⛓️ The State of Deathslinger (Bugs, broken maps, and more.)

[@papadragon7859]

Hi, survivor here, I'm playing the smallest violin for you right now. I hope they fix your issues so only you can have fun in the game.

[@latenightnomad]

I know I shouldn't be entertaining a toxic and ignorant comment like this, but I'm going to do it anyway. Not once throughout this entire video did I say that I want to be the "only person having fun." If that's all you took away from this video, I honestly don't know what to tell you. I want the game to be balanced overall. Deathslinger is not the only character in DBD with issues, I just spoke on them because he's my killer main and I wanted to speak up for my community. It was also my first time making a video like this. Sorry I didn't talk about survivor issues first? It takes a special kind of entitlement to look at a video like this, where someone is pointing out unacceptable flaws with paid cosmetic releases, and then turn it around into a backhanded sarcastic comment because... what, exactly? You don't like Deathslinger? I don't play the same "side" as you? If it helps you sleep at night, I play both survivor and killer equally. Your comment is genuinely embarrassing. A guy makes a video talking about how paid cosmetics are unusable and were probably untested, you turn it around into a personal jab at me. Weird, nonconstructive, ignorant. Do better.

Needed to be said. Pretty sad that the attention has moved away. That they can’t even release a stupid cosmetic correctly..

[@REDRAVH]

They’ve been messing up cosmetics for years. I remember when clowns blight skin was released back in the day his knife was invisible and he was just giving a thumbs up.

[@DragonOnCoke7299]

They already fixed it

[@c_c9592]

I'm really frustrated by accidentally closed holes or textures. Just like of the window on MacMillan; we waited six months for them to fix the invisible texture. And invisible textures keep popping up. It's not consistent, and I can't even figure out if these are bugs or if the developers are deliberately adding invisible textures. I hope Caleb gets more love, and all of his issues will be fixed, especially skin and iron sights related

[@latenightnomad]

Well said brother.

[@Standgedicht]

On the other side: With Trickster (my main) you can shot trough the weirdest holes, sometimes trough walls. It`s so ridicolous when you find out. As for the Slinger: I don't think he's really the focus of the developers. The Trickster, for example, is more strongly supported, even though he's not a high tier list killer. But DbD has a lot of fans in Asia, mainly in Korea, and he's a very popular character there. It's unfair, but unfortunately that's the way it is.

[@For_the-Emperor]

The fact that companies can release broken skins and charge $20 bucks should be illegal. You’re paying for a product that doesn’t work and who knows if they will ever fix it. I’ve been saying for years the gaming industry needs to start being held accountable because they are so predatory to the consumer base.

[@zath6425]

Hi there. P100 Legacy Trapper who's mained him since launch. I feel your pain. Every single patch they manage to bug something with his traps while simultaneously continuing to add maps that make traps almost impossible to hide. That plus the constant weird changes to how far survivors go when they vault, and where they land from drop downs has really frustrated me. On top of that, factor in the increasing number of aura perks survivors are getting and how countered he gets by coms, a problem not even Hag really has to deal with because her traps cover such a wide area and they're much harder to disarm. All of that has just left me numb and unwilling to play him. I also really dislike their reasoning for giving a 110 killer a 32 meter terror radius when in the amount of time it takes Slinger to aim, shoot, hit, reel, swing, wipe, and reload, Huntress and Trickster have already downed three survivors without even having to look at a locker. I'm not even going to mention the fact that every single time Trapper manages to get a spot where his trap bugs into the ground that usually gets fixed almost immediately when the bug where his reticle was incorrectly aligned persisted for MONTHS.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

As a Trickster main who stuck with the killer ever since picking up the game. I feel a solidarity with Slinger mains and feel validated by this video. My aim with Trickster is on point. But with Slinger its bad. Like not as good with him. Im glad to know Im not the problem. But frustrated af his weapons are unusable Slinger being shadownerfed over patches either with STBFL nerf, terror radius, addons, anything is insane. I want DBDs killer cowboy to yeehaw and kill. Not limp harder than Hag They need to look at Slinger and give Skull Merchant a break. Not like theyre doing anything good with her anyway

[@WilliamAfton1946]

I mean they've deleted multiple spots on maps you can place traps

[@latenightnomad]

I hear your frustrations. Trapper is definitely in need of some love and I'm genuinely shocked he's been left as-is for so long. Even just some small buffs would go a long way.

