Friday the 13th the game: Tips as counselors

These are some common mistakes made by the counselors in Friday the 13th: The Game.

If you find the phone box fuse it should be your top priority to try to find the phone house. If this does not interest you, drop the fuse. Don't keep the fuse hostage.

If the fuse has been dropped by the phone box, don't take it and run away elsewhere with it. By doing so you'll probably doom every counselor in the lobby to die.

This is my pet peeve in the game. In my opinion the fuse is the most important item in the game. I rarely rage quit as host, but forementioned behaviour might trigger me to do so.

 

Many players don't seem to know that once Jason hits rage mode, flare guns and fire crackers become useless. They don't stun Jason anymore. If you try to use them on a Jason who's in rage you are likely to die. When Jason is in rage he can only be stunned by shotgun or mask removal.

Never lock one hit doors. What are one hit doors? These are doors which Jason can break in one hit, whether they are locked or not. There are one hit doors for example on Packanack and Higgins Haven main lodges. If you lock those doors, a counselor might die because of you. If Jason is chasing them and they are in a hurry, a locked door might mean the difference between life and death. How many times I have died because idiots lock one hit doors...

And never ever place traps behind these one hit doors! And never put traps behind unbarricaded doors. In general, be very careful with trap usage. They are always more likely hurt counselors than Jason. Unless you are an asshole who likes to troll other counselors with traps.

If you are playing as a low repair character, and there's a counselor with better repair skill right next to you, then for God's sake drop the item and let the repair counselor repair. Repair counselors are meant to repair, that's their meaning of life!

 

And by the way, if you play as a repair counselor and don't repair... you might as well play as Vanessa.

If you have the car keys, pay attention to cars. At worst there could be two fully repaired cars for the whole match, without anyone starting them. What a waste. And again, because of this everyone will probably die. If you don't want to drive yourself, drop the keys, preferably near the car.
