However, with that said, his playstyle is not the easiest to master. Overall, Savini Jason is a powerful antagonist and one of the better Jasons to use in the game. Ultimately, a counselor capable of staying on the move has a far greater chance of surviving an encounter with Savini Jason, as he excels in situations where counselors are at a stand still. A viable tactic against this Jason is working in small groups and having plenty of high-stun weaponry to keep Savini at bay while performing tasks such as vehicle repair and contacting the police or Tommy. Kill Jason strategies are somewhat discouraged, as Savini's heightened damage output and longer weapon reach can easily shut down any such idea in only 3-5 attacks. Lastly, his poor water speed is very situational and can only really pose an issue if a boat spawns in the map.Ĭounselors are encouraged to act quickly when faced with this Jason. His poor grip strength can be negligible in most cases, and completely irrelevant if the grabbed counselor is carrying a pocket knife. Also encouraged is the use of aggressive trap placement, however playing it safe and trapping key locations is equally beneficial. His inability to run can be worked around via careful use of his heightened Shift ability, as well as his Morph ability.

Savini Jason's weaknesses are either negligible or very situational. Combined with a starting total of five bear traps and two throwing knives (alongside the two available in the shack), as well as a 50% longer weapon reach, Savini has all the tools necessary for a very aggressive and hostile method of playing. Savini's strengths include Shift, allowing him to use it longer, as well as reducing his cooldown, Weapon Strength, which causes his attacks to deal more damage, and Destruction, which enables him to break down doors in a reduced number of hits. That aside, his primary playstyle seems to border on the "slasher" archetype, in which Jason benefits from attacking and pursuing counselors outright as opposed to grabbing them and diversifying his kills. Savini Jason seems to be designed with more vanity than he can feasibly use in the hands of a casual player. He has horrible burns and wounds and Jason's weapon is the Devil's own pitchfork, taken from the hand of Lucifer himself. The design for Savini Jason is based off how Jason would've looked if he had escaped Hell after The Final Friday. This Jason model reflects Tom Savini's interpretation of what might have happened to Jason after this epic event."įriday the 13th: The Game is being developed for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, for release in Early 2017.įor more information, visit: or 3 Characteristics, Appearance, and Weapons

New version of Jason Voorhees, created exclusively for Friday the 13th: The Game by the legendary horror icon himself, Mr. "This trailer highlights a new song from Crazy Lixx ("Killer"), and features a host of new brutal kills and a first look at Jason models from Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, and Friday the 13th Part 9: Jason Goes to Hell. It's a little disappointing and hopefully it will be included by game's release. Also, Jason's exposed spine seen in the film was not included in the character design shown below. I get the idea, but I would have preferred to keep the look from the film.
