Finally, when playing the Nurse you have the ability to quickly and rapidly take out fleeing survivors, but that doesn't mean you should blindly chase players throughout the map. Be wise in your pursuit of other players, make smart and tactical use of your superior ability that way you can teleport to a useful cut-off point. Instead of wasting blinks to pop up behind a player use your teleportation to blink in front or beside a survivor that way you have the positional advantage to ambush the fleeing survi


The first, and by far the most important, part of playing the Nurse is to truly have a feel for a map's layout before playing the killer. As the majority of her toolkit revolves around being able to quickly and rapidly cut off fleeing survivors with Spencer's Last Breath. There will be shortcuts or particular paths that can give the character an edge in hunting the survivors and learning these routes will up your success rate with the character.

As mentioned earlier in the guide, Hillbilly is a very basic killer in a game filled with personality and apocalyptic ingenuity Build in-depth mechanics. But the character makes up for his lacking personality by having some of the most powerful tools in the game. But to truly get mileage out of his seemingly bare-bones arsenal will take some practice, but can lead to some incredibly quick and brutal rounds of Dead by Dayli


Finally, it is important to use abilities that synergize well with Hillbilly's ability. Teachable perks like Barbeque and Chili play well into Hillbilly's hand and make him a quick and versatile threat for even the most slippery Survivors. Barbeque being one of the best perks for Hillbilly as it allows the Killer to see any enemy in range of the Killer after hooking a Survivor. This essentially turns Hillbilly from a chainsaw-wielding fiend into a missile locked onto a specific target. Provided his incredible speed and one hit kill potent


Oni - the Oni is one of the newest killers to the game.

Orbs are dropped from injured survivors who do specific actions. For Oni to become truly powerful, he has to injure at least one survivor. But when Oni gets going he can sprint and instant-down any survivor in his path until his Blood Fury runs


Capcom made a wise decision including Resident Evil Resistance within the Resident Evil 3 base package. In doing so, they may succeed in fulfilling Evolve's original aim by establishing a strong online community among mainstream gamers invested in an asymmetrical multiplayer game, which has not been fully realized in the gaming industry at this point in time. It is questionable whether gamers, even Resident Evil fans, would pay money for a stand-alone Resident Evil multiplayer game, especially given that Resident Evil's past attempts at doing so have not been met with much success among online play


Something to consider when deciding when or when not to blink with the Nurse is that the ability has a major drawback. If a survivor shines a flashlight on the Nurse as she is blinking she will be stunned by the flash for a short period of time. Stunting her movement and chasing of the survivors. So be careful when choosing when or when not to blink. A well-timed flashlight can place the Nurse at a severe disadvant