Slinger is my main too. He is one of the very few killers that still make me enjoy dbd. Luckily enough I did not go crazy, some invisible walls were indeed added and the hitbox on certain guns is just so weird. I hope they fix it, but I start losing hope in bhvr ngl. I miss you Slinger, but for now I switch over to Clown and Wesker or other games. Thx for the video!

[@cherrygator]

I'm so glad theres a video about this! Especially the blighted skin, I bought it day of release and went into a game and was just appalled that it actually made it into the game like that...the gun is literally unusable (I'm sure I could still hit some shots but theres no reason to put yourself though that when there are perfectly usable guns available) and the hair clipping is insane. I hope it gets fixed soon I really wanted to use it ;(

[@latenightnomad]

tbh I may have overexaggerated about the Iron Maiden weapon but I genuinely think the Blighted weapon is unusable lol I mean, it covers like 60% of your screen. It just ain't worth it :(

[@vengeance6801]

These environmental collision changes also hurt my trickster :(

[@latenightnomad]

I see a lot of people saying this and it's unfortunate because it just encourages us to play in unfun ways :(

[@Orthane]

Hey give them a break, they need to focus on re-working Skull Merchant for the 3rd time (And yes it is her 3rd, she was re-worked after the PTB for Tools of Torment) when she has only been in the game for a little over a year. Also they need to make more Meg and Feng cosmetics, give Blight more attention, and maybe make some changes to maps like added another window in a Springfield house for no reason.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

What Feng and Meg cosmetics? Didnt you hear? Its all about Mikaela and Sable cosmetics now? They got a goth mommy to milk Yeeesh

[@DestroyerBG1]

Dont forget buffing huntress for no reason because her having 10 hatchets instead of 7 is gonna so much more fun. Definitely might consider dcing instead of hook suiciding.

[@ComradeCheeze]

Thanks for the input friend.

[@Robot256k]

I used to main Slinger for a long time and was pretty good with him, I started to shy away from him due to frustration from the hit box. It just became so inconsistent particularly when the target was closer to me. The amount of times I would see the harpoon go straight through the target was infuriating to the point I just started playing him less and less. The consistency with lead off distances started to become a guessing game imo, which makes it very hard to maintain muscle memory when you don't actually have something that is repeatable from game to game. As far as cosmetics go I actually don't mind the Iron Maiden skin that much, but you basically have to re-learn how to use that weapon as its so different from others. That skin with multiple spikes is so annoying though and I just completely avoid anything with more clutter than simple weapon designs.

[@latenightnomad]

I feel your frustrations 100%. I have so many clips of my spear going directly through a survivor (either during a vault or when a survivor is just standing out in the open) and it's so disheartening. TBH I may have overexaggerated on the Iron Maiden skin. 😅It's definitely bad but maybe "unusuable" wasn't the right word to use. I would still love to see it changed though.

[@Alex-zp1ry]

If it makes you feel any better, I think all the new skins are pretty bugged. The soma skin in the battle pass in particular has some straight up cursed facial animations on the hook as an example. Hopefully they fix them soon.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's worth mentioning that a lot of high-level Deathslinger mains have reported issues regarding hitboxes with some claiming they've been altered entirely. I decided to leave this out of the video as it was discovered while I was recording and I haven't experienced it myself yet (I haven't played much since the patch went live due to work and a lack of motivation from the issues mentioned in this video.) If this turns out to be true, it's yet another problem we have to deal with as Deathslinger players and I'll make another video covering it. Take care of yourselves. -Nomad

[@ogcoolg]

the lis music was calming af thank u

[@bierchen8863]

The problem with Collisons Zone are the tiles itself. To time where dbd was live moddable someone put old assets to the map and wesker for example could never use his dash on anything. And BHVR forget many things to adjusting properly. And the iron sight is always slighty off center. huntress has the same issue. Is the same with Ghostface. He is also bugged is using the unknown reveal mechanic instead the stealth one. (which cause that bots for example can reveal you even inside a building with no line of sight) And the bots why they are moving so wild in the spear is the AI code and unreal engine itself. When they never coding this properly the engine ignore every restriction which a normal human survivor has/had. But i know what you mean. I also mained him for a long time before his quickscope nerf. I doesnt care about 110% 32m etc. I want to shoot now and not to wait for 1 second to getting in the iron sight.

