Thank you very much FairP1ayer, it was exactly that. I went to the store and the DLC that I was missing was the option to download, and they were already unlocked in the game.
I was gonna suggest the same thing he did as I had the same issue when I made the switch glad you figured it out

I agree with everything said here

Why did you post it twice tho?

Then someone is lying or it's a location thing. The ques are either long or they aren't. They're long for me. Especially, after 5 pm Central time.
East coast us for me ques are the same at 8pm and 2am for me atleast

Me too. My ques take a long time as survivor. Instant survivor ques must be a low MMR thing.
Yeah same I'd love to have instant ques when I play survivor instead I get 5-25 minutes

- I said "at least 45 seconds" not in exactly 45 seconds.
- 45 seconds is 56% of a gen but that's a moot point and not relevant to the topic at hand.
OP is arguing that killers can do "absolutely nothing" at shack and that downing a survivor in SWF is "literally impossible" without perks like Bamboozle. All I'm saying is that is untrue and there ARE in fact ways to shorten the loop as killer. I'm genuinly agast that this is a controversial statement.
Oh I'm not arguing what op is arguing and saying it's impossible entirely I'm arguing something completely different entirely
I'm arguing shack is a huge time waster vs good survivors and is a loop you should just leave
Ik you'll get the down eventually you and I both know that me and you aren't arguing I agree with your point entirely
I'm just saying as a killer playing vs someone as good as me it's really not in your best interest to play shack with me it's not worth the time wasted
The ironic part is I really don't play that much survivor but I watch a ton of good survivors play and I probably got about 3k to 5k hours on deathslinger so that's the only reason I'm a above average survivor

@OnryosTapeRentals said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2697876#Comment_2697876
So what you're saying is that a killer playing "quite well" against a "really good survivor" IS in fact able to catch up at shack in at least 45 seconds?
Because that sounds to me like exactly what myself and others in this thread have been saying - it's entirely possible to hit survivors at shack if you loop it right.
I said 45 seconds at the minimum as a guess I don't think he actually catches me that fast and even if he does it would easily be way longer with a flashy cause I'd drop shack pallet at some point
Also damn didn't know we was out here acting like 45-50 secs isn't over half a gen that's wild

@OnryosTapeRentals said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2697835#Comment_2697835
But there ARE ways to shorten the loop as killer and force the survivor to take an M1. Multiple people have already explained the correct way to loop shack. If a killer is unable to catch up wuth a survivor at shack then they aren't playing well 🤷
Like I said I'll record a vid of me and my pal
I would say he's pretty decent he's got like 3k hours and plays trapper quite well
I'm just a really good survivor and like I said I'd bet money he won't catch me for at least 45 seconds to 1:30 minutes

At this point it's clear you're not actually interested in advice. You're poking holes in every piece of information provided and coming up with incredibly weak explanations for why well-known and successful tactics won't work.
I understand admitting you are, or have been, doing something wrong is difficult but this kind of attitude will not help you improve at the game.
I'm not saying that he's not playing it wrong
But I can defs agree that if a survivor wants to not be caught at shack they won't be caught
I can record a vid of me and my buddy playing it with him trying to mind game
I promise you he won't catch me atleast not for quite some time
Maybe I'll post it tomorrow I gotta wait till he gets off work

The normal TR really kills him. He's a 110 with no mobility and a range-limited projectile. Huntress has a huge lullaby because she can damage you from a really long distance. So can Trickster, although he's worse at it. Deathslinger can't do that and the element of stealth was a necessary design balance for the downsides he has over other similar killers - very limited shots, precise hitboxes, more slowdown to shoot. Right now there is zero reason to play him over Huntress. There just isn't.
Give him a 24m lullaby if M&A was that much of a problem, but please get rid of the normal TR.
I agree even if they slightly un nerfed it and made it 28 but have m&a still work I would love that
The whole point of the small tr was so survivors wouldn't start pre running before you got anywhere near close enough because he can only shoot 18meters
Nowadays by the time you get there they are halfway across the map and safely to a loop they can crouch behind
I have to always run m&a and stbfl on him to compete against decent teams and that just sucks to be forced to run 2 perks cause it means I really only have 2 slots
-
Can you guys please stop playing slinger I was trying to be the solo contributor to his kills and escapes lol
Maybe then they'll give him some buffs 😂
Make sure you let one get away every now and then I let one get away just yesterday cause as soon as I picked him up hatch spawned right next to me I felt bad about killing him cause Ik if I was him I'd be like damn

@Labrac said:
I've been using Iri Coin during this event and it's hilarious the amount of free downs I've got from these snowmen.
I like the ones that reduce the stun when a chain breaks because with both it almost feels like Max stacks stbfl 👍

