The Hillbilly on console
Hey guys, i wanted to ask for some tips for Billy on Console, is it very hard to play him on controller? Is he weaker here? Is it viable to playing him in red ranks? Keep in mind i use 100% sens. on controller :) thanks guys.

I play Billy occasionally on console and to me he definitely is viable.
The main tip (which is regardless of console or pc) is to not overuse your chainsaw, otherwise you won't have it in chase or you wont be able to rotate around the map quickly.
Flicking is possible just a bit harder, you can still turn at normal speed for the first bit of your dash which allows you to make 90 degrees turns very quick at the start, often catching survivors out. This does take a small bit of learning but isnt too hard.
The main perks that work well on Billy are BBQ, Whispers, Ruin (and undying if you want it), Pop, Enduring, Infectious, Tinkerer (To an extent), Monitor (also to an extent) and even Bamboozle depending on your playstyle. My current build is BBQ, Enduring, Ruin and Infectious, however Pop often replaces Ruin depending on my mood.
Finally, Billy is playable without add ons, and I wouldnt reccomend using any as they can mess with your muscle memory.
Good thing is i dont use addons, ever lol, what sens. you use? Why people consider that Oni is better than Billy?
I use max sensitivity which naturally helps a lot with flicks.
Also, people consider Oni better than Billy as, while he has to gain his power, once he does get his power he gains a serious amount of momentum after downing one or two survivors. Billy's power cant be used at a lot loops while Onis can be used at most loops to some extent.
Oh okay, thanks for respondind brother, any tips how to practice him and stuff?
I use the chainsaw when I am close to survivor and the chances to hit are really high, but if you are picking him for first time, dont be affraid, just use chainsaw every time you can until you got the timing.
Use it for moving around the map, try to move betwen obstacles, try to flick small loops and things like that.
I used to practice my chainsaw when I got bully squads, ignoring them and just moving around the map and overheating the chainsaw trying new things.
Billy is not easy, for me, he is the second hardest killer in the game on console,Nurse is the first, but IMO is super rewarding when you dominate him enough to deal with controllers limitations.
doesn't keyboard and mouse work on console?
welp switch to PC then, no need to pay to play online
It's not that simple. There's no Cross Progression nor is it likely ever coming, so we'd have to rebuy everything and regrind from scratch. Those of us with thousands of hours and decent $$ into this game are not really wanting to do that. Would you?
If you're just starting, spend a few matches just zooming around the map with your chainsaw, not focusing on hitting anyone with your chainsaw, it let's you get the feel for it. Once you get used to it, start only using your chainsaw and never use your M1 (unless the survivor is already injured or something similar) this allows you to yet again get the feel of how to hit your chainsaw when you're right behind the survivor.
After that, you can hit survivors as much as you want with or without your chainsaw. You'll learn when it's a good move to use your chainsaw and when it's a good move to use your weapon instead.
