Deathslinger is the Best Killer Ever Made

[Y'hate T'see It]

Literally the first time I've ever felt like it's my game to lose while simultaneously not feeling straight up overpowered like with a teleport or insta-down mobility m2. Well done BHVR

What? You say that he's bad but also not OP?


He's mediocre at best since he has no map pressure and his power is way to reliant on a ton of factors.

No no I don't think he's bad at all. I'm saying that with other killers it feels like you're just running circles waiting for survivors to mess up, while with Deathslinger it feels like if you're good with harpoons you can end chases much earlier than they otherwise would. Nurse and Billy also give that feeling but their chases are just non-existent once you've mastered them

Ah, I see I misread it.

No he said "its his game to lose" which means the only reason he is going to lose is because he caused it. I would disagree, he's too slow for any generator pressure at any point in the game. Think about any other 110% or slower killer, Hag has traps that allow her to traverse large areas of the map quickly, Huntress can throw hatchets which injure instantly and can travel large distances, Spirit can phase out of sight and travel faster while doing so, Nurse can teleport large distances.

His power isn't strong enough to justify a 110% movement speed imo.

Eh you can do some funky stuff with it like pull survivors off of the second floor to you or shoot after a vault and pull them back for a hit through the window. He's not God tier but 110% doesn't feel too terrible imo

He will reward good play at the very least.

[Budoshi]

i agree day one buy from me.

[Vomit]

He's is B tier at best. Not competitive at higher ranks, worse than Huntress in multiple ways.

[KevaCam]

I'm certain he will be given a faster base move speed or maybe faster reel in speed before the test is over. He already looks really fun to play and vs as there is a chance that his power might not get you when hooked if you're smart enough.

Either give him base movespeed or make the base chain stronger so taking shots past 10 meters is worth your time.

As much as I love the Huntress, you have to break a chase if you want to reload with her. With Caleb you can reload while still after survs

I think your just getting the "new killer placibo effect"
you think it is godly, but once players figure out how to play aginst him he will fall to the wayside

I've PTB tested every killer since Legion and can say without a doubt that none of them felt close to as well balanced as this one

[Draykoss]

I agree he's probably the most rewarding killer but I'd want them to replace those terror radius add-ons for range add-ons, and movement speed increase. Super fun all around to play as and against
