- Name: Danny Johnson

Powers and perks
Playing as Ghost Face, you must focus on performing surprise attacks. It is one of two killers who are able to crouch. Combined with the killer's relatively short height, this often makes him quite difficult to spot.
Its power - Night Shroud - makes him undetectable. This means that its Terror Radius is off. Thanks to this skill he can sneak up on Survivors.
The biggest advantage of using powers, however, is the possibility of stalking. Once the potential victim is within your sight, you can start. A special circle will appear around the character's portrait and gradually fill in. Once it's filled, the Survivor will be given "Exposed" status for 60 seconds.
Bear in mind that if you are hidden behind an obstacle, then the speed of stalking is doubled.
The Survivors are not completely defenseless. If they stare at you for 1.5 seconds, you will be revealed and lose power for 25 seconds. The person who revealed you, on the other hand, will be marked.
On the other hand, when it comes to perks, Ghost Face is quite average. These perks mainly have an informative role.
Icon | Perk | Effect |
I'm All Ears | The Aura of any Survivor performing a rushed action within 48 meters of your location is revealed to you for 6 seconds. The perk can be activated only once every 60/50/40 seconds. | |
Thrilling Tremors | After picking up a Survivor, all Generators which aren't repaired at the moment are blocked by The Entity for 16 seconds. The perk has a cooldown of 100/80/60 seconds. | |
Furtive Chase | Each time you hook your Obsession, you get 1 Token, up to a maximum of 2/3/4 Tokens: During a Chase, your Terror Radius is reduced by 4 meters for each token accumulated. When a Survivor rescues the Obsession from Hook, they automatically becomes a new obsession. |
How to play Ghost Face?
Ghost Face is a Killer you have to play more passively. This is because he does not have much ability to break the loop. Therefore, it is not worth getting into a too long chase. Instead, it is better if you pull out, get out from sight and activate your power. Then you can sneak up on a less vigilant Survivor in a more convenient place for you.
The environment also plays an important role during gameplay. Use any object sticking out of the ground as a potential cover from which you can stalk Survivors.
It is also a very good strategy to charge the stalk bar to 99%. Then, during the chase, you can instantly launch the ability and complete the whole process. The Survivor will then become vulnerable, and you will be able to knock them down with one blow.
Also, remember not to overuse crouching. In this mode, you move slower, thus losing valuable time. Therefore, crouch only in the area where you expect Survivors.
Examplary build
For Ghost Face, you have a great many options. There are no perks that significantly enhance his power. So you can rely on your personal preferences. However, to be more specific, the optimal choice for this Killer is a combination of skills of detecting survivors and slowing down the generators progression.
Icon | Perk | Effect |
Deadlock | Repairing a generator causes the Entity to block the generator with the most progression for 20/25/30 seconds. | |
Call of Brine | The perk activates when a generator is damaged. The generator regresses at 150/175/200% of its normal regression speed, and its aura is highlighted in yellow. Every time a survivor completes a Good Skill Check at this generator, you will get a sound notification. | |
Barbecue & Chilli | After hanging a Survivor on a hook, the auras of Survivors more than 60/50/40 meters away from you will be revealed for 4 seconds. | |
Lethal Pursuer | At the beginning of a match, the auras of all survivors are revealed to you for 7/8/9 seconds. Extends the effect of other perks based on reveal aura by 2 seconds. |
