Overview and stats

John Doe can be unlocked from the in-game Shop for 1,000 Cash, which is a fairly low purchase cost. Since he can be acquired easily, we recommend practising his moves and formulating a game plan if his playstyle appeals to you.

He can place traps all over the map with the aim of cornering and killing his targets. His trapping-style gameplay makes John Doe a powerful character in both short and long ranges, but using him effectively is challenging. You need to be aware of the Survivors’ positions, as well as those of your traps. That way, you will be able to corner your targets effectively. Naturally, this can only be achieved through practice.

Refer to the list below for his stats:

• Difficulty: Five Stars
• Health: 1,500
• Regular Speed: 9
• Sprinting Speed: 27.5
• Max Stamina: 110
• Stamina Loss per second: 9.5
• Stamina Gain per second: 21
• Terror Radius: 60 studs

John Doe’s stats are comparable to the likes of Noli and Jason, placing him smack-dab in the middle of the stat list of killers. That said, his passives and abilities elevate him above the average Killer, making him a force to be reckoned with in the hands of an experienced player.

He receives a Speed I buff for 2.5 seconds after the stun duration is over. Increases the duration of the buff by an additional second for each Sentinel alive at the time of the passive’s activation.

He can use the following abilities whenever they are not on cooldown:

• Corrupt Energy: Slams the ground, causing 27 spikes to erupt before him that last 14 seconds each. Has a cooldown of 18 seconds.
• Digital Footprint: Stomps three times to summon shadows under his foot1s. These shadows double as traps. Each trap lasts up to 165 seconds, and only a maximum of three traps can exist at a time. If a trap is sprung, the target receives the Corrupted I or II debuff, while John Doe receives Speed I buff for 10 seconds each. Additionally, John Doe and the trapped Survivor’s locations are revealed to each other.
• 404 Error: Reveals the locations of all Survivors for four seconds. Has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
