    Bubba for BBQ&Chilli easily.

    Plague has great perks depending on killer, at least Corrupt is great for anyone.

    Gen Regression: either Clown with Pop or Hag with Ruin (maybe along with Blights Undying)


    otherwise I like for example Spirit Fury + Enduring but I don’t think that should be the first to go for..

    lightborn (Hillbilly) OR franklins (bubba) may be good for beginners if they have problems against flashlights. Tinkerer (Hillbilly) can be great on high mobility killers.

    This is always a good question and if you want a full explanation video I would suggest looking up Otzdarva on youtube, he will it explain it the best. Now if you are willing to spend money as a killer buy Bubba first so you can get BBQ. It's a great perk overall that will also help the grind since it will give double bloodpoints. Second I would suggest either clown for Pop or Hag for Hex Ruin, both being the best generator regression perks in the game. Then a great choice (again for beginners) will be Plagues Corrupt Intervention. This will cover up 3 generators at the start of the game giving your buddy to start a chase without the threat of multiple generators being worked on. For your fourth perk if you like the ruin option you should unlock blight to get hex undying which will protect your hex ruin. If you prefer pop any fourth perk to protect your weak spots are preferred:

    1. Bubba for BBQ
    2. Clown for Pop, 2a. Hag for Ruin
    3. Plague for Corrupt
    4. Find a perk to cover a weak spot:
    5. Example of weak spot: Bad at hitting survivors at loops, then put on Bamboozle since it will close off any annoying windows they are using against you.
