Jeff is my least favorite part of the game, not because he's particularly scary or difficult, he's just annoying to deal with. Luckily he's pretty easy to bait around in the distillery and there's even a few points where you get a break from him.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for the workshop since most good mappacks seem to have at least one jeff encounter. In less favorable environments.

TLDR: I'm here to shoot things and solve puzzles not bait a walking kill trigger around for an hour.
