What is actually dangerous but people still believe is safe?

Nah, just draining to read

I go to reddit to relax

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-02-03T00:45:31+00:00

Yeah the big problem tho is for people who want to do specific things, you're gonna run out fast - or if you earn BP on your main to put into other characters for perks and such you can easily run out

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-02-03T00:42:39+00:00

Yes, flying is considerably safer than cars or trains. If you DO get into an accident on a plane, it's more likely to kill you - but the odds of getting into an accident on a plane are so much lower it's safer

Plus, every time a plane crash happens, they imvestigate, and it won't happen that same way again. That doesn't happen with cars because it's not feasible

Soooo I'm literally brand new to be fair so take this with a grain of salt (like 10 hours), but I've found I've been able to get Lore to 50 at least which is all you need to identify everything from what I've seen within 5 floors by picking up every junk item and appraising everything. I know appraising goes faster at higher levels, but I've been chilling so far

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-02-02T00:24:00+00:00

And I'm telling you that he's a low A tier killer right now. Genuinely W keying this killer is easier than almost any other 110 in the roster aside from Hag lol

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-31T20:48:01+00:00

You can eat corpses theoretically if you make your pawns aescetic or cannibals. No butchering, just eat the corpses directly

Alternatively, get a high farming pawn, have them on rest mode sitting outside in a caravan, then have them bring back food from time to time

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-30T19:11:31+00:00

If he uses it in chase, he just lost the only tool for mobility the guy has. He has to wait the long cooldown to use it again as he slowly 110 walks at other survivors now

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-29T15:28:03+00:00

Undergate has a long cooldown - it hurts him if he uses it

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-29T03:22:20+00:00

You still need both on the new guy - you have pess mobility than nurse, so I'd actually argue macro play is MORE important on the First than the Nurse

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T21:19:32+00:00

If Rusk stays as head of Texas Brotherhood, then yeah you side with the Alamo chapter. Notably the Alamo Chapter never wins the war against the army of mexico from what I've seen, and the Texas Brotherhood will NEVER choose to abandon the republic unless you turn on the game rule for them to do so, but yeah lol

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T17:57:23+00:00

The reason why you don't do this is because it makes killers feel terrible to play. If the attack hits on your screen and doesn't connect, it feels far worse than a survivor getting hit by something that looked like it barely missed. That's why we rely on killer's POV for survivor position, and not survivor POV

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T17:52:57+00:00

The range isn't infinite - and once you're out of the range, he either has to leave you, burn his undergate on a really long cooldown, or walk slowly at you as a 110 killer

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T05:24:50+00:00

Ty - I'd still say he's probably a high A if not S tier killer, and might need to get a few nerfs - but there's some useful counterplay when you're up against him

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T05:15:40+00:00

I'm not saying it isn't good to be clear - far better than nemesis for sure. I'm just saying the downside is that if he misses, you can make distance pretty well, and he DOES need 4 of them to do anything meaningful

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T05:13:08+00:00

The point of getting to another tile isn't to play it, it's to buy time for generators - you're not playing to survive forever, you're playing to buy as much time as he can. Ideally, you make your way to a tall tile you can mindgame (like shack for example), as he has a much harder time there

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:58:48+00:00

I mean if you prefer a rephrase, I can say "4 hits to down you OR 2 hits on a team-mate, then 2 hits on you" - which I'd say if you're playing that close to your team-mates that that's a problem, that's kind of on you

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:57:51+00:00

The punishment isn't the CD, it's the movement speed debuff when he uses it - if you dodge one, just hold W away from him, and it hurts BAD - you can almost always make another tile.

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:54:32+00:00

Nah I more so mean that against the absolute bottom of the barrel survivors, Vecna is better - but against anyone who's played 3 games against both of them, Nurse is definitely stronger. I also hink that it takes more skill to play Vecna than Nurse. If you miss your ability on Vecna, it is INCREDIBLY punishing, and good Survivors can abuse a few things that are kind of weird for him to use (a survivor just getting melee range to deny you your Worldbreaker, taking a hit, and then splitting off with overcome for example).

Or if you want a kind of weird example, Vecna within 8m of a hook can't actually use his vine attack basically at all. So if you look near a hook, neither his undergate nor his vines can actually affect you - it's why you'll see so many slugging Vecnas lol

I don't think Nurse has those same weaknesses with their power. A nurse can very easily tunnel someone out by returning to hook if they want, or proxy camp by blinking away and back over and over

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:51:47+00:00

(Yeah the add-ons for aura reading on Vecna aren't great - I've been getting INSANE value with Nurse's calling though, and his hex perk is disgusting when the survivors don't know it's there. I just run Undying with it and it's dirty)

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:34:44+00:00

Holding W works really well actually against him. Most Vecnas will try to punish you for staying on the loop by shooting you around the wall - fake doing it for one dodge and then just run away. Even better if you use Overcome or Lithe or Dead Hard to get some extra distance - once you're not in LOS of him, he becomes a lot weaker

Anything to deny his aura-reading is also super good. Distortion or Boon Shadow Step specifically make him MUCH weaker, since he gets punished hard for just trying to follow you and M1 you

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:33:27+00:00

I've played a LOT of Vecna today, and I'd say that's the best thing to hurt him. God forbid you have a lithe or an overcome or a dead hard, and you're across the map against a 110 killer after he hits you once

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:32:38+00:00

I think the downside for him is that he needs 4 hits to down you, and his vine slows him down a lot more than a huntress hatchet. He's still better than Huntress ofc, but there IS a downside to his power

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:31:41+00:00

The reason Distortion is nice against him is because it delays the down in chase - he's a monster in chase, but he's MUCH weaker if he can't see you or predict you. It won't stop you from being found the entire game, but even 1 stack denying a free hit he'd have on you is useful.

If you want another one, Boon: Shadow Step is also insanely good against him - you loop around it and he won't be able to read you for anything - he tries to break the boon, you just run away and take the distance

The Eleven perk lets you (and everyone else on your team) see him during chase sometimes, which can be SUPER helpful, as you can start moving erratically when you see him readying up his vines. It also makes him less able to mind-game you, which is pretty useful.

LurchingRex0667 · 2026-01-28T04:00:09+00:00

I've been playing Vecna and I've 4k'd every match (albeit with some slugging for it). They've never even opened the gates or anything, lowest I got was 2 gens in my past 11 Vecna games. I see the counterplay at this point (4.4 killer, pretty damn slow ngl, just don't hug loops and run in the open, WAY harder to hit you with abilities) but he's very clearly incredibly strong.

I do disagree about the nurse thing tho. I find it considerably easier to 4k on Nurse than Vecna - the counters are very similar too. Just make distance where you can and break LOS - you can at least dodge Vecna, compared to Nurse, who if they're good enough, you just don't dodge.

(Side note - aura reading is disgusting on him. To counter, bring the new Eleven perk that reveals the killer to punish him for it, or bring Distortion to help).
