The Slasher is the first killer available in Forsaken, serving as a redesigned version of Jason. Armed with his machete and a set of punishing melee abilities, he can quickly dominate if used right. Although The Slasher lacks ranged options, his abilities inflict Bleeding and disable opponents, making him deadly in chases. So, to help you use him correctly, this guide will cover how to unlock him, his skillset, advanced PvP strategies, and how to counter him effectively.
How to Unlock Slasher in Forsaken
The Slasher is unlocked immediately upon joining Forsaken, making him the first killer accessible to all players. Added with Update 3.1.0, this Killer replaced the previous Jason design. While his appearance and lore were altered, his kit and gameplay remain the same. Here's a complete breakdown of his stats and skills.
Slasher - Stats and Skills
The Slasher is classified as a Pursuit/Ambush killer. He relies heavily on melee and stamina management while punishing survivors caught in close quarters. His core abilities are:
- Slash (M1): Deals 20 damage with Bleeding I for 5s. Enhanced when ENRAGED for increased damage and lunging distance.
- Behead (Q): Heavy horizontal swing, disabling survivor abilities and inflicting Helpless I. Strong when chained to other skills.
- Gashing Wound (E): A devastating combo attack dealing up to 50-70 damage, ragdolling survivors. Highly rewarding but risky if missed.
- Raging Pace (R): Increases speed, reveals the nearest survivor’s aura, and makes The Slasher immune to stuns while ENRAGED. Best used to close the distance during chases.
Best PvP Tips and Tricks to Play Slasher
If you plan on using the Slasher Killer in Forsaken, here are the top five PvP tips and tricks to have an easier time using him:
- Prioritize using Bleeding: Always open with Slash to stack Bleeding effects, which will force survivors to take damage over time and panic.
- Chain Combos: Use Behead to disable abilities, then follow with Gashing Wound for maximum damage while survivors are incapacitated.
- Manage Stamina Carefully: Don’t waste the Raging Pace skill too early. Save it for moments when survivors are cornered or looping tightly.
- Prioritize Ability-Dependent Survivors: Characters like Sentinels or Guest 1337 lose effectiveness when hit by Behead. Target them first.
- Avoid Overcommitting: Gashing Wound is devastating but punishable. Use it only when you’re sure of the hit, preferably against stunned or cornered survivors.
How to Counter Slasher in Forsaken
The Slasher’s lack of ranged options is his biggest weakness. If you want to counter the Slaher, then you need to exploit distance whenever possible, forcing him to waste stamina in long chases. Looping around structures can stall him, and unpredictability makes it harder for him to land Behead.
If caught in his aura during Raging Pace, you should try to bait his dash and escape afterward, as his stamina drain will limit his pursuit. Survivors that apply Slowness, like Dusekkar or Builderman, are excellent counters since they can reset his chase. Guest 1337 specifically has strong skills, like being able to punish Slasher during Gashing Wound with a free punch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes. The Slasher was redesigned to avoid copyright issues with Warner Bros. His lore and visuals changed, but his abilities and mechanics remain identical to Jason's.
Keep distance, loop around obstacles, and bait out his abilities. Use Slowness effects or ranged pressure to disrupt his stamina and prevent him from closing in.
Gashing Wound is his highest-damage skill, but it should only be used when guaranteed to hit. Behead is also extremely strong since it disables survivor abilities, making follow-ups easier.
