New perk loadouts for Survivors/Killers

Since the meta is no more (at least currently there isn't a new one), people are experimenting with perk loadouts. I'm pretty sure some of you guys found some very fun builds (and very efficient ones), feel free to leave your loadout in the comments section. I've been playing Demogorgon quite a lot recently and here's my loadout that I used: Cauldrophobia; Dark Devotion; Grim Embrace and Rancor

The idea behind this build is that I want to leave my obsession after hitting them and sneak up on other survivors. My obsession wouldn't be able to heal up very fast and gets very difficult skill checks, so they can't get back to generators as quickly as usual. Rancor is just a nice information perk that gives you a second chance if you didn't manage to kill/hook someone. Also Rancor really benefits from Dark Devotion's Undetectable, since your aura will no longer be revealed to your obsession (cutting down the major downside of Rancor). Grim Embrace helped me with finding my obsession (unless they are my last survivor I need to hook) and its slowdown can be very powerful sometimes.

For survivor I was playing around with Empathy, Botany Knowledge, We'll make it and Balanced Landing. Worked quite well, although sometimes I got really bad maps (so I didn't got that much value out of Balanced Landing).

    A load out I played yesterday that’s fun (but that I unfortunately had to cut short because the mouse sensitivity was bugged that match and I could barely control my steering) was Barrier Blaster Wraith

    • Brutal Strength (fast pallet and wall breaks)
    • Fire Up (fast pallet and wall breaks and vaults, stacks with Brutal)
    • Bamboozle (fast vaults, stacks with Fire Up)
    • Endurance (faster recovery from pallet stun)
    • Add-ons: Two copies of the addons that increase break and vault speeds while cloaked, stacks with all the above

    Basically I just play Wraith as usual with this build but once I’m in a chase I can simply force pallet drops and vault straight through windows if I want and keep going. So long as I’m keeping up pressure to get survivors off the gens I end up with nearly all the walls and pallets on the map broken and I can do the equivalent of medium vaults at loops that have strong windows. Lots of fun, and the extra 10 seconds on gens and faster hit and stun recoveries in the base game make it more effective. 🙂

    P.S. Despite the steering problems I got a 4k anyway, the survivors fortunately were messing up strategically. Plus we were on The Game so breaking pallets on that map was hilarious. 😄

    That build actually seems legit, although 'Shadow Dance' add-ons are quite rare, but more than 100% action speed for pallet breaking , generator kicking and breakable wall breaking seems quite fun (I definitely need to try that, but unfortunately I don't have Fire Up😔). The vault speed increase could come handy on RPD, especially on these windows near the outside staircases

    Yeah, for sure it can work, but you definitely need to be aware of the macro game and keep pressuring people off the gens.
