Want to use non Gen Regression Perks

Build I use in most matches on most killers that are not S Tier is Overcharge, Call of Brine, Eruption, Deadlock. I will take one perk out for another based on killer occassionally or if I need Franklin's.

But in high MMR if I run aggro builds that make sense, I lose so fast against gen rush premades. Even solo que high MMR can give trouble if they know what to do (as in i have to get a 3 gen to control the situation but usually still win).

Example: Building Wesker based off his terror radius makes sense and is fun. But without at least 2 gen regression perks, most people can loop you for usually a partially completed gen that you didn't regress earlier even if you keep them injured all match.

I know aggro builds are easy mode and work on Nurse, Blight, Spirit, etc but it is boring to run the same build on weaker killers just to stand a chance against 4 Brand New Part/insert medkit add on here, Prove Thyself premades that are guaranteed flashlights in their first chest.

Does anyone else have a build that works against some of the sweatiest teams on lower tier killers that I may not thought of?

    A full endgame build with NOED, No Way Out, etc. You can even sprinkle a little depending on the killer: Coup de Grace is amazing on Wesker, Deadlock to give you time between gens, etc.

    I'm still running corrupt, honestly I'd rather this perk than anything else and it helps so much (yano stops survivors spawning separated on multiple different gens) which I'd argue is one of the biggest impacts in a game...

    Against really good survivors you will need gen defense or usually someone like noed to make sure you can get that W. Most people wont understand that as they feel they can win any team no perks/addons

    Best thing is try think what will help the issues you verse when you play, whether that's early game, body blocking, items etc. And then try equip perks to help with that along side a gen defense/regression

    Have you tried getting some self respect and not running 4 Gen slowdown perks? Jesus Christ there are like 60+ perks.

    On Wesker just run Deadlock and Unnerving Presense if you are so hard up for slowdown. Deadlock with allow you to lean on the crutch you're so used to, while Unnerving will give them pressure without having to actively do anything.

    You can try Survellance with either Ruin or Oppression to give you a ######### ton of information.

    You can do Eruption alone, along with some chase perks to finalize the eruption.

    If the Survivors manage to escape, good for them. They managed to overcome your carefully built plan. Running 4 slowdown perks is a scummy way of playing.

    Running 4 brand new parts is a scummy way of playing to.

    Here's a challenge. Go play The Dredge with Claustraphobia and Tinkerer's. Go experience the actual joy of coming out of a locker right in front of them just as the Gen pops, and they go running into the jungle gym to escape...

    Unnerving Presense does absolutely nothing against people who are half decent at the game, if you are getting value out of it you are playing against potatoes, also it can even help survivors since it doesn't reduce the great skillcheck area, good players can hit great skillchecks more consistently when unnerving is applied.

    Regardless. As long as gens are popping in 50~ seconds, gen regression builds will continue.

    if you want to use less regression but want to still be able to combat genrushes, id suggest moving some of your build into the endgame, things like rancor, no way out, remember me, noed, terminus, etc. just so you dont bully chill teams where you dont need much regression, but so you can still combat those seal team 6 navy seal sweats

    And if survs don’t gen rush they’ll lose against your Overcharge, Call of Brine, Eruption, Deadlock.

    You say that like it happens every single match compared to killers running 4 slowdowns almost every match. In the 50 games I’ve played as killer this week the most amount of BNPs I saw was 2

    They can't do gens if they are dead.

    My advice is that if you want to win with no regression perks, you have to play hyper-aggressive. I run zero slowdown builds pretty often, and can still beat good teams even as low-tiers. I don't even think I'm all that good or anything, I just run four chase perks so I can end chase very quickly.

    Good game sense helps too. Knowing when to camp and slug, ect.
