    Because Iron Will exists and works 100% of the time. Now you might say against stridor it doesn't, which IS true, but off the record only lasts for a certain period of time and it only works if you're unhooked and as a solo queue survivor, I'm lucky enough if I get saved at all.

    Iron Will is just more reliable than Off the record so many people would rather take IW instead.

    Because it's a stinky perk.

    It's also never been on the shrine.

    I think the reason is the preferred playstyle. With Iron Will, you can stay injured and proceed with objectives. The survivors using it are confident in their looping skills and will tend to play more risky. Off the record is more like a safe approach, it guarantees you near undetectability (due to aura blocking) after being unhooked, so you can use that to hide and heal up somewhere. Of course you could use the perk more offensively, but since it is time based the value it can provide to you is limited, compared to Iron will.

    Used it for a while on a char that didn’t have a better option and gotta agree with most here: time-limit after being unhooked makes this perk too situational. If the killer want to hardcore tunnel, the perk is useless because I don’t have time to get away from the hook without the killer seeing me. Otherwise the perk is deactivated as soon as I would it.
