Dark Sense vs Alert

So as solo survivor let's say for the next 50 games you must use only one of these perks, which one would you pick? You have to pick one.

Perk vs Perk..who wins? Fight! 😀

    Alert - it gives you much more information, and technically it has unlimited uses.

    Dark sense? Nope, bad perk.

    Dark sense needs a buff tbh

    Alert is definitely way better imo. It lets you know where the killer is more often, which pallets have been used, and lets you know someone else is in a chase. Dark Sense only gets value a maximum of 5 times and doesn't provide additional info like Alert does.

    Dark Sense, probably. It's a very underrated perk.

    Dark sense only activates a max of 5 times during a match - and that's way too limiting for all perks designed on this trigger condition (See Demogorgon's Cruel Limits teachable).

    Alert actually gives you a ton of information including what gens are being kicked (meaning had progress on it at least) - what pallets are being used up so you know a certain area is dead as the match proceeds if you are paying attention. Of course direct killer position at least 10 times during a match - it's about equal with Empathy in value for me while Bond and Kindred are one step above as a solo queue player

    I hate using dark sense because it does the exact same thing that rancor does for the survivor with the aura reading. Thus, if you're the obsession and have dark sense there's no way you know the killer has rancor until the EXPOSED status is on your screen which seems extremely terrifying.

    I remember one time a teammate was in this exact situation, poor guy got sliced in half.

    It's not underrated, it's just too situational, you can only use it 6 times, and alert unlimited.

    Thats hard. Dark sense 100% if I didn't always think it was rancor. If rancor didn't do the aura thing it would be dark sense but as it is I would pick alert.

    Alert is far better. Procs more often and it's very nice for looping.

    Alert is way better, even if I do really like Dark Sense.
