    Well no Perk or Add-on is surprisingly underused to me, with metas being a thing and all.

    But underrated i can name a few...


    This combination for example.
    The strongest? No.
    But it's pretty nice to immediately go cloaked again thanks to Blink, and then break the pallet much faster after they drop it thanks to Shadow Dance, then run after them again with your faster movement speed from being cloaked, and thus also getting the huge lunge from your speed boost after uncloaking.

    And this bad boy of course...

    A common addon for Amanda where you can crouch and "unstealth" faster.  Its literally better and faster than her ambush, lol

    I think Urban Evasion is highly underrated.

    I'd say territory imperative as it's helpful as f to catch greedy players or people going for a save with a decent basement combo of shrine with it

    Stakeout. 
    Under the right circumstances, or when you spend your time in the TR, you can really rush through gens/healing and it's a neat counter to ruin.
    As long as you don't have all 4 tokens full, it also serves as a detection perk because it starts the timer when you just barely scrape the TR - for example, I know when Freddy is coming near already, while the music is barely noticeable.
    I love to run this perk on my Tapp build and while I know it's not meta, think it's very underrated.

    Power range for Freddy is extremely underrated, they both stack so you can just walk around with your power up and you're bound to catch someone and when they're both stacked the range is farther than your terror radius

    Hope is really underrated. It soft counters NOED and destroys slows killers. With Balanced Landing you can infinite killers at some spots too.

    I also think Huntress's haft add-ons are underrated. Most people go with pink hatchets or Babushka, but having less cooldown can make a HUGE difference. You can double tap survivors with a hatchet then using your main attack. It also let's you start up the next shot right away.

    No one uses Beast of Prey or Spies of the Shadows for a reason

    Stake Out. I have fallen in love with this thing and honestly don't mind when Ruin is active that my allies are looping near me while I'm on gen lol

    Small game! Dem bold points XD
    Plus, I've found a massive increase in NOED killers lately, so it's become quite useful to me as I'm not a hardcore player who's memorized every single totem spawn in every single map.

    Detective's hunch
    Unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability.
    When completing a Generator, the Auras of Generators, Chests and Totems within 32/48/64 metres are revealed to you for 5 seconds.

    Great counter to NOED, ruin and any other hex perk.

    You have totally gotta teach me how to use it on tier 1, I don't have it tier 3 so I can't even use it to deny a noed, life sucks.

    the problem with the tar bottle and the log wood dye is, that they are currently bugged and your traps arent darker than before.
    therefore you used a green / yellow add on for nothing.
    however i find them really fun aswell, its just that there are better alternatives, such as the trappers bag (additional beartraps) and the trappers gloves (faster set time).

    PS: youve gotta try the log wood dye on tha pale rose! these traps are almost invisible.