[@WilliamAfton1946]

The hitbox like trapper, whenever they find something cheeky to use powers i it gets removed

[@PirateDonk_]

I still wonder if they even test Skins and the Weapons in intern because such an obvious mistake like those shouldn't even be possible unless the devs are absolutely blind.

[@PirateDonk_]

The iron sight is the absolute core gameplay of Deathslinger and the fact they do not give much look to it is just mind blowing

Yeah, I don't want to bash them too hard but there's no way someone tested this skin. I just find that impossible to believe.

[@Adept_Outlaw]

Holy shit dude, your video just showed up in my KZbin recommended and I’m glad I clicked on it. As a slinger main myself I can 1000% agree with your takes. Soo many times the devs add random invisible walls at loops and tiles that can make not being able to use your power effectively at them very frustrating. I remember a while ago the boarded up windows at shack could not be shot through for some time, but I think it’s fixed for now. I also know about the vats by the burning helicopter on RPD. It’s frustrating to have to test every loop every patch to see what has invisible walls again. Also I agree with it being very scummy that the devs don’t even bother testing the aim down sights on new slinger weapons before releasing them to the public. I also noticed the new blighted slinger weapon being a complete pay 2 lose weapon because of the atrocious aim down sights. I know it can be frustrating the bs that us slinger players have to go through, but that’s what makes us slinger mains special. Being able to deal with all the bs while still showing off to people our impressive skillful shots and mindgames is what makes playing slinger such an amazing experience. Recently I’ve just learned to accept that the devs f up a lot of the time and to just try to stay positive despite the circumstances. I even took it upon myself to continually use the blighted slinger weapon to have fun with it practicing completely “blind” shots on people XD. This video is very well made along with you showing off your crazy slinger shots in a commentary setting >:) You have definitely earned a subscriber from me and it would be cool to interact with more awesome people that also main slinger. Have a nice day dude and keep up the great work ❤👍

Great vid Nomad! Lots of valid points here

[@anti1iberal]

2:15 - about this bug This was also the case with Piercing Collar(+deep rift), when Tortured Nightmare came out, his hat also appeared when you lifted your head and walked, and it was especially noticeable when you were stunned with a pallet, and it was quite funny, but annoying. Аnd as for the skins, you could add another body from the Railroad Warden skin + Remaining Wrangle, where the hands just hang in the air not attached to the body, and it's a shame, because these are my favorite skins that I used for my "custom skin". I have nothing to say about rifle skins, it's just incompetence for 5 years of Deathslinger's existence not to calibrate them, I just don't take any rifle skins because of this, because I'm too used to "Death to Bayshore", although at one time when I mastered it I took skins, and it was a serious mistake...

[@latenightnomad]

The Railroad Warden skin also had a bug where the scarf was visible when you aimed up, similar to how the hair is visible on the Blighted skin. Unfortunately most of us just pick one rifle to main (usually Killjoy or something) and never swap off. It sucks because I would really like some more variety.

[@suffhunter23]

I have good news about the Save the best for last bug, i've made a couple of tests and it turns our deathslinger is not the only killer affected by this bug, trickster and pinhead are affected as well and most definitely others, I made a more complete report on the matter and while the devs did not confirmed it will get fixed they clearly stated "Unfortunately, I'm afraid the issue you're currently reporting with Save The Best For Last is not intended" So maybe we can actually expect a fix in the next couple of weeks, I suggested them as well to change the perk to be "whenever the obsession loses a health state".

[@bogdan2k943]

Played him so much I can't remember last time I layed my hands on him , I got hated on for playing with an m1 based build lol

[@P41ma1]

I started relatively recently on the game. Slinger for me is one of the most fun characters. He's the killer i have the most levels on. His power is so simple. However i do also realize that for a decent amount of games it kinda sucks to play as him. I know getting shots through holes, windows, cracks, and even breaks in the walls are nice but damn does it sometimes feel tedious to do so. Then, as if to add insult to injury for playing the killer, even if you land your shots over and over, you can't put survivors into the dying state. The farthest you can do is put them into mending. You still have to get the m1 in regardless if you make shots. You can try shooting again to get the m1, but chances are the chain will break before you're even close. And with how much shit is in the way on most maps, yeah, the odds aren't in your favor. Then let's say you can land your shots and you can land your hits. Great, perfect. But then you're still playing a slow killer, and still have to worry about pallets and windows. On top of that; with no map pressure, if you're not bringing majority gen defensive perks; that game will be quick with the average player probably only gonna get 2 kills

