Slasher's teachable perks and unique abilities
Jason's unique abilities include: omnipresent evilHe is in stealth mode, which allows him to move around the map very quickly, becoming invisible and undetectable. While in this mode, Jason can see a red mist on any Survivor performing the Generator, Totem Purification, High Jump, or Healing action. He can also see red footprints showing where the survivors are walking.
When exiting this mode from a window, pallet, or breakable wall, Jason uses the following special abilities: jump scareYou can create survivors nearby scream apply and killer instinct.
His secondary special ability is Spike ThrowingIt is found in pile of junk Around the map. Jason can quickly grab it from a dummy or a killer hook while on the move, and the killer hook returns after 15 seconds. He also automatically replenishes spikes after connecting survivors. Then it could be thrown like this: projectile Can injure healthy Survivors, knock down injured Survivors, or pin them to walls. Jason doesn't have to wait for a survivor to remove a spike and throw another one.
The Throwing Spike projectile should be thought of as a bit similar to Springtrap and his axe, but the hitbox is similar to the Deathslinger's gun.
