yourself and practice her shots anyway. The perks only help so much, so use some add ons in the meantime that will give you quicker aim and decreased wind up, and that'll give you some more confident hits.

For this beginner build, you'll just need to do legion and bubba, and huntress herself. Getting them all to P3 should only take a couple of weeks. Which is not nearly as long as it used to take.

Play huntress to get some fun hits, and not about winning first and foremost. Eventually you'll be getting those hits, having fun and winning!

Also, always bait survivors into dropping a pallet, you can hit over it, and almost always get a free hit because they forget they need to duck or think you're gonna just loop.

Hope this helps!!

Also, look up coconutrts on YouTube. Watch his vids, as he is a huntress main. Grear advice! Make sure you're comfortable with your mouse settings, too fast sensitivity can actually hinder you.

Unfortunately, bhvr is pretty attached to having lots of grind in the game. Once you get on the other side it's not too bad.

I went against a good Huntress the other day and was absolutely annihilated. Fastest honest match I've had in months. I don't know how they do it, because I suck with her, but there are people who definitely do it.

Practice. Lots of practice.

The W in throe hatchet also lines up with the center of the screen.

That's an interesting tip, I didn't know that. Keep an eye on the "W".

But yeah she was amazing. Super precise, good addons, stayed on me and eliminated me from the match in like 3 and a half minutes. It was brutal.

By being good? Bringing good addons and aura perks. I used to regularly at least 2k with no slow down at all. But all aura perk.
Now I use no way out so I can relax while getting the win lol
No but fr it is mainly getting good at the killer knowing when to pull up and when not to etc

Really, it's just a case of being good with her.

It's a bit dependent on the map -- a Huntress is gonna get cucked in pretty much indoor map, but she's one of the few killers who can pressure multiple locations at once, and of the few who exist, she's the one who does it the best -- if you get good at her.


Nothing in this game beats the feeling of elation of downing survivors from 50+ meters away with hatchets in my opinion. Even better when they're completely unaware.

Also, if you intersect the w in throw hatchet with the top of her axe, that's the center of the screen.

Huntress can snowball pretty well and make unhook scenarios impossible

You are by no means obligated to run Lethal; that's just the build I run. Corrupt Intervention is a fine substitute. Lethal is there for the synergy it gets with Darkness Revealed and because you can get health states right at the start of the game with well thrown hatches; but Corrupt Intervention still delays gen progress and helps you find survivors sooner by pushing them away from spawn.

But yes; having a greater variety of perks helps in general; and frankly Nemesis has two very strong perks.

I run pure aura builds as for me it translates to a lot of injures/downs.
Lethal pursuer, Bitter murmur, BBQ and Darkness revealed.

Now ofcourse that doesn't work very well on every map and you need to hit your shots a majority of the time.

Huntress has tons of bad maps and loops that are just complete pain.
Learning maps for spots where you can throw through gaps and over loops is important and you'll most likely need to just watch tons of huntress gameplay to learn most of them while also discovering some yourself.

Most of her addons are very good and can have a big impact on how you play and what kind of tricks you can do.

Lethal will help you with early pressure to stop multiple gens from popping very fast once you get better at playing huntress - arcing throws, loops, gaps, predicting movement and patterns of movement, knowing what gens you don't really care about at all and can give up on, knowing loops on some maps where you just don't go because it's a complete waste of time to chase people there and then just general game knowledge things and things that i might've not mentioned.

The bots can help a little bit with throwing practice but they're way too smart while also being very stupid. -> https://streamable.com/iqeygi
If you're not going to hit them they 99% of the time don't dodge and if you would hit them they will dodge 50% of the time depending on where they are.

Teams with strong items and builds are always going to be a pain and since the only thing the "meta shake up" did was replace DS with adrenaline and BT with prove or a dealers choice perk. DH is getting back to the point of 4 per team and it hurts huntress a lot.