I’m not a twins main, I don’t have them but I will still up vote
I agree I also don't have twins but I like watching people play twins so I hope they get love
I play slinger and he recently got made almost unplayable so I hate for twins to be unplayable
To me theirs no reason you should suffer a 8 second stun just for using your power that's longer then a legion stun and a slinger reload combined

Jokes on you
Because of how insufferable the snowmen have become and how they've ruined matches for multiple other killers that I play regularly- I have converted to playing Deathslinger nearly exclusively for the duration of the event, precisely because of this little loophole.
I can't imagine anybody would have the audacity to claim that Snowmen should really be a full counter and offer full protection from all killer powers- especially killers in less than satisfactory positions of balance like Slinger. So for this years winter event- Deathslinger is the neat little trick for killers who don't want to deal with snowmen to use- and survivors need to deal with that and reconcile with the fact they won't be able to jump into 3 balls of snow in a top hat and mittens right in the killers face to avoid a state of damage.
I think that's fair all things considered.
Oh I agree completely actually im loving this event cause I only play slinger with stbfl like I might change my other three perks but that's one I never take off so when I see them jump in a snowman that's just another stack for me

@dugman said:
I’m sure the devs had a reason to make hooks be destroyed after a sacrifice, I’m not sure what it is though. 🤷♂️
Thats been in the game since the start when maps where way smaller back then I promise you the devs haven't played on Ormond vs a team with 4 petrified oaks cause if they had they would see what can happen
-
@Pizzasauce said:
Why is nobody talking about the Gunslinger's ability to take down the snowmen? Granted, i haven't clicked on *every* winter thread but I haven't seen Slinger's name mentioned once. Maybe it's just my excitement over playing him for the first time but you shoot your gun and break the snowman, hooking the survivor, and then reel them in! I don't know, works for me!
Because I'm the only slinger player on the forums and ive mentioned it a few times
Lol
Although seriously it's because many others can also avoid it,

@Shirtless_Myers said:
Queue times for survivors are instant or within a minute. The wait times will spike during the night hours.
Honestly, it seems like some people enjoy making threads to cry about killers in some capacity, regardless of the accuracy of their claims.
They might be instant for you but they sure as hell aren't for me and many others

@Pizzasauce said:
I kind of miss playing Legion. But I want to play Slinger. But is he any FUN? Cause I wanna have FUN. And all I got left are Legion, Slinger and Plague, and I'm playing Plague on my friend's account and I'm not having FUN with her.
Slinger got nerfed into dirt and is no longer fun to play, he feels like he's moving in glue nowadays
I would say play legion
And this is coming from a slinger main

@themoobs1984 said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/300095/survivor-wait-times
Lack of killer players. Killer players are becoming harder to come by due to perceived anti killer bias from the devs and multiple second and third chance perks survivors use.
I understand that I just told you I primarily play slinger I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same

@Yords said:

@TheGentlemen said:
Generally curious to how people play Hillbilly. I can play Clown better than I can play Billy, which is so sad, because Billy is a dream killer of mine to learn. He looks incredibly fun.
I have no idea how some of the people play Billy at all.
Ayy real talk tho I came back to offer solid advice since ik I sounded like a ass so you should watch a guy names
Sofareks
Just like that he plays Billy perfectly and has the most detailed Billy guide I've ever seen on the net

It doesn't really matter how you determine a killer to be "skilled". This whole idea that a killer has to play a certain way to be "skilled" is just a toxic mindset. And I don't see how losing to killers you find to be "lacking skill" makes you feel any better anyways.
Don't bother arguing with this guy after how he replied to my comment about otz I can already tell this guy can't be reasoned with or see any view point other then his own

That can't be completely true. When I'm playing killer I also get matches that last 5 minutes with 1-3 hooks, but my MMR for killers can't be that high because I'm not that good. So that's not happening only in high MMR. Genrush or tunneling happens no matter how is your MMR. And tunneling can be a strategy, yes, but when there are situations like: 5 gens and 1 DC at first down and the killer will tunnel I'm sorry to say, but that's not a strategy, that only means the killer is that bad that he thinks he can't win against 3 persons with 5 gens without tunneling...
Edit: I don't care about streamers, especially that ozt
Yeah I'm not trying to be a dick but anyone that doesn't like otz I'm immediately put off by because he's probably the most reasonable streamer that argues for buffs and nerfs for both sides
Maybe you need to sit back and think about what a fair game is for a little bit maybe even awhile perhaps idk man
I'm not saying you have to like the guy but honestly he's a pretty agreeable guy so idk how anyone hates on him

