I should throw it out there, the chances of DBD getting actually taken off Steam are low. I think we'd have heard something by now and they might have weaseled around just enough to get past the regulation. The worlds not gonna end.

[@Childishxmarkeeloo]

The ghost face mask is owned by another company that the scream movies use. So behavior went the smart route asked to use the mask in the game and created their own killer. Meaning they didn’t have to do two licensing agreements only one and it was just for the mask alone. So if the company wants the mask To be removed, all behavior has to do is just remove the mask and not the entire killer himself since the killer is their creation Edit: so basically behavior can do WHATEVER they want with this killer and it will never break the licensing because it’s their character

[@vitamind2943]

Then if they want the mask back just make a new one. Easy, make it look cooler

[@ttv9652]

[@DBZHGWgamer]

That would be great if they actually did anything with ghost face so he wasn't a pain in the ass to play. The irony of the ghost face is that he's great against solo queue but basically the worst killer in the game against a swf. Plus he gets less fun the more you learn him since that means you'll get higher mmr and go against more swfs.

[@EvanSnowWolf]

How to fix Ghostface: make his Reveal mechanic require your CHARACTER to face him, not your CAMERA. No more of this revealing while in chase by looking behind you garbage.

[@EvanSnowWolf]

@@vedo1t You should not be able to reveal Ghostface while in full chase unless you are willing to turn around. Just turning the camera is cheap, costs you no distance, and fucks up Ghostface for the entire duration of the Night Shroud cooldown - which you can just break again the same way. This is unacceptable for a Killer that has no chase power. He is just man with knife.

I was looking for your Ghostface guide a week or so ago, glad it's finally here! My boi needs a buff/rework so bad 😭 but he's still a lot of fun imo. Also there's a huge difference between Scream and Scary Movie. The first Scream is a must see for any horror fan so if you've never seen it/haven't seen it in so long you can't remember it, it's definitely worth the watch

[@papelhat4265]

IMO his add ones are the things that need reworks, even the iridescents can't compete with Chewed Pen + Address book. There's so much trash like "movement speed slightly increased while crouching"

[@Jivetalkin13]

Honestly my strategy when playing him is to never stalk and just go for grabs. Works well on indoor maps.

[@JondarKorric]

[@flamingcat1101]

While Rowby dislikes how easy it is to spot Ghostface. I use it as an opportunity to show how easy it is to spot survivors. I've been able to catch people hiding behind rocks because of the ability and using Whispers makes it even better as an anti hide and seek tool

This may be a dirty tactic, but I got 5 4 kill games in a row using this tactic, okay just down a player with ghost face, wait for another to come help the downed player, using his stalk ability sneak up on them, down them and rinse and repeat until all are down, he’s the best killer for this tactic honestly

Man I think playing as Ghostface is fun. Apart from Pig he really is the only stealth killer who can sneak and get the jump on survivors. It must also be a rush for survivors to come bump into Ghostface in the tallgrass as I did the few games before this video.

[@sixxth6]

Ghost Face is definitely a C tier killer. I love him, but god damn, he needs fixes to how easily (or hard, completely random it seems which) it is to reveal him, or how hard it can sometimes be for him to stalk someone he's looking right at. And that's not even talking about the fact that, even after the small changes from last patch, he still basically has no reason to run any addons other than recovery.

[@zmanrockz6358]

As usual I love this video, but hearing you shit on his perks just hurt me. I’m All Ears and Thrilling Tremors are actually both great even on Ghostie. Both are actually park of my normal build for him, and Thrilling is especially good at telling you where to use Pop Goes the Weasel. Also for addons, the camera can actually replace any tracker perk, freeing up a slot for chase or slowdown or whatever else, as long as you know how to use it. The best way to use it is actually a method you mentioned earlier, 99ing them then catching up to them and tapping the button. Downing a survivor like this causes every other survivor to be revealed no matter how close they are, which is technically stronger than BBQ. Also, cooldown addons!?!?!?!?

[@thevocatiousunspeakables709]

Btw, security camera doesnt require you to be in stealth when you down the exposed survivor. The only benefit that provides is that your terror radius will be zero when you down them, so it shows the auras of every survivor on the map not in a locker (except if they use one of the 3 bad perks that block aura reading). This can allow you to plan your approach better so you aren't revealed before you even get close to anybody.

[@SeaKaned]

My rowdy boy, I think you missed the part where if you 99 someone and then go hunt their ass they won't stand still waiting for you. So most likely you'll be finishing that 1% in chase which for some reason slows you down to a crawl. So an add on would make this a bit less painful

the outdoor security camera. Its actually really good with barbaque or just by itself.

3:10 that's the name for the killer from Screen which the mask was licensed from Fun World which Behaviour Interactive licensed the mask so they could create a killer with the spirit from the ones in Halloween but that fits in to the DBD atmosphere.

[@VexingWeeb]

honestly if they made the sound/music that rises when you spot him not exist, he'd be way scarier and I feel is a better way to buff him. You can pull him out of his stalk if you know he's there,because you'll have to stay looking at him ,and if you don't know he's there/he's hidden, that rise of the music doesn't alarm/warn you that you actually do see him /he's on ur screen,even though you don't know he's there. happens a lot, being able to just 360 spin the camera until the rise of music plays

Ghost face can be pretty good during chases because just fill up the stalk meter during a chase and if he/she tries to reveal you crouch behind something and keep on filling up the meter and once it’s full just stab them this is good for looping because while looping you can do this can crouch behind something. However he is bad with crowds because he has to worry about more then one person revealing him and sometimes the survivors can be in all angles. I would say if you run into a crowd don’t go into stalk mode just stab them and run them off and attack one by one.

[@BotBehavior]

I’ve been dealing with a lot of GHOSTface, Myers, and pig this Halloweeny

I've recently bought ghostface and quickly learned that it wasn't a particularly strong killer, especially against SWF's who will always break you out of your power and know your location. So far the most success I've had is with EndFury (Enduring, Spirit Fury) and then brutal strength and surge. The other is with Pain Resonance, Deadman's Switch, Corrupt Intervention, and Surge. Both playstyles imo are a bit boring I would much prefer make use of his power rather than solely relying on perks.

I think its THE ghost face instead of just ghost face or the ghost because its "the best" ghost face or the "most feared" because 1. ghost face is just a costume and the person under it could be anyone And 2. He was never caught... by the cops anyways. In each scream (that ive seen at least) the person behind the mask either dies or is caught but it seems this one was never caught by the police or killed. He was gonna get caught, killed, or get away when the entity took him. This makes him seem like the best cause either way he was never caught. either because of the entity or because he was that good.