[@latenightnomad]

Deathslinger is a really hard killer to master, and (no hate to anyone) I would say nobody plays him perfectly. It may seem like it's impossible to get downs at times but that's usually because of your positioning, your chain influence, or when you shoot the survivor. I can't explain it too much better than that, but my point is that the tediousness and frustration does pay off at a certain point. He's rewarding when you put the time in, but until then he'll always feel lackluster.

[@Drunk_Viking1]

My friend was really excited for blighted slinger, I was too, but first thing i wanted to see was the weapon. Said buddy of mine shared his screen in discord and as soon as i saw him aim down the sights it was an instant "yikes" from me xD I recently bought the Eddie skin for him (from the iron maiden colab) but that was mainly for the sake of 2v8 coming out. Maybe in 2v8 he'll be more fun? or maybe there will be more issues xD But holding out hope regardless :)

Trickster and Slinger both have similar projectile size and it sucks to suddenly not being able to shoot over certain obstacles anymore.

[@ScalyFox]

Ngl, if slinger's gun keeps getting messed up like this, I might as well ask for a nerf gun skin at this point. I remember being able to shoot through shacks with boarded windows back then. I don't know what map, but for some reason my spear doesn't go through any more on certain maps, and sometimes I swear I "hit" someone max distance, but somehow the survivors insta-break the chain (Caleb doesn't get stunned, however). It's just this strange, wonky animation that occurs, and the survivors escape. Hands down; however, the iron maiden rifle should be equippable without the rest of the skin.

[@xyz12259]

This is why I find it insane when people say that BHVR have been "doing a good job recently". How is it possible that something like that blighted cosmetic gets into the game? Actually I know why it's possible, literally no one at all even booted up the game ONCE to test the $15 cosmetic they were adding. Would've taken less than 2 minutes. When Ghostface had his classic robe added, it would cover up half the screen due to the flaps hanging off his sleeve. These things only happen when absolutely no one goes into a game to test the skin at all. It's so laughable. In terms of Slinger's actual state, it's miserable. Why is he still 110 with a 32 meter terror radius? Why does the chain still break so easily to the point where landing snipes/gap shots doesn't matter because the survivor will just break free and you'll never get the down? It sucks. I stopped playing after they made the hook stages 70 seconds. Nuked his pressure to negative levels (he already had zero map pressure) and also made other weaker killers miserable to play. Then people on Reddit will tell you that it's not a problem if you're not tunneling, and that's who BHVR listens to unfortunately. Sucks.

[@latenightnomad]

The issue is that BHVR is frustratingly inconsistent. I really don't want to bash them too hard but it pisses me off when I see amazing hitboxes on a map like Midwich, then horrible ones on Swamp or Autohaven. They clearly put in a lot of effort for certain things, then seemingly phone it in on others. For what it's worth, I think Slinger is perfectly playable and the 32m TR isn't that big a deal, but I do agree somewhat. He feels miserable at times in large part due to map and add-on design.

[@dave3895]

honestly I disagree about the ads part, he was fine with it, he was the chase killer mid A or top B , no map mobility, or map pressure just chase, but after the big ads and terror radius nerfs, he is mediocre, he has a decent chase power but he gets punished severely more than any other killer and his power is worse at accomplishing what other killers already can do, a power that can catch far a away survivors, blight and nurse,singularity,huntress? anti loop? nurse,spirit,blight, trickster has the most oppresive chase power on low loops and in open areas, he is a low b tier killer now, everything he does can be done better by other killers, just revert the nerfs and he becomes an actual strong again.

