M1 Killer

Pressure with a readable power

The best first killer job. Leave a healthy survivor to kick a gen. One hooked person plus regression is more than a 60-second locker patrol.

Job: Multiple gens, not one survivor for three minutesOps: Wraith, Huntress, Trapper — before Nurse

Kit: A power you can read · A kick on a gen after a hook · The discipline to leave a healthy survivor

Strengths

  • Teaches pressure, which is how killers win
  • Huntress hatchets teach aim without Nurse blinks
  • Wraith teaches when to uncloak on a loop

Weaknesses

  • Tunneling at five gens every game — you can win and learn nothing
  • Camping a hook while four gens pop

Starter tips

  1. 1

    Pick someone with a readable power (Wraith, Huntress, or a simpler licensed killer) before Nurse.

  2. 2

    Leave a healthy survivor to kick a gen.

  3. 3

    Do not 3-minute patrol a locker. The other three are on gens.

  4. 4

    Play survivor. You will pressure better after you have been the one on the gen.
