Hardcore Plague main recommendations?

CornHub · January 29, 2021

Are there any streamers who are hardcore Plague mains and play mostly plague? I've seen the popular plague guides/builds, but that only gets you so far.

I don't know about streamers. Fungoose and I think Jae has some videos on them on youtube.

I play her a lot at rank 1 (no rundying too) and my friends say my leaderboard score is good.. but I don't stream sadly. Don't have the bandwidth.

I would love getting into youtube if I have the time I saw most of the guides on youtube mostly only just focusing on builds, no one talks about what your gameplan should be and all the little techs she can do.

Plague is a good killer "when the game decides her power works". But she takes way too much effort to make her work well, and she has a ton of glaring weakness that survivors can hard counter her with and she doesn't always have the best time trying to recover from mistakes. So I can understand why people get so frustrated playing her for long amounts of time. Seeing a survivor scream and play the vommited animation only for the game not to register any of the vomits is super disheartening to watch. She also makes ######### bloodpoints and bhvr has barely given her any good cosmetics in years.

I main plague she needs a build that works regardless of if survivors cleanse meaning you come out on top.

I use pop, blood echo, infectious fright, and thano/bbq depending if you want to be more chase or slow down focused.

some quick tips

always use pools you pass by except in the beginning of the game, don't go too far out of your way for them tho and also use then like candy if survivors are cleanse heavy.
don't spend time breaking a survivor unless no one is infected and even then if they present a free hit depending if they are at a loop you should take it.
She needs to get full use from corrupt purge, infectious fright makes her very deadly so when using it you have to slug and try to get 2-3 downs before hooking them all.
While in corrupt purge if your passing through a pallet fully charged just let the stream release and try to hit the survivor if they use the pallet, if they continued to run adjust your aim accordingly. At loops you can shoot over just spam it while looping and you will hit them.
ALWAYS try to corner survivors to get free downs you can even do this while chasing if the survivor is dodging by pressing them into a corner, i have done this soooo many times even in little parts of walls that stick out at the center.

I have to second this about Fungoose. He's the Plague player you want to watch. He streams and has youtube videos you can watch.
