Slasher

Overview

Slasher is an Adversary Mode added with the Halloween Surprise update on October 29, 2015, and unlocked at Rank 1. It supports 2 to 8 players, or 4 to 8 on the Bunker and Missile Base maps. Variations include Slasher I to V, Bunker - Slasher, Missile Base - Slasher and Diamond - Slasher. Every map takes place indoors except Slasher III, which is set on a ship.

How it works

The Slasher team always has a single player, by default the host, armed with a Pump Shotgun fitted with a flashlight and a Machete. The Hunted team has up to seven players carrying only a Flashlight.

For the first three minutes, the Slasher hunts the Hunted, who must hide in the darkness. After three minutes, every Hunted receives a shotgun and the Slasher becomes the prey. The Slasher wins by killing all the Hunted; the Hunted win by killing the Slasher. If both sides are still alive when the second timer ends, both fail.

Tips

• Hunted should keep flashlights off when hiding to avoid giving away their position.
• Listen for footsteps; sound is often the only warning.
• As the Slasher, push hard in the first three minutes while you hold the advantage.
• Once the Hunted are armed, the Slasher should retreat to a choke point.

Rewards and unlocks

• Unlocked at Rank 1.
• Standard Adversary Mode payouts of cash and RP.
