Favorite Perks to Encounter?

Ok so I am a total meghead and suck at looping, but whenever I enter the shack and try using the god pallet and then the killer has bamboozle I'm... pleasantly surprised? I actually find it to be way more fun when killers are prepared like that because it forces me out of my comfort zone and I have to learn new tactics. I also kinda like NOED, since it forces me to cleanse all the bones (boldness points ahoy lol!) What are some of your favorite perks when playing as killer/ survivor that you think spice up the game? And let's keep arguments civil, let's face it, all perks are powerful if used correctly :)!

    I like seeing Kindred & Borrowed Time.

    *laughs in cloak*


    But seriously, We'll Make It is still way too infrequently used, so seeing it makes me go: "Nice.".

    I like the feeling of dread and urgency once I realise the Killer has gotten Devour Hope stacked to 3. Makes the game that much more tense immediately^^

    I also like Head On and Pebble, just because it´s so funny and unexpected most of the time :D

    I always bring kindred because of solo q, and BT is amazing! I agree, We'll Make It is such a great perk but it's hard to use with survivors that don't let you heal them lol!

    Devour Hope is another favorite of mine! When you're working on a gen and you hear that sound (you know the one) and the exposed status shows up, I'm running to my locker! Pebble is extra fun when you see them throw it in front of you and ur just like 'really?' lol :)!

    What slash said, pebble is so fun to encounter as it can honestly throw even the most experienced killers. It is such an under-used perk that has pretty good use especially if you're going for a looping build while also being stealthy. Being able to lose a killer and have them go searching for you can buy some valuable time for your team.

    Myeah, i know that's part of the problem.

    But then again: If loads of people use it, then those who run away also encounter it more and more, and might become more inclined to wait for the heal, or at least run somewhere safe and close-by.

    As a survivor, a killer perk I'm happy to come across is Infectious Fright, as it suddenly means I have to be more than just complacent and hiding nearby. Makes me realise I need to run and quick! Or NOED - I genuinely enjoy that last minute panic and the story that comes from it.

    As a killer, a perk I enjoy running against on a survivor is Head On, because that's usually a fun surprise and makes me more cautious of those lockers. Also, as rare as it is, I like Babysitter. Makes me know I'm against selfless individuals, which I pay a decent amount of respect to.

    Dark Devotion.

    I always assume it’s Tinkerer, but in some cases it was actually Dark Devotion.


    Survivors running Better Together always puts a smile on my face. Even though they always run Prove Thyself and don’t accept healing...

    tinkerer I love the feeling of caution when doing gens and tinkerer gives that feeling

    Dark Devotion is always a fun time for me, both as the user and being on the recieving end.

    Always nice to see another survivor going on the hook have Kindred, and shoutout to the We'll Make It gamers as well.

    And if someone manages to use Diversion in a way that bamboozles me or I see someone trick the killer with it I immediately feel an overwhelming sense of pure respect and admiration 😄
