Perk Synergies on The Deathslinger
I really like the new killer's design. A lot of people compares him with the huntress, and I honestly agree with them. However you have to keep in mind that Deathslinger can in fact pull a survivor close to you for a basic attack. Also, he's a 110% speed killer. I didn't have the time to experiment with him today, but I thought of some perks that (in theory) could synergize with this two key aspects, and some others too.
If you have the chance to try some of this out, leave your results in the comments :)
1- Hex: No One Escapes Death - this perk should benefit him both making him faster and downing the survivors you pull with his ability.
2- Hex: Devour Hope - same as NOED. 1 and 2 tokens will grant you movement speed, and if you manage to get more tokens before they find the totem, you will pull and down (and even mori) survivors.
3- I'm All Ears - after a survivor fast vaulting, this will give you an advantage as you will see their aura, with this your chances at getting a successful shot are much higher.
4- Monitor & Abuse - this should help you to get closer to survivors before getting detected, in order to shoot more comfortably.
5- A Nurse's Calling - same use as huntress. You see their aura, you shoot them.
6- Sloppy Butcher - this perk will synergize beautifully with the mangled effect you apply on survivors, and will have them mending and healing for more time.
7- Save The Best For Last - as you pull and hit survivors, the cooldown of your successful attacks will be shorter. This should help you save time, which you can use to reload your weapon or to give them a second hit.
8- Play With Your Food - obvious use. You want to maximize your movement speed and this perk should help with that.
9- Make Your Choice - not sure about this one, because you have to return fast to the hook (again, 110%) and try to find the unhooker. But if you do you can always try to pull them for a quick down. Needs testing.
10- Hex: Haunted Ground - again synergizing with the killers ability, as well as with the killer's new perk Hex: Retribution.
11- Rancor - will expose your obsession after all gens are done and you can pull, down and kill them.
You might also look for your preferred gen-regressing perks as the killer is very slow and doesn't have much map pressure. If you have more perk synergies let me know in the comments!

Don't forget Sloppy Butcher. So so so glad his reel counts as a basic attack. Imagine STBFL with max reload addons? Or Sloppy with his increased mending time and Mangled addons? So glad my sweet baby Devour Hope is going to work with him.

STBFL is definitely one of the better perks on him, get 6 tokens so you can m1 then shoot them for a wombo combo of death.
PWYF is really good too and because of the oversight its even better, shame devs are most likely going to fix it.
Im all Ears is a perk i found a lot of success with, when they fast vault you see their aura for 6 sec letting you get a clean shot much easier.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll add those perks to the list!

Also the new Hangman's Trick is a really good perk overall, and goes pretty well with the new killer.