[@alexbarker6968]

Funny you should say about being able to catch far away survivors, because he's not even particularly good at doing that, his maximum range being 18 meters and his movement speed being 110 means that for some weird reason the best counter to this ranged killer is to hold it forward, as long as you can get line of sight blockers he will pretty much never catch you. I was playing him on groaning storehouse the other day and the main building and that weird rectangular structure with no windows or pallets around it are genuinely infinites against him, the survivor will always round the corner before you can get them in your sights, which means you'll never even start chase

[@latenightnomad]

I try to spread my time on DBD equally between survivor and killer, and I don't think old quickscope Slinger was healthy for the game. I think he's fine right now, all he really needs is an add-on pass (and for the obvious bugs to be addressed.) Ultimately I think we just have to agree to disagree on that front, but thank you for the comment and engaging in some civil conversation. You don't see that much in the DBD community nowadays.

I feel like I could get past the boxes/"scope" if the spike was accurate. The bottom half of the sight ruins it. I think the gun is an active detriment to your aim and impacts your shots in a negative way, personally.

[@impermanentLucidity]

8.3.0 is so goofy that even SLINGER mains got shafted, what did BHVR smoke 😭

[@w1llrg]

I pretty much don't play anymore, and I've been maining slinger ever since he came out. I've never really dug that deep into all the tiny shots you can take but I agree it's so frustrating when from one update to another things change for seemingly no reason and they're not mentioned. Shack windows being completely blocked out of nowhere, tress like the one in badham you've shown... The most frustrating part is that they don't seem to have a sense of consistency in those changes. On Coldwind you can shoot on top of hay bails loop right above a rope if I recall, the shot is very tight and so impractical but possible. Then you have completely opened spots that look like they're a breeze to shoot through and they're just closed. Honestly, this is not only a slinger problem, in his case it's the hitboxes, but overall the game has a serious lack of polishing on specific things like this one. When you've played a lot, you start to notice them more and more and it's just sad when you realize that the devs don't really care about polishing, as long as it works it's good enough... That's why I stopped playing entirely.

[@latenightnomad]

I wanted to make a video talking about the inconsistencies of hitboxes in this game, your Coldwind point is precisely why. On some maps it feels like BHVR put in hours of work, other times they just carpet everything with an invisible wall and call it a day.

[@Phantom_Kraken]

(Not a slinger player) I never considered how y’all get fudged by map hit boxes because on my boi singularity I just shoot again when my shot fails y’all gotta commit to your one shot😰

[@latenightnomad]

Oh yeah, big time. Every time you miss a shot on Slinger, the survivor gets at least 5-8+ seconds of distance and the chase will usually end immediately. He's pretty punishing when you miss, but is super fun and rewarding which is why we play him.

the problem with gunslinger is he was made for a different era of dbd. than they are exploitable with you can run around a rock and tight lope and i can never hit you. I also found the Dredges Iron Maiden collection the skin is horrible

[@plaguefellow4956]

Man when i first got the new skin i thought they did the gun like that on purpose and was like only a chad deathslinger could use this thing lmao. He's loke probably my favorite killer overall and have been playing him since launch. Sometimes i can get some cheeky hits but he definitely feels neglected somewhat. The perk that allows you to put your terror radius on s gen is pretty good though and brings back stealthslinger pretty well which is fun. I just use the head. But i like the 4th anniversary skin with it and the candy gun.

[@DeathShlongerer]

I've been noticing the same thing in regard to collision and it has been turning me off from my favorite killer. Seriously I use to play this man everyday, but I find myself doing so less and less because it just feels like I have to relearn hitboxes every so often or simply can't make some of the shots I use to be able to. In regard to the skins, yeah.... I don't understand how they can release skins that blatantly just make his power worse hindering the aim and obscuring the sights, it feels like there just isn't testing prior to shipping them out, I still use the default rifle skin to this day cause of a lot the issues with skinned rifles.

[@DragonOnCoke7299]

The Halloween Candy redeemer is the best weapon in terms of it having the best iron sights

[@cduke08]

Didnt know about the walls getting invisible walls, hoping they fix these issues

[@cameronroddy9316]

I am still salty over the TR nerf. Deathslinger has a limited range and he is slow so it makes sense for him too have a lower TR, his old TR gave you just the right distance to get a shot off at the start of a chase or to get a sneaky shot off but now a good survivor will just pre-run focing the Deathslinger to chase and and hope he does not miss that first shot or just look for another survivor.

