Big Swings or Scout after changes?

[@JaySpamsAyy]

Hands down big swings imo. And we are here early ladssss. Perfect Sunday!

[@ResistOrServe98]

Scout. I played LF with that perk for so long that when I actually took it off after the rework, I couldn't believe the difference it makes. I don't know he just feels so slow without it.

[@Hoppton23]

Big Swings HANDS DOWN

[@RickyhoImes]

@@ResistOrServe98 he’s faster than every character even without it

[@antonrs6065]

Have you ever thought of running universal donor instead of serrated? To more reliably get vialent online? You use it to get full blood if people manage to escape basement before you get a kill. I did the math on serrated and it doesn't make any new breakpoints, unless you count 30% damage down to 25% there is a new breakpoint, but you either have 15% damage or 35% damage so it's use is not as great as many people think.

[@hiimmicheal5604]

10:45 I used to think the overhead swing was very inconsistent as well. Until I realized you can get it to track the victim every time by just letting go of the thumb stick just before you swing. Pro tip for any aspiring Leatherface mains

[@reynaldoponce3645]

So does this equate to not using wasd

[@hiimmicheal5604]

@@reynaldoponce3645 I would assume so. but I am not a PC player so I would recommend hopping in a game and doing some testing

3:26 Something I learned when I made this build was that you can grind serrated xp by just attacking walls and it activates

[@Saucy-3-]

I’ve notice a fair few people just disconnect from lobbies recently. Sometimes it’s because they rage quit but majority of the time (including me) people just disconnect because no dedicated servers. I’m Australian, so I disconnect a lot no matter what my ping is. Can have below 20ms and still disconnect. Been a problem since release.

[@OkMiddi]

Yeah i can imagine Aussies get the bad end especially with the dc's or just instant dc when you get into a game :'(

[@wdktherealartic4074]

Also when people want to leave a lobby a lot of people now just go in the match then leave instead of waiting for the penalty And the game needs to not put u in a random match/lobby when ur match is over even when u don’t press anything Like my match is over I walk away for 2 minutes and I’m in a entirely different match that I wasn’t even trynna play Has happened to me a few times and it’s the only time I leave a match and I don’t get a penalty

[@justinriley4209]

Leatherface is always super fun to use. The route I go is Scout, Rough Cut, and down the rabbit hole. I sacrifice damage to have a chase game in basement for mid to late game. Its super fun

[@Palumdaddy]

[@JohnKratoson]

He has not been nerfed. I get 4ks almost every game with him

[@user-sl5bn7ks4z]

Serrated activates whenever you hit an object. It doesn't activate on overhead swings.

[@ErrorCodeRaccoonLikesBacon]

Hey middi it's been a while, I'm not sure if you remember me, I was wondering if this game is still worth the buy? I was thinking of finally getting this game since I got a PS5, is it worth the 40 bucks

[@ziggyu3667]

bro a lot of times it’s this… mfs never got good with leather face. EVRYBODY wanted to be Johnny, or Sissy, or Hitchhiker. & everyone STILL doesn’t want to be leather face because they want the more traditional killer role. In a balanced lobby, a good leather face is TERRIFYING. In a sweaty lobby, a good Leatherface is TERRIFYING. If you want to get good with leatherface just buy the Nicotero skin for maximum fear. it’s that simple. loljk but seriously leatherface GOATED

[@JrRuiz.]

I’m new at playing him and I’ve gotten semi decent but when I hit someone with a big swing and knock them down I try to hit again and stall. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is there a better ability then the one I’m using?

[@stefanmadrax]

What's the difference between rough cut and serrated guys. They seem to me as the same perk?

[@Muhh_Dude]

How do you use killer instinct?? Just started playing

[@jldcollector]

funny enough I used this build last night works great. I do find that in Aussie servers I face a lot of no sell players. I would recommend the middle path with scout, blood banker, and rough cuts. max the sav, then all blood. usual over head then follow up is still great for getting kills and then you can give baldy almost 150 blood. And to top it all off, exterior alarms ready to go every game.