Idk, I main billy and I agree, with the person you were replying to. Since the engravings buff, I haven't overheated once besides intentionally overheating before picking up a survivor.
I never said he was wrong about the overheat mechanic
He said hillbilly was still good
Which isn't even objectively true
Because he isn't, he isn't good at all
There's about 4-5 killers that do everything he does but better
-
@Sakurra said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2696113#Comment_2696113
They are not tunneling only in high MMR. Let's be honest, shall we?
I never said anything about tunneling :/
I said most games at high mmr the gens are done in 5 mins and that's a fact there is no argument to be had here
-
@Sakurra said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2695530#Comment_2695530
Stop assuming that all matches are like this. That's not an excuse to tunnel every single match
At high mmr most games end with all the gens done in under 5 mins, go watch not otz matches or dowseys matches or even jrms matches who someone never touches a gen ever but still they all get done very shocking isn't it

I nominate myself for the sole slinger player left on these forums lol

No, they can't "run" constantly the whole map. Think.
I thought about it,
And then I loaded up the game as blight and nurse and proceeded to go from gen to gen to gen
Then I didn't have to think about it anymore

@Aven_Fallen said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2695809#Comment_2695809
I play him quite often. Not as much as before they messed up his animations. But maybe YOU should play some Hillbilly and see that the Overheat is not that big of a deal.
If you play him quite often youd realize he's not a good killer at all these days anybody that plays hillbilly for 100 hours realizes that he's defs low a or b tier
-
@Sakurra said:
They added overheat because hillbilly players could constantly use their chainsaw to go in point B from point A. They could cross the map very easily. That's why.
And nurse can't? Or demo with his teleport or spirit or blight or a variety of killers?
-
@Aven_Fallen said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2695776#Comment_2695776
Hillbilly is still good. The main thing which sucks about him is the FoV and the Animations. Because he feels very janky because of it. Also his Add Ons are more on the bad side, which is not even the worst, since he does not really need Add Ons to begin with. But doing Bloodwebs on him feels like a waste (almost as much as doing Survivor Bloodwebs, lel).
Overheat is barely noticeable. You have to fail A LOT to actually Overheat and at this point, it is deserved.
Person that doesn't play hillbilly confirmed 👍
-
Because in the words of one dev on the stream when asked what if I did 500 gens unhooked 50 survivors and healed for 900 health states then die does that mean I'm less skilled then the Claudette hiding in a bush that did escape?
"Yea it's great you did all that but wouldn't it be great if you did all that and escaped"
Oh and they also said this when it was revealed that it is based on kills and escapes cause people were complaining in chat
"It's not a great system but making a system that would actually work would take too long" or something similar along those lines
I will never forgive these two statements

Because camping and tunneling is a sure-fire way to screw yourself over. Also it just shows that you’re bad at playing killer so you feel like you gotta target one survivor.
Not trying to be harsh but camping and tunnelling are trash all around. And it’s not against the rules but the only time I can excuse it is during EGC to secure one kill.
No offense people are free to have opinions but camping and tunneling does not automatically make you a bad killer, quite the opposite actually because it lets you achieve your objective faster
Nobody complains if survivors stay on gens all day and try and win as hard as they can
But oh man the second a killer tries to win in a convincing fashion you're bad killer
The hypocrisy is real

@Psychobeastz said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/299724/question-about-slinger
I achieved mine a few days ago, albeit one of the survivors disconnected when I landed a pretty slick shot, this lead me into two survivors who I have hooked twice giving up. Yeah in other words all you can really hope is get a huge snowball or learn how to flick. The add ons I used are both that reduce the stun time when survivors break free.
When I do adepts I typically try and do them with no add ons because I don't know you could use add ons at first lol so I've just always stuck to doing it that way perhaps you are right and I should use some of his better ones

Is it really now? Hmm never seen it in Georgia maybe it's more of a northern thing Ig I outplayed
Ayy real talk tho I actually like surge on deathslinger cause he's the one killer who's power still procs it
-
@DorkianBae said:
He's terrible and not worth playing, just play Huntress or Trickster.
God's speed though if you keep playing him, I love the way he looks and it's a shame what they did to my boy.
I will keep playing him because I find him fun and like his aesthetic
Just hope he recovers buffs "soon tm"
Ik he probably won't but one can be optimistic and hopeful

