Friday the 13th the game: Tips and tricks

I watch a lot of streams of Friday the 13th: The game, and it's most painful to watch if a player has been playing this game for years, and doesn't know even the most simple survival methods of the game.

So I absolutely have to write a guide about seemingly little known tips about the game.


Tips as counselors

 

See my previous, elementary tips for counselors here



 

Stamina is a counselor's most important asset. And what affects it, besides the stat itself? Fear. How do you reduce fear?

If you keep your flashlight on it makes you regain stamina faster, which is essential for survival. Therefore I always keep my flashlight on. It's the first thing I do when the match starts, put the flashlight on. I do turn the flashlight off on some occasions. Like for example when juking Jason inside a cabin. But most of the time the flashlight stays on.


But doesn't using the flashlight make Jason see you easier?

 

Yes. But if you know anything about Jason's sense mechanic you realize that you are gonna light up like a christmas tree on Jason's screen anyway. Crouching in the bushes doesn't work in this game. You are not hidden when Jason uses sense!

Another tip how to regain stamina faster: hiding spots. Going into a hiding spot makes you get your stamina back faster.

 


 

If you have a pocket knife you can use it to re-start the car. When Jason grabs you out of the car, be ready. Get straight back in the car and start it. Whether you have enough time to start the car during Jason's pocket knife animation, depends on the counselor's luck stat. Counselors like Tommy and Chad with 10/10 luck are the best for this. Counselors with 1/10 luck like AJ and Shelly do NOT have enough time for this trick, unless Jason player messes up. Even with 2/10 luck it's risky. And for this to work, you as a counselors can't mess up, you have to be as fast as possible. If there's any delay on your part, Jason is gonna grab you again.

 



When Jason is in rage, your best chances of starting the car are pocket knives and shotguns (I personally hate when shotguns are "wasted" early on in the match, but that's a whole another topic). When Jason is stunned to the ground, there is enough time to start the car. When Jason is stunned standing up, there is not enough time.

Did you know?

 

There can be a health spray in the bathrooms of cabins. Also the boat propeller can spawn in a bathroom!

There are always 3 pocket knives in every match/map. Two in cabin drawers, and one outside, for example on a campsite. Do not overlook the campsites, they can have important loot.

 




Common mistakes

 

Crouching does NOT make your stamina regain faster.

 

If you commit suicide you can't become Tommy. So if you are waiting for that, you are just wasting your time.


If you play as a random counselor your Tommy will be perkless.

 

 

Can you still get the trophies in Friday the 13th game?

No, you can't. Not the cumulative trophies which take more than one match to achieve. You can only get the trophies which you can earn in a single match.
