An A to Z guide to Friday 13th: The Game

I get commissions for purchases made through the links in this post, at no cost to you.

 

Why? Because I feel like it. 



 

Adam Palomino. 

Adam is one of my favorite counselors. He's good at repairing, and he's even one of the best choices for removing Jason's mask. In many ways Adam and Fox are similar counselors, both have good repair and strength. 

 



Baseball bat. 

For many players this is their favorite weapon in the game because it almost always stuns, but it doesn't make much damage to Jason's mask. My favorite weapon is the axe, it both stuns and does damage. 

 



Crystal Lake. 

The infamous camping grounds, where danger always lurks. Did you know that there even are Crystal Lake Tours in New Jersey?

 



Deborah, Kim. 

One of the repairing counselors. Adorable in her bunny costume. If you don't escape early, she is difficult to survive as. 




Ending. 

Friday the 13th: The Game is coming to an end on December 31st, 2024. After that you won't be able to play it.

 



Fox. 

One of the rare counselors based on a character from the movies. Out of all the female counselors, she has the best strength, for removing Jason's mask. And like I said, she's good for repairing too.




Glitches.

F13 is notoriously full of them. Remember the times when counselors were able to go to the roof of Packanack lodge by using traps? So Jason couldn't reach them? But then a way was discovered for Jason to go to the roof as well. It required Jason to be in rage mode. And how about the time when Jason was able to destroy the cars by throwing knives? Just to name a couple.

 



Higgins Haven. 

On this map you can escape with the car via the boat exit! Yes, I have seen some streamers do it, but have never been able to do it myself. Also still to this day, Jason can shift himself to the roof of one of the cabins. Good place to hide from a kill squad?


Ice cold. 

One of the perks in the game. With the final update to the game, which gave everyone the best perks, this one was among the removed ones. It made you less fearful of your dead team mates' bodies. Did anyone ever use it? To be fair, the rare times I've gotten jump scares in this game is because the counselors are so startled by the bodies. 


Jason, Voorhees. 

The man, the  myth, the legend. A serial killer. For some reason he seems to have fans. They must be psychopaths.

 



Kensington, Chad. 

Famous for his speed and speedo. Also you should know that Chad is a dick, and a momma's boy. He's afraid of even his own shadow. By the way, if you play as Chad and wear something else than the speedo, you are doing it wrong.




Lachappa, Eric JR. 

Some people paid to be in the game, Lachappa is one of them. He's good at repairing, but his stamina is the worst in the game. Therefore he's the most difficult counselor to play as.




Mitch Floyd. 

According to a conspiracy theory Mitch is just a Kenny with a beard. And is Mitch really "a kid", as he says when he calls the cops? How old is he? 

 



New Game. 

A new Friday the 13th game is in the works, but it probably won't be a multiplayer.


Offline play. 

You can play only as Jason offline, against bots. There is no AI Jason to go against as a counselor. And the counselor bots are... extremely stupid, to put it mildly.

 



Packanack. 

One of the locations/maps in the movies, and the game. On Packanack I prefer trying the boat escape. And die trying...

 



Quiet. 

A default emote for all the counselors. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it. 


Riedell, Kenny. The average guy, he's not good at anything. Usually the first to die, because of South Park of course. In my opinion he's the best looking male counselor.

 



Savini Jason. 

Many people would be willing to pay a lot of money to get Savini Jason now, but he was a pre order bonus. At some point Savini was also sold for a brief time by accident, was it on Xbox?


Tommy Jarvis. 

Special counselor right from the movies. Tommy is needed if you are gonna try to kill Jason. He has the best stats, and a shotgun with just one bullet. Better use it well...

 



Ultimate slasher edition

It has all the released content for the game, including DLCs.


Victoria Sterling. 

The blonde counselor is, according to some, the "Karen" of the game. Personally I love her looks. She also has surprisingly good stamina, 7/10.




Wilson, Brandon. 

Also known as Buggzy. The best counselor for mask removal, right after Tommy of course. So find a machete, and seek Jason. I'm sure you'll be just fine.




X

We never got Jason X. The lawsuit ruined everything for this game.


Youtube

Running out of ideas? Pleaze check oyt my you tube videos !!


Zzz.

You must be asleep by now.


Have fun at the Lake, while you still can!

Petition to keep Friday the 13th: The Game alive

There's a petition on change.org to keep Friday the 13th: The Game's servers open.

 


 


Keep the Friday the 13th Game Servers Open


I am a passionate player of the Friday the 13th game, and it has become an integral part of my life. The news that its servers are set to close at the end of 2024 has deeply affected me and many others in our gaming community. This game is not just a pastime; it's a platform where friendships have been forged, strategies developed, and countless hours of enjoyment experienced.

The Friday the 13th game has been incredibly popular since its release in May 2017. It quickly amassed a dedicated following due to its unique gameplay mechanics and faithful adaptation of one of horror's most iconic franchises (source: GamesIndustry.biz). Despite being several years old now, it still maintains an active player base who cherish this gaming experience.

The decision to shut down servers will not only disappoint thousands of players worldwide but also strip us off our beloved virtual meeting place. We understand that maintaining servers comes with costs, but we believe that with proper support from fans like us or through alternative funding models such as crowd-funding or subscription-based services, these costs can be covered.

We urge those responsible for this decision to reconsider their stance for all players who hold this game dear. Please keep open the Friday the 13th game servers beyond 2024! Sign this petition if you want to preserve our beloved gaming experience.

Friday the 13th: The Game Resurrected?

I get commissions for purchases made through the links in this post, at no cost to you.

 

Will Friday the 13th: The Game really die at the end of 2024? 

Some fans are working hard to keep the game alive even beyond that point. 

There's a mod coming for F13, called Resurrected. It has more content than any other mod before, and it's free to play.

 


 

The release date reveal of this mod will be on April 15, 2024.

Is this the miracle I have been waiting for? I have my doubts.

Is this mod legal? Will there be yet another law suit? 

It is my understanding that in the past some streamers who have been just streaming some F13 mods, have been banned from Twitch. I'm not sure if this is true though.

 


 

This new mod is coming for PC, and you don't need to own the base game for it to work. The makers are also hinting at the possibility of Resurrected coming to the consoles later, but could that really be possible?


Here's a teaser trailer for Resurrected:



 

Fans Are Bringing Back ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ With New “Resurrected” Build

EDIT: This mod has been cancelled!
