Please, click on the bold text. Several people listed meta perks on the thread.


OK. Imagine the perks mentionned by the developpers to be changed are deleted from the game. If you don't know the list they shown us, check their article about it.

Survivor, Killer... Let me know what would be your new loadouts.

For Killer, I'll go with a general loadout because I'm lazy to think about all of them individually. I'd run Discordance, Call of Brime, Fearmonger/Blood Echo, No Way Out.

For Survivor, it'd be Second Wind, Vigil/Fixated, Balanced Landing/Overcome, WGLF. I wanted to use Resilience instead of WGLF, but it appears in one of the loadouts from the article. So I wasn't sure about it not being into the changes which are coming.

Tell me yours. I'm curious.

    I already run a pretty non-standard build on my two mains, Huntress and Trickster.

    For Huntress, I have been running Agitation, Whispers, Lethal Pursuer and Overcharge/Nurse's Calling. Trickster's one is Whispers, Play With Your Food, Bamboozle and, again, Lethal Pursuer.

    I don't play Survivor much, but the only Survivors I play that are actually levelled up for something outside of perks (Cheryl & Steve), I run Lithe, Alert, We're Gonna Live Forever and Windows of Opportunity on.

    Windows of Opportunity and Nurse's are in the 24 meta perks. :p

    You're a meta user!! (I'm kiding. I never thought these two perks were OP. They're good tho.)

    FU-

    I'd probably use Any Means Neccessary if Windows of Opportunity were deleted, and just stick to Overcharge on Huntress.

    I don't use meta perks, just aura reading perks. So I dont have to worry except for bbq, if that is changed to the point of nonviableness I'd probably just use floods of rage.

    Not sure, but I know for a fact I will be running Shadowborn on more killers now that I don't have to worry as much about metaslave survivors having a huge upper hand.

    I already run non meta on most of my characters (both killers and survivors)

    Prove thyself. I don’t see it in the list

    Since I'm in the "DH into a wall"-faction and just don't usually get/feel tunneled enough to justify DS the only meta perk I always have is BT -- and man, I'd be so happy if I don't have to bring that one anymore. Pretty much every game I didn't bring it I thought "if only you had BT".

    I usually run BT, We'll make it, Botany - and then just one perk I feel like. Usually one of the following: Wake Up, Pharmacy, Hope, Adrenaline, Quick and Quiet, WGLF, Resurgence, Built To Last or Prove Thyself - For The People, Flash Bang, Blast Mine, Artisan and Appraisal are also nice to have but usually don't justify the perkslot. Adrenaline is somewhat meta-ish, so that would drop from the list but I'd fill my perks up with the ones mentioned above.


    As for Killer... I apparently don't run any meta perks to begin with, except for jolt, but given that I kinda like kicking gens I've started to replace it with Eruption anyway. So... it'd be Eruption, Fearmonger, Lethal Pursuer/Spies from the Shadows and some random thing. I sometimes like to take Thrill of the Hunt and defend that totem just to see what happens. When a team thinks it must be Devour or something and start putting everything into cleansing it, it's actually kinda funny to watch 😂

    Killer:

    • Discordance (probably among my favorite perks).
    • Call of Brine (on mobility killers) or Surge (on Hag, Myers, Ghosty etc.)
    • Plaything
    • Pentimento

    On slower killers, replace Plaything/Penti with

    • Agitation
    • Starstruck
    • Maybe replace Discordance with Floods of Rage

    On killers with traps, replace this with

    • Devour Hope
    • Blood Favour


    Survivor:

    • Windows of Opportunity (I just love this perk, as it tells me what pallets are still up)
    • Lithe
    • Empathy (people sleep on this perk) or Shadowstep (among the perks that scare me the most as killer)
    • Kindred OR Botany Knowledge (if I'm bringing a medkit)

    I mean it's impossible to say for me. They are changing core mechanics and buffing underused perks as well so a lot is going to change.

    My standard loadout as killer is usually PR+DMS and either Pent+Plaything for pip farming or BBQ+Brine for BP farming. If I don't have to run as much gen regression to win games, I'll likely go mostly info perks with a chase perk based on whatever works best for the killer I'm running.

    BBQ probably won't get nerfed. It'll probably get a stronger effect and the BP bonus will probably be made basekit.

    But otherwise since I mainly play Legion:

    - Enduring

    - Spirit Fury

    - Shadowborn

    - Bamboozle


    On Survivor:

    - Kindred

    - Wglf

    - Spine Chill

    - We'll make it/Resilience

    I don't really run meta perks. Maybe iron will but that's just because it makes head on a little more feasible.

    All my perk builds are centered around some dumb build I come up with. High Fiber legion. Possible Wizard Doctor. M1 Plague.

    Dunno, def using any means necessary, its stupid underrated.

    It's a little hard to guess without knowing how much the basic gameplay is adjusted and how severely the meta perks will be nerfed. I can absolutely see them still remaining meta. But, lets take the best case scenario since we are guessing.

    Killer:

    Deadlock, No Way Out, Jolt, I'm All Ears

    Survivor:

    Overcome, Prove Thyself, We'll Make It, Windows

    Though I was probably playing against low ranks my pig with rules no. 2, video tape

    blood warden, make your choice, hex: haunted grounds and BBQ though that was the only meta perk

    It was pretty fun and with my 3 games only one unlucky dwight got his party hat to spray confetti.
