Which is stronger: NOED or NWO?

In your opinion, which is the strongest perk to use as a killer? No one escapes death or No way out?

Having used both a bunch recently, i can say that NOED is really much much stronger than what "killer mains" make it out to be on these forums (even at high level of play).

    No One Escapes Death

    NOED can completely stop the momentum of a good team and catch cocky survivors off guard - completely shifting the paradigm of the end game and stealing momentum away from the survivors - who now have to deal with the perk or face an almost certain defeat. NOED will allow strong killers to maintain an even greater advantage, while also allowing struggling killers with a profound advantage to steal the game back from the clutches from that horrible 'Entity Displeased' screen.


    NWO can lock survivors into the match for the better part of an entire minute - but the momentum remains the same throughout. It can be an incredibly powerful tool against cocky survivors that midbudget their time, genrush builds that hold little utility outside of making the match as slow as possible, and low-tier survivors who struggle in the end game. Truthfully, though, NWO is best when employed by a good killer that has retained their own momentum throughout the match. It does not grant downs or kills - but a killer that is GOOD will be able to utilize that 40 or so seconds with efficiency - and make the downs and kills where it matters. However, if a survivor team is shredding the killer - roping them along with only a couple of hooks for the entire match, it is unlikely that an additional 40 seconds or so in the match is going to turn the game to their favor.


    Between the two - NWO is by far the best general perk to take for value if you are confident in your abilities as a killer, but NOED is simply the stronger option all around - as it punctuates each game with an emphatic power play that crushes survivors more often than not.

    No Way Out

    NOED is way too black and white. While I'd say the potential for NOED is higher, NWO is just so much more consistent and rewarding. You have to earn the strength of it, and then make good use of it. With NOED, it really doesn't matter on skill of the killer or survivors, it is super weird in terms of strength.

    No Way Out

    No way out is just really oppressive when you've got a good mid game rolling (Say like a decent amount of injures + a few 2nd hooks). And survivors can't just drop the fight like they can once they see NOED. God save us if we see people running both NOED and No way out lol.

    Well back in the day the NWO was the tag team to beat. 🤷‍♂️

    Survivors can just hide and wait out No Way Out. But with NOED, survivors have to find the totem or risk getting instantly downed if they get found.
