Guide to Cook and Win on the Nancy’s House Map

Сrеdit gоеs to Folie à Deux!

Intro

I think we can all agree that the new Nancy’s House map is a nightmare for disorganized killers. I may update this guide with new information the more I play since it just released. i would like to share my experience with what has been working for me so far.

Family Set Up

  • Cook is a must.
  • Hitchhiker is a strong preference.
  • Leatherface or Nancy.

You could make it work with Sissy, but she is not as useful as the others mentioned.

Johnny is a nerfed mess at the moment and would not recommend him.

Cook Gameplay

As usual the old guy is saddled with a lot of responsibilities.

Padlock: placements are Front Door (leading out to sunflower yard), WHITE GATE that leads to the road escape and the BACK GATE leading to the ladder that goes up to the balcony.

Build

I run a Serrated, Scout and Blood Bucket build with attribute points focused in Savagery and Blood Collecting. Always run the Grandpa perk Exterior Alarms on Cook unless one of your teammates already has it equipped. As a backup you can use No One Escapes Hell.

Gameplay

After placing locks, Cook should start his patrol in the garage area. Keep the garage door closed. There are two locked sliding doors from the garage that lead upstairs to the roadside escape that he should patrol. Additionally, he should use his family focus often to check that the lock is still intact by the back gate. Sometimes, especially with no Leatherface putting pressure in the basement, the victims will already have a sliding door opened while you are going around getting all your locks up.

To counter this, have a family member cover the garage area to give you enough time to put your locks up since Cook is slow. If the Fuse box spawns in the garage Cook should patrol that as well. You no doubt will have victims try to open the sliding doors thinking they have an easy escape. The Serrated and high Savagery help to get some good whacks to discourage them.

Remember do not get caught up in a chase. If victims have gotten upstairs or the up the driveway you can then move your patrol to those areas. Sometimes the fuse spawns on the balcony. There you can check on your front door lock with family focus while you ping and make call outs from the balcony since it gives a great overview of the junkyard.

Help as best as you can with gathering blood in the NEAR vicinity but I would not go running around collecting blood on this map due to how easy it is for victims to be sneaky and escape. Maybe leave that job for a Sissy or Nancy since they would be circling around the map if they are not assigned car battery patrol.

I find this set up works well if another teammate strictly patrols car battery, the third possible fuse spawn and generator side. A successful win ideally requires a cohesive team on comms with this map.

Thank you for reading!

Hitchhiker

I just want to add that Hitchhiker is great as a second choice for a teammate due to his traps and chase ability. Some ideas for trap placement are car battery gate, car battery sliding door, fuse, the padlocked gate by the ladder for extra reinforcement, the padlocked front door for extra reinforcement, generator and valve.

You can’t trap them all of course but these are some options depending on what family members you are playing with. I would trap generator due to how easy an escape can be if the generator gets turned off. These are not sneaky areas that will catch victims off guard but they do often help to slow down the escape and see which areas victims are focusing on when using your family focus to check if your traps have been disabled.
