Why does BBQ & Chilli also give extra blood points?

Just the aura reveal from BBQ & Chilli makes it easily the best perk in the game but it alao give you an extra blood point bonus? I mean just why? I would take the extra blood points as a perk by itself, let alone with the aura reveal.


(devs if you’re reading this please put bbq and chilli in the shrine thanks)

    People use it for the BP, the aura reveal is just a bonus. It's a great perk but not a strong perk, survivors don't suffer much. The killer sacrifices a perk slot and the only bonus he gets during gameplay is the short aura reveal.

    Damn, basekit BBQ bloodpoints might actually increase the amount of killers in the game and solve the MM issues. Genius.

    If they increased the amount of bp we got and just reworked bbq i wouldnt use it which is kinda my problem with it i need to run it to get bp faster because its so slow without it. I think they should honestly increase the base bp gain and rework bbq into a even better perk but idk.

    I mean, the bloodpoints is the reason I use it. Bro, when you can walk away from a game, without a blood hunt active, and no streamer addons, with 150k, because of BBQ, that's a good haul.

    I should also add, because I know someone is going to say "yeah lol you don't use it for tracking LUL"...the only time BBQ tracking is remotely useful is when you slug and want to find the last survivor on the ground across the map (kind of like a make-shift deerstalker). Other than that, it's way too easy to juke and counter. I use whisper for tracking anyway xD

    The aura reveal isn’t very strong because of lockers existing.

    BBQs Aura Reveal is not that strong. It can be countered by lockers or sitting behind Gens, and for most of the Killers, it does not help that much. Even if you see nobody, this does not mean that they are close to the Hook.

    While certain Killers really get a lot of BBQ (Billy, Spirit, Huntress, Nurse...), so either Killers with high mobility or a high range, others will not get anything from it. Like, why use BBQ on Hag? When you are there, they are gone already. Same with most of the Killers, it is nice because of the BPs and not because of the Aura Read.

    Also, why is BBQ such a good Perk? ---> You want people to buy the DLC. You get Leatherface (one of the weakest Killers in the game) with two other Perks which are also weak (or maybe mediocre, at best). It is the only selling argument of the DLC (besides people who simply like the character of course)

    I would rather see WGLF buffed in a way that you can accumulate more stacks, which would make it fair for both sides to use their extra-BP-Perk, because WGLF forces you to play a certain way while BBQ give extra BP by just playing the game.

    An eaxmple:

    As Spirit I can choose between:

    • Stridor + Bamboozle + Pop + Ruin/other perk
    • Stridor + Bamboozle + Pop + BBQ

    If BBQ wouldnt exist, you would always have both Ruin and Pop. Its hard to resist double bp, so you can have easier games as survivor.

    Also, if Ruin would feel too weak, I would replace it with Dying Light (100% slower game), Corrupt Intervention, Knock Out (slugging), Infectious Fright, Blood Warden (longer match), Rancor (I would make sure to find and mori the obsession), Discordance (No double co-op points for you), STBFL (easier chases), I'm All Ears, Make Your Choice (someone always 1-shot) or basic NOED

    You better leave BBQ as it is.

    It’s not even the best perk in the game WITH the aura and bonus BP.

    I only run it because I care more about BP than winning. I’d rather run a slowdown perk than BQ.

    If anything, WGLF should get some sort of extra benefit other than just BP

    Well, for consoles, anyhow. On PC the game would break then.

    It's good that such a great perk also gives so much BP, that makes the perk by far the best in the game since more BP will get you better add-ons.

    But the survivor side needs WGLF to also be a good or great perk besides the bloodpoints.

    I don't see how extra bp is an issue

    it gives a lot of points is normal that people uses it even if u have A TERRIBLE GAME you will still get more points than killing 4 man or at least similar and piping so is worthy 11 out of 10 times, anyway the perk has an easy counter by going into lockers or hiding behind a gen or jsut getting closer to the hook or u can use distortion with 3 tokens (wich imo should get buffed to a total of 5 tokens becasue 3 is not too much). also incentivate the killer going to other areas and also survivors have their own BBQ.

    Survivors, “I hate killers who camp hooks.”

    Also survivors, “this perk that gives killers incentives to leave the hook and cross the map needs nerfed.”

    BBQ auras aren't that strong. It is rather easy to fake out killers with low mobility or counter aura reads completely.

    The aura reading is nice to have, and I probably would use the perk less if it wasn't there but I most certainly wouldn't run it at all if the BP bonus was removed and switch to Thrilling Tremors instead.

    Survivors are STILL compaining about BBQ&Chilli? Its aura reading has SEVEN counters, and only 1 needs a specific perk to pull off. Meaning you can foool the killer in SIX different ways? Is that STILL not enough for you??

  • johnmwarner

    Right! I just assume killers have BBQ and fake them out, since I’ve started using Kindred too I can see them moving towards me and I know it’s time to get away and make them waste time searching bushes and lockers where they think I am
