Friday the 13th: The Game, which started life as a Kickstarter campaign, has now been released, and players who have purchased it are now scrambling to find out how to survive the game and kill Jason Voorhees.
The launch of Friday the 13th: The Game was delayed to this spring as its developers worked to add a single-player mode to the previous multiplayer-only title. It is now out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
How To Kill Jason In 'Friday The 13th: The Game'
In Friday the 13th: The Game, players either play as camp counselors or as the unstoppable Jason, who offers players the chance to unleash a multitude of brutal killing scenes.
YouTuber Kephrii, however, has uploaded a video on how to kill Jason and survive the horrors of Camp Crystal Lake. Taking down Jason involves a complicated series of steps, and there is the high probability that Jason will be able to kill all players first. However, it does provide hope that at least some camp counselors can escape from the terrifying ordeal.
The first step is to find the CB Radio. The item can then be used to talk to Tommy Jarvis, who can be convinced to come to Camp Crystal Lake to help the trapped counselors.
After players have contacted Tommy, one of the counselors will need to either die or escape the camp. Afterwards, there is a chance that Tommy will enter Camp Crystal Lake. He comes with a shotgun, but the player who controls him will need to find a machete to kill Jason.
The third step is for a female counselor to enter Jason's house and acquire the sweater from his mother's shrine. Upon getting the sweater, the character will wear it. It comes with a special ability that can only be used once, so it should not be wasted.
The next step is the hardest, as players will need to remove Jason's mask. The best way to do so would be to stun him with a trap, and then players can use a blunt weapon such as a bat to keep hitting Jason until the mask is knocked off. Jason may be able to respond from the attack, and so it is possible that at least one player will die in this step.
The fifth step is for Tommy to pick up the mask and wear it. This step seems to be an optional one, but there is no harm in making sure that the process works.
Next, the player wearing the sweater will need to stun Jason by standing near him and then activating the special ability provided by the sweater once he moves closer. The voice of Jason's mother will stun him, but only momentarily, so the final steps will need to be done quickly. If players fail, there is no way to try it again as the sweater's ability can no longer be triggered.
Once Jason is stunned, players will need to launch an all-out attack against him until he drops to his knees, signaling that the end is near.
Once Jason is on his knees, the player controlling Tommy should then approach him and press the Interact button. A cut scene will then play showing the death of Jason.
Other Survival Tips For 'Friday The 13th: The Game'
Completing the process to kill Jason in Friday the 13th: The Game is easier said than done though, as a lot of things can go wrong in between.
Players should not venture into the woods, as it is an easy hunting ground for Jason. It is also easier for Jason to hunt camp counselors who move in groups due to the noise that they make, so players should move only in pairs.
Lastly, players should select camp counselors with high speed and stamina stats, as they are the most important ones in surviving the night against Jason. The best three characters are Brandon, Tiffany, and Vanessa, with Kenny also a possible option due to his well-rounded stats.
