How would the meta be impacted if a 5th perk slot was made available for both sides?

    Honestly it would mostly be used for point perks or gimmicky stuff like shadowborn honestly

    Shadowborn doesn't stack with Monitor.

    Unless you mean le 3 double eye perks for killer (not sure if they're the only three).

    I don't know about Survivor Side (maybe reserved for a Boon Totem Perk) but I could see a 5th slot being reserved for a Hex Perk for Killers, that way they can make a proper build, then pick a Hex Perk to run. Then, if it gets broken, the Killer didn't really lose much.

    A 6th totem would have to be added to the map due to max hex totem count if someone runs Haunted.

    Well tbh killers would still ruin as many slowdown perks as possible, so you’d probably still get:

    Ruin, Undying, Corrupt, BBQ and now throw in Pop for good measure. Or swap out Ruin/Undying for Pop, plus Sloppy/Thanat or some gimmicky perks like Shadowborn.

    It would be exactly the same except killers would add Corrupt and survivors would add Soul Guard

    yeah survivors would just shove another meta perk and killers would run 5 slowdowns instead of 4.

    Hell yeah 20 perks vs 5 perk killer.

    Survs would be able to run DH BT prove WGLF and DS or Iron Will (what I’d do tbh)

    Killers would either be running QOL perks like Shadowborn or another slowdown like undying or corrupt (for example my build would be Ruin Infectious Corrupt Tinkerer and BBQ (for da points)

    I've always said killers/survivors should have one inherent perk unique to them that others cannot have. Bill with Unbreakable. Meg Adrenaline. etc etc etc etc

    Lmao That's exactly what I would use it for too and finally get to run builds that I want to run without always having to save a slot for a BP perk

    I could actually run Lightborn full time without needing to constantly change it.


    As survivor? No longer must I choose between borrowed and Slippery.

    Probably reduce the variety of builds, since many consider only a few viable. So the game would probably be even more predictable.

    For Killer? Yes since it's 4 vs 16, for Survivor? LOL

    Surge, pop, deadlock, bbq and corrupt!

    a 5th perk for killers should not be forced to be a Hex, no Solo hex besides from Haunted grounds is worth, so either there would be an increase in haunted grounds usage and people claim for the nerfs or nobody cleanses totems because they're afraid of Haunted Grounds which would mean every other Hex perk would be nerfed to even more uselessness so that survivors can keep cleansing totems.

    Ruin Undying Tinkerer Pop BBQ on Blight and Spirit.

    DS UN DH IW BT on survivors.

    QnQ Head On Flashbang Blast Mine Inner Strength for me :)

    For survivors, I feel like Borrowed Time is mandatory and even though I resent having to take it, whenever anyone doesn't have it and unhooks me, it invariably results in me being tunnelled. Though I think there's also a strong argument for something like Bond - something that puts Solo Q closer on par with SWF would be nice.

    For killers, since nearly every killer has BBQ might as well pick that.

    3 slowdown perks and 2 comfort perks, 4 slowdown perks and a comfort perk or 5 slowdown perks.

    Corrupt, Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer and Pop will probably be the build you'd see the most.

    technically they're the only three eye perks,

    2 Op if paired together! =D

    (Justa meme)