[@ryuno2097]

I love playing LF but don't play LF anymore because playing at 200/300 ms and trying to keep the revving consistant is pretty hard. So i use the other family members instead. At least i could attack and use their skills properly.

6:58 Lmao, yeah, the captions were wrong the first time

[@TyeDye4547]

how does serrated interact with the thrust through gaps? multiple blood collected notifications pop up so do they all count as 1 hit or does every notification count as an individual prock of serrated

[@TheSweatiestHands]

you do an insane amount of damage doing the thrust, and with serrated each blood noti you get just resets the timer for it, doesnt stack the timer. damage tho i think stacks. im not sure id have to test it

[@sixfo684]

@@TheSweatiestHandsdamage doesn't stack serrated timer does reset every hit which is technically considered stacking. Even without serrated, if u get a full thrust on a victim u can insta kill them even if the havent been incap before

Rough Cuts is still there. It's down the middle branch.

[@sixfo684]

Serrated only works on normal swings

[@austin9187]

@@sixfo684 gotcha thank u :) so would that technically mean rough cuts is better cause it triggers for both attacks ?

[@SwashBuccaneer]

Why would you want to put points into Blood Harvesting when you have Vial-ent? Wouldn't a lower blood vial be better to fill it up faster? I've been leaving his blood harvesting at base or at least getting it to 25 just to get 100 to level up gramps.

[@spectre9949]

Leatherface doesn’t actually use stamina for his attacks, it’s tied to his maim ability so endurance isn’t that important on the big guy. Also, if you have higher blood harvesting a kill will grant you a full vial, activating vialent in the process, bubba’s base blood harvesting won’t grant you a full vial on a kill, similar to Johnny. It’s basically to get vialent online earlier. Sorry for the long winded response, just wanted to be sure I explained this properly, hope this helps!

[@SwashBuccaneer]

@@spectre9949 Cool, thanks, I just always thought that you got a full vial for killing someone no matter what, but guess that wasn't the case.

[@Rj-pw7zs]

You get a bit better blood in terms of percentages and if you end up feeding Grandpa it's nice to have as much blood as possible.

[@sixfo684]

Just incase u do need to feed it'll be good to have a lot & with Vial-Ent u can still do crazy damage

[@yaboiilsk6977]

I love playing leatherface but I stall everytime are you supposed to keep holding LT while swinging it to stop from stalling?

[@iTheFrenchReaper]

3 things to never stall: The middle level 2 ability is what will help you the most from stalling. (I go right-middle-middle) Gameplay wise the chainsaw 100% stall if you hit overhead and are at 75% of the fill up bar (Exactly when leatherface puts his chainsaw above his head and starts rushing) Always Rev an extra sec or 2 before the hit. (That's because an overhead consumes exactly 75% if you're at 0=stalling) Lastly, a regular hit consumes maybe 15% so yes hold LT immediately and watch the bar after an overhead to know if you have enough to hit.

[@sixfo684]

Yes. Rev up to at least 80% then after an overhead keep reving for 2-3 sec before swinging again to avoid stalling

Bubba isn’t really that hard, once you learn how to chainsaw sprint & hit your overhead attacks consistently. I would make a argument that he is easily one of the more funner but rewarding family members in the game when you master him👍🏾

[@baker9609]

I think scout is for people that aren't great at leatherface, good rotations make big swings better. Also if you let go of the movement joystick when you overhead I've noticed it locks on pretty decently.

[@iTheFrenchReaper]

I personally recommend big swings route to new leatherface players because they can easily reach the skill level to benefit from all perks and it's like playing him in slow motion. Scout is when you've mastered leatherface and ready to leave the capped sandbox in terms of chases, some victims will showcase very skilled gameplay that's levels above to keep up with. Faster reflexes, faster thinking, no easy one shot u actually need to master the chainsaw and timing to get 2 hits after an overhead often and have to be way more accurate to not miss. All of that obviously is true if a player really uses all scout potential through skill and experience not just equip it within the first few months playing the game

[@sixfo684]

@@iTheFrenchReaperbig swings is good for new players bcuz u cant overhead until lvl2 ability bcuz u will always stall. So high damage on normal swings is gonna be more effective
