Jacob
Is what I'm doing worth it? Do I want to know what I'm chasing after?
Info
Health: 100 - Stamina: 100 - RunSpeed: 30 - Price: ?
Jacob is the main sentinel, being the only character in the game currently able to stun the entity. Jacob is extremely important to his team, being able to protect his teammates by stopping the entity in their tracks completely with his shotgun. Along with having the currently highest health of all survivors and a multi-use evasive tool being his roll, Jacob can stall for long periods of time with or without help from his teammates, preferably with help.
Abilities
- Experience His passive which'll let him do tasks faster, tasks aren't ingame yet.
- GateJumper Jacob will roll in the direction you’re currently moving, draining 15 stamina but giving i-frames during the animation, has 20 second cooldown after used.
- NoLongerReady Jacob will have startup of pulling out a shotgun, clicking will fire the shotgun, applying Staggered IV for a maximum of 4.5s to a minimum of 1s depending on your distance to them. Has a range of 30 studs, after firing it'll put the ability on a 55 second cooldown, Jacob cannot use this while running or in the air.
- CombatRoll You can combine both the roll and shotgun pull animation, its more flashy than useful, as you can lose stuntime due to distance gained. However this catches people off guard easily, and can usually always work.
- PumpFake As stated earlier, taking out the gun just to not shoot can work quite well, keep in mind you cannot run or jump while faking out the killer.
using a mix of jumping and rolling to maintain stamina in chase
This ability is very important to use right, it can save your life at times, examples of using this are: Dodging powerful moves (JX1 Dash, Mutant Instinct), creating distance, regaining stamina, and correcting mistakes.

surprising a JX1 rounding a corner
This ability feels great to use, however, it can be weak and sometimes a detriment to your team if not used correctly. As said before the shotgun’s stun time is relative to how close you are to the entity, heavily avoid using it at long range. The most common and easiest way to land shots with full stun time is from behind a wall, this can be done whether you’re in chase or it's one of your teammates. You can also take out the shotgun then put it away to throw the killer off, when will you shoot?

Opinion
Jacob is the best survivor alone, he has the most useful tools to extend chases for up to a minute and can even win last robloxian standing. He has quite a lot of depth despite being simple, but lacks tools if a killer can outplay your abilities. As of 4/28/25, i'd say hes the best survivor, but that does not make him overpowered, he is just a general all rounder while others are better in their own niches. It's down to your playstyle on who you believe is the best survivor honestly.
