    It doesn't have to be all meta or none. I often use DS or unbreakable (not together tho), then maybe another one like iron will or an exhaustion perk. Then the other two will be something like lightweight, dance with me, breakout, breakdown, flip-flop etc, I like ones that will be useless in most matches but will save the day one in 10 games.

    Edit: but run what you want, it's your game too

    Besides, some of us aren't going for the hit, but the grab.

    I have never felt the need to run meta builds. I just haven't. I rarely come across facecampers. I rarely come across tunellers. And I'm not a perk-abusing moron that thinks DS exists to give free gen time so long as there's a locker handy.

    It is not mandatory, you need the skill to back it up which a lot of survivors can't back it up and rely on second chance perks.

    Just like how survivor mains tell many killer mains, you have to git gud.

    If you want to use a perk, just use them no matter if they're "meta" or not.

    Anyone that can't seperate their dislike of a perk from people using it should just be ignored as they're just scrub crying instead of being remotely constructive. No matter if it's about NOED, DS or anything else that's "controversial" in the game.

    I'm still using Agitation + Iron Grasp + Mad Grit + Surge (the last one begrudgingly), and you can't stop me. Now to climb to rank 1. 😋

    That one game where you're tunneled off the hook right next to the exit gate, and just happened to not only have brought ds, but have it proc.. these moments are few and far between for me.

    I have played 9-10 games in a row without having ds proc once. But that one game where it's the difference between you escaping or not.. man you're glad to have it.

    I like it's safety net, but ds most of the time just feels like a wasted slot. But I'm also not exactly an OoO user, either.

    Idk i say use fun perks as long as you can get away with it.

    There really is a need for a weaker basekit ds.

    Looking at ranks afterwards, i think i have seen a rank 14 face camper once. Now im not talking end game securing last kill. Thats different then camping first hooked to death.

    When I run survivor, I don't use any meta and almost always regret it. Killers complain about meta, but they are the ones who create the meta. When I get tunneled three matches in a row, I load up DS. Then the killer cries because I DS'd at a key moment. Well.....

    This community is just too much. lol

    I think you need to take a break from the game. Never come to the forums after a bad game you'll end up posting a vitriolic rant.

    No need to take it so seriously, its just a game.

    Just curious, how many hours do you have in the game and what rank are you?

    It sounds like you're playing at around rank 20. Inexperienced killers will camp and tunnel because they don't know any better, if you're going down to them to inexperienced killers then that's on you.

    If you're playing survivor at the higher levels, you don't really need to use second chance perks to escape. You don't even need to use perks as survivor currently. If you do need to use second chance perks to a chance to escape, then again that's on you.

    If a killer is camping at red ranks they're throwing the game.

    If you know the killer is camping, just gen rush and escape as quickly as possible. For the survivor team it's better that the killer only gets a 1k than a 2k or even a 3k/4k.
