Im not sure anymore. At the start many talked about the overcharge, call of brine and eruption combo.

After the revert of the change i see also more Pain res/DMS again, but i dont see gift of pain often added to the mix.

Entire Hex builds/plaything + pentimento i dont see often either, but the slowdown of pentimento has sometimes a big impact bc in solo que its harder to find the totem.

The old kings ruin and pop are dead atleast in my games. Thana got only 5 seconds of glory and dying light was always a joke.

Considering all stall perks deadlock has the biggest impact for me.

For me the top 3 (considering all killer) is:

1. Deadlock

2. Pain res

3. Pentimento

What is your opinion?

    I think the strongest gen perk is still corrupt intervention. It works great on killers that can infect or set traps but it's good in case your first chase does not go well.

    I want to agree with OrangeBear here. CI is incredibly strong. With CI in play I regularly see 2-3 hooks before anyone's even gotten a single gen done. It also opens the door to some severe snowballing. After CI fade's it's like the game finally 'starts' and you've already got hooks on you, injured people, and momentum. Sure the map opens up, but it's harder to capitalize on it when people need heals, med kits are used, unhooks happened, someone's in a chase. Etc.

    Pain Res is still amazing, only limited by bad possible scourge hook spawns. Problem with Eruption, Overcharge, Call of Brine, is that they all work best when combined with at least one other, whereas Pain Res can be your one gen perk and still do work. Deadlock is also a candidate just for being totally passive; no chance of bad hooks, not getting the down in time for Eruption or Jolt, just certain value.

    Definitely Deadlock. No contest.

    Too hard to decide. They're all pretty weak.

    Teammates not doing generators. But oh if you mean perks, self care.

    I may have to agree with you both. I can not tell you the last time I saw a killer use CI and he was not good at the game. Whenever I see it at the start of a match, I know me and the other survivors are in for it.

    Corrupt is only really good on Trapper and Hag maaaybe Legion and Plague too if they play a certain way. So often I see killers bring it though and get an early down which defeats the point of bringing it.
