Survivors: Share your favorite non-meta builds!

Hello fellow Survivors! What non-meta builds do you most enjoy running and why?

Currently I am running Inner Strength, Dark Sense, Prove Thyself, and Lightweight and I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.

Inner Strength - it's really the only self-healing perk I enjoy since it is conditional and requires some gameplay.

Dark Sense - because I'm rusty and am unfamiliar with the new maps it is nice to at least have a general idea of where not to go.

Prove Thyself - I love to reward teamwork!

Lightweight - I'm not sure if this is still part of the Survivor meta but I've honestly just left it on for the same reason I've got Dark Sense going.

    Object of Obsession, Iron Will, Lucky Break. Fourth perk can be whatever, I've been using Bond, but Inner Strength or WGLF are both great options.

    OoO because it's so good.

    Iron Will because it's so good and screw healing.

    Lucky Break because its the best single use perk in the game. Except you can often use it twice. And it goes amazingly with OoO to draw out chases without using resources.

    Favorite builds at the moment:

    Bond, Open Handed, Kindred, Small Game

    Bond, Open Handed, Plunderer's Instinct, Appraisal

    Bond, Autodidact, Prove Thyself, Small Game

    Bond, Botany Knowledge, Self Care, We're Gonna Live Forever

    ---

    Oops, forgot why:

    I love information, and being efficient on the map. Bond, Open Handed, Kindred, and Small Game all do that for me.

    The last build is for point farming, since only self heal perks can max you out on survival points.

    The third build is for when I just wanna cap my objective in 1-2 gens then run around the map playing support.

    Basically, I just love info and being a team player + point hoarder

    Quick And Quiet, Iron Will, Stakeout, and Fast Track.

    Quick And Quiet - It helps me get away from the killer and do rushed actions without making noise.

    Iron Will - Healing wastes time, So I like to take this to keep me decently hidden.

    Stakeout - It's very underrated and has good synergy with Fast Track.

    Fast Track - Helps me get gens done a bit faster.

    Solo Build is Open Handed - Bond - Windows of Op - Small Game/Iron Will

    Lets you see where:

    All your teammates are

    All of the remaining pallets/windows are

    How many totems are left

    The rough whereabouts of the killer

    Maybe it's just because I only solo-que, but pretty much every build I run always has either Bond, Windows Of Op, OoO, Kindred, Open Handed or multiple of them together.
