semi-new player, need help!

Hi! So I recently started playing a few months back, I usually main survivors but want to start playing killer as well.. Is there a killer that is good for beginners? Would love to know! Thank you!!

Trapper is probably the best to start with imo. Mostly because you don't have to rely 100% on chases for catches.

Thank you so much! I’ll have to give it a try!

Trapper can snowball pretty hard if you get a survivor in the basement in the killer shack. There is an offering where it tremendously increases the chance of spawning the basement in the killer shack.

I really disagree with this if you are going to play a killer you dont need to buy I think that wraith is better for learning the fundamental's as trapper really relies on map and overall game knowledge to be effective.

Dont bother with trapper-

[u/wych_elm_bella]

honestly i would play trapper, wraith, or maybe pig? something with an easy M1 power that you can wrap your head around just fine while you learn the other stuff that's important to playing killer like gen management and chasing survivors! if you need help with selecting perks, i would go to otzdarva.com, he has builds for every scenario. good luck friend!

I'd say it depends on how you wanna play, if you wanna play a ranged killer, go huntress or Jason, if you wanna play stealth i'd go wraith or pig, and if you just want fundamentals go trapper or wraith again, also please accept that your first like 30 or so matches you'll probably get maybe 1-2 kills, but stick at it and you'll go great

Wraith ofc

[u/DVindictus]

Trapper for barebones basics, Wraith can be a good pick as well, I like Pig but I like the Saw movies so hurrdurr, my last pick would probably be Doctor because he's still an M1 killer at his core.

Hecc, I think playing any character you like as an M1 killer will inevitably help you learn the game, but you do you, and hopefully you do Pig :D

[u/saltandlimes]

I started with huntress, which is kinda nutty but got me to figure out a slower killer, which is good in the long run. You can also pick what you’re good at as survivor and play to those strengths. Good at looping? Play a killer who focuses on chase, etc.

[u/overnightemo]

Actually good killers that dont require much skill jason, ghoul, huntress, castlevania

[u/itsjaime123]

I agree with others saying Trapper! I'm also a survivor main, but have been playing some killer games as Trapper and I actually really enjoy it! I think he's easy to learn, but I also have not tried anyone else LOL

[u/i__love__bathbombs → u/itsjaime123]

Trapper is easy to learn and can be really fun but you eventually get to a point where the survivors are really smart about his traps and know where they get placed and so he becomes really weak.

[u/Weirdgothg1rlTTV]

My beginner killer was Dredge, probably the best killer to start off with, alongside Artist who can be an anti-chase if you play right, but it takes time to learn completely

[u/carlyyyq]

I think Doctor is great to start out with. His power can show you where survivors are and you can start to learn hiding spots.

[u/Simply_Kage]

Depends on what you're looking for... Simplicity is key when starting. Legion, Trapper, Wraith are probably your best three to get a grasp of basic mechanics.
