Can a killer get the 5th perk?
Killers don't seem to be so strong still. I've noticed that most of the time I kill someone due to their mistakes not because killers are stronger. If they don't make stupid mistakes, it is hard to kill a team that gen rushes and pallet loop correctly. With the 5th perk slot there are so many good builds you can make to be stronger and fun to play.

The look of five perks can look this way (I know there are survivor perks but imagine killer perks)0 -
Killers are already op. No need to make them even stronger.

Killers are not OP. Survivors make mistakes and killers just take advantage of it. If they gen rush, the killer can't do anything.

I think that another perk would be op, maybe some passive perk?

A fifth perk slot for hex perks only would see them used a lot more often.

Yeah this idea is cancelled; thanks anyway though.

Also "gen rushing" isn't a thing. The survivors have one main objective throughout the game and it's to complete generators idk what you're expecting them too do. Just stand around waiting to die? You're not supposed to get four kills every match the devs even said two kills a match is considered balanced.

Good survivors will win 50% of the time. Perfect survivors will win 99% of the time.
Same for killers.3 -

What I am saying is, not to make only killers stronger by adding the 5th perk slot, but also the survivors a little bit stronger by letting them break all hooks permanently (only when you break a hook for the 2nd time) That, I think, will keep the balance, in some way.
P.S. Genrush is a thing, Not every survivor repairs a gen during the whole game. Sometimes they hide, crouching for a long time, cleansing the dull totems, even break hooks for whatever reason. They take flashlights and follow the killer, who is chasing a different survivor. They don't all repair.0 -
The game is just fine with 4 perks, no need to add another perk slot.

5 Perks for killer but not for survivors? i don't think so, the devs just woundn't accept it, IF they do it would be for Survivor and Killer and trust me, it wouldn't be fun to play with 5 perks.

Besides, why would they want to make killers stronger? they might not be perfect but neither are survivors, the problems are that the game isn't beign balanced as it should be, they're adding new stuff but forgeting to balance the things that are allready there, Gen Rush will be a thing untill they actually address it, no other changes like the DS "No Mither" change or the no exhaustion recovery while running will fix it

That's why. The problem is that if survivors are good the killer will most likely kill 2. if anyone at all. BUt if a killer is good, it doesn't mean anything. A good killer here takes advantage of the survivors' mistakes. Killers are not strong.

No good killer can overcome genrush and palletlooping at the same time.

I am doing this. Trying to protect 3 closest gens with Overcharged 3, Pop goes the weasel 3, and tanataphobia and still they manage to do it.

I feel you, same, but a 5th perk would be just too OP, my idea to stop gen rushing a bit is to up the repair time of the gens, clearly as it is isn't good

I think that most of the survivors didn't do genrush so much before, but at the recent event, they saw how powerful it is when all the 4 of them repair with toolboxes.

maybe they could do 4 perks and a dedicated hex slot1
-
But then I guess they'd have to make the dedicated hex slot ONLY hex perks but allow the "regular perk slots" to equip hex perks. Otherwise you'd be choosing ruin and not be able to use other hexschemical_reject said:maybe they could do 4 perks and a dedicated hex slot1 -
The thing is that killer already have a 5th perk : it's their power 8-)

Are you aware that if killers would ever get the 5th slot, so will the survivors, right?
3 -
killers should have a slot dedicated to hexes imo0