I'm disappointed you didn't mention Demogorgon. He has the quickest fake in the game. Idk why he can't, I'm not a dev (yet)
Oh my bad sometimes I forget about demo because you rarely face them but I do really love playing him and his fake is really good for long hallways on maps like rpd if the survivors are good and start zigzagging
But yet deathslinger gets nerfed sigh
Now that you mention demo I kinda wonder if they can even give him any more balance changes now that he is out of the game? A few more add on buffs would be nice imo we of them aren't very good
Although ig the same could be said about Freddy none of his add-ons are good, same with ghost face 😂
-
@ThatOneDemoPlayer said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2692935#Comment_2692935
Survivors complained about a Killer that had no 1v4 potential and only good in the 1v1, which they didn't like, so the devs nerfed his 1v1 AND his 1v4, great balance. The reason he can't put down his gun quickly is because it would allow him to fake his shots, which he was able to do and they didn't like that
Ik that and I understand why they nerfed it I just don't agree with it at all, huntress can still fake shots so can trickster and pyramid head same with nem and his tentacle
So why tf can't the guy with a actual gun fake anything does not make sense at all imo
-
@ThatOneDemoPlayer said:
Yeah the nerf ruined him and made him way more clunky to play
Like I said I don't even mind the slow aim it makes sense relative to irl you would take awhile to aim I just don't understand why dropping the gun is so slow I mean irl you can stop aiming instantly or in 1-2 seconds not the slow motion movement that he does nowadays
-
@Labrac said:
I think the majority of the community agrees the nerf was too harsh. Wouldn't put my money on them giving anything back though. Just look the failure that was the Billy rework and how the best compensation they could give after more than a year later was giving him some mediocre addons that no one is going to use.
Thats what I fear that he will remain in the dumpster for years which saddens me greatly I feel so bad for Billy players and now my main has been hit by the nerfs sledgehammer :(
-
@WeenieDog said:
The radius nerf is the part I don't like. I'd rather they gave him a large lullaby.
I've been playing him a lot more and I can get used to his slower wind up ( though compared to what he was before , it feels so slow). Survivors can now react to you raising your gun, but they still don't know when you're actually going to pull the trigger. Long range shots are seemingly never worth it, and at close/medium range 40 m/s might as well be hit scan. What I do wish they would do, is allow me to customize the ads sensitivity. Take the quick scope and give me the flick shots.
Other then that, he's more or less the same imo. However, I must admit that the impulse to quick shot is hard a one to overcome.
You can still shoot before he draws it up all the way is what most people don't realize, you just don't know where your aiming unless your a really experienced death slinger so that part honestly doesn't bother me
Idc about the slow up draw it's the slow putting it away that feels like your moving in glue and the tr radius nerf that bugs me
Keep the slow aim that's fine but why does dropping the gun feel like your moving in slow motion and how is he any different from any other ranged killer now? The tr is what made him different imo
-
I still play slinger after the nerfs I would never drop my main just because they aren't meta that's ridiculous and their is others out there like me
Like I said the event doesn't bother me but my twin exclusively plays trapper and he's already run into squads that use it just like old mettle of man using it exclusively to block doors at shack and block hooks almost entirely just to immediately make it to the next loop they don't even want the cosmetics they just want to be annoying I've seen it with my own eyes
So I'm not gonna pretend like it doesn't exist, there is no way to mind game that it's either hit the snowman or don't get through the door
-
@Veinslay said:
Yeah man you got to understand everything in this game is designed to ######### the killer as hard as possible. there's the snowmen, the maps, the adepts lol. survivor adept is easy. if the game goes long enough, you can even get it if the killer dcs lmao
I mean I've always known at the high end how unbalanced the game is and that it is survivor sided at the highest skill level and that's never really bothered me because honestly most people I face aren't that good plain and simple
So when I use decent add ons and decent perks before this challenge would be easy
But man after the nerfs it's like a night and day difference how much harder it is

@MrSlippery said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2692696#Comment_2692696
It's called adapting to new mechanics. If your killer isn't benefitting from the event, play a different killer, or wait until the event is over. Its only a temporary thing. And Legion mains should be used to getting screwed anyways, being the weakest killer in the game, that is. Feral Frenzy all 4 survivors, and then be a M1 killer the rest of the match.
I love the whole play a different killer argument it really feels great to tell someone to play something different from a character they love and spent money on must be nice
I personally play slinger so I'm not to bothered by the event cause he ignores snowman but I'm not gonna act like it can't be struggle vs characters such as trapper
-
@Veinslay said:
You should wait until right after grade reset to try to get the adept. You don't need 4 iris to get merciless killer at the low grades. But yeah, Slinger is god awful now. The devs absolutely gutted him. People paid good money for this killer and they made him useless and frustrating. They're not getting another buck out of me
It just feels so bad because Im at what I assume to be high mmr cause most games end faster then 5 mins without corrupt everybody splits up on gens and is really good at looping
And I'm playing with 3 garbage perks and no add ons and it feels so bad man

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/299724/question-about-slinger
I believe the general consensus is in agreement with you.
I'm glad to hear that I just hope they listen to the community and at least give him his 24m tr radius back that was the only thing that set him apart from the other ranged killers
And it saddens me because billy and Freddy players have been crying for years and they have fallen on deaf ears so I fear we shall as well
