Playing against xenomorph is stupid

[Nanachi Pie]

3 games in a row, my main counter flame turrets, does nothing, blasting her in the face for 3 - 4 seconds, everytime she just hit/tail hit the turret and they died and she stayed in her crawl phase, cant loop as her tail just gets ridiciulous hitreg round corners or over the most insane terrian.... its very unfun to play against her.

Play as xenomorph, learn how their power works then you will have it easier against them, same for all the others killers basically

If you have an issue with 17 of the killers I really suggest you find another game. This ones aesthetic is neat but dont push yourself to play it if its unfun man. I had like 1.3k hours on shinobi striker and I left cause they added unfun jutsu and tools. Why? It was unfun and everyone ran those (also cheaters). Do yourself a favor and dip from the game I promise you'll find another you'll like. Maybe try Gigantic when it rereleases.

Danzan has a bit of a rep on the DBD forums for being extremely biased towards killers xD So if you haven't seen one of his thousand comments about how "x" killer is broken or how "x" killer perk is OP then your in for a treat because your going to see alot of it :P

Lmao I don't take note of names mostly but fair enough that's probably a pass time he enjoys I guess. Ill just assume he enjoys seeing opinions in things

Also there is lot of killer that is unfun to play against too Merch/Nurse/Ranged killers/Anti loopers like Clown, Hag, Trapper, Cenobite, Doll, Doc, newly buffed Pig, annoying powers from Spirit, Plague, Legion, GF, PH, Artist, Knight, almost all killers as u can see and devs don't make them fun to go against and survivors don't want play recently cuz of that

so basically playing dbd is unfun. Agreed

friendly suggestion: if playing against so many killers is unfun for you, you have reached the burnout phase and should rather go and play something else.

1. DO NOT put turret near the station/ portal, it never works. Instead put it near loop, or elevating spot.

2. Try your best to do a chase by running toward a loops or places that have turret deployed already.

3. If you see your teammates put a turret near station/ portal, move it and deploy it where suitable (See point 1). You can only have 4 turrets on the map, they are valuable resources, so don't waste it.

4. DO NOT hide or attempt to do a POV tech against her when she comes out from the station/ portal, she can spot you with killer instinct.

5. DO NOT wait and stand in front of pallet, play against it like Huntress. Mind gaming and baiting her is vital in loop. When you reach a pallet, calculate if you can do one more loop or not. If not, DO NOT just drop the pallet immediately, bait her to think you are greedy for one more loop. By the time she enters the stunt zone, stunt her with the pallet.

6. You can actually hear a notification around 0.5s - 1s before she uses her tail, get the timing right and dodge it when you hear it.

7. This is a more advanced one, but if you are playing with friends, try to deploy a double turrets near to each other. She will be burnt out of power for sure.

8. This point depends on how she plays. Most Xeno uses aura reading perk like BBQ, so after a survivor got hook try to leave the gen you are repairing (unless you are about to complete it) if she has a trend that she teleports to the furthest gen every time after she hook a survivor.

9. If are are chasing around shack or building like heddonfield, DO NOT hug the wall, rather run a bit further from wall, so you have option to dodge her tail by moving left or right side.

I've played both as her and against her, You just need to learn that you can't verse her and play like you do with every other killer. Stunning Xeno with pallets simply isn't an option unless your *really* good at dodging with the old "duck & turn" method.

Flamethrower turrets - I see teammates & survivors often place them out in the open, This aint the play, The xeno can't see the Aura of flamethrower turrets (with the exception of one addon) You should use this to your advantage and place them near spots she will be forced to enter such as near Generators, Inside the killer shack, Near important loops and maybe even near some pallets, If you place them out in the open she will either Destroy it with her tail and then chase you or she'll ignore it and chase you anyway. However if you've placed it in a location she is *forced* to go in, then you'll burn her with the turret and force her out of "tail mode" where she won't be able to hit you with it for a minute or two. This means during a chase she is either going to focus you and lose her ability to tail or she will attack the turret giving you a second or two to leave

*don't place them near tunnels, if she exits a tunnel it will deactivate nearby turrets for a brief time*

Pre-drop pallets - Unless your really good at dodging her tail (most people aren't) you need to get used to the fact you probably aren't going to be able stun her without atleast being hit, If you pre-drop the pallet (drop it ahead of her during chase) she will be forced to break it or go around it giving you some time, If you drop it during the chase she'll just stab you with her tail as she is quite "anti loop" like that

Perk "Ultimate weapon" Don't forget about her perk (its very strong atm), if she opens a locker it will make your scream showing your location, if you don't have calm spirit ya probably screwed ngl so its best to move quickly after screaming or at least hide as i see alot of teammates scream and actively continue doing generators (yet are shocked when they get hooked)

Stiff Tail - If you've actually played as her you know that her tail is stiff AF, While you can still turn a little and hit people, It's not anywhere near as "flexible" as Nemesis tentacle. If your being chased and you know she is gonna tail you, Then do sharp turns around solid objects like walls/cars/fences. Her tail is a bit dodgy so bushes only work about 50% of the time (don't rely on them)

even calm spirit doesnt counter it, they still get the aura read, which is just stupid

Completely false statement.

Ultimate Weapon doesn't give you aura reading, it gives off last known location of the survivor at the very moment of the scream.
And your statement is false, Calm Spirit completely counters that aspect of the perk, it doesn't counter the side effect of the perk, which is the Blindness status effect.

Are you sure? Cause i've seen myself it work multiple times when im using UW

Even have a clip i found online

And another

From my experience it has always blocked both the scream as well as the scream alert on screen

You need to set up turret zones to pass through while in chase. These zones should never be in or next to the path to be traveled. Ideally you want the alien to not see it as they approach so they can’t disable it with a quick tail stack. Think of turrets more like a slow effect rather than disabling effect.

It is likely a lot aliens are running the anti stager addons so always play as if they are.

Last I recommend playing any killers you are having issues with; this will help you understand how to counter them.

[State Line Crosser]

Two turrets are a guaranteed power stopper btw. They will either have to spend 20 seconds disarming them or lose their power to keep chasing. Setting it up is harder unless the game spawns two tunnels 4m from each other (super fun as xeno :).

Xeno has to pre fire the tail attack going around obstacles to get the most out of it so just keep that in mind while looping. Once it hits any object the hitbox ends. It also has problems with elevation because of this.

i dont agree with most your list on killers that arent fun to go against. i like cenobite because the gameplay is refreshed with having to get the box and fighting off the chains.

i agree that the turrets should be buffed. the do next to nothing most the time.

[GraveTrail]

you don't put turrets next to gens. you put them mid loop so they can counter the tail.

it is a skill issue you're experiencing not the game's fault you can't bother to learn basic things.

Do you think that I just play DBD non-stop? I work and play other games too, but mostly I play dbd, so don’t tell me what to play, I don’t like advice from killer mains, and my opinion about these killers coincides with almost all the survivor mains, but not with streamers who can't criticize dbd