[@latenightnomad]

The problem is that lowering his TR back to 24m makes it possible to snipe survivors who don't even know you're there when using Monitor & Abuse/TR reduction add-ons. I'd much rather see an add-on pass first, followed by some light tweaks to his base-kit. I think his TR should be the last thing that gets touched and if it does need to be changed, I would try something unique like 28m.

[@w1llrg]

@@latenightnomad I think they should just add a new property on killers that locks the terror radius size no matter what and only addons could change it. This way we can have slinger back to 24m without worrying about perks. He isn't the only killer in the game that could benefit from something like this, I can already think of Wesker who has 40 meters of terror radius and I'm pretty sure this is because with MnA he could dash across his entire TR if he was 32.

[@latenightnomad]

@@w1llrg I don't _hate_ the idea, but it also removes variety. Even though it isn't good, I love doing things like Stealthslinger and I'd be sad if it were to get removed.

[@w1llrg]

@@latenightnomad I agree about the variety thing but as far as I remember there are only distressing and MnA in the game which alter your terror radius directly. The way I see it, at least for slinger, is that it's a chance to create stronger addons around that. I'm thinking about the two that reduce your TR when you aim, I forgot their name.

@@bayramzade8666 Yeah, definitely post it on YT or somewhere like reddit, because that sounds pretty serious. It would suck if two of my favorite killers were bugged lmao

[@Charlieweddle]

I think what really sucks is that anything he does, Huntress does 100% better. Even if he has the niche where he can get M1 perks going, that doesn't matter when players can stop him from reeling in, either via bodyblocks or using the environment. Also the STBFL change really killed his niche of being able to keep up in chases, considering if you're just playing him normally and you're chasing the obsession, you could in theory lose all 8 stacks at once, which is the dumbest thing in the universe. Between that, a 32 meter TR on a 110, his skill expression sometimes just costing you the game (compare Slinger max range shot effectiveness vs Huntress snipes on what they actually do for you) and he's arguably on the same tier of effectiveness as an M1 killer at times with how maps keep getting changed. He needs some help, big time, but BHVR is probably not going to do it

[@TheNightFinder]

One thing more. Make slinger 4.6ms

[@latenightnomad]

I don't think any projectile killer should be 4.6m/s. It would just make him oppressive in an unfun way, there are other things that should happen first before his movement speed is touched IMO.

[@thelegendgamer9639]

As me, who is never a deathslinger main, I did play some deathsinger, and I will admit he's pretty fun. But I will also admit that these problems he has do make him frustrating, but I'm way more frustrated about my boi knight with his bugs.

[@latenightnomad]

I think Deathslinger is still strong in the right hands. Quickscoping was just really uninteractive for the survivors and their experience matters, too. I don't think any killer should be able to zone that easily and effectively. While I don't think Slinger is in a perfect spot, I'd much rather have this version over the old one.

[@M1SS_VK]

I dont know if it's still the same i refuse to even try it but every gun skin changes his scope accuracy except the default. Its been like that for a while, so i play with only default despite having some nice skins i want to use. It's so ridiculous. Also thanks for addressing the bot side movement because I thought it was me. I was changing settings thinking it was my game bugging. The amount of time I've had people dc and then the bot just can't be reeled in from a sharpshooter shot

:41 You not glad they changed it, you just don’t want to be attacked in the comments lol. My first killer I played with was Slinger. I ran monitor & abuse with him & was literally snatching survivors off gens when his terror radius was still 24 meters. They nerfed his terror radius to 32 or whatever the main radius is but didn’t buff his movement speed. All in all he needs a whole rework. They need to stop catering to all complaining survivors, do to the new killers like nerfing chucky twice & rework some of the older killers like Slinger.

[@latenightnomad]

I am glad they changed it and I really don't care what other people have to say about my opinions, I can handle being attacked. I thought the old quickscope was unhealthy for the game just as I thought old Chucky was unhealthy for the game. Survivor perspectives matter too, killer players are not the only ones who matter. Without them we can't play, and without us, they can't play.

[@mcahtme2977]

They’re going to nerf Myers next year lol, basekit borrowed time survivors don’t even use that perk anymore. And towards end game it’s a automatic escape if the hook is right by the exit gates. Pain res nerf, call of brine nerf. There’s a Gen kick limit now & all the good gen defense perks aren’t good anymore. Can’t use Surge because it count towards the Gen kick limit.
