Solo-Queue Perk Combo?

So I was catching up with a friend and we decided to play some duo SWFs and he asked if I had Open-handed, and I said yes but asked why. He said to put it on with Kindred and oh boy, you could see the killer within 32 meters of the hook.

I never thought of stacking these two perks prior, and I still don't plan to continue stacking them personally. Thoughts on this?

    Open handed is slept on.

    With kindred or bond it gives insane info, with bond you basically have wallhacks, and are able to judge and see where everyone is, killer and survivor. Kindred is also great, but it requires someone on hook ,but still it provides great info.It also works with any aura related perks, and addons ( keys ,maps)

    My personal fav build with it is bond, kindred, visionary, openhanded, it's a meme, but super chill to play, knowing where everyone is, and where each gen on map is located.

    I never really went for perk combos as a Solo Q player, to be completely honest.

    Just my usual build has always been enough.

    A friend convinced me to use Head On/Deception and I can't take it off now.

    It really is a fun build, a smart dredge or a killer with Iron Maiden can counter the build tho that’s the thing, I used the head on flash bang build with deception and ds and couldn’t stop using it until dredge came out like a few weeks later.

    My favorite is slippery meat and up the ante. it's (Almost) like having deliverance without the safe un-hook requirement.


    if you can get a squad to run it together it's actually pretty insane. As every time the killer hooks someone for the first time you completely remove the pressure by just unhooking yourself. The odds of an unhook escape with 3 up the antes (The most I've had in my group but it would be better if you have all 4) is 44%, and you get 6 attempts so the odds are quite good (No luck offerings required!!). Gotta run off the record and/or DS because there is a slight chance the killer will come right back for you if he sees what you're up too haha. Bring medkits and all of you become completely independent. My only complaint with this build is you don't pip and don't get many blood points haha.


    It's even better when you the killer comes back and looks for the un-hooker kekw

    Or if they have devour as they get absolutely zero stacks. :3

    I slept on Kindred/Bond/Open Handed in the past, but it's good. I just hate having to run it to get basic information in the first place. The biggest issue with those perks is that information only helps when teammates are playing well too. Showing the aura of every way teammates are trying to throw the game won't help you win it more often than not. Like a lot of times I'll see a teammate in a really dumb spot, say to myself, "You're throwing if you get found there," and lo and behold they get found there and throw.

    So yes, they can put you over the top. Or a lot of times it's more a "Yup. Good to know. Gg." type thing

    Man I'd swap that Visionary for Deja Vue. You get a Gen repair speed buff on the revealed ones, and can target gens to prevent a 3 Gen situation.
