Friday the 13th: The Game Patch Notes Bring Part 5 Jason, New Kill

The patch notes for the latest Friday the 13th: The Game update are out that detail the new Part 5 Jason, his accompanying Pinehurst map, and a new kill that's now available.

Part 5 Jason and the Pinehurst Youth Development Center map were recently teased in a new video uploaded by Gun Media that previewed the incoming content that is free for all players. While the patch notes don't detail all of Part 5 Jason's unique stats, this Jason variation starts with more throwing knives, a boost to Stalk, and can run, but his disadvantages come in the form of lower defense, grip strength, and a decreased stun resistance. He also uses shears as his weapon of choice for his unique kills.

Below are all of the patch notes from Gun Media that detail everything new in the latest patch:
